Games

The best open-world games truly immerse us, letting us either become the character or completely break free and do whatever we want, offering a welcome escape from reality. These games usually feature compelling stories and characters that take at least four hours to fully experience on a first playthrough. While realistic stories are good, sometimes we crave a game that lets us be a real troublemaker. And when those games come along, they’re incredibly hard to put down.

You can sell Platinum for 380 Silver Coins, making it a good item to trade with characters in the game. It’s also used in recipes to create strong weapons and items. We’ll show you where to find Platinum and the materials needed to craft it.

Gamers are the ones who truly benefit, with so many exciting new games coming out offering hours – even over a hundred – of gameplay. Whatever you enjoy, several games slated for release later in 2026 look incredibly promising and could be instant classics, assuming they launch smoothly. Here’s a look at the most anticipated upcoming games for the rest of the year – and some might even be contenders for Game of the Year awards.

The launch of the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S was hampered by major supply chain problems caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. What should have been an exciting new era for gaming turned into a two-year challenge for both companies and players, as consoles were difficult to find. By 2023, these issues had largely been resolved, but it took years for the consoles to reach their full potential. With talk of the PS6 and the next Xbox already surfacing, many gamers believe it’s too early to introduce a new generation. However, Sony and Microsoft need to act quickly to maximize sales before the current consoles feel old.

One Piece has fewer than 20 Logia-type Devil Fruits, and that’s largely intentional by the author, Oda. Now that the story is in its final arc, it’s unlikely many more will appear, meaning the odds of seeing new Logia fruits are slim.

If you haven’t encountered the Rooks in Marathon, they’re unique shells for solo players. They let you drop into a game already in progress and grab loot from bags that other players have partially emptied. These stealthy characters can quickly enter, collect a good amount of items, and leave, and they can become incredibly powerful with upgrades earned through the skill tree. A skilled Rook can even defeat a full team, risking only their time by joining a game that’s already underway. Because Rooks are usually at a disadvantage, they need to be cunning to survive, which makes them either incredibly popular or intensely frustrating for other players. I wasn’t sure how I felt about them myself… until a particular event turned me into someone who actively hunts Rooks, driven by a desire for payback.

Recently, Sanji accomplished something incredible: he defeated a Holy Knight, a feat very few have managed. He did this purely through his own strength and skill. During the battle in the Elbaf Arc, Sanji moved so quickly that Killingham, the Holy Knight, couldn’t defend himself. Sanji defeated him with a single, powerful blow, completely destroying him and demonstrating that Holy Knights vary greatly in power.

In a recent TopMob interview, BenDavid Grabinski, a creative consultant on Scott Pilgrim EX and Scott Pilgrim Takes Off, revealed the surprising origin of the game. He explained it started as a personal project fueled by his love for Scott Pilgrim. The whole thing began when he accidentally consumed something that kept him awake all night, allowing him to finish the original game in a single playthrough – and sparking the idea for the new adaptation.

Microsoft hasn’t fully revealed the next Xbox yet, but they’ve started giving hints about it. The new CEO, Asha Sharma, has promised the console will be the most powerful on the market and will let players enjoy both Xbox and PC games.

To build excitement, Microsoft is now sending out special merchandise to promote the new console.
