Okay, so it totally makes sense why LEGO and Pokémon are teaming up again – it’s Pokémon Day 2026! That marks 30 years since the original Pokémon Red and Green came out in Japan way back in ’96. While we’re getting new LEGO Pokémon sets, nobody knows exactly how many they’ll make at first, or if the awesome Kanto Gym Badges set will come back. Most of us fans don’t think it will, and even when it was available, you could only get it if you bought the big Venusaur, Charizard, and Blastoise set – it wasn’t sold on its own. Because of that, one dedicated fan decided to rebuild the Gym Badges set themselves using different LEGO bricks, which is pretty cool!

Embark Studios has been listening to player feedback and consistently adding improvements to ARC Raiders with each update. However, many players wish the development process was faster. A common complaint is that the game lacks essential features it should have had from the beginning, with the absence of a world map being a key example.

Wildlight initially launched 5v5 as a trial, but it proved popular and is now a permanent game mode.

Which games could be even better with a little more development time? Some games are already fantastic, but they have so much potential that extra polish and content would make them truly exceptional. Let’s explore some RPGs, shooters, and other titles that deserve more time in the spotlight.

Development of Ashes of Creation started in 2017 with a successful Kickstarter campaign that raised over $3.2 million. The game recently entered early access for $50, but just one month later, Intrepid Studios director Steven Sharif announced the studio was shutting down on Discord.

Released in June 2024, the co-op platformer Chained Together quickly became a hit with streamers and players alike. Within its first week, over 80,000 people were playing the game, and it was even named “Stream Game of the Year” at the 2024 Streamer Awards. The game’s popularity has led to a film adaptation being planned by Anton studio. Now, a new game on Steam builds on the Chained Together concept, putting a fresh spin on the idea with a log ride adventure featuring two lumberjacks.

Despite likely still living in Konoha, several beloved characters from Naruto haven’t been seen in the Boruto series. Fans are curious about what these characters are doing, but they haven’t made any appearances in the anime yet. Here’s a look at six of the best-developed characters from Naruto who seem to have been left out of the Boruto storyline.

We finally have a confirmed release timeframe for the first season, according to Casey Bloys, Chairman and Content CEO of HBO. Soon, Harry Potter fans will be able to revisit the Wizarding World in a new adaptation that aims to improve upon the movies and truly honor J.K. Rowling’s beloved book series.

Gege Akutami plans for Tsurugi Okkotsu to follow a similar path to Maki Zenin, and recent developments in Jujutsu Kaisen show him undergoing a remarkable change, becoming a powerful fighter even without using cursed energy. Tsurugi, Maki Zenin’s grandson, has reached his full potential, achieving a level of strength comparable to Toji Fushiguro and Maki herself. He’s now capable of fighting independently and could potentially become a Special Grade sorcerer without relying on Rika.

There’s been a lot of discussion about Leon’s age in the new Resident Evil game. Since the game is set thirty years after the events of Raccoon City, many fans thought he’d be in his early 50s. However, that’s not quite right. While he’s older than he appeared in Resident Evil 6, Capcom’s promotional materials led to some misunderstandings about exactly how old he is.
