No actor in the history of cinema has put their body on the line to stop a fake villain, thwart a fake nuclear attack, and entertain vast crowds like Tom Cruise in the Mission: Impossible franchise.

It always felt like Demeo's biggest source of inspiration was Dungeons and Dragons. Bringing a tabletop RPG to PC and virtual reality headsets, its co-op fantasy battling felt like a DnD game in all but name (and official license, of course). Later this year, the seemingly inevitable crossover is going to be realized with Demeo Dungeons and Dragons Battlemarked, and we've just got a first look at gameplay alongside some fresh details about it.

In an attempt to destabilize the soccer game monopoly held by EA FC (previously FIFA), we're seeing plenty of newcomers sprouting up. The likes of UFL and Goals are trying to rival the 11-a-side soccer sim action that EA Sports' behemoth offers. But maybe the secret to creating the next big soccer game isn't in realism, official licenses, and grinding to create a god squad. Rematch takes a more stylized, co-op multiplayer approach, and while I never anticipated it to be one of this year's breakout hits, it's looking like it's going to be. According to developer Sloclap, almost two million players tried out its most recent beta, making it one of the biggest games on Steam during the time it was live.

The Humble Choice games for June 2025 are here, and there are nine total Steam Deck games on offer, compared to the typical eight we expect. This helps offset the slightly lower value of this month's games, with no triple-A titles included in favour of some incredible indie experiences instead.

Whether you're playing on the best gaming handheld on the market in the Steam Deck, or perhaps a more powerful option like the Asus ROG Ally X, each of these games will run without issue, so get them added to your Steam library sooner rather than later.

Tron is a world that I feel constantly surprised by its perseverance in just flat out still being a thing all these years later. And yet, I never feel upset about it given that the vibes of Tron just absolutely rule no matter the context in which they're being delivered, the upcoming Jared Leto led film notwithstanding because of that guy's whole vibe. In terms of what's actually next for the fictitious video game world, there's Tron: Catalyst from the folks over Bithell Games, and as it so happens, there's a demo out for it today!

Last week, I questioned whether MindsEye was a real game or not. This week, that question lingers. Why, you ask? Well, as spotted by our good friends over at Eurogamer, two executives at the studio behind the game, Build a Rocket Boy, have now departed the company. Let me just check when MindsEye is coming out… oh, that's right, literally one week from today. Surely this is only good news!

Let's start this one with a definition: Lethal Company is "one of those kinda games." By that I mean it's a four player co-op title that doesn't really adhere to a particular genre, predominantly prioritising mechanics that allow you and some friends to get up to some shenanigans. Like Content Warning, or REPO, you know, one of those kinda games! Now we've got that out of the way, let me introduce you to Roadside Research, one of those kinda games, except this time you are an incredibly poorly disguised alien running a gas station in order to research humans.

sanrio butts merchandise

Butt lovers, rejoice, for Sanrio will release a series of stickers and hair clips featuring the butts of popular Sanrio characters. Both types of items are available for pre-order via Tees Factory, which does not offer international shipping with its Yahoo store. No US storefronts shared listings for the accessories and decorations yet.

The stickers use a soft material that allegedly makes them fun to touch. You can get stickers for Hello Kitty, Kuromi, My Melody, Cinnamoroll, Pochacco, Pompompurin, and Hangyodon. Pompompurin is the only one who has an X to mark the character's butthole. This is a trait that's present in Pompompurin merchandise and not the others, which is likely the reason no other mascot shares this characteristic. The stickers will cost 660 JPY ($4.60) each, and they will ship out on June 30, 2025.

The character line-up for the hair clips remains the same. Again, Pompompurin is the only one with an X marking his behind, and the hair clip also uses a soft plush-like material. Each one costs 858 JPY ($6). These hair clips are specifically for the left side of your bangs. If you part your hair to the right and you still want to use them, you can, but the design won't look the same. The hair clips will ship out on July 30, 2025.

Here's a closer look at both the stickers and hair clips:

The above characters are all popular mascots who often appear in merchandise or collaborations. In particular, butt hole flasher Pompompurin has been enjoying his time in the spotlight this year. During the 2025 popularity poll, Pompompurin shot past perennial winner Cinnamoroll to first place in the interim results. Sanrio will announce the results of the poll on June 29, 2025. So time will tell if Pompompurin's unique tactic will be enough to usurp Cinnamoroll.

The Sanrio butt collection for its mascots is open for pre-order via Tees Factory's Yahoo storefront.

Kingdom Hearts 2 Sora Form-ism Figure Returns in December

Square Enix announced a second run of the Kingdom Hearts 2 Sora Form-ism figure. It will launch in Japan on December 27, 2025, following the original release in March 2025. It costs 7,480円 (~$52). While pre-orders aren't open on the US storefront yet, there are other figures in the line there and on Amazon.

The Form-ism line involves static figures of characters. These are in a fixed, active pose and feature both Square Enix games and ones from companies like Atlus. (The Nahobino from SMT V is in the line.) Sora is in his standard outfit here, and he's wielding the default Keyblade. He's in the midst of an attack. It stands at about nine inches tall (23cm). 

In case you missed it the first time around, here's a closer look at how this version of Sora looks:

This isn't the only Form-ism Kingdom Hearts statue. Square Enix announced a second one in March 2025. That one is based on Riku, and it also pulls from his Kingdom Hearts 2 design. It is expected to appear in August 2025. 

The next run of the Kingdom Hearts 2 Form-ism Sora figure will launch in December 2025. The game first appeared on the PS2, but now is on the Switch, PS3, PS4, Xbox One, and PC via Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 Remix.

Uniqlo Teasing Studio Ghibli Anime Shirts

The Uniqlo Instagram account teased a new collection of Studio Ghibli anime shirts, and both the Japanese and US accounts are tagged in it. This confirms the new collection of UT graphic t-shirts will appear worldwide. There's no exact date for the collection's debut yet, but the official site is open and checking the exact listings for images seem to mention a late July 2025 window.

Following the first tease, a more in-depth hint at the Studio Ghibli anime shirts in the UT Uniqlo collection appeared on social media and some of the designs appeared. This confirmed it will consist of men's unisex t-shirts and styles for kids. Kanyada is the artist behind all of the art. Eight movies in particular are highlighted, though children's sizes will only appear for four of them. 

Here's the full list of movies that will be part of this collection, in addition to one shirt in the general "Everything Ghibli" section. I also noted when adult and kids' styles will be available.

  • The Boy and the Heron (How Do You Live in Japanese) - adults and kids styles.
  • Howl's Moving Castle - adults and kids styles.
  • Kiki's Delivery Service - adults and kids styles.
  • My Neighbor Totoro - adults and kids styles.
  • Pom Poko - adults styles.
  • Princess Mononoke - adults styles.
  • Spirited Away - adults styles.
  • Tale of the Princess Kaguya - adults styles.

Other movies, such as Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind and Ponyo, are references in the Everything Ghibli design.

And here are all the teaser images for the designs Uniqlo will sell. Adult sizes will be in XS through XXXL, while the kids ones will be in 5-6Y through 13Y. While most items are t-shirts, there are some sweatshirts like for Princess Mononoke and Spirited Away. There are three styles for The Boy and the Heron, with the children's t-shirt looking like the adults design, and there are four My Neighbor Totoro options.

In addition to this collection, in August 2025 there will be Pokemon Trading Card Game shirts at Uniqlo.

The Studio Ghibli adult and kids shirts will be at Uniqlo in the near future, and the movies are streaming on services like HBO Max in the US.

One Piece Dodgers Night Includes Card Game Card

A second One Piece baseball game night is coming up, with a Los Angeles Dodgers game against the Chicago White Sox featuring the manga and anime characters. The tie-in happens at Dodger Stadium at 7:10pm PT on July 3, 2025. This time, the promotion is connected to the One Piece Card Game, with the free giveaway being an exclusive meant for players.

The official MLB site for Dodgers tickets brought up some of the promotions and special events tied to One Piece night. In addition to the card for the game, there will also be straw hats given away and a drone show will take place during the evening. While everyone gets one card per ticket, the hats are only for the first 40,000 people who enter. The cheapest price to get in as of time of writing is $99.10, which includes the $12.10 in additional feels. The most you could end up spending is about $317.10, which includes $22.10 in fees. 

While we don't know what the hat will look like, Toei Animation showed what the card will look like. It features Monkey D. Luffy in a Dodgers uniform. He's got a bat on his back, and a baseball cap on top of his straw hat. He's in the midst of a pitch, which he's throwing using his Gum-Gum Fruit abilities. It also has the "Don!! - 2" ability that kicks in when someone's only played Straw Hat Crew members.

Here's the Luffy Dodgers One Piece Card Game card:

There have been three One Piece game nights already. First, the LA Lakers game against the Clippers honored the anime. In April 2025, the Seattle Mariners game against the Houston Astros involved the crew. The May 2025 Boston Red Sox match against the Minnesota Twins also featured the cast.

The Dodgers One Piece game night takes place on July 3, 2025. The first season of the One Piece live-action adaptation is on Netflix. The anime is streaming on services like Crunchyroll and Netflix. Viz Media handles the manga outside Japan.

Watch the Gundam Wing Anime for Free Now

Bandai Namco announced via the official social media account for the Mobile Suit Gundam series that the original Gundam Wing anime is available to watch for free online for a limited time. It didn't note how long this promotion lasts. However, it confirmed this includes all 49 episodes of the main series, but not the four OVAs. All of this is honor of the 30th anniversary of this installment.

All of the Gundam Wing anime episodes are available for free in a playlist on the official GundamInfo YouTube channel. Specifically, these are the HD remaster episodes of the series. All of them feature Japanese voice acting, but English, Chinese, Korean, and Vietnamese subtitles are available. 

For example, here is the first episode

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=80Fba6_90I4&list=PLJV1h9xQ7Hx8id2TZBKVSeEM7lnOHCPQB&index=2&ab_channel=GundamInfo

While this is a limited free release of the episodes, it is possible to stream them with a subscription on other services. Crunchyroll is the current home of the series. All 49 episodes are there now. So is the Endless Waltz movie

Mobile Suit Gundam Wing is now free to watch on YouTube for a limited time, and the anime is also available for Crunchyroll subscribers. The most recent anime in the series is Gundam GQuuuuuuX, which is only available to watch on Amazon.

New Sonic the Hedgehog Game Is Sonic Blitz

Sega announced its next new Sonic the Hedgehog game is called Sonic Blitz, and it is a card collecting and battling game from Rovio. However, not everyone can play it. Only the technical launch happened. This means it is in limited release, with only people in the Philippines able to play it.

While the game is only available to people in one region at the moment, the product pages on Apple's App Store and Google Play are live. How it works is players build a deck of cards based on classic characters and opponents from the series. Each one has a set number of health and attack power. Major characters can also possess special abilities. During a match, you'll play cards in one of two lanes, then decide if they "dash" at the end of a turn. Up to four cards can be played in each lane. Your goal is to whittle down your opponent's health before yours falls to zero in order to win. 

Since people in the Philippines can play Sonic Blitz now, there are already some videos online showing footage of the new Sonic the Hedgehog game. MDGamestation shared an initial look at how a match works on YouTube.

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/i0PL5cc7vag

There's another new mobile game based on the IP on the way too. However, it's currently delayed. We don't know exactly when Sonic Rumble will debut.

Sonic Blitz is heading to Android and Apple iOS devices, and the technical test for the new Sonic the Hedgehog game is live in the Philippines.

Iowa College Mascot in College Football 26

EA Sports College Football 26 could become one of the biggest sports game launches this year, and we have a fair idea about when the game is going to be available.

As usual, the College Football franchise is going to be exclusive for consoles (bad news, PC players). Those opting for the Digital Deluxe Edition will get to enjoy early access, so let's take a look at when you'll be able to join the party.

EA Sports College Football 26 release date

The upcoming title goes live on July 10, and this year, things are heating up slightly earlier. If you choose to spend extra and get the Digital Deluxe Edition, you can enjoy up to three days of early access that goes live on July 7.

The same privileges are also available if you choose to opt for the MVP bundle. The bundle includes the Digital Deluxe Editions of both College Football 26 and Madden NFL 26 at a discounted price of $149.99.

EA Sports College Football 26 release countdown

The following countdown is based on the release date for the Standard Edition. Once we have confirmation regarding the release date of the early access period, it will be added as a separate countdown on this article.

While EA Sports has yet to put out the exact release timing on social media or their website, the best indicator is the game's official page. Irrespective of whether you opt to purchase for PlayStation or Xbox, the Standard Edition launches at the same time. Here are the launch times for different parts of the world.

Endrick in FC 25

The latest Season End update has added some cool new features to EA FC 25, and it also includes a surprising one: a brand new signature celebration featuring Real Madrid wonderkid Endrick.

The Brazilian has become a popular name since breaking out in the domestic league, and last year saw him make a big switch to Madrid. While he is currently rated at 75 in the game, EA Sports seems to believe in the potential of his talent. Let's take a quick look at how you can perform the new signature celebration.

How to do Endrick's celebrations in EA FC 25

The first job will be to update your game. It's part of Title Update 15, which is now available on all platforms. It will download automatically, so there's no worry. Once done, go to any offline mode of your choice, where you can pick Real Madrid. The easiest option is to start a Kick-Off match and choose Real Madrid.

Make sure Endrick is among your starters. Start the match, and then score a goal with him. Once done, press the X/A button to perform the new signature celebration. Do note that EA Sports has added his Shake Hand celebration. Earlier, his Gorilla Roll was also added to the game but removed shortly after. The developers never explained their decision. Hopefully, this celebration will have a better fate.

https://twitter.com/EASPORTSFC/status/1929946313430360567

Can you perform Endrick's celebration in EA FC 25 Ultimate Team?

As of writing, there's no known way to perform the celebration in Ultimate Team. Only a few Signature celebrations are available to be performed by more than one footballer in the game. For example, the Suii celebration can be performed by any footballer, although it is associated with Cristiano Ronaldo.

You can perform Endrick's celebration in Ultimate Team as long as you play with one of his cards. Eventually, EA Sports could add the celebration as part of the upcoming Season Pass, which will then allow you to unlock and use it freely. However, that remains to be seen as the new season begins on June 5.
