The chess world was stunned in 2022 when Hans Niemann unexpectedly beat world champion Magnus Carlsen at the Sinquefield Cup. Carlsen then left the tournament and publicly accused Niemann of cheating, creating a major scandal that sparked widespread debate within the chess community.
The second season of Marvel Television’s Daredevil: Born Again will start streaming on Disney+ next month. This new season continues the story from the original Netflix series, with Charlie Cox returning as Daredevil and Vincent D’Onofrio reprising his role as Kingpin, both now officially part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
As a huge baseball fan, I’m so excited to see the Negro Leagues returning for its fourth season in MLB The Show 26! This year, they’re adding ten new players to learn about, and four of them will be available right when the game launches. Basically, Negro Leagues Season 4 is packed with incredible legends, and here’s a look at who’s included:
Fans have been eagerly awaiting the return of AMC’s popular supernatural series, Interview with the Vampire, since the season 2 finale aired in June 2024. The next season will center around the main character sharing his life story, and a key part of that will involve him starting a band and going on tour. Recent announcements suggest the wait for new episodes won’t be much longer.
Even though Daredevil: Born Again Season 1 is now on Disney+, getting it there required some concessions. Chris Scadapane discussed this in an interview with SFX magazine.
Despite being a Peacock exclusive and not receiving much initial attention, the horror film Sick, directed by John Hyams, was a critical success, earning an 86% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Many critics praised the film’s timely writing, placing it among the year’s best horror movies, particularly within the slasher genre, alongside titles like Pearl, X, and Terrifier 2.
According to a report in Variety, Disney executives were worried about the reaction to The Mandalorian and Grogu’s Super Bowl ad, which was a parody of the Budweiser Clydesdale commercials. The ad didn’t create the buzz Disney expected, and there’s concern the movie – based on a streaming series – won’t appeal to viewers beyond dedicated Star Wars fans and those who love Grogu (Baby Yoda). However, Disney is feeling more positive about Star Wars: Starfighter, directed by Shawn Levy, set to release in May 2027. Early footage of the Ryan Gosling film reportedly reminded people of the fun, adventurous spirit of classic Star Wars movies.
Initially, the Switch version of Tales of Berseria Remastered was announced as running at 1080p when docked and 720p in handheld mode, targeting 30 frames per second. While Bandai Namco’s technical specifications aren’t always accurate, I’ve confirmed the Switch and Switch 2 versions (through backward compatibility) are indeed limited to 30fps – I had hoped for a higher, uncapped frame rate. Also, the visual details, how far away objects are displayed, and certain animations for plants and characters haven’t been improved over the original PS4 version, and in some cases are actually worse in this remaster. It’s worth noting that the original PS4 version of Tales of Berseria wasn’t enhanced for the PS4 Pro; it ran at 1080p and 60fps on PS4, PS4 Pro, and PS5 through backward compatibility.
On February 25th, the streamer caused some confusion by hinting at an official partnership with Bungie for their new game. He used the hashtag “#marathonpartner” in a post that suggested he would soon be sharing details.
I’ve noticed a huge surge in co-op games lately, and it’s awesome! I think a lot of it has to do with how much everyone loved “It Takes Two.” That game really reminded everyone how fun playing with a friend can be, and it feels like co-op is more popular than ever because of it.
