The highly anticipated RPG, The Wayward Realms, intended to compete with Elder Scrolls 6, is switching game engines. Developer OnceLost Games has decided to move away from Unreal Engine 5 and build their own custom engine. According to the game’s creative director (in a YouTube video), while Unreal Engine 5 is good for many games, it doesn’t quite fit the needs of The Wayward Realms.
Most fans know The Clone Wars as the animated series that ran for seven seasons, fitting between the films Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith. However, it’s also the name of a 2008 movie that came out before the series and first introduced the character Ahsoka Tano.
Okay, so I just saw the trailer for Ready or Not 2: Here I Come, and honestly, the title is perfect. I’m really excited about this one! It hits theaters April 10, 2026, but if I were the studio, I’d release it in January – we need a fun, over-the-top movie to balance out all the serious Oscar bait like Hamnet. From what I can tell, it’s basically more of the same hide-and-seek craziness, which is exactly what I want. Grace is back after surviving the Le Domas family, but now she’s facing off against a whole bunch of even more powerful families – the ‘high council,’ as Elijah Wood’s character snidely puts it. Plus, she’s gotta protect her little sister, played by Kathryn Newton, which adds another layer of tension. And the cast? Amazing! Sarah Michelle Gellar is in it (yes!), Shawn Hatosy from The Pitt (another win!), Néstor Carbonell (seriously, that man doesn’t age!), and even David Cronenberg! There’s something so satisfying about these movies – like when Sarah Michelle Gellar straight-up stabs Sam Weaving in the trailer – that keeps them from taking themselves too seriously. It’s just a good time, and that’s what I love about it.
The animated series Arcane concluded its second season in 2024, and plans are underway for several spinoffs. The show centers on the rivalry between the wealthy city of Piltover and the developing, impoverished nation of Zaun, complicated by outside influences and the groundbreaking research of scientists exploring the potential of a mysterious energy source called Arcane.
At the film’s conclusion, Sam chooses to take on the role, but will do things his way. So far, he’s only enlisted his friend, Joaquin Torres—the new Falcon in the Marvel Cinematic Universe—to join his Avengers team. For a long time, the rest of the team remained a secret, especially with little news about the next big threat. But that might be changing now.
Mark well, dear reader, the Shibarium bridge was exploited in the fateful month of September, in an attack valued at a princely sum of $2.3-$2.4 million! The miscreant seized a super-majority of validator keys and made off with treasures including ETH, SHIB, and KNINE. The K9 Finance DAO, Shibarium’s liquid-staking partner, did launch a bounty process, starting at a modest 5 ETH, then escalating to a 20 ETH smart-contract offer, and finally to a grand 25 ETH proposal endorsed by the Shiba Inu team itself. Yet, the exploiter, in a fit of pride or folly, did reject this offer. K9 Finance hath since confirmed that the unclaimed ETH in the bounty contract hath been returned to the contributors, with Shib.io receiving back 20 ETH. A tale of greed and missed opportunities, indeed! 🤑💨
Pluribus is a hugely popular show right now, centered around a thrilling story: a mind virus is connecting everyone’s thoughts, except for a few unlikely individuals who might be the key to saving the world.
Felton recently debuted in The Cursed Child, resulting in the audience of the Lyric Theater screaming in joy. Like the rest of the Harry Potter cast he grew up before our eyes, and now he’s playing an adult version of Draco on Broadway. In a video for TodayTix, the 38 year-old actor spoke about how methodical he’s been about once again wielding a wand on stage. As he told it:
Octopath Traveler 0 is a console and PC version of the mobile game Octopath Traveler: Champions of the Continent (2022), but it’s been significantly redesigned. It removes the random character recruitment system and in-app purchases found in the mobile version, letting you unlock characters through gameplay. This version boasts over 30 playable characters – the most in the series – and features a completely revamped story and combat system, delivering a full RPG experience designed for consoles and PC.
CD Projekt’s Marcin Momot has explained that the recent post wasn’t hinting at any new announcements. The team regularly shares these posts monthly to commemorate birthdays of characters from Cyberpunk, and this time they also included December 10th to mark the game’s fifth anniversary.
