Start the Residence chapter with the Kid still on top of the elevator.

After a challenging two-year development process, Amazon officially announced its live-action Tomb Raider TV series in September 2025, starring Sophie Turner, known for her role in Game of Thrones. In January 2026, Amazon MGM Studios released the first images of Turner as Lara Croft, showing the 29-year-old actress wearing the character’s famous teal top.

Because the game world is so vast, it’s easy to feel lost when you first start playing. Finding specific items can be especially challenging, as it’s unclear where to even begin your search.

The wait for Season 2 of Dispatch is especially annoying. It’s not simply the lack of updates, but the fact that the show is perfectly suited to keep fans engaged even between seasons. With a stellar cast, a compelling take on superheroes, and a focus on character development, Dispatch already has everything needed for continued interest. AdHoc Studios proved this by successfully providing extra content between episodes of Season 1. Instead of relying on trailers or promises, they should repeat that successful strategy. The best approach isn’t more teasers, but expanding the story through comics—something Dispatch has already shown can work wonderfully.

Even though it’s still in early access, the game has quickly become popular, with players especially enjoying its focus on exploration and a more strategic, defensive style of play. Several other promising games are in development, aiming to expand on these ideas with features like space travel and roguelike elements, while still keeping the satisfying core of automated building. Like the first game, many of these will launch as early access titles, meaning they’re still being developed and won’t be fully finished for a while. However, this is a good thing! It lets players join the development process, offering feedback and helping to shape the game alongside the creators – a process that mirrors the careful construction of bases within the game itself.

The Elbaf arc in One Piece has been unfolding for over a year, and fans are consistently surprised by the new information revealed with each chapter. A major focus of the story, carefully built by creator Eiichiro Oda since the arc began, centers around the Devil Fruit powers of Loki.

Starting with the update released in late August 2023 (version 0.217.14), every world in Valheim now contains three Sealed Towers in its Plains areas. These towers act as dungeons, but they’re different from others because you don’t need to load a new screen to enter them – they’re part of the open world. You can find them while exploring, or by using Hildir’s map. Interestingly, even though they look like you should climb them, you actually complete them by starting at the top and working your way down to the bottom, where a boss is waiting.

You can easily find Softwood Logs early in the game in Hytale, but they don’t always appear with that specific name. “Softwood” actually covers several different types of logs. Here’s a breakdown of what to look for.

LEGO has some amazing sets coming out in 2026, including a detailed Pokémon set with Charizard, Venusaur, and Blastoise, and a smaller Zelda display. However, the LEGO Creel House from Stranger Things has been particularly impressive and sets a high standard for the rest of the year’s releases. Even though I enjoy Stranger Things, this LEGO set is truly outstanding.

In the Naruto universe, Naruto Uzumaki, the Seventh Hokage, is widely considered the most powerful ninja. His story is inspiring – he started as a struggling underdog and overcame every challenge to become incredibly strong. By the end of the series, only a few exceptionally powerful beings, like Kaguya and Hagoromo Otsutsuki, surpassed him in strength.
