This week, Sony announced it intends to sue Tencent for allegedly copying its copyrighted work, “Light of Motiram,” claiming it is a near-identical version of the “Horizon” series. Sony is demanding up to $150,000 in damages per infringement, citing similarities between the robots in “Light of Motiram” and those in “Horizon,” as well as a striking resemblance between the main character in “Light of Motiram” and Aloy from “Horizon.” If successful, the release of “Light of Motiram” may be halted, and Tencent could be forced to destroy all promotional materials related to it.

As a die-hard fan, I can’t help but reminisce about “Resident Evil” or “Biohazard,” as it’s affectionately known in Japan. This survival horror masterpiece from Capcom shook the horror genre all the way back in 1996, and since then, it has grown into a vast universe encompassing television series, comics, novels, and audiobooks.

The latest addition to this expansive world is the multiplayer strategy game, “Resident Evil Survival Unit,” set to feature some of our beloved franchise characters. And here’s something that has us all buzzing – “Resident Evil Requiem” was announced during Summer Game Fest and is scheduled for release next year, coinciding with Cregger’s reboot movie.

The latest expansion for the Pokemon TCG Pocket, titled Wisdom of Sea and Sky, draws inspiration from the Johto region and its Pokemon, as seen in Pokemon Gold and Silver games. This name could be a nod to Ho-Oh and Lugia, the legendary Pokemon from Generation 2. Moreover, this expansion might serve as a precursor for the upcoming Pokemon games and their rumored setting. However, it may take some time before any rumors, leaks, or speculation are verified, since the focus is currently on the launch of Legends: Z-A in October of this year.

To achieve their goal, the Straw Hat pirates must rise to become the most formidable pirate crew ever recorded in the annals of One Piece, surpassing even legendary crews like the Roger Pirates, Rocks Pirates, and Joyboy’s crew who couldn’t overthrow the World Government. Despite this daunting challenge, the Straw Hats are uniquely positioned to achieve this feat. Among them, Luffy’s trusted companion Vinsmoke Sanji may hold the crucial role in their success, so let’s explore why that might be.

The second installment of “Warhammer 40k: Space Marine,” launched not long ago, has been a resounding success, garnering much praise since it hit the shelves. Despite some criticism regarding specific updates, the game maintains a predominantly positive rating on Steam. By June, global sales exceeded seven million copies, underscoring both the game’s popularity and players’ enjoyment of the sequel. Although Saber Interactive has already hinted at “Space Marine 3,” they have remained dedicated to refining and enhancing the current version.

Originally launched for the Wii in Japan (2010) and North America (2012), the initial Xenoblade Chronicles gained significant influence within Nintendo’s RPG library, combining sci-fi and fantasy elements within an expansive open world using a real-time action combat system. Two subsequent installments, Xenoblade Chronicles 2 (released in 2017 for the Nintendo Switch) and Xenoblad Chronicles 3 (launched in 2022), followed suit. With the arrival of the Switch 2, devotees of the series are anxiously awaiting updates on its future, and a recent speculation hints that we might not just be dreaming about Xenoblade Chronicles 4.

Initially, the title “Spider-Man 4” left Marvel enthusiasts perplexed, as it was supposedly a sequel to the Sam Raimi trilogy from the early 2000s featuring Tobey Maguire as Spider-Man. There were whispers that production on this film was underway, making it the fourth installment in the series. However, what was actually announced was “Brand New Day“, a new chapter following Tom Holland’s three live-action Marvel Cinematic Universe films post the emotional events of “No Way Home“. Holland will reprise his role as Peter Parker to continue his character’s growth story, with Zendaya and Jacob Batalon set to return as MJ and Ned respectively. Additionally, it was confirmed that Jon Bernthal’s Frank Castle, aka The Punisher, would be appearing in “Spider-Man 4“. Nevertheless, some fans are concerned that the film’s lower rating might dilute The Punisher’s signature R-rated violence.

As a dedicated fan, I can share that the latest Nintendo console is essentially an enhanced version of its predecessor, running on the same system software. Officially known as the Nintendo Switch System Software and nicknamed Horizon, this operating system has gone through multiple updates since the launch of the Switch 2 on June 5.

In the third film of the Avatar series, viewers will once again visit Pandora, where Sully’s family finds themselves in a new peril as they cross paths with the hostile Ash Clan, ruled by Varang, a formidable character who, unlike others, appears immune to fire. The cast for Avatar: Fire and Ash includes Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldaña, Sigourney Weaver, Kate Winslet, David Thewlis, Jemaine Clement, Cliff Curtis, and Stephen Lang in a movie that could be one of the most spectacular films of the year. Interestingly, fans who have seen the trailer have noticed a resemblance between Varang and a queen from George R.R. Martin’s Game of Thrones.
