One Piece Reveals New Elbaph Arc Merch Coming This August

After the Egghead Arc finished, it was announced that the One Piece anime would pause from January to March 2026. When it returns in April, it will switch to a new schedule where only 26 episodes air each year, split into two parts. This is a big change for the show, which has been airing continuously since its debut in October 1999. Currently, the Elbaph Arc is being animated, focusing on the Straw Hat Pirates and the Giant Warrior Pirates as they reach Elbaph, while the World Government, through the Holy Knights of God, plans to take over the country.

007 First Light Criticized as ‘Woke’

With 007 First Light, James Bond is back in video games after a long absence. Developed by the creators of Hitman, this is the first major Bond game in over ten years, following 2012’s 007 Legends. First Light tells a brand new, original story featuring a young James Bond before he became the famous 00 agent, separate from the existing books and films. While many are excited, some fans have expressed concerns about this new take on the character.

Unreal Engine 6 Needs to Be the Moment AAA Studios Stop Chasing Photorealism and Start Prioritizing Systemic Evolution

Unreal Engine 5 is now the go-to choice for many game developers, though it took a while to gain widespread adoption. Launched fully in 2022, it’s likely several years away from the release of Unreal Engine 6. While we’ll probably have to wait a long time, the announcement of Unreal Engine 6 is exciting. The new engine could focus even more on realistic graphics, but I’m hoping it explores other possibilities instead.

It’s Official: The Steam Deck Just Got More Expensive

The Steam Deck, released in 2022, quickly became a popular way for people to play their Steam games on the go.

When it first launched, the Steam Deck was available in both LCD and OLED versions, but Valve stopped making the LCD model in late 2025.

Bungie Kept Its Own Staff in the Dark as Destiny 2 Met Its End

Very few people knew about the news in advance – mainly the teams working on the final update and those transferred to the ‘Marathon’ project. These individuals apparently urged leaders to share the information with more of the studio, but it wasn’t done before the public announcement.

Bitcoin Stalls at $75K as ETF Demand Cools: What’s the Drama, Darling?

BTC was trading around $74,834 at time of writing, after a rather undignified 2.02% slide over the past 24 hours, with its little daily dance ranging between $74,708 and $76,140. Per crypto.news data, the market has lost a fair bit of the support it enjoyed earlier this year from those very same institutional buyers who now seem to be treating their BTC holdings like a regrettable fling with a chorus girl. Traders are now fixated on whether $74,662 can hold as short-term support; a daily break below that, of course, could send BTC tumbling all the way down to $73,000. Quelle horreur.
