Everyone’s expecting Solo Leveling Season 2 to be the biggest anime of 2025, and it will be tough for anything else to compete with that level of excitement. So, let’s take a look at some promising anime coming out in 2026, and also mention a few shows that haven’t announced their release dates yet.
One Piece is full of incredibly strong characters, and now that the story is reaching its climax, the creator, Oda, is really highlighting the power of characters he’s been building up for a long time. Currently, Oda has established the Yonko as the most powerful pirates. Characters like Shanks and Blackbeard have firmly established their control, while Luffy and Buggy are the new additions to this elite group.
In Vampire The Masquerade Bloodlines 2, players can sprint incredibly fast, quickly crossing large areas – a useful feature since the game doesn’t have a fast-travel option. However, you can’t simply speed through the city streets without drawing attention. To take advantage of this speed and travel long distances, players will need to use rooftops and stay out of sight.
Currently, Solo Leveling is a hugely popular anime, and its first season was a major reason why. Season 1 set the stage for success, and Season 2 confirmed its status as a sensation. Many consider Solo Leveling to be one of the biggest anime series available, and it’s likely to grow even more popular with future seasons—whenever those may arrive. However, it’s competing with many other excellent shows, some of which are just as good. Fans should know that Season 3 of Solo Leveling isn’t expected to be released for quite some time.
It’s exciting to wonder which new characters will appear and what special abilities they’ll bring – maybe magic, incredible strength, or healing powers! If you enjoy games with robust party systems, like many RPGs and JRPGs, these upcoming titles are definitely worth checking out.
Determining whether a console is ‘worth it’ is always complex, and that’s even more true today than it was a few years ago. Home consoles are now seen as a treat, and while they used to feel like a big, difficult purchase, they’re now considered a regular expense. Even so, $750 is a significant amount to spend on a console, particularly if it’s just an upgraded version of something you already have.
Pokemon Legends: Z-A is set in Lumiose City, a location inspired by Paris, France, and featuring a landmark similar to the Eiffel Tower. The game doesn’t offer a completely open world, but like Pokemon Legends: Arceus, it has large, explorable zones. Players can freely wander around Lumiose City, discovering items and shops. There are also dedicated ‘Wild Zones’ with more Pokemon and natural environments, providing a contrast to the urban setting. The game boasts over 200 Pokemon to find and collect, making exploration exciting.
Many game developers have created incredibly rewarding combat experiences. These games, featuring complex systems, smooth controls, challenging bosses, and a wide range of weapons and skills, are ideal for players who prioritize satisfying and engaging battles.
Wreckreation comes out on October 28th, and I’m hoping the developers release a patch on launch day to fix some of the issues shown in a recent gameplay video by YouTuber ‘Flotutu’.
Throughout the game, the Dream Nail lets you interact with characters to learn their thoughts and battle the Dream Warriors. You’ll also find strange, tree-like growths called Whispering Roots scattered around Hallownest. Hitting these Roots with the Dream Nail releases Essence, which you can collect. They also display mysterious messages for you to solve. Collecting Essence strengthens the Dream Nail, and the Seer will reward you based on how much you’ve gathered.
