While some RPGs excel at creating immersive worlds, even if they aren’t perfectly logical, games like Final Fantasy 7 and Tom Clancy’s The Division demonstrate strong world-building. Let’s explore how these and other games construct their environments.
Throughout early 2026, Microsoft has been steadily adding Final Fantasy games to its subscription service, releasing a new one each month.

Embark announced its plans for ARC Raiders earlier this year, outlining four major updates scheduled between January and April. The third update, Flashpoint, arrived at the end of March, introducing a dangerous new map condition, a frightening new ARC enemy type, two new weapons, and other improvements.

This update will add a large, powerful new ARC enemy – likely comparable to the Queen or Matriarch – and a completely new map, the first since Stella Montis was released late last year.
Duncan Macmillan, known for plays like People, Places and Things and Every Brilliant Thing, wrote The Mad King. Dominic Cooke, who has directed productions of Good, Follies, and The Hollow Crown, directs this new stage adaptation.

Mecha anime, while always popular with dedicated fans, doesn’t always break into the mainstream.

This can make it hard for new fans to know where to begin, beyond the most famous titles. So, let’s explore some of the best mecha anime ever made.
Darth Maul is a hugely popular character in the Star Wars universe. He first appeared in Star Wars: Episode 1 – The Phantom Menace and quickly won over fans.

In 2025, everyone was talking about games like Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 and Hollow Knight: Silksong. Now, will Mewgenics and Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection generate the same buzz?
