Last week, Remedy published its latest and final major update for FBC: Firebreak. In less than a year since release, Firebreak will no longer be supported with any major updates or new content. This may come as a shock to some, but for others, the graveyard littered with other live service games tells a different story: that the writing was on the wall all along.

It’s not often I’m at a loss for words after one episode but Journal with Witch managed to do just that. It tugged on my heartstrings in a painful way I wasn’t expecting, and yet still left me with an upbeat message.

As we ring in the new year and update our calendars, it's time to look forward to what new video game titles will be released this year. With big anniversaries this year such as Castlevania and Zelda’s 40th, and Xbox’s 25th to name a few, video game fans know there will at least be something to look forward to this year.

We have all met someone we wanted to punch in the face. Someone who thought there would never be repercussions for their words or actions. Someone who needed to be humbled to be a better person. Unfortunately for most, that moment tends to stay in our imagination, and we are never able to act on it. The new fall season anime May I Ask for One Final Thing? sets up this exact premise, but with one change.

A new title was added to Shonen Jump’s lineup this past weekend. Joining its ranks is Embers by Kei Kurumazaki and Sotaro Nishii. While there are several exorcist, comedy, and action titles already in serialization, there is only one other sports manga which is the sports/romance series Blue Box.

2025 certainly has no shortage of games lined up for fans of all genres for those looking for something new to dive into. While Naughty Dog wants to shove yet another The Last of Us Part II Remastered edition down our throat, let's discuss titles that people actually want to play that will be releasing soon. Here are five games I’m particularly looking forward to this year!
