Fortnite's Chapter 7 loot pool is a blueprint for battle royale going forward: balanced, lethal, and flexible
Last month, NACON released Styx: Blades of Greed on PC. Powered by Unreal Engine 5, it’s time now to benchmark it and examine its performance on PC.

Netflix in March means many exciting things: the Peaky Blinders movie, a new four-part dinosaur documentary produced by Steven Spielberg, the entire Saw franchise (sans Spiral), the second season of the live-action One Piece, the Duffer Brothers-produced Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen. Plus, classics like Misery, Casino, The Green Knight, and Anatomy of a Fall!
Here's a rundown of every series, special, movie, and doc headed to Netflix in March...
All of a sudden Francis Ford Coppola was delivering unto us Bram Stoker's Dracula. Tom Cruise was starring in a Neil Jordan-directed Interview With the Vampire. Martin Scorsese was remaking Cape Fear and Kenneth Branagh was adapting Mary Shelley's Frankenstein - both starring Robert De Niro. Hell, even Jack Nicholson played a werewolf. Yes, before A24's "elevated horror" there was '90s "prestige horror." So do yourself a favor and check ou the truly excellent King adaptation (from back when those were few and far between), Misery.
Based on Jo Nesbø's bestselling crime novels, this new Detective Hole series follows the brilliant crimestopper as he hunts killers while fighting his own demons.
Here's a quick look at everything leaving Netflix in March, including Pulp Fiction, The Wolf of Wall Street, The Hurt Locker, Forrest Gump, Titanic, and The Talented Mr. Ripley (we recommend watching the Netflix miniseries Ripley in its absence).
The weekend is finally here, and new deals have popped up! There are quite a few solid discounts across the board, including savings on Super Mario RPG, Death Stranding 2, and Super Monkey Ball Banana Rumble. Check out our top picks for Saturday, February 28, below.
Super Mario RPG is one of the best Mario games on Nintendo Switch, as it brings back the beloved SNES classic in brilliant fashion. This adventure is a collaboration between Square Enix and Nintendo, following Mario, Bowser, Peach, and new friends on a journey to find the seven star pieces. In our 8/10 review, we wrote, "Super Mario RPG is considered a classic for a reason, and this faithful remake makes it easy for anyone who missed it in the SNES era to see why."
Death Stranding 2: On The Beach is an incredible follow-up to 2019's Death Stranding that is one of the must-play games on PS5. Sam Porter Bridges is forced to venture out to the continent of Australia as the world continues to face the challenges thrown at it by the Death Stranding, and this sequel packs together a wild, sci-fi story, ultimate gameplay freedom, and some of the best visuals we've ever seen. Grab a copy this weekend for $49.99 at Amazon.
Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze is one of the best games on the Nintendo Switch, and you can pick up a copy today for $39.88 at Walmart. If you played Donkey Kong Bananza on Switch 2 and are searching for another adventure with DK and friends, Tropical Freeze is an amazing choice.
Super Monkey Ball Banana Rumble was the brilliant return to Monkey Ball we all hoped for, bringing a wonderful adventure to Nintendo Switch. In our 8/10 review, we wrote, "Super Monkey Ball Banana Rumble is a brilliant return to form with the best stages and controls the series has seen in over 20 years."
If you're on the hunt for one of the most talked-about RPGs of 2025, look no further than Kingdom Come: Deliverance II. This hit RPG is on sale this weekend at Amazon for 50% off, so you can take home a copy for $29.99.
The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening is one of the best Zelda games on Nintendo Switch. This Presidents Day weekend, you can score a copy of the game at Walmart for $39.88.

LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight, a new take on the classic LEGO game formula, doesn't launch until May 29. Luckily, to hold over all you ravenous Batfans out there, there are a handful of new LEGO sets you can buy that not only look great on your bookshelves lined with your favorite Batman comics, but come with some pretty awesome, unique digital download codes you can use in the game. What do you get with the download code after scanning the QR code in the instructions? Well, it wouldn't be a LEGO Batman game without a ton of optional skins, and you'll get some fancy gold minifigure and Batmobile skins for your trouble.
There are four of these new sets are available starting on March 1, each of which can be purchased via Amazon or through LEGO directly.
Check out detailed breakdowns of each new set below. The three Batmobile sets each celebrate different eras of iconic Batman films (minus the Christopher Nolan/Christian Bale era, which I am personally bummed about) and will run you $29.99. Each one is a faithful recreation of their onscreen counterparts, complete with a minifigure of that Batmobile's respective Batman.
Of the four available sets with digital bonuses for the game, the Batman Logo is an intricate-looking build made up of 678 pieces that stands fairly tall. It comes with a classic black-suited Batman, as well as a special gold Batman minifigure to help celebrate the 20th anniversary of our favorite Caped Crusader in brick form. The skin you'll get in-game from this set is the gold minifigure.
The Ben Affleck Batmobile is probably the most different out of any iteration of the car we've seen over the years, but it's still a pretty cool design nonetheless. At 220 pieces, it's the smallest of the bunch, but the plated armor details and Batman v Superman minifigure it comes with make up for it. You'll get a gold version of this Batmobile with the digital download code.
I'm partial to the Robert Pattinson version from The Batman -- this Batmobile is a less exaggerated version of the car we all grew up with, and I love the all-black and off-road-like design. Redeeming the code from this set gets you a gold skin of the Pattinson's Batmobile in the game. This one is 330 pieces, the highest brick count of the three.
For you classic Batman fans, the George Clooney Batmobile from Batman & Robin is a 272-piece recreation of that film's vehicle. The red accents on the side are a nice added touch, but sadly the Batman minifigure does not include the infamous Batnipples. And like the other two sets, the digital download code nets you a gold version of this car.
If you haven't been following along with IGN Fan Fest, we've had the opportunity to get some exclusive new looks at some more LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight gameplay, where we've learned you can play as Catwoman. Both the Standard and Deluxe editions are available to preorder from all major retailers now before it launches May 29, and you can choose to reserve your copy for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, with a Nintendo Switch 2 version planned for release later on this year. By preordering any version of the game, you'll receive the Dark Knight Returns Batsuit skin.

We’ve somehow already made our way to March, which hopefully brings some spring weather, but at the very least, guarantees new releases across all your favorite streaming services. While Disney+ has a relatively light month for new additions, some major highlights coming to the service include the premiere of a new season of Daredevil: Born Again, a Hannah Montana 20th anniversary special, and a spread of new shorts.
Without further ado, here’s what’s getting added to Disney+ in March.
Disney+ is kicking off the month with a new batch of How NOT to Draw parody shorts. The streamer will also pick up the Vet Detective docu-series from National Geographic.
The Hulu original K-Drama In Your Radiant Season will continue to stream episodes on Disney+ every Monday.
American Idol kicked off its 24th overall season, which is being marketed as Season 9 under ABC, back in January. New episodes will continue to air on ABC on Monday nights and stream on Disney+ the following day.
Disney + is also picking up Beddybyes, an animated series for pre-schoolers that focuses on relaxing daily routines and getting ready for bed.
Battle of Fates, a Korean survival series that pits shamans, fortune tellers, and tarot masters against one another in a test of their supernatural abilities, will stream its final episode toward the beginning of the month.
Locker Diaries is a new Disney Channel special that features Disney characters ‘opening up their lockers’ to go on bite-sized adventures and reveal more about themselves. While the first 11 episodes are all about characters from the musical Zombies franchise, Disney promises future Locker Diaries with familiar faces from Phineas & Ferb and Descendants.
From the National Geographic side, Ghost Elephants was a 2025 documentary directed by none other than Werner Herzog. The film follows a biologist, Steve Boyes, on his pursuit of a yet undiscovered species of elephants in Angola.
Short Circuit Experimental Films are a new initiative at Disney where staff members can pitch and produce their own unique shorts. Two Short Circuit shorts will premiere on March 18: Maddie and the Test, about a young girl confronting anxiety during a school exam, and Life Drawings, the story of a man rediscovering his love of art through a series of self-portraits.
The major MCU release of the month, Daredevil: Born Again is returning for its second season on March 24. We were big fans of the first season, highlighting “masterful performances” from Charlie Cox and Vincent D’Onofrio in our review. The new season is expected to run for another 8 episodes, while teasers have already confirmed the return of Jessica Jones.
On the classic Disney side, the original Hannah Montana series is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year, and Miley Cyrus has signed on for a filmed special that will stream exclusively on Disney+. Details are slim, but we do know the special will include never-before-seen archival footage as well as an interview with Cyrus herself.
Versa is a new short film from Disney Animation Studios’ directed by Malcon Pierce, best known for his work on Moana. The short is described as a “cosmic dance of life,” and is marketed as a more “mature” turn for the animation studio.
The streamer will also get another batch of episodes from its Chibi Tiny Tales spin-off series.
Yes, another episode of American Idol. From this point on, however, new episodes will stream live on Disney+ the same night they’re broadcast on ABC.
Disney+ will premiere the new Spanish original series If it’s Tuesday.., which follows a group of Spanish tourists on what turns into a particularly eventful trip to Lisbon.
While it hasn’t necessarily been confirmed in any episode release schedules, this is also most likely when we’ll get a second episode of Daredevil.
2026 is the year that Disney has claimed will see the merging of Hulu content into the Disney+ app, where it's consistently lived internationally. Presumably as part of this transition, several Hulu Originals will be coming to U.S. Disney+ over the course of the month without firm release dates:

The pulse of Lumiose City is racing, and for good reason! Pre-orders for the Pokémon TCG: Mega Evolution - Perfect Order expansion are dropping ahead of its March 27, 2026, release. This gorgeous new set continues the Mega Evolution hype of Pokémon Legends: Z-A, bringing Mega Zygarde ex into the spotlight.
This guide collects the best deals on the market right now for Pokémon Perfect Order boosters and ETBs, including line-ups, predicted chase cards, and what to expect from this latest collection.
We’ll be regularly updating this page with confirmed deals, so bookmark this page, keep checking back in, and follow @IGNDeals for the latest updates.
As the third main expansion of cards from the Mega Evolution Series of the Pokémon Trading Card Game, this set has over 120 cards. There’s plenty to get your hands on, because let’s be real, we’re not just buying one.
Perfect Order will introduce new mechanics, four Mega Evolution Pokémon ex; nine Pokémon ex; 11 illustration rare Pokémon; 18 ultra rare Pokémon and Trainer cards; and six special illustration rare Pokémon and Supporter cards.Look out for Mega Zygarde ex, Mega Clefable ex, Mega Starmie ex, and the newly revealed Mega Skarmory ex!
Seemingly confirmed via Japanese set lists (M3), which historically dictate about 90% of what we see in our English releases, it will also introduce Telepath Psychic Energy, which provides psychic energy as long as this card is attached to a Pokémon. Neat!
While preordering ensures you get what you want, there’s no saying what the market will do in the weeks following release. Here are the most reliable sources right now, but we’re still waiting for a few preorders to drop.
TCGplayer
TCGPlayer is a reliable third-party retailer that has all Perfect Order options available for preorder. This is your best option for securing everything at the moment, but only if you're ultimately comfortable with paying over MSRP.
Albeit, compared to previous expansions, Perfect Order's market price isn't that far over standard pricing. For example, a booster box set is running for around $200 right now, about $40 more than Best Buy is selling it for at MSRP.
It's a similar story for the Elite Trainer Boxes, listed at around $100 market price, which is $50 more than MSRP. But, that's already $20 less than the recently released Ascended Heroes, and far better than the average $150-$200 we see more regularly. Hopefully Perfect Order follows the same trend as Phantasmal Flames and drops below $100 soon.
Walmart
Walmart will likely have Perfect Order preorders between now and release day on March 27. To be in the best chance to securing anything at MSRP, you'll need to be a paid Walmart+ member to early access to the drops. No free trial option here, you'll need to be paying for your membership to be in the race.
Pokémon Center US
The classic, and always the first to sell out. You’ll get the absolute best price (MSRP) and the exclusive Pokémon Center ETB, which has two copies of a full-art foil promo card featuring Tyrunt (one with a Pokémon Center logo).
Keep an eye out for restocks as March approaches.
Best Buy
Best Buy often has "Coming Soon" listings, and launches pre-orders closer to release than other retailers. Pre-orders haven’t gone live here yet, so keep checking back.
Remember - it also offers "Pick up in-store" options, which are always popular. If you want to risk it, keep your local Best Buy in mind for release day.
Amazon
Perfect Order is an English curated localization of the Japanese Nihil Zero expansion. Amazon US currently has no listing for Perfect Order. But, we usually see the online retailer begin to stock new sets after release, so keep an eye out through to March 27.
Predicted Chase Cards
We can look at the SAR pull rates from the Japanese Nihil Zero expansion and secondary market prices in Japan to predict chase cards for the US market.
Unsurprisingly, the new Mega Ultra Rare Mega Zygarde ex (card #117/080 in the Japanese set) fetches a pretty penny on Japanese marketplace PokeninJapan thanks to its "Nullifying Zero" attack mechanic. {115/080} Rosa's Encouragement is also trending high.
As the March 27 2026 release draws ever-closer, we’re sure to see more pre-orders dropping. Keep checking back for more information!
