Although Crimson Desert received some uncertain reactions before its March 19th release, it has become a huge hit for Pearl Abyss. Strong player recommendations played a big part in the game’s growing popularity. Pearl Abyss also actively listened to player feedback and used it to constantly improve the game, even making significant changes to features and gameplay. Unlike most developers who share future plans, Pearl Abyss has intentionally avoided doing so, and for a particular reason.

Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji are incredibly strong fighters for the Straw Hat Pirates. While Sanji is the crew’s cook, he’s also a top-tier combatant – he proved this by defeating Queen in Wano with minimal injuries and recently destroying one of Kizaru’s lasers on Egghead. Although beating Queen was a significant feat, Sanji is still far below the power level of someone like Imu, the King of the World. Imu demonstrated his overwhelming strength in Chapter 1180 by effortlessly launching Sanji across the battlefield with a single kick. Aside from Luffy, none of the Straw Hats could last even a second in a fight against Imu.

Xbox stopped adding older games to its backward compatibility program in 2021, disappointing many fans. But to celebrate 25 years of Xbox, the company is bringing the program back! They’ve asked fans to vote for the games they want most, and after counting thousands of votes, a top 10 list has emerged. If you’re still using an Xbox One or considering upgrading, keep in mind that this program is designed for Xbox Series X/S consoles and the new Project Helix console.

Atari’s financial struggles played a major role in the video game market crash of 1983. After attempting to launch new consoles—including the unsuccessful Atari Jaguar—the company stopped making gaming hardware in the late 1990s. Since then, Atari has faced repeated financial difficulties and ownership changes. However, the brand has recently seen a revival by focusing on re-releasing classic games and preserving gaming history. Atari has also been acquiring many older game franchises, bringing beloved titles to modern platforms for a new generation of players.

As a huge Dragon Ball fan, I’ve always been fascinated by the Kaioken! It’s an incredible technique that can massively boost your power, depending on how much you push it. But here’s the thing – it’s really dangerous. Throughout Dragon Ball Z, Goku walks a fine line with it, almost crippling himself a few times! Then, in Dragon Ball Super, he takes it even further and actually gets sick – it’s called Delayed Onset Ki Disorder! Honestly, when used right, the Kaioken is one of the most powerful transformations in the whole series, but you have to be so careful, or it could literally kill you. It’s a high-risk, high-reward move that always keeps me on the edge of my seat!

When the gamepad was first announced, a lot of people doubted it – some thought it was too expensive or just too big. But honestly, those concerns didn’t seem to matter much because it sold out almost instantly! Seriously, within half an hour of going on sale, it was gone. Of course, that meant scalpers jumped in, trying to sell it for three times the price. Luckily, Valve listened to the fans who were upset and promised to fix things for future releases.

Okay, so FromSoftware, the guys behind games like Elden Ring, Sekiro, Bloodborne, and the Dark Souls series, are seriously amazing at what they do. They basically created the ‘soulslike’ genre – meaning their games are known for being incredibly challenging, but also having these stunning, dark worlds. Their next big thing is The Duskbloods, a Switch 2 exclusive that looks really cool – it’s all about vampires and has both player-versus-player and player-versus-environment combat. It’s supposed to drop later this year, but I’m hearing rumors they’re also working on a secret pirate game! That would be awesome if true.

The Super Smash Bros. series has been incredibly popular across Nintendo consoles. Super Smash Bros. Brawl was a major success on the Wii, and Super Smash Bros. for Wii U sold very well despite the console’s struggles. The series also thrived on handheld devices like the 3DS, culminating in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate on the Switch, which features the biggest character lineup in the game’s history.

Following the death of Gojo Satoru in Jujutsu Kaisen, the series creator, Gege Akutami, has revealed that Yuji Itadori will become a mentor to the next generation of sorcerers. He’ll be joined in this role by Aoi Todo, who has already trained many sorcerers, as confirmed by both Akutami and Yuji Iwasaki.
