In December 2022, Bandai Namco teamed up with Amazon Games to bring “Blue Protocol” to the Western regions. However, unfortunately, Bandai Namco closed down the game in January 2025, before their plans could come to fruition. With the closure already set in stone, SBNT (Shanghai Baokela Network Technology) declared in December 2024 that they were reviving the IP under the title “Blue Protocol: Star Resonance”. This new game takes place in the same world as the original but introduces a fresh set of characters and an entirely new narrative. Similar to the canceled MMO it follows, “Star Resonance” was intended for a global release.

Even now, Cyberpunk 2077 doesn’t have an official New Game Plus mode, surprisingly, given that it was launched in 2020 and has experienced a significant expansion. CD Projekt Red has been refining Cyberpunk 2077, but numerous gamers are still anticipating the chance to re-explore Night City with their final character builds unaltered.

In simpler terms, some managers can be quite challenging and lengthy to handle, causing many players to prefer avoiding such extended boss fights. However, these tough battles will undeniably make an impact on the players as they push themselves to their limits to emerge victorious.

In a nutshell, “Abiotic Factor” is an open-world survival and crafting game that unfolds within a top-secret research complex hidden beneath the earth. Drawing inspiration from Valve’s famous game, “Half-Life,” it allows up to six players to assume roles as scientists who find themselves trapped in this lab when otherworldly creatures and artifacts burst through portals connecting the facility to different dimensions. These scientists must then create weapons and traps to defend against these monstrous invaders while constructing bases, gathering resources, and delving deeper into the labyrinthine underground research facilities.

Ever since I’ve been deep into the world of crossovers with Overwatch 2, it hasn’t held back on introducing fresh skins inspired by famous movies, shows, and anime. From the get-go, we’ve seen anime collaborations like Cowboy Bebop and My Hero Academia gracing our in-game characters. Not only that, but Blizzard has been reaching into their own intellectual property vaults to create Overwatch 2 crossovers featuring games such as Diablo and World of Warcraft. Recent rumors hint at even more grandiose collaboration plans they might have up their sleeves.

As an observer, I find myself reflecting on the significant impact last year’s passing of Dragon Ball series creator, Akira Toriyama, had on the community. Currently, the manga for Dragon Ball Super is temporarily halted, with no signs of resuming production any time soon.

Since Shining Revelry, shiny cards have been a standard feature in each set. However, these shiny cards following Shining Revelry are essentially reprints, with the only difference being the artwork on the card featuring the corresponding shiny Pokémon. The card itself doesn’t offer any unique mechanical properties. It’s uncertain if this trend will continue with Pokemon TCG Pocket’s Wisdom of Sea and Sky, but the shiny card showcased in the trailer, which is dedicated to the legendary “Red Gyarados,” may stir up some challenges due to its iconic status.

Despite my unwavering devotion to the series, I echo the same grievances as seasoned gamers. The concept of skill-based matchmaking is exasperating, cross-generation releases seem underwhelming, and the transformation of every mode into Warzone-like feels exhausting. These problems, along with others such as cheating, an overload of quirky cosmetics, and more, have been debated extensively.

However, there’s another aspect of contemporary Call of Duty that, while reasonable given the current industry landscape, leaves me drained: battle passes and in-game store. To be honest, I’m so fatigued by this progression system that I find myself yearning for loot boxes to make a comeback (but please remember, I’m not suggesting we bring back all aspects of them).
