Death Stranding fans, it seems like you’ve got something really killer coming your way. The sequel game, Death Stranding 2: On The Beach, is set to arrive in June and the franchise’s star, actor Norman Reedus, recently teased some of the game — as well as a key tidbit about the future film adaptation — in an interview with IGN.

“If it was an option, yeah, for sure,” Reedus revealed when asked if he would consider playing himself in a future film version of the game which was announced to be in the works from Michael Sarnoski and A24 last month. “I don’t know what’s happening with it. It’s so pre pre pre right now. But yeah, of course.”

We also asked Reedus about his confusion with the first game and if he still felt that way going into the second one, but it seems he deeply trusts creator Hideo Kojima, whose reputation obviously precedes him. “As far as working with him and understanding where his head’s at, I don’t think anybody can understand where his head’s at,” the Walking Dead alum explained. “He’s just that guy, he’s out there and he’s got great ideas. But story-wise, I did know what was happening more. There’s more action in it, there’s more of a definite goal to get to.”

That said, no matter what’s going on in the Death Stranding world, Reedus is happily along for the ride. “It’s always a trip working on those things,” he told IGN. “It’s great, but it’s wild.”

Death Stranding 2: On The Beach will be released on June 26, 2025.

Back at the start of April, Nintendo Switch 2 fans noticed mention of variable refresh rate, or VRR, on informational pages about the system that soon disappeared. Now, the company is clarifying just how and where VRR is working on the Nintendo Switch 2.

In a statement to NintendoLife, Nintendo says the original information about VRR published on the site was incorrect: "Nintendo Switch 2 supports VRR in handheld mode only. The incorrect information was initially published on the Nintendo Switch 2 website, and we apologise for the error."

In response to VRR support for docked mode coming in a future firmware update, NIntendo said it has "nothing to announce on this topic."

So while the Switch 2 will support VRR as an option for the handheld side of things, it looks like right now, those using their new console on the TV won't see the same features.

The update arrives after a lot of head-scratching, as the original VRR mention was first noticed and then swiftly erased. Mentions of it disappeared gradually from different sites over time, as catalogued by Digital Foundry contributor Oliver Mackenzie.

While this might disappoint those hoping for variable refresh rate on the Switch 2's TV settings at launch, it might not mean all hope is lost. Sony issued an update rolling VRR support out to PS5 consoles post-launch, so it stands to reason we could see something similar happen here.

In other Switch 2 news, Nintendo just dropped a list of games that are getting free performance upgrades on the Switch 2, ranging from Pokémon Scarlet & Violet to Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury. Nintendo of America boss Doug Bowser also insists the company will have enough Switch 2 units to meet demand "through the holidays."

If you're in the process of building out a new gaming PC and you're looking for the best gaming processor, this is it. Right now, the recently released AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D AM5 desktop processor is back in stock on Amazon at its retail price of $489 shipped. The AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D is the best gaming processor currently on the market (across both AMD and Intel) and a better choice for gamers than the more expensive Intel Core Ultra 9 285K.

It might be a smart move to gear up ahead of the launch of the Nintendo Switch 2, and it’s an easy bet when it comes to finding the right headset – for one, we’re extremely sure accessories such as headsets are going to be forward compatible. And two, we already know which headsets are among the best across all price ranges. If you don’t already have one lined up to use on your Switch 2 or if you’re looking to upgrade from the set you were using with your first Switch, I have my top recommendations for headsets here, all of which I’ve had firsthand experience with and/or have reviewed here on IGN myself.

Similar to my best PS5 headsets and best Xbox headsets guides, there are a few nuances I took into consideration when making my selections for this specific platform. One of which is portability; for example, I’m hesitant to suggest getting the SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro even though it has consistently topped our lists – one of its biggest features is its mixamp/DAC, which connects the headset to your systems, and that gets unwieldy for a device that’s about versatility and taking on the go. I’m also accounting for the fact that you only have access to USB-C ports when playing handheld, so all of the wireless headsets recommended here come with a native USB-C dongle to make connectivity easy. Above all else, I prioritize sound quality and comfort in my choices because if those factors aren’t the focus, what would we even be doing here!

TL;DR – These Are The Best Nintendo Switch 2 Headsets:

The Switch 2 does have Bluetooth capabilities, but I wouldn’t recommend that for gaming scenarios due to the inherent audio delay. While the wireless headsets here can connect via Bluetooth, my recommendations run primarily on a 2.4GHz wireless connection, and there are a few picks with a 3.5mm wired aux connection, too. Regardless of which you go with, you’ll be getting a great headset for the money – I can vouch for each pick, and if you need a little extra convincing, I have all the details you need to know below.

As pre-orders sell out and tons of references are revealed, Magic: The Gathering's upcoming crossover with Final Fantasy is shaping up to be its biggest ever. Today, we get to add to that fun with six cards that are available in the upcoming set: three featuring classic concept art by Yoshitaka Amano, and three with more recent art by Toshitaka Matsuda.

Flip through the gallery below to see all six cards, and read on to learn where to find them yourself:

The cards we are revealing today are part of the "Through the Ages" bonus sheet that is within the larger main set. That means they are all reprints of existing cards reskinned with concept art and characters from different Final Fantasy games - so while there are no brand new or mechanically unique cards here like the ones that have been shown off recently or those in the Commander decks we previously revealed, they do have art that stretches back all the way to the very first game in the series.

Unlike the cards in the main set, Through the Ages cards do not become legal in Magic's Standard format (though they still are if the existing card was already legal there, of course), essentially just making them alternate art versions of those cards. That said, they can be found in both the fancier Collector Boosters as well as one in every three of the regular Play Boosters that are used for Limited events like Draft and Sealed.

That means if you plan to play a lot of this set either at your local game store or digitally on something like Magic: The Gathering Arena, you are likely to see these cards in action quite frequently. Five of the six cards here are Rares, which means they won't show up as often, but Thrum of the Vestige is notably an Uncommon. That's a reskin for one of Magic's most ubiquitous cards, Lightning Bolt, and I wouldn't be surprised if this particular printing has quite the impact on the set.

The Warrior of Light reprinting of Jodah, the Unifier is also certain to be a popular one - Jodah is a powerful and common Commander, and the art used here is Amano's from the Japanese boxart of the original Final Fantasy. Similarly, Amano's iconic art for Final Fantasy 4's Cecil Harvey has been repurposed for one of Magic's strongest partner commanders, Tymna the Weaver, which has only ever been reprinted once before this.

These cards launch physically as part of the larger Final Fantasy set on June 13, with the digital versions going live on MTG Arena and MTGO on June 10. And if you are a Final Fantasy fan who isn't into Magic yet, there is still reason to be excited, as FF7 Remake series director Tetsuya Nomura said the design of Sephiroth on one card is different for some cryptic reason.

LEGO Ideas is an absolute treasure trove of potential. These fan-submitted builds gain traction in the community and sometimes become actual sets. LEGO Ideas have become the source of some of the most popular builds, like the new LEGO Pixar Lamp set that will be arriving in June. Not all popular ideas get turned into sets, but the most recent build to reach 10,000 supporters certainly seems like it has potential.

The iconic "This is fine" meme created by web comic artist KC Green has been turned into a potential LEGO set and has reached the second 2025 review stage. You can get a good look at what the set would look like below.

LEGO Ideas This Is Fine Set

Although it may not look like it, this set is actually made from a total of 1,016 LEGO bricks. It's a book nook style display that is meant to sit upon your shelf among your books or other LEGO creations. It isn't often that we see memes as LEGO sets, but the creator of this build (eat.sleep.build.repeat) has high hopes for this particular creation. Here's a snippet of what they said about this build in their product idea submission:

"I believe memes have been quite overlooked by Lego while still being a massive part of the internet and internet culture. The set itself also includes great potential, in its style. It could be used as a piggy bank, book nook or other display options, being a great option for both meme and lego enthusiasts alike."

Will This Set Become a Real Thing?

Unfortunately, even some of the best LEGO Ideas do not turned into a real set. That being said, it is definitly possible. Now that it has reached 10,000 supporters, it has entered the review stage, which is a lengthier process that requires various considerations. One of the biggest hurdles for any idea is whether or not LEGO can secure the rights to the IP. In this case, it does seem a bit more likely due to it not being from a major franchise, but it depends on whether or not LEGO wants to move forward with the set and if the creator of the original comic alllows it to happen.

There are a ton of other really cool LEGO Ideas that are currently sitting in the review phase that are just as likely to move forward to production. This list includes a Monsters, Inc. - Boo's Door Set, Planet Express Headuarters, and even your old pal Clippy from Microsoft Office.

AI Darth Vader has been out in Fortnite for roughly an hour, and already people have managed to get the Dark Lord of the Sith to swear.

Fortnite's new AI buddy has a death grip on all manner of cool and strange features, including the ability to serenade you, join and leave squads at will, respond intelligently to the player, issue cued and impromptu dialogue, summarize gameplay events, and warn the player if something's about to go down.

Within an hour of the feature going live, however, Fortnite players have popped up all over social media sharing reports and videos of Vader being manipulated into saying the kind of things very much associated with the Dark Side.

If I told you that Hurry Up Tomorrow, the latest onscreen vanity project co-written by and starring Abel Tesfaye, opens with the Canadian singer-songwriter-sometime-actor blowing raspberries at his own reflection in a dressing room mirror for a solid minute, would you believe me? As far as first images go, it's a pretty apt summation of the experience as a whole. Your reaction to it is a fairly solid indication of whether you’ll be onboard for what little Hurry Up Tomorrow has to offer, your thoughts on the music Tesfaye has made (and the public persona he’s cultivated) as The Weeknd notwithstanding.

Named after Tesfaye’s latest studio album and directed by It Comes at Night’s Trey Edward Shults, the navel-gazing and over-indulgent Hurry Up Tomorrow centers around a fictionalized account of the days preceding and following an incident in 2022, in which Tesfaye lost his voice while performing on stage in Los Angeles. It cuts back and forth between the “Can’t Feel My Face” singer (as himself) preparing for a series of performances with his entourage in tow – including Lee (Barry Keough), his manager and confidant – and Anima (Jenna Ortega), a mysterious woman who is drawn to Tesfaye, and whose name may or may not be an overt nod to the Jungian psychological concept of the same name.

It is, at the risk of sounding glib, the role Tesfaye was born to play: The Basquiat-haired Lothario of modern R&B and pop, whose brooding demeanor and crooning falsetto catapulted him from the depths of anonymity to the heights of mainstream superstardom. The register of the performance has shifted over time, but its baseline remains static, even as he drops the stage name and steps into Hurry Up Tomorrow’s big-screen spotlight. For an excruciating hour and 45 minutes, the wounded, misunderstood, self-destructive, sullen-hearted bad boy of Tesfaye’s multiple chart-toppers is front and center.

He cries; he whines; he dejectedly slumps on the floor while madly pouring his heart out to an answering machine, begging and pleading for recognition and reconciliation with an unnamed, unseen lover. If you’ve listened to a single album by the Weeknd – or hell, a single song – you get the gist. All the while, Lee hovers at the periphery like an impish, all-seeing Jiminy Cricket, gyrating wildly on the floor and doling out lines of cocaine like it's both on clearance and going out of style.

A Nintendo Switch 2 port of Red Dead Redemption 2 could be out by the end of 2025, and there are reports of a next-gen upgrade for PS5 and Xbox Series X and S.

That's according to GameReactor, which reports sources "close to Rockstar" have said a Switch 2 version of Rockstar's Wild West romp is on the way, along with a "next-gen upgrade patch" that will also improve the game for current-gen systems (PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X and S).

Though details are sketchy, GameReactor's sources assert the port and the upgrade patch could be out as early as later this year.

It echoes similar claims made by Nintenduo, which reports the Switch 2 version of Red Dead Redemption 2 should be released in Take-Two's current financial year, which ends March 31, 2026. It's unclear if the port will release digitally-only or be sold as a physical edition, too.

We considered Red Dead Redemption 2 a "masterpiece" when it released in 2018, awarding it a 10/10. IGN's Red Dead Redemption 2 review said: "Red Dead Redemption 2 is a game of rare quality; a meticulously polished open-world ode to the outlaw era."

Perhaps red Dead Redemption 2 coming to Switch 2 wouldn't come as a huge surprise. In a Q&A with investors following Take-Two's most recent financial results, CEO Strauss Zelnick answered a question about the publisher's support of the Switch 2 by saying he felt "great optimism" for Nintendo's new platform. In fact, he said Nintendo's support of third-party publishers this time around was better than it had been in the past.

"We're launching four titles with Nintendo Switch 2, and that's I think a bigger array of releases than we've ever offered before with a new Nintendo platform," he said. "Historically, being a third-party in the Nintendo business has been a bit challenging. I think Nintendo has been very forthcoming in addressing that. And we're stepping up too, because we have great optimism for the platform. In terms of what we would bring to any platform, we address it on a case-by-case basis, we obviously want to be where the consumers are. But we would not necessarily bring every title to every platform. There are also great catalog opportunities as well."

Specifically, Take-Two is bringing Civilization 7 (June 5, launch day), the NBA 2K and WWE 2K series (unclear which games, or when), and Borderlands 4 (September 12). Those admittedly aren't surprising inclusions, as Take-Two was already publishing all four franchises on the Nintendo Switch. But Zelnick's quote does make it sound like the door could be open in the future to other releases, especially from Take-Two's back catalog. GTA 6 probably won't make the cut, but perhaps GTA V or red Dead Redemption 2?

With perfect timing for the launch of the Magic: The Gathering’s Final Fantasy set, TCG Player’s Mayhem sale is offering more with each purchase by offering store credit back in return (including Pokémon TCG as well).

The sale runs for one day only, May 16, from 9 AM to 11 PM. With that added store credit, you’ll then get to unlock money off future purchases. Earn enough, and you could even end up buying some free cards from this gorgeous set.

Still, while the above are incredibly pretty, several of the singles from the Final Fantasy MTG sets can be quite expensive (like with any TCG), especially with several borderless or Surge Foil cards skyrocketing towards $600.

So if the expense of buying these pricey options are putting you off, after grabbing the incredibly affordable FF MTG starter kit for $20, try grabbing one of my handpicked, top 10 MTG cards from the Final Fantasy set, and earn some extra credit to complete your collection by the time the set launches on June 13.

Netflix has announced it will roll out AI-generated advertising — including the dreaded pause ads — in the middle of its programming on the ad-supported tier from 2026.

The news, which was reported by Media Play News, doesn’t specify how the company will target the viewer for these ads; will they be individualized based on watch history? On whatever the viewer is watching at the time? At this point, we know next to nothing about how the ads will work on the backend, or even how they will be presented. But they are coming.

President of advertising Amy Reinhard recently revealed that the company sees its effort as a merging of the things Netflix excels in. “Either they have great technology, or they have great entertainment,” she explained at the recent Upfront for advertisers event in New York City. “Our superpower has always been the fact that we have both.”

The exec added: “When you compare us to our competitors, attention starts higher and ends much higher. And even more impressive, members pay as much attention to mid-roll ads as they do to the shows and movies themselves.”

Reinhard revealed ad-supported tier subscribers watch an average of 41 hours of Netflix per month, which, Kotaku worked out, equates to roughly three hours of ads per month for those viewers. That's a lot even if the ads aren’t AI. But in 2026, they will be.

Netflix has yet to give an official date for the change to be implemented.

Upon release back in 2020, American developer Sucker Punch’s Ghost of Tsushima was generally well-received for its fictionalized depiction of historical Japan. The game’s director Nate Fox recently talked about his commitment to bringing the same kind of cultural sensitivity to the upcoming Ghost of Yotei, emphasizing the importance of research, respect, and listening to cultural advisors.

While Ghost of Tsushima had us take on the role of Jin Sakai as he defends Tsushima from a Mongol invasion in the 13th century, Ghost of Yotei skips forward to 1603, where we play as female warrior Atsu in Ezo (modern day Hokkaido, Japan’s northernmost main island). She is out to wreak vengeance on a band of outlaws who murdered her family.

Ghost of Tsushima paid homage to classic samurai movies (with its black-and-white “Kurosawa mode” named after legendary Japanese film director Akira Kurosawa), so it will be interesting to see if Ghost of Yotei takes any influence from Japan’s many movies featuring tough female warriors exacting revenge, like the Lady Snowblood series.

In a recent PlayStation Blog post, Ghost of Tsushima and Ghost of Yotei director Nate Fox talked about how the research trips to Japan have not only been the “best part” of working on the games, they have also been highly inspiring and eye-opening.

“Everyone from Sucker Punch that went on those reference gathering trips came back to the studio with a driving passion to bring a sense of authenticity to our fictional depiction of these real life places," he commented, emphasizing the importance of getting the feel for a place in person, and then using this experience to craft an original, in-game environment that matches the spirit of the real location.

Comments made by Ghost of Tsushima’s English-to-Japanese localization producer Daisuke “Dice” Ishidate on Twitter / X back in May 2024 echo these sentiments: “The Ghost of Tsushima development team told me that 'we want to create enjoyable entertainment, not a history lesson...' I think that maybe the reason for Ghost of Tsushima’s success is not objective historical accuracy but its subjective period drama-like style (and flair).” (As reported by Automaton).

Indeed, Ghost of Tsushima read like a thoughtfully researched love letter to historical Japan with a dash of classic samurai movie thrown in. What inaccuracies it has were mostly artistic license used to create a more entertaining and atmospheric experience for the player, and to make the game more accessible to wider audiences. For its depiction of samurai, Ghost of Tsushima tapped into later centuries and the pop culture image of samurai as katana wielders, when they predominantly used bow and arrow in the 13th century (archery expert Sensei Ishikawa is perhaps the closest character to the samurai of that period). As for accessibility, Jin can compose haiku (the most widely recognized type of Japanese poem), however the haiku form didn’t develop until centuries later.

Although Ghost of Tsushima’s towns, shrines, and environments do feel like experiencing a nature hike through Japan from the comfort of your sofa, the game took some liberties in allowing the player to experience all Japan’s seasons. The real Tsushima is subtropical, located between South Korea and Japan’s southernmost main island of Kyushu. The heavy snow that Jin encounters in Act 3 is anachronistic, as the real Tsushima is too far south to experience such weather. However, this gave players the chance to experience a sort of virtual postcard of the most iconic and famous aspects of each season in Japan. Wandering the game’s fictional Tsushima, the player moves between different seasons: abundant pink cherry blossoms bringing a splash of spring to your screen one second, only to be replaced by orangey brown autumn leaves when you enter another area.

As Fox explained, the digital Tsushima was never intended to be a perfect recreation of the island, but it was meant to faithfully capture the spirit of the place. In the PlayStation blog post, he commented: “We felt that by listening to our cultural advisors and by doing research, we could deliver a respectful representation of what made Tsushima so special... For Ghost of Yotei, we’re doing the same thing.”

Fox revealed that Sony picked Hokkaido for Ghost of Yotei’s setting because it is “unbelievably beautiful.” Upon visiting the place, Fox recounted that the dev team were struck by the contrast between the majestic views and the potential threat posed by the bears that inhabit Hokkaido’s Shiretoko National Park. “A perfect marriage of beauty and danger, that was the exact feeling we wanted for our game,” Fox enthused. Added to this, in 1603 when Ghost of Yotei is set, Hokkaido was a sparsely populated, harsh northern island, which the developers felt fit with the tale of a female warrior so hell-bent on revenge that the locals start to believe she is a demon.

However, official information about Ghost of Yotei has yet to mention how and if it will address Hokkaido’s complicated history of eventual colonization by Japan. How will Ghost of Yotei depict Hokkaido’s indigenous people, the Ainu, and their language and culture? Will it portray tensions between Japanese and Ainu populations? This could be a difficult part of the game to get right.

After release, Ghost of Tsushima met with mostly positive reception from Japanese gaming media and people, gaining a perfect score from Famitsu and winning two awards at the Japan Game Awards 2021. It has also been embraced by the real life island of Tsushima, with its popularity encouraging more tourists to visit the island. The game’s director Nate Fox and creative director Jason Connell were named cultural ambassadors to the island, for their role in drawing people’s attention to Tsushima and its history. If Ghost of Yotei becomes as successful as its predecessor, it might also bring more overseas tourists to Hokkaido. However, they should probably make sure they are better prepared than the British couple who recently got stranded on Mount Yotei.

Darth Vader has arrived in Fortnite, and your AI buddy has a death grip on all manner of cool and strange features, including the ability to serenade to you (provided you only expect him to sing Star Wars and Disney-related songs).

As summarized by Epic Games partner Shiina, the Darth Vader AI can join and leave squads at will, respond intelligently to the player, issue cued and impromptu dialogue, summarize gameplay events, and warn the player if something's about to go down.

Darth Vader will also apparently urge you to seek professional help "if he realizes that your well-being is at risk," saying: "You are valued, Trooper. Seek assistance from the authorities. Your well-being is paramount."

If you've got a sweet spot for Vader, though, I'm sorry to inform you that Shiina reports "Darth Vader AI is NOT allowed to engage in a romantic relationship with players." And no, he won't tell you "what he did to the younglings," so don't risk his wrath by even asking.

But why read about it when you see him in action? Here's Darth Vader AI popping up unexpectedly in Nick Eh 30's match:

GAMEPLAY OF THE DARTH VADER AI, THIS IS CRAZY 😭

Darth Vader is, of course, voiced by the inimitable James Earl Jones, who sadly died in September 2024 at the age of 93. Epic Games said Darth Vader wouldn’t be "nearly as sinister without the legendary performance of James Earl Jones," adding it was "honored to feature" his voice and thanking his estate for "the opportunity to make this happen for players." Though it didn't elaborate there on how Vader's voice was recreated, elsewhere in an FAQ, Epic explained that the dialogue of Darth Vader's responses is AI-generated using Google's Gemini 2.0 Flash model, with the audio itself generated by ElevenLabs' Flash v2.5.

In a statement, the family of James Earl Jones said: "James Earl felt that the voice of Darth Vader was inseparable from the story of Star Wars, and he always wanted fans of all ages to continue to experience it. We hope that this collaboration with Fortnite will allow both longtime fans of Darth Vader and newer generations to share in the enjoyment of this iconic character."

Players under 13 or their country’s age of digital consent, whichever is higher, will need their parent or guardian’s permission to talk with Darth Vader. Parents can approve or deny Darth's shenanigans by heading to Epic Games' parental controls and selecting “allow voice and written communication with AI Features."

TCGplayer has kicked off its one-day-only Mayhem sale, where you'll get 10% back in store credit on everything you buy on May 16, 2025 (singles, sealed products, preorders, and more all count).

Since it's a one-day event, and you likely don't have the time to dig through every possible option, I've done the hard work for you. Let's dig into the best Pokémon cards to buy today.

Top 10 Pokémon Cards to Buy Today

Since it's 10% cashback (well, store credit, give me a break), I narrowed this down to the top 10 Pokémon TCG chase cards that you should be adding to your basket right now.

This isn't just 10 random picks either, as all of these have featured in our Pokémon Card Market Watch weekly roundups: "Crashers and Climbers".

Think about it like this: It’s Pokémon eBay, but cleaner. But the thing I’ve always liked about TCGplayer is it’s not just one warehouse selling cards. Every order goes through a network of local game stores and individual hobby sellers.

It’s one of the few ways you can buy cards online and still support small businesses in the process. The marketplace is massive, the prices are competitive, and I’ve never had an issue finding what I needed (or something I didn’t need until I saw it).

If your collection has been sitting in stasis or your decklist has a few too many question marks, this is a good time to fix that. You’ll get store credit for your next order just by doing what you were already planning to do.

When Undaunted: Normandy hit the shelves in 2019, it was an instant smash hit. It's a deck-building game, a genre where you start with a small deck of weak cards that you can upgrade and tweak during play until you’ve got a much more powerful, reliable engine. But its genius is to twin these mechanics with a squad-level tactical war board game.

Featured in this article

Soldier cards let you move and fire with the matching unit on the modular board in pursuit of scenario goals, while officer cards fine-tune your deck, allowing you to focus on particular squads. It's a marriage made in heaven, giving you strategic levers in deck construction, tactical thrills as you maneuver for position on the board, while still basically feeling like a simple simulation of combat where officers bolster the morale and makeup of squads under their command.

Undaunted: Normandy's success has led to a slew of games using the same basic system, which now ranges across a much wider variety of settings and complexity levels - even into outer space with a sci-fi variant. Undaunted is a great franchise, and this buying guide is here to help you decide which of its many titles is right for you.

Undaunted: Normandy

Undaunted: North Africa

Undaunted: Reinforcements

Undaunted: Stalingrad

Undaunted: Battle of Britain

Undaunted 2200: Callisto

Undaunted Promo Scenarios

Fans of the series might be interested to learn that, in the years since its release, there have been a number of additional scenarios published in magazines and given away at conventions. Over time the publisher has made most of these available to download for free on its website, so fill your combat boots.

Bring Her Back opens in theaters Friday, May 30.

Grief-stricken horror has enjoyed a few peaks over the last decade – Ari Aster’s Hereditary chief among them. In the latest addition to that subgenre, Bring Her Back, Aster’s A24 cohorts Danny and Michael Philippou test the limits of what a mother is willing to do in order to spend more time with her deceased child. It’s the follow-up to their successful debut, Talk to Me – that movie was about a relic that channels dark spirits into our world, and this one is another supernatural tale whose terrifying events are fueled by personal tragedy. The Philippous find the gravitas they’re seeking in a complex antagonist played by Sally Hawkins, whose heinous acts are, ultimately, motivated by love. Unfortunately, not everything in Bring Her Back is as well-rounded, and nagging questions about what’s going on at the foster home run by Hawkins’ character diminish some of Bring Her Back’s chilling implications.

The directors’ decision to cast Hawkins as a woman who gradually reveals her particular derangement is their savviest bet. The bubbliness of her character in Mike Leigh’s Happy-Go-Lucky or the disarming warmth of her part in the Paddington films is still present in her portrayal of foster mother Laura, who takes in young Andy (Billy Barratt) and his stepsister Piper (Sora Wong) after the death of Andy’s father. Here, however, those endearing qualities exist as a deceiving façade to earn her victims’ trust as she readies a disturbing, self-serving sacrifice. Hawkins adds a new edge to her already impressive repertoire with a performance that shifts between bone-chilling malevolence and moving desperation. An early scene shows Laura taking swigs from a liquor bottle with Andy and Piper; it’s both an early indication of her poor judgement and a means by which she begins gaslighting Andy. Because the distraught teenager is merely a hurdle for Laura’s plans for Piper.

The stepsiblings are introduced to Oliver (Jonah Wren Phillips), a boy who is mute, possessed of an incessant hunger, and mostly kept locked in his room. The assumption is that he’s another foster kid under Laura’s care, but something’s clearly amiss: VHS tapes of what appears to be a satanic cult play in the background whenever she needs to calm him down. Most of the squirm-inducing moments in Bring Her Back revolve around Oliver’s voracious, zombie-like behavior, which leads him into horrifically gory scenarios of self-harm. (There’s an especially nasty one involving a kitchen knife.) Phillips stuns with his physicality and haunting facial expressions as Oliver devolves into increasingly animalistic aggressiveness.

While Oliver is unable to communicate verbally, Piper is blind (Wong herself has low vision), her sense of sight limited to only making out shapes. Bring Her Back consistently and often cleverly uses these characteristics to obstruct the kids’ attempts at untangling Laura’s web of lies. When Piper wakes up abruptly after being hit in the face, she can’t identify who the culprit was, and each time Oliver suffers a new episode, she can’t see the outcome. It’s Andy’s word versus what Laura wants Piper to believe.

Barratt’s on-the-verge-of-a-breakdown turn as Andy convincingly conveys the anxiety of a protective brother failing to fend off Laura’s viciousness. He and Piper apparently have an indestructible bond, but can it survive this ordeal? Talk to Me proved that the Philippous are great at working with young actors and engaging with their volatile emotional states (especially when they’re in extreme distress), and they continue to flex those skills with Barratt, Phillips, and Wong. In these directors’ hands, adolescence is an evil entity itself.

They make good use of water, too, which reads more and more symbolic as Bring Her Back unfolds. We often see images of the characters distorted by one slick surface or another, be it a wet window or the glass of a shower partition. Unclear, however, is whether the nightmarish visions Andy experiences elsewhere are due to his own trauma or related to some unspoken occult influence.

The Philippous withhold any meaningful details about the sinister-seeming group glimpsed in the videos Laura uses to soothe Oliver. That we learn nothing about how she obtained the tapes or how she came into contact with the people in them feels like a choice to set up a sequel where all will be revealed. But this has a paradoxical effect on Bring Her Back: The otherworldly elements are both too vague for us to make sense of, but at the same time too prominent to ignore or not be concerned with. Numerous hints about Laura’s intentions – like a circle drawn around her property that determines how far can Oliver go before an unseen force makes his body contort – come to light, yet the human drama that surrounds them remains more compelling because it’s the stuff that Bring Her Back is unambiguous about.

Other aspects of the story are easier to grasp, for better and worse: As Laura unravels, Bring Her Back takes some predictable turns. Still, it arrives at a tragic resolution that’s at least partially surprising. Even if the feelings and the frights don’t entirely jell, there’s plenty to like about what the Philippous envisioned.

Releasing on May 30, 2025, the latest Pokémon TCG: Scarlet & Violet expansion, Destined Rivals, is already set to be one of the biggest card game releases ever. And it deserves it.

I've managed to get an early hands-on with the set, and let me just say this: Destined Rivals is amazing. After getting my hands on the expansion for the first time, it's safe to say that this is one of the best times I have had opening cards in ages.

The illustrations are some of the best I've ever seen. The expansion plays with more Trainer Pokémon cards, including Ethan, the Pokémon Gold and Silver protagonist, and brought back more nostalgia than I could cope with. It feels like exactly what Pokémon TCG needed.

Destined Rivals is more than just a trip down memory lane. It is a real evolution for the game. From the way the new Trainer’s Pokémon open up deck-building possibilities to the much better pull rates, this set feels like they finally figured out what collectors and players want again.

It could be deemed as a mighty fresh start for The Pokémon Company, after months of stock issues and sets with tough pull rates (although Journey Together had initially started getting things moving in the right direction).

I am already planning which decks to build and which cards I want doubles (or triples) of, and I haven't felt this way about a set in a while. And if stock levels can finally get sorted this year, alongside the whole of TCG, I think most trainers will have a very hard time resisting this set.

Where to Buy

Unboxing and Impressions

I got my hands on a nice selection of Destined Rivals products thanks to The Pokémon Company: a Build and Battle Box, a Booster Bundle, an Elite Trainer Box, and a full Booster Box. I want to say upfront that opening all of these felt way more rewarding than the past few sets.

Every product had its highlights, and it genuinely felt like I was hitting cards worth getting excited about instead of just shrugging and moving on.

The Build and Battle Box set the tone early. Inside were four booster packs, a stamped promo card (Team Rocket's Tyrainitar for me) and a 40-card deck. I pulled one ex card and one Illustration Rare from the four packs, which is half decent if you ask me.

Building a quick deck from the included cards was surprisingly fun, especially since the Trainer’s Pokémon mechanics made even the starter deck feel a lot more flavorful than usual. Four Team Rocket's Tyranitar holo's please!

Sadly I didn't pull much from the Elite Trainer Box. But I did get nine booster packs, sleeves, dice, markers, and the Rocket’s Wobbuffet promo card. This ETB looks so awesome in my opinion. The red-and-black Team Rocket design is even better in person.

I think this ETB is easily one of the strongest ones we have seen recently, although like any Pokémon TCG set, pulling chase cards is 50% luck and 50% based on being a good set. So I was unlucky.

But the Booster Bundle kept the momentum going. With six booster packs and no extras, it was just me versus the Pokégods. I pulled a couple of ex's and my favorite card of this set, Ethan's Typhlosian IR.

What a stunning card, so much movement and detail that still manages to showcase the bond between Ethan and Tyranitar. I think Booster Bundles are one of the best value products if you want a quick hit of that fresh-set excitement without destroying your wallet.

The Booster Box was the grand finale, and it delivered exactly what I was hoping for. I pulled multiple ex cards, a Gold card, a SIR and several Illustration Rares that made the whole opening feel exciting from start to finish.

In my opinion, this was the perfect reminder that Booster Boxes can still feel like an event, not just a slog through 36 packs hoping for one decent hit. If I was to get one of these products again, I'd go all in on a booster box.

But what about my first impressions with the new expansion? Well the thing that jumps out for me about Destined Rivals is how much better the illustrations are. Cards just feel more alive now.

Even commons are expressive enough that I find myself looking at them instead of instantly shuffling them into the bulk pile. It is the kind of small but powerful change that makes every pack a little adventure instead of a chore.

The return of Trainer’s Pokémon for a second time in the Scarlet and Violet era is another huge shift that I want to shout about. Building decks and collecting cards based around specific characters instead of just types gives near-unlimited theme options.

I love that Cynthia’s Pokémon feel like a cohesive team instead of a random pile of cards. It makes building and battling way more fun, and it also makes each pull feel a lot more personal.

Pull rates feel a lot better too. From 46 packs, I pulled 8 ex cards, 6 Illustration Rares, 1 Special Illustration Rare, and 1 Gold card.

That's 16 respectable hits that don't just feel like glorified reverse holo cards. It matches the strong pull experience from Journey Together, and it is a world away from the frustrating experience I had with recent mini sets like Prismatic Evolutions.

I still have nightmares about Shrouded Fable, where the pull rates were so harsh that opening it felt like a social experiment on patience. Surging Sparks was only slightly better. Even after opening a booster box, it mostly handed out standard ex cards like consolation prizes.

And Prismatic Evolutions? That mini set was so flooded with Pokéball cards and low chances that I felt quite disappointed after previewing it. Destined Rivals fixes all of that and reminds me why I love this hobby.

My Favorite Destined Rivals Pulls

In terms of pure chase cards I pulled alone, this is one of my favorite Pokémon TCG previews to date. I got 16 hits from standard exs and IRs to SIRs, with the full gallery at the top of the article. Here's my top five pulls from this Destined Rivals preview, and I think I've caught some of the best cards in this set:

Ethan's Ho-Oh ex 239/182

This month marks the 20th anniversary of the release of Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith, the concluding chapter in the Star Wars Prequel Trilogy. The film was released on May 19, 2005, and it would end up being the final Star Wars film guided by George Lucas before he sold Lucasfilm to Disney seven years later.

Fans knew going into Revenge of the Sith that this was where we’d see Anakin Skywalker turn to the Dark Side of the Force and become Darth Vader, but a big question was what exactly happened to all the other Jedi. The film’s answer was Order 66, a diabolical part of Palpatine’s plan in which he would have all of the Clone Troopers who had fought with the Jedi throughout the Clone Wars suddenly turn on those Jedi and execute them. But with several thousands of Jedi in service at the time, it stood to reason that some would slip through Palpatine’s fingers - and not just the couple we knew had to because they were still around in the Original Trilogy.

So amongst the few dozen Order 66 survivors who’ve been introduced in canon Star Wars stories by now, we’ve decided to rank the top 10 that have made an especially big impact. Some of them would only survive for a short time longer, while others managed to make it much further into the timeline - and in a few cases, their final fate remains unknown. Regardless, all of these Jedi at least lived on to fight one more day after Palpatine declared “Execute Order 66.”

Some ground rules: The criteria for this list is that these characters had to have spent some time, prior to Order 66, under the jurisdiction of the Jedi Order, whether their final rank was Padawan, Jedi Knight, Jedi Master or even simply those among the very young Jedi Initiate. So that means we’re not counting Force-users like Maul (nor his former Master, Palpatine himself). Nor would it include then-young Force wielders like Jod Na Nawood who never were officially taken in by the Jedi Order and certainly never stepped foot in the Jedi Temple, even if they received a modicum of training from a Jedi.

That being said, we did have some inner angst about whether Asajj Ventress should make it on here. After all, she spent over 20 years alongside a Jedi, Ky Narec, who declared her to be his Padawan as he trained her in the ways of the Force while he was stranded with her on the planet Rattatak. Yet, during that time, Ventress never traveled to Coruscant or encountered any of the Jedi Council, nor any other Jedi, prior to Ky Narec’s death. That, plus her turn to the Dark Side as Dooku’s apprentice, makes her a bit of a murky element in regards to her official Jedi status. So consider her an honorable mention. Though speaking of that, let’s also deal with…

(Dis)Honorable Mention: Darth Vader and the Inquisitors

Anakin Skywalker’s first act as Darth Vader was to follow Palpatine’s orders and personally take part in Order 66… but yes, before he turned murderous traitor, he was a remarkable Jedi. And we should also acknowledge all those who ended up joining the ranks of Vader’s vicious Inquisitors, who then hunted down and executed their own fellow Jedi survivors. Some, like the Grand Inquisitor, seemed eager to help; Barriss Offee and the Thirteenth Sister (Iskat Akaris) had grown disillusioned with the Jedi Council and what they saw as that group’s corruption; the Second Sister (Trilla Suduri) and the Ninth Sister (Masana Tide) were tortured into submission; and the Third Sister (Reva) planned to eventually get revenge on Vader for killing her fellow Jedi younglings, even as the exact reasonings for several others to join up remains unknown. But whether they were Inquisitors only briefly or for years, they spent time participating in some notably dark and brutal acts.

…Ok, maybe not Barriss so much. She seemed to leave pretty quickly, really.

10. Gungi

Sometimes adorableness gets you extra points. Because sure, we could have chosen former Jedi Council members like Oppo Rancisis or Eeth Koth for this tenth slot, given they also survived Order 66 (at least for a while), but in the end we had to go with the Padawan known as Gungi. Because look at this dude - he’s a young wookiee with a lightsaber! That power is undeniable.

Gungi was introduced on Star Wars: The Clone Wars as part of a group of young Padawan during a storyline that once was envisioned as a potential Young Jedi spinoff. Then, on Star Wars: The Bad Batch – set in the immediate aftermath of Order 66 – we learned he had somehow survived, though sadly it’s not likely his Padawan friends could say the same. We last saw Gungi back on Kashyyyk, joining a new tribe who fought alongside him after he discovered his original tribe had tragically been killed by Trandoshans.

9. Jocastu Nu

“Jedi Librarian” isn’t exactly the most intimidating title, and the Chief Librarian of the Jedi Archives was introduced in Attack of the Clones in a fairly annoying fashion, representing the arrogance of the Prequel-era Jedi through her insistence that "If an item does not appear in our records, it does not exist!” (Spoiler alert: She was wrong.)

Still, this massive faux pas aside, she was in fact an incredibly knowledgeable Jedi who also had access to secrets about the Jedi and the Force no one else did - which is why Palpatine actually wanted her brought in alive when it was discovered she survived Order 66. Ultimately, she was instead killed by Darth Vader, in an early, secret act of defiance against his Sith Master, after she told Vader she knew he was actually Anakin Skywalker and that Palpatine would use her information to find and corrupt more Force-sensitive children to the Dark Side. Years later, Anakin’s son, Luke, would gather information Jocasta collected as he attempted to rebuild the Jedi Order.

8. Quinlan Vos

Existing on the periphery of the Prequel trilogy – he’s glimpsed as a background character on Tatooine in The Phantom Menace and name-dropped by Obi-Wan in Revenge of the Sith – Quinlan Vos first got a lot more focus in Star Wars Legends stories that were not canon. However, we would then get a better idea of the true history of the character from Star Wars: The Clone Wars and other stories, as we learned he was a Jedi who often dealt with the criminal underworld, such as the Hutts and Cad Bane.

From becoming the lover of Asajj Ventress to temporarily being turned to the Dark Side of the Force by Count Dooku, Vos lived an eclectic life - and then managed to narrowly avoid being killed when the Clone Troopers turned on the Jedi while he fought alongside them on Kashyyyk, though he was wounded in the process. Whether he made it to the era of the Original Trilogy is unknown, but Vos was at least around for several more years, with Obi-Wan Kenobi eventually finding his name amongst other surviving Jedi and Force sensitive beings who had joined and used the secret network known as the Hidden Path to stay safe during the time of the Empire.

7. Baylan Skoll

Though the most recently-introduced character on this list, with many details we don’t know about him as yet, there are a lot of intriguing elements to former Jedi Knight Baylan Skoll. Skoll has a decidedly world-weary demeanor, recalling Order 66 by explaining “I watched everything I knew burn,” and noting he came to believe that the fall of the Jedi and rise of the Empire were simply the latest iteration of history continually repeating itself.

Though we don’t know how exactly he survived Order 66, Skoll neither stayed on a righteous path nor seemed to actually turn to the Dark Side, as others like the Inquisitors appeared to. Instead, he used his Jedi skills as a mercenary for hire, and eventually took on an apprentice, Shin Hati. The actor who originated the role of Skoll, the great Ray Stevenson, has sadly passed away since filming Ahsoka Season 1, but the character will return in Season 2, now played by Game of Thrones’ Rory McCann - and perhaps we will learn more of his backstory in the process.

6. Caleb Dume / Kanan Jarus

Padawan to the Jedi Depa Billaba when Order 66 began, Caleb Dume was unable to save his Master’s life, but managed to survive himself thanks to some assistance from Clone Force 99, aka the Bad Batch. Going on the run across the galaxy, Dume changed his identity to Kanan Jarus, and for a long time, forsook all of his Jedi ways. Eventually though, he decided to begin fighting against the Empire, joining with the group of heroes at the center of the animated series Star Wars Rebels, where he passed on his knowledge of the Force to young Ezra Bridger, even though Kanan had never completed his own time as a Padawan.

Their adventures would eventually lead Kanan and his fellow crew members on the Ghost to fully join the growing Rebel Alliance, but Kanan’s sacrifices would be many along the way, as he first lost his eyesight in a battle with Maul and then lost his life to protect his friends. But Kanan’s legacy carries on both through his apprentice Ezra, and through Kanan and Rebel pilot Hera Syndulla’s son Jacen.

5. Grogu

The mega-cute, oh-so merchandise-friendly, breakout character from The Mandalorian, Grogu was introduced as a baby in the post-Return of the Jedi era of Star Wars, eventually becoming the adopted son to Din Djarin. However, due to his mysterious species’ notably long lifespan, it turns out being a baby is a decades-long process for Grogu, which is why it made sense that he had in fact been a Jedi Initiate who was present at the Jedi Temple the night Order 66 occurred. In Grogu’s case, another Order 66 survivor, Ahmed Best’s Kelleran Beq (whose ultimate fate is unknown), was able to get him away from Coruscant in the midst of the Jedi massacre.

Despite his (relatively) young age and toddler-like demeanor, Grogu is clearly innately strong in the Force to a notably impressive degree, already capable of levitating large objects and even using Force healing abilities. All of which insinuates that when he finally grows up, he has the capacity to be as powerful as another well known member of his species we’ll be talking about more below.

4. Cal Kestis

The protagonist of the games Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order and Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, Padawan Cal Kestis had a similar background to Kanan in that he and his Jedi Master were away from Coruscant when Order 66 was declared, with Cal making it to safety while his Master did not. Though he also went into hiding in the aftermath, Cal ended up on the radar of the Inquisitors, which sent him on a journey that led him to take an active role against the Empire much sooner than Kanan did.

A notably skilled lightsaber combatant, Cal also stands out for attempting to rebuild the Jedi Order far earlier than others like Luke Skywalker would. From teaming with the militant Saw Gerrera to assisting the Hidden Path in protecting other Jedi and Force-sensitive survivors, to making it through an encounter with Darth Vader himself, Cal kept plenty busy during the reign of the Empire - though it’s not yet known what his final fate is or if he was still around by the time of the Battle of Yavin.

3. Ahsoka Tano

Yes, she technically left the Jedi Order and would even go on to memorably declare “I am no Jedi,” but Ahsoka Tano’s skill and courage sure mark her as a great Jedi, even if she wasn’t calling herself that any longer. The Padawan of Anakin Skywalker, Ahsoka was a big part of the Clone Wars (the war) and a big part of The Clone Wars (the series), as we saw her grow from a sarcastic teenager into a confident and centered young woman who fought with honor in many notable battles. Eventually though, she felt compelled to leave the Jedi after they tried her for a crime she did not commit, even after they attempted to bring her back into the fold with their version of “Our bad.”

Reunited with her Clone Trooper friends as the war was coming to an end, her Jedi status in their eyes was clear when Order 66 was declared, as those same Clone Troopers then attempted to kill her. She would survive, though it pained her to do so at the expense of men she had fought alongside for so long. Helping the burgeoning Rebel Alliance through the years that followed, Ahsoka would make it through the Galactic Civil War, with her current adventures, on her own live-action series, now bringing both her and her apprentice, Sabine Wren, to an entirely different galaxy far, far away from the one she’s known.

2. Obi-Wan Kenobi

The former Padawan of Qui-Gon Jinn and a hero of the Clone Wars, Obi-Wan’s adventures and accomplishments are many, though it’s his relationship with Anakin Skywalker that would perhaps define him, for better or worse. As Anakin’s Master, Obi-Wan did all he could to impart wisdom and knowledge to his Padawan, only to see him fall to the Dark Side and become Darth Vader.

Offworld when Order 66 was declared, Obi-Wan managed to escape when his Clone Troopers, led by Commander Cody, turned on him. He would go on to confront Darth Vader on Mustafar, winning their battle and leaving his former friend and surrogate brother horribly maimed yet still breathing. While he spent most of the next two decades quietly watching over Luke Skywalker on Tatooine, he would temporarily leave the planet to protect Luke’s sister, Leia Organa, which in turn brought him into conflict with Vader again. And while their third and final lightsaber battle, onboard the Death Star, would end in Obi-Wan’s death, he had already begun Luke’s Jedi training at that point. This set Luke on a path towards redeeming Vader and ending the reign of the Empire, with Obi-Wan’s Force Ghost sometimes appearing along the way to give Luke guidance.

1. Yoda

Arguably the most powerful Jedi we’ve ever seen, the diminutive and thoughtful Yoda is not one to make a show of just what he’s capable of accomplishing unless he has to. But it was clear he was someone of great wisdom and knowledge from the moment Luke met him on Dagobah – after he drops his funny “I’m just a weird swamp creature” bit with Luke that is – who is able to feel and tap into the Force in a way that is deeply profound. Is his mysterious race innately tied to the Force? Given the only three we’ve met who represent these beings – Yoda, Yaddle and Grogu – are powerful in the Force, it seems possible.

As we finally saw during the Prequels, Yoda could both duel with a lightsaber and harness the Force and its abilities like few others - even deflecting Force Lightning when the formidable likes of Anakin and Obi-Wan were incapable of doing so. This was why the Clone Troopers who tried to take him down on Kashyyyk when Order 66 was declared truly stood no chance. Come on, Clones… this is freaking Yoda!

Confronting an opponent unlike any other when he battled Emperor Palpatine soon after, Yoda survived that battle but was forced into hiding, deciding caution was the best approach for the time being and with so few Jedi now left alive. After years alone on Dagobah, Yoda would finally be joined by Luke Skywalker, giving Anakin’s son the crucial training he needed to eventually become a Jedi himself. Though Yoda’s hundreds of years of life finally came to an end shortly before the Galactic Civil War came to its conclusion, he would still maintain a presence as a Force Ghost - even returning to give an older Luke one more bit of sage advice decades later.

Who do you think the most noteworthy survivor of Order 66 is? Let’s discuss in the comments. And vote in our poll above!

I'll be honest with you: George Miller is my favorite director. He’s the genius behind two of my favorite movie franchises: Mad Max and Happy Feet (yes, there was a Happy Feet sequel, please look more into it). Sorry, I get caught up in the Happy Feet thing.

In truth, the Mad Max movies blend the chaos of early '80s action tropes with a surreal vision of post-apocalyptic Australia. After releasing three movies between 1979 and 1985, it seemed Mad Max would remain a trilogy and a relic of a bygone era. Then, after the aforementioned Happy Feet detour, Miller suddenly returned to the franchise that had kicked off his career.

With Tom Hardy taking over the titular role from Mel Gibson, Mad Max: Fury Road was released in 2016 to critical acclaim, going on to win a total of six Academy Awards. While the most recent movie, Furiosa, may not have achieved quite as much box office success, I’m still willing to claim Mad Max as one of the best action franchises of all time.

As Fury Road celebrates its 10th anniversary, I highly recommend a Mad Max marathon. Here’s your options for watching all of the Mad Max movies online.

Stellar Blade's Steam rollout has been mysteriously blocked in countries like Egypt, Vietnam, Estonia, and Cuba.

While there's been no formal statement on why sales have been blocked in over 100 countries around the world, it's thought the list broadly matches that of places where PlayStation Network is not available.

But here's the confusing thing: Stellar Blade doesn't require players to sign up to PSN to play, which has left players wondering why on earth sales have been restricted.

It's possible the block comes not because Stellar Blade requires a PSN connection, but because it offers an optional one. Though not confirmed by either developer ShiftUp or Sony itself just yet, some are speculating that it may be because players are invited to sign up via their PSN account to secure an optional skin for Eve.

The game isn't available in ~130 countries on Steam and Epic Games Store. pic.twitter.com/D79a3HrUut

— Mikhail Shevkun 🐶 (@MWorldII) May 15, 2025

More interestingly still, it seems ShiftUp itself has been surprised by the restrictions. While the team has responded to several unhappy tweets on X/Twitter, asking the complainants where they live, they've yet to provide any further information about why the game is blocked in certain countries.

Despite offering millions of fans the chance to enjoy experiences that were otherwise locked behind console exclusivity, Sony has fumbled its rollout on PC, with many players blasting the company for its mandatory PSN connection requirement. It meant that players needed to have an account and link it in order to enjoy their chosen game at all, even if the title was a single-player game like God of War or The Last of Us. The requirement led to backlash from PC players in territories where PSN is unavailable.

The drama first hit the Helldivers 2 community in May last year, when PlayStation announced that Steam users would need to connect a PlayStation Network account to play. The company, however, quickly took back that decision as it reversed course just a few days later.

This has since been further compounded, however, by the fact PSN is not available in some countries, which resulted in Helldivers 2 being delisted in around 177 countries at the time. Most recently, in January 2025, Sony stated it would no longer require players to link a PlayStation Network account to enjoy some of its PC games, and instead offered bonuses for those who do.

The PC version of Stellar Blade launches via Steam on June 11 along with a raft of PC-specific features, including AI upscaling via Nvidia DLSS 4 and AMD FSR 3, an unlocked framerate, Japanese and Chinese voiceover, ultrawide display support, higher resolution environment textures, and DualSense support for haptic feedback and trigger effects.

IGN's Stellar Blade review returned a 7/10. We said: "Stellar Blade is great in all of the most important ways for an action game, but dull characters, a lackluster story, and several frustrating elements of its RPG mechanics prevent it from soaring along with the best of the genre."

When director Hugo Martin explained that the mantra for Doom: The Dark Ages was “stand and fight” during Xbox’s Developer Direct earlier this year, I was instantly enticed. It's an idea in direct opposition to id Software’s previous game, Doom Eternal, a shooter built on hyper-kinetic, perpetually mobile firefights. There is, however, a single enemy in Eternal that does demand you “stand and fight” – the Marauder. Perhaps the most controversial enemy ever featured in a Doom game, it’s hated by many… and loved by me. And the moment I realised that the trick to Doom: The Dark Ages’ combat was reacting to bright green lights – the very same thing that’s key to killing a Marauder – I knew I was all-in.

Don’t worry, The Dark Ages doesn’t force you into a cage fight with an enemy that’s as fast and fiddly as Eternal's Marauder. Sure, there is the Agaddon Hunter, who’s protected by a bulletproof shield and lashes out with a deadly combo attack, but the legacy of Eternal’s infamous battles lives on not through a single enemy, but every enemy. Rethought, recalibrated, and reforged, the ideas behind the Marauder have been applied to The Dark Ages’ core combat design. The result? Every encounter has the smarts of a Marauder face-off with none of the frustrations.

The Marauder is a bit of an unusual beast. Fights in Doom Eternal typically have you running loops around a combat arena, cutting down fodder enemies and bouncing between larger foes. Eternal has often been called a management game, and that doesn’t just apply to your resources; through the use of speed, space, and shotguns you have to manage the horde. That all goes out the window when the Marauder turns up. This tough-as-nails, axe-swinging powerhouse demands your complete focus, hence why it’s so often fought in one-on-one situations. On the odd occasion one turns up in larger battles, the best tactic is to avoid its blows, clear the deck of mobs, and – finally – stand and fight.

Killer Instinct Gold is the latest Nintendo 64 game to be added to the Nintendo Switch Online library.

A Nintendo 64 port of the arcade fighter Killer Instinct 2, Gold joins the original Killer Instinct in the expansive library of retro titles now available to the Online Expansion Pack subscribers.

Released almost 30 years ago now in 1996, Killer Instinct Gold was developed by British studio Rare, which was a frequent second-party developer for Nintendo at the time, making games like Donkey Kong Country, Goldeneye 007, and Perfect Dark for early Nintendo systems. You can pick from a roster of 10 killer fighters, and test your instincts across multiple game modes, "with hundreds of thousands of moves and killer Combos at your fingertips."

Rare and by extension the Killer Instinct franchise is of course now owned by Microsoft, which makes Killer Instinct Gold yet another Xbox Game Studios title to release on the Switch. Following the release of Xbox One launch title Killer Instinct back in 2013, there has been no indication that Microsoft plans to revive the series with yet another sequel.

Nintendo Switch Online is a subscription-based online gaming service for the Nintendo Switch gaming platform. Memberships include online functionality, allowing you to compete or cooperate with friends, as well as a collection of classic Nintendo games spanning four decades, including titles from the NES, SNES, Game Boy, Nintendo 64, and (with the upcoming launch of the Nintendo Switch 2) the new GameCube libraries. A free seven-day trial is also available.

Nintendo Switch 2 preorders went live at the end of April with the price of the console still fixed at $449.99 — and they went about as well as you'd expect. But although Nintendo has issued a warning to U.S. customers who applied for a Switch 2 pre-order from the My Nintendo Store, saying release date delivery is not guaranteed due to very high demand, Nintendo of America boss Doug Bowser told IGN he is confident the company will have enough units to meet consumer demand "through the holidays."

Civilization 7 has had a rough launch on Steam — that much is clear. The strategy sequel has struggled for players on Valve’s platform ever since its launch in February. Reaction is ‘mixed,’ according to Steam user reviews. And despite a number of patches issued by developer Firaxis to reverse the sentiment, Civilization 7 finds itself in the unenviable situation of having fewer players on Steam than Civilization 6 and even the 15-year-old Civilization 5.

Civ 7’s Steam performance does not paint the entire picture, of course. The game also launched on PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch (a Nintendo Switch 2 version that makes use of the new Joy-Con mouse controls will soon release). But Civilization’s bread and butter is PC, and there Civ 7 is clearly struggling.

You’d think, then, that Firaxis parent company Take-Two wouldn’t be best pleased. But speaking to IGN in an interview ahead of the company’s latest financial results, CEO Strauss Zelnick told me he was “thrilled” with Civ 7 so far.

“I'm thrilled with Civ 7 so far,” Zelnick began. “However, there were some issues initially, and our team at Firaxis has done a great job addressing those issues. There's more work to be done. I'm optimistic that work will be done and will suit consumers, and ultimately that we have a very successful title on our hands.”

Zelnick then pointed to the Civilization franchise’s tendency to have a long sales cycle, at least compared to many other games, and his belief that Civ 7 will follow suit.

“The history of all the Civilization releases is that initially some of the changes that we make cause consternation among our consumers because they love the Civilization franchise so much,” he said.

“And then people realize, oh, this really is an improvement and over a long sales cycle, we do really well. I think that's what'll happen here too.

“But undoubtedly, we had some issues in the beginning, which we've addressed partially and continue to address.”

When Civ 7 launched, players highlighted issues with the user interface, a lack of map variety, and expressed a feeling that the game launched without a number of features they’d come to expect from the franchise.

Zelnick’s mention of hardcore Civ players being a little nervous about Civ 7 at launch is no-doubt a reference to some of the dramatic changes Firaxis made to the game.

A full campaign in Civilization 7 is one that goes through all three Ages: Antiquity, Exploration, and Modern. Once the Age is completed, all players (and any AI opponents) experience an Age Transition simultaneously. During an Age Transition, three things happen: you select a new civilization from the new Age to represent your empire, you choose which Legacies you want to retain in the new Age, and the game world evolves. The Civilization games have never had such a system. Clearly, Zelnick believes Civ fans will come to love it over time.

Take-Two has yet to announce a sales figure for Civilization 7, but in its financial report said it was "pursuing opportunities to expand the audience," including the recent launch of Civilization 7 VR for Meta Quest 3 and 3S, as well as the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 port.

However, when copying them, you can sometimes accidentally include an extra space somwhere, so always double check there's no additional spaces!

Hot on the heels of revealing a number of discarded video game ideas and even an idea for a ‘Forgetting Game’ where the main character gradually forgets important information and abilities if you take too long a break from playing, Kojima has revealed he has left his staff a SUB stick of game ideas for after he dies.

As reported by VGC, Kojima issued the morbid revelation to Edge magazine, and discussed his change of thinking that occurred during the pandemic.

“Turning 60 was less of a turning point in my life than my experiences during the pandemic,” he said. “I fell seriously ill at that time, and also had an eye operation. Until then, I didn’t think I was old, you know? I just didn’t feel my age, and I assumed I would be able to create for as long as I live.

“But then I became sick, and I couldn’t create anything. And I saw lots of people around me passing away at that time. I was confronted with death. Of course, I recovered, but now I was thinking, ‘Wait, how many years do I have left to make a game or a film?’ Perhaps I have 10 years?”

When inputting an Anime Vanguards code into Roblox, make sure it's spelled correctly and that there are no accidental spaces either before or after the code. All the codes on this page have been tested by IGN and work at the time of submission, so we'd recommend copying and pasting codes directly from this article rather than typing them out yourself to avoid any errors. That way, you can be sure they work.

If the code still doesn't work, it's more than likely expired and can no longer be redeemed.

How to Get More Anime Vanguards Codes

The best way to get more Anime Vanguards codes is to join the official Anime Vanguards Discord server. This way, you can set up notifications to be notified if new codes drop. That said, the server is incredibly popular at the moment, so you may need to wait until there's space if it's full.

Additionally, we check for new Anime Vanguards codes daily, so make sure to bookmark this article for the latest new codes for free rewards.

What is Anime Vanguards in Roblox?

Anime Vanguards is a Tower Defence game in which you use various characters from popular anime series to defend your base against evil anime villains. As you level up and complete stages in the Roblox experience, you earn Gems which are used to summon more powerful units, making it easier to defeat even the most powerful of opponents. If you're lucky, you may even summon a Mythical!

Why Isn't My Anime Rangers X Code Working?

When a code for a Roblox Experience isn't working, it's usually because the codes have been typed in incorrectly or they're expired. Lots of codes are case sensitive, so you'll need to make sure it's exactly how it appears in this article.

We test each code before uploading them, to make sure they're active, so be sure you're copying it straight from our article (without any sneaky extra spaces) to get the right one. If it's still not working, make sure you've joined the Community, and made it to Level 5.

Destiny 2 developer Bungie is once again battling accusations of plagiarism after yet another artist accused the studio of "lifting" aspects of their artwork, this time for its upcoming sci-fi shooter, Marathon.

After numerous artists and a writer came forward claiming Bungie used their work without authorization or credit, yet another artist is claiming their work was used in the environments of Marathon. In screenshots taken from Marathon's alpha playtest accompanying the tweet, artist Antireal alleged they could see distinct icons and graphics they designed, some of which were originally shared on social media years ago in 2017.

the Marathon alpha released recently and its environments are covered with assets lifted from poster designs i made in 2017.@Bungie @josephacross pic.twitter.com/0Csbo48Jgb

— N² (@4nt1r34l) May 15, 2025

"Bungie is, of course, not obligated to hire me when making a game that draws overwhelmingly from the same design language I have refined for the last decade, but clearly my work was good enough to pillage for ideas and plaster all over their game without pay or attribution," the artist wrote in a statement posted to X/Twitter.

"I don't have the resources nor the energy to spare to pursue this legally but I have lost count of the number of times a major company has deemed it easier to pay a designer to imitate or steal my work than to write me an email. In 10 years, I have never made a consistent income from this work and I am tired of designers from huge companies moodboarding and parasitising my designs while I struggle to make a living."

Bungie responded within hours. Though it did not publicly apologize, it said it had now launched an investigation, attributing the "issue" to a former Bungie artist, and reached out to the artist concerned.

"We immediately investigated a concern regarding unauthorized use of artist decals in Marathon and confirmed that a former Bungie artist included these in a texture sheet that was ultimately used in-game," the team said in a statement. "This issue was unknown by our existing art team, and we are still reviewing how this oversight occurred.

"We take matters like this very seriously. We have reached out to [the artist] to discuss this issue and are committed to do right by the artist. As a matter of policy, we do not use the work of artists without their permission.

"To prevent similar issues in the future, we are conducting a thorough review of our in-game assets, specifically those done by the former Bungie artist, and implementing stricter checks to document all artist contributions. We value the creativity and dedication of all artists who contribute to our games, and we are committed to doing right by them. Thank you for bringing this to our attention."

This is not the first time Bungie has been accused of lifting ideas from elsewhere. In October, the studio was slapped with a lawsuit after a writer claimed the studio stole plot elements from his story and used them for content in Destiny 2's 2017 storyline, The Red War. Bungie recently tried to get the lawsuit dismissed but a judge denied the request as Bungie scrambled to provide evidence having since "vaulted" the content so it is no longer publicly playable.

Just weeks before that lawsuit was filed, Bungie launched a different investigation to ascertain how a NERF gun based on Destiny 2's iconic Ace of Spades was lifted almost wholesale from fanart designed back in 2015, including every brush stroke, scratch, and smudge on the weapon.

Why Isn't My Fire Force: Reignition Code Working?

If your Fire Force: Reignition code isn’t working, it’s likely due to one of two scenarios. The first is that the code was inputted incorrectly. Check the spelling and that the case is correct, then redeem again. You can even copy and paste the codes directly from this article over to Roblox if you want to make sure you’re inputting them correctly.

The other possibility is the code has expired or you’ve already used it. In this scenario, you should see an error message pop up inside the code bar informing you that the code has already been redeemed or is invalid.

How to Get More Fire Force: Reignition Codes

If you're on the hunt for additional Fire Force Reignition codes, your best bet is to head over to the game's official Discord server. Once you're a member, you'll be able to find any new codes as they drop in the Announcements and Updates channels.

What is Fire Force: Reignition in Roblox?

Fire Force: Reignition is a multiplayer open-world RPG that takes heavy influence from the popular manga and anime series, Fire Force. Players are dropped into an open-world city and must fight their way up to becoming a pyrokinetic legend, taking on missions, battling other players and levelling up their abilities so they can unleash more powerful fiery attacks.

Epic’s long-running battle with Apple over the future of Fortnite on iOS devices has taken another turn, with Epic accusing Apple of blocking its Fortnite submission so it can’t release the game to the U.S. App Store.

Earlier this month, Epic boss Tim Sweeney said Fortnite would return to the U.S. iOS App Store and iPhones in a matter of days after a significant court ruling.

On April 30, a U.S. Federal District Court in California found that Apple wilfully violated a court order in the Epic Games v. Apple case that required Apple to enable developers to offer their customers alternative ways to make purchases outside apps.

Nintendo has published a list of Switch 1 games that will get a free performance upgrade on Switch 2, and revealed what fans can expect in terms of improvements.

Games such as Arms, Pokémon Scarlet & Pokémon Violet, Super Mario Odyssey, and The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom are all set for performance improvements on Switch 2.

Here's Nintendo's official blurb, from the official Nintendo website:

By connecting your Nintendo Switch 2 to the internet and performing a system update, you can download free updates for selected games that may improve graphics or add support for features such as GameShare. The contents of these free updates will differ depending on the game.

To be clear, these upgrades are free, and are not the same as the Nintendo Switch 2 Edition games, which are premium upgrades (or, in the case of The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom, free upgrades to Nintendo Switch Online subscribers).

So, what can Switch 2 owners expect? Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet, for example, get an “improved image quality” for high-resolution TVs and an “improved” framerate for “smoother movement.”

Super Mario Odyssey, on the other hand, gets HDR support and GameShare support, so two people can play together online, with one player controlling Mario and the other controlling Cappy. All the details are below.

Interestingly, Nintendo's list does not mention framerate fixes for the two top-down Zelda games, which is a strange and disappointing omission given their performance problems.

Be sure to check out our interview with Nintendo of America President Doug Bowser to find out more about the just-opened Nintendo San Francisco store, and all things Nintendo Switch.

Here’s the list of free updates for selected Nintendo Switch games:

How to Redeem Codes in Anime Last Stand

Follow the steps below to redeem codes in Anime Last Stand:

1. Launch Anime Last Stand in Roblox
2. Click on "Codes" in the left-hand sidebar
3. Type or paste in your code into the "Code here..." field
4. Click "Redeem"

You can redeem codes from the lobby in Anime Last Stand. When you're in the game, look at the tabs on the left-hand side of the screen. Amongst these, you'll see one labelled "Codes".

If it's valid, you'll see the rewards you gained flash below the bar in green text. If it's invalid, you'll get a message that the code has already been claimed or isn't valid in yellow text.

Why Isn't My Anime Last Stand Code Working?

If you're getting an Invalid error when putting in your code, make sure the code is spelt correctly, all the letters are in the right case and you've included any required punctuation. You can copy and paste the codes on this page over to Anime Last Stand if you want to make sure you aren't typing them incorrectly. If they still aren't working, there's a chance that they might only be usable on an updated server. Jump to another server and try them there to see if that fixes the issue.

What Can You Get With Anime Last Stand Code Rewards?

When redeeming a code in ALS, you'll earn a variety of rewards. But what are these rewards used for? Below, we've listed all the resources you'll earn from codes and where to use them.

• Emeralds - A currency used to request new units at the Summon counter, so you can add to your roster of characters.
• Rerolls - A currency used to roll for new buffs you can add to your units at the Technique counter.
• Shells - An event currency used purchase items from the Event Merchant. When speaking to them, you can buy exclusive units and cosmetics.
• Dragon Scales - A currency used in the Dragons vs Hunters event. When speaking to the Hunters merchant, you can use Dragon Scales to buy items from the shop.

How to Get Other Free Rewards in Anime Last Stand

As with a lot of Roblox games, Anime Last Stand has multiple other ways to get free rewards outside of codes. The best method is to spend some time in its AFK World, where you'll accrue free rewards by leaving the game on while you aren't playing. If you're in AFK World, you'll slowly earn Emeralds and Gold, which you can claim before you leave and then use in-game. If you're looking to hop into AFK World and earn some bonuses for your next session, here's what you have to do.

Boot up the game, load into a server and then look in the northeast corner of the plaza you spawn in. You'll see a waterfall with the words AFK above it. Make your way over to this waterfall and, as you approach it, a text box will appear asking you if you want to go into the AFK chamber. Select yes and you'll reach the AFK screen. Here you can see how many Emeralds and how much Gold you've earned, as well as how long you have before your next supply of rewards comes in. When you're ready to leave or get back to the game, press the Claim button to add all of your accumulated rewards to your account.

You can also make sure visit the game once a day to recieve the daily login reward. As soon as you boot up Anime Last Stand, you'll be met with a tab showing all the rewards you'll recieve for visiting the game each day. Simply press the claim button at the bottom of this tab to add the current login reward to your inventory. These range from emeralds to EXP, so it's well worth dropping in at least once each day to claim some additional resources for when you next play.

Another way to bag quick free rewards is to complete your daily quests. Amongst the tabs on the left-hand side of the screen, you'll see a Quests tab. Press it and a page will appear showing a list of daily quests to complete. These range from logging in to killing a set number of enemies. Once you complete these quests, head back into the tab and click the complete button to get a bunch of free resources and currency.

When Do New Anime Last Stand Codes Drop?

New Anime Last Stand codes drop whenever the game receives an update or hits an important milestone. That means you can usually expect codes every week. You can keep track of all the updates that hit the game in the official Anime Last Stand Discord.
