2026 is shaping up to be a great year for anime fans, with exciting new series like Witch Hat Atelier and Akane Banashi arriving soon. Another highly anticipated show, Jaadugar: A Witch in Mongolia, is also planned for release later in the summer.
The Skypiea arc of One Piece truly shines with its rich history and detailed world-building, especially when compared to the more action-packed Marineford arc. It’s one of the most lore-filled parts of the series, and its backstory has a significant impact on what’s happening in the story now. Ultimately, One Piece is about grand adventures, and Skypiea perfectly captures that spirit.
The new Nintendo Switch 2 will not only have its own exclusive games, but it will also work with almost all games made for the original Nintendo Switch. A system update in March 2026 added a feature called Handheld Boost Mode. When enabled, this mode allows older Switch games to display in 1080p resolution while playing in handheld mode – a noticeable improvement over the original Switch’s 720p resolution. While using Handheld Boost Mode does use more battery power, games like Pokemon Legends: Arceus and Metroid Prime Remastered have been shown to perform better with it.
You can get the Fated Shadow sword by completing the Nest of Valor. This area unlocks after finishing the Main Quest “Unwavering Steps” in Chapter 9. We’ll cover everything you need to know about the sword, including what makes it so powerful and enjoyable to use.
The game Requiem brings Leon back to Raccoon City, and seeing him return to the police department after so many years is incredibly impactful. While Requiem expertly revisits familiar ground from previous Resident Evil games, it’s more than just nostalgia. It’s already considered one of the best games of 2026, and the incredibly detailed references to the series’ lore make the experience even better. Some of these hidden references are so clever that players have gone to great lengths – even manipulating the game itself – to uncover them.
The Saiyans have become the strongest fighters and protectors of the universe in the Dragon Ball series. They consistently stand out in epic battles, so let’s highlight each Saiyan’s most impressive moment.
A great benefit of playing as Damiane (and Oongka) is that any improvements you make to their Health, Spirit, and Stamina using Abyss Artifacts will be permanent. You also won’t need to unlock Damiane’s Quick Swap skill, as it’s already available through her Armed Combat training.
It’s been about a week since the release of this open-world action-adventure game, and player reviews on Steam are overwhelmingly positive – over 80% are favorable. Remarkably, it quickly jumped from a ‘Mostly Positive’ rating to ‘Very Positive’ in just a few days, which is unusual for games on Steam. Typically, games that start with lower ratings take much longer to improve after launch. However, there’s good reason why Crimson Desert is getting such positive feedback, and signs suggest it will continue to improve in the weeks ahead.
Behold, the spot price of gold ascends to $4,550-$4,600, a 1.7% resurrection from last week’s dramatic plunge. Buyers, those eternal optimists, emerge like spring flowers after a frost, lured by the siren call of oversold levels. Analysts, ever the poets of charts, declare, “Short-term demand has bloomed in the exhaustion zone,” as if the market were a garden tended by fickle gods.
It’s been nearly six years since the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S were released, and people are starting to wonder when the next consoles will come out. Historically, console generations last between four and seven years, leading many to predict new systems in 2027. While that timing usually wouldn’t be a concern, I believe that seven years is too soon to release new PlayStation and Xbox consoles.
