2026 will be an exciting year for Magic: The Gathering, with four sets crossing over with popular franchises. The year kicks off in March with a full expansion based on Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Throughout the year, players can also look forward to Magic sets inspired by Marvel, The Hobbit, and Star Trek. Plus, two sets continuing the game’s established storylines – Secrets of Strixhaven and Reality Fracture – will also be released. Recently, fans received a surprising hint about another upcoming Magic set.

I took a long break from Magic: The Gathering when I was 19, but I got back into playing and collecting a couple of years ago when the Bloomburrow set was announced. I bought all four Commander decks from Bloomburrow, plus a collector’s booster display, a regular booster box, the starter decks, and a pre-release kit. I quickly became really engaged again, and I’m already excited about the Lorwyn Eclipsed set. I’ve been involved with Magic: The Gathering for most of my life, so while I understand why Wizards of the Coast is making changes to the Ashling, the Limitless card before it’s even released, I also think it’s a sign of a larger issue with the game.

The Far Cry series began in 2004 and has become popular for its expansive open worlds, exciting first-person gameplay, and stories about surviving in dangerous, uncontrolled environments. While the first game was created by Crytek, Ubisoft has developed and released all the Far Cry games since then. It’s been a few years since Ubisoft released a new Far Cry title; the most recent was Far Cry 6 in 2021, featuring Giancarlo Esposito as the villain. Currently, Far Cry 6 has generally received mixed to positive reviews on Steam.

Microsoft’s game streaming service, first known as xCloud, has been available since November 2019 as a benefit for Xbox Game Pass subscribers in certain regions. It originally required the top-tier ‘Ultimate’ subscription, but in August 2025, Microsoft made it available to all Game Pass members (excluding those on PC). Later, in November 2025, the company announced plans to offer a free version of the service supported by advertisements, confirming long-standing speculation.

Throughout the entire Dragon Ball series – from the original Dragon Ball to DBZ, Dragon Ball GT, and Dragon Ball Super – Goku consistently defeats enemies who, realistically, should be much stronger. While this is often done to create dramatic moments and develop the story or characters, it still requires viewers to accept some unbelievable scenarios.

Western RPGs also offer immersive worlds and memorable characters. Here are ten highly-rated games that consistently deliver quality gameplay from start to finish.

LEGO currently offers 5 Pokémon sets featuring popular characters like Pikachu and Eevee, as well as the first three starter Pokémon – Venusaur, Charizard, and Blastoise. They also have a Kanto Gym Badge Collection and a Mini Pokémon Center. However, the Mini Pokémon Center and Gym Badge Collection are only available as free gifts – through The Pokémon Center website or as a reward for LEGO Insiders members. While these sets are enjoyable, many fans find the focus solely on the original 150 Pokémon a little disappointing, especially considering LEGO’s generally high prices.

I’ve been a huge fan of Atlus games for years, and I was so excited to hear that Kouji Okada – a true legend with 40 years in the industry and the co-founder of Atlus himself, known for creating the amazing Shin Megami Tensei and Persona series – is coming out of retirement! He’s now producing a brand new RPG from Compile Heart, and it sounds like it’s going to be a ‘school life’ themed game. I can’t wait to see what he comes up with next!

Kai Cenat began creating online content with vlogs on YouTube before starting to livestream on Twitch in 2021. He quickly became known for playing a variety of games, including the Batman: Arkham series and challenging titles like Elden Ring and Bloodborne. Most recently, as of late 2025, Cenat hosted Mafiathon 3, a month-long livestream event featuring guests like LeBron James and Mariah Carey. During Mafiathon 3, Cenat pledged to donate 15% of the revenue earned from new subscribers to fund the construction of a school in Nigeria.

The Rinnegan is an incredibly powerful ability introduced in the later part of the Naruto series. It was legendary within the story, often compared to the Six Paths Senjutsu, and highly sought after by many. Those who possessed the Rinnegan were considered god-like, and it was clearly a step above even the Mangekyo Sharingan, establishing it as one of the most powerful abilities in the entire Naruto universe.
