Okay, so Pokemon just announced when we’re finally going to get the full scoop on the 30th Anniversary set! Mark your calendars for June 1st at 6 AM Pacific Time – that’s when they’re showing off all the new cards. From what I’ve heard, every card in the set is going to be shiny holo, which is awesome! And get this – every pack is supposed to have six cards, and a Pikachu! They’re saying there will be 30 different Pikachu cards to collect, which is insane. The set drops in Japan on September 16th, and we should see it worldwide pretty quickly after that, around September 18th. I’m already planning my pulls!

In TBH: Task Bar Hero, you can increase the number of Hero Slots you have by unlocking upgrades in the Runes tree. This tree becomes available once one of your Heroes reaches Level 3. To find the upgrades that add Hero Slots, start at the first Rune and navigate downwards.

Xbox Game Pass subscribers recently lost access to five games: Galacticare, Go Mecha Ball, Kulebra and the Souls of Limbo, PAW Patrol Rescue Wheels: Championship, and Planet of Lana. While those removals were disappointing, the games leaving on May 31st are expected to be an even bigger loss for subscribers.

This year’s Comic-Con will feature two exclusive G.I. JOE figure sets. They’re designed to appeal to both dedicated fans and those who enjoy a nostalgic trip down memory lane. That’s what makes Comic-Con exclusives so great – they celebrate a franchise’s history and offer surprises for longtime followers.

While Anderson’s Resident Evil films were financially successful, they often felt disconnected from the source material, particularly because they centered around a new character, Alice. Even when familiar faces like Jill Valentine and Carlos Olivera appeared in later movies, that disconnect remained. Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City was a more accurate adaptation, but still didn’t quite capture the terrifying feeling of the games. Fortunately, the upcoming reboot directed by Cregger appears to be a much better fit for fans of the Resident Evil series.

Currently, Final Fantasy 6 and Jurassic World Dominion are the first games coming to Microsoft’s subscription service next month. Both are scheduled for release on June 2nd, and were originally announced as part of the May 2026 Xbox Game Pass lineup. Solarpunk and Shift at Midnight have also been confirmed to join them, though only Solarpunk is guaranteed to be included in the initial June 2026 release plan.

Secret Lair drops weren’t new – they’d been around for almost a year. However, this was the first time they featured characters from outside the Magic universe on actual Magic cards – this was the first “Universes Beyond” release.

Over the past 30 years, the number of collectible Pokémon has expanded from the initial 151 to more than 1,000. Traditionally, the main Pokémon video games haven’t used voice acting, instead relying on text. This means players have to figure out how to pronounce the Pokémon names based on puns or words from other languages. Because there’s no official pronunciation guide within the games, fans often mispronounce names, stressing the wrong syllables.

Fans have learned quite a bit about the Ancient Weapons thanks to recent events in the story. Over the years, Eiichiro Oda has also given clues about where they might be found. Although many mysteries remain, the truth about these powerful weapons is gradually being revealed with each new story arc.

In 2026, most big games are available on the PS5, with only a few exceptions. Several PS5 exclusives, like Nioh 3, have also received excellent reviews. Saros, a game only available on PS5, is currently a top 10 title of the year with a score of 87. While this list is sure to change as more games come out, another highly-rated game has now been confirmed to be launching on PS5.
