The Initiative, a studio owned by Xbox Game Studios, first announced a reboot of the game Perfect Dark at The Game Awards in December 2020. However, after five years, Microsoft decided to cancel the project and close the studio in Santa Monica as part of broader cost reductions. The exact number of employees affected by the closure is unknown, though the studio had around 50 people in 2021 and likely grew after starting work on the now-cancelled game.

Last year, the developer of *Stardew Valley*, ConcernedApe, released the major 1.6 update with lots of new features. Many people thought he would then focus on his next game, *Haunted Chocolatier*, after such a big addition to *Stardew Valley*. However, it looks like he’s continuing to work on *Stardew Valley*, with update 1.7 planned for release. While it might not happen, a likely release date is becoming clear.

Good news for fans of *My Hero Academia*! It looks like a new series, *Ichi the Witch*, recommended by creator Kohei Horikoshi, could be a spiritual successor to the beloved manga. Plus, Horikoshi is also working on his own brand new manga that might continue the themes and spirit of *My Hero Academia*.

Players are really looking forward to the upcoming 1.7 update for *Stardew Valley* because updates with this level of detail usually only happen when major new features are added. Although the developers haven’t revealed much about what’s included in update 1.7, past updates have lived up to player expectations. Many fans believe a ‘Warp Totem’ for the Community Center – something that hasn’t been added yet – would be a great addition, and could be included in what might be the game’s last major update.

Currently, Solo Leveling is a hugely popular anime, and fans will agree it’s been making waves for the past year. While the story is well-written, the series’ success really comes down to its incredible action sequences and the incredibly powerful main character, Sung Jinwoo. Everyone knows Jinwoo is exceptionally strong and his ability to constantly grow in power is amazing. However, despite his strength, he’s not invincible, and many other anime characters could potentially defeat him.

Clawmaidens are unsettling enemies in *Hollow Knight: Silksong* described in the game’s story as being controlled by the Citadel. Players will first encounter them around the halfway point, specifically after beginning Act 2. While they aren’t the only enemies that hit hard and can take a lot of damage, they’re especially frustrating because they can steal Hornet’s Silk and use it against her with a powerful Silk Spear attack.

The *Borderlands* games haven’t traditionally been popular for player-created modifications, or ‘mods.’ While *Borderlands 3* did have some interesting mods released over several years, players shouldn’t anticipate a large number of them right away in the new game. It’s harder to create mods without official tools, so it’s impressive that any exist at all. Hopefully, we’ll see some cool *Borderlands 4* mods in the future, and fans are already beginning to make them.

Palworld already offers players a lot to do – dozens of hours of gameplay! However, the game is still in early access, meaning it’s not fully finished. Pocketpair recently announced that the complete 1.0 version will launch on all platforms in 2026. While there will be some new content added later this year, major updates will be limited before the full release. This makes sense, but with the likely release of the next generation of Pokémon games in 2026 as well, this approach could potentially hurt Palworld’s success.
