As a huge fan, I was so excited when Death Stranding finally came out in November 2019, especially after Hideo Kojima left Konami back in 2015. It really delivered and everyone loved it! Then, after Norman Reedus kind of hinted at something earlier in the year, we officially got the announcement of Death Stranding 2: On The Beach at The Game Awards in 2022. And wow, the sequel, which came out this June, is even better than the first – it’s absolutely incredible!

While EA’s Skate hasn’t gotten as much attention since it launched, the developers are planning a big Season 2 to bring players back. This new season, lasting until March 3, 2026, will add a ton of fresh content, including new places to skate, challenges, events, tricks, customizable items, features, and game modes.

Okay, so everyone always talked about Duke Nukem Forever taking forever to make – like, 14 years! But honestly, Beyond Good & Evil 2 is blowing that record out of the water. If it ever actually comes out, it’ll make Duke Nukem’s development time look like a quick weekend project.

Fans are extremely unhappy with the animation and quality of the current season, and episode 6, “Motley Heroes,” has become the lowest-rated anime episode ever on IMDb. It’s now scored even lower than a previous record-holder – episode 11 of The Promised Neverland‘s second season – despite starting with a relatively higher rating.

With popular series like Jujutsu Kaisen and My Hero Academia recently finishing, Weekly Shonen Jump is currently experiencing a lull. One Piece is keeping the magazine afloat, but Shonen Jump has already selected several new titles to focus on. Hopefully, series like Kagurabachi and Ichi the Witch will become the next big hits for the magazine.

Many players of ARC Raiders seem to be losing interest, and that might be why the weekly Trials are taking so long to finish. However, I believe the problem goes beyond just the game losing its initial popularity. Several things are contributing to the difficulty, and it’s clear from the community feedback that I’m not the only one finding them challenging.

If you’re celebrating Thanksgiving with a large group of non-gamers, party games are a great choice. But if you’re just with a few friends who also enjoy gaming, a classic co-op game might be more fun. You could even play online with friends and take a break from family time! Ultimately, choose whatever sounds best for you.

In 2025, players enjoyed a diverse selection of co-op games, including large-scale survival adventures, traditional beat ’em ups, and role-playing games, as well as challenging roguelikes and other genres. The year was especially strong for brand new game ideas, though several excellent sequels and fresh installments in popular series also launched. The games listed below are organized alphabetically.
