Crunchyroll is hosting a big sale on thousands of manga titles, giving fans a chance to save 30% on popular series and rising stars in the print scene. You won't want to dawdle on this promotion either, as it ends March 15 at 11:59 PT. While plenty of traditional manga paperbacks have gotten big price reductions, it's the deluxe editions and box sets where the discounts shave a substantial amount off the regular price for these collector's editions. Crunchyroll is also offering free shipping in the continental US for orders of $75 or more.

Some of the best deals in Crunchyroll's sale are for Deluxe Edition manga releases. While every publisher has their own standard for what qualifies as a "deluxe" release, generally, these are far better than your average paperback. While standard edition paperback manga offers a pocket-friendly format, the books also use lower-grade paper and print quality, and often include no extras. Deluxe Editions, on the other hand, offer a larger format so you can better see the art, as well as higher-quality paper and hardcover binding for a more premium look and feel. Many also include extras, such as interviews with series creators, bonus illustrations, and more.

As Xbox has continued to stumble in recent years, the future of the console has been in question. Most recently thanks to the "This is an Xbox" campaign, which tried to paint just about every piece of consumer electronics with a screen as a potential Xbox, despite there being two actual, dedicated Xbox consoles that we imagine Microsoft would be interested in selling. Whether or not Microsoft would even make a successor to the Xbox Series consoles was in doubt until newly-anointed Microsoft Gaming CEO Asha Sharma confirmed via X that the system is indeed in development, as well as offering up its code name--Project Helix. She also confirmed that it will play both Xbox and PC games and "will lead in performance." Even with this announcement, though, the future of Microsoft hardware is still in doubt.

In this post, we're rounding up everything we know about the next Xbox, codenamed Project Helix, and what that console might look like. Keep checking back for more as we update this post as new information comes to light the closer we get to an eventual release date--sooner rather than later, we hope.

• Project Helix Release Date Speculation

Microsoft hasn't revealed an expected price range or release date for Project Helix, but we can make some guesses given the current market situation and some things Microsoft higher-ups have said. We're right in the middle of a huge shortage of RAM and SSD storage, and memory prices have doubled and worse across the market. This will affect both when Microsoft can release the console and what price point they can release at.

Season 2 Reloaded is live in Call of Duty: Black Ops 7, bringing the brand-new Paradox Junction map to Zombies mode. Paradox Junction is set on Treyarch's iconic Nuketown map, and it features the Blundergat Wonder Weapon originally introduced with Black Ops 2's Mob of the Dead map. In this guide, we'll show you how to gather the barrel, sealant, stock, and hammer parts needed to build the Blundergat Wonder Weapon, as well as how to upgrade it to the Sundergat.

• How to find all parts for the Blundergat Wonder Weapon

The Blundergat is a craftable shotgun Wonder Weapon in Paradox Junction, and the weapon parts can be obtained in any order. You can skip around this guide and collect them however you choose, but we'll be explaining this in our recommended order.

The four parts are as follows:

The Regent is one of the two new characters in Slay the Spire 2, and while their power is undeniable, the character can also be pretty confusing to use. In addition to the regular gameplay mechanics in Slay the Spire 2, The Regent offers some new mechanics that change up your entire run. This can make building out your deck and choosing Relics more complicated than you're used to.

Whether you're struggling with The Regent or you just want some advice on how to build out the character in Slay the Spire 2, you're in the right place. Below, we'll go through the best deck, Relics, and strategies to use with The Regent.

A majority of the best builds for The Regent revolve around the Stars mechanic. This is unique to the character, and it encompasses most of what The Regent has to offer in Slay the Spire 2.

Peak was such a breakout hit that Aggro Crab’s Game Developers Conference talk was packed 30 minutes before it was scheduled to begin. Aggro Crab studio head Nick Kaman took that time to answer questions from a crowd eager to learn more about the biggest friendslop game of 2026.

One of the first things brought up was, why BBNO$? The artist behind Lalala and edamame made an unexpected appearance on the base of the mountain for a concert last year.

"We wanted to have a parody of a Fortnite concert, but what if it was bad?" Kaman said jokingly.

Sucker Punch Productions’ Ghost of Yotei is already an ambitious open-world adventure that builds on its predecessor in several ways, but the team had a number of other ideas that never made the final game. At GDC, the studio’s two creative directors discussed both the features that made it into the game and some ambitious concepts that didn’t.

From mechanics that would have let players climb anywhere to dual-timelines and a fully diegetic map system, Ghost of Yotei began as a game full of possibilities. Some ideas proved too large to implement fully, but they still influenced the final experience, leaving traces of that ambition in the game’s narrative and design.

One of the most ambitious features was the ability to switch between young and old Atsu at any point in the game. This would have created two versions of the world simultaneously, meaning the entire map would need to have versions in spring and winter.

2016's The Nice Guys starring Ryan Gosling and Russell Crowe, from Iron Man 3 director Shane Black, got solid reviews and was generally enjoyed by fans. People wanted to see a sequel, but it never happened. Why? Gosling said recently that, although The Nice Guys would go on to make more than $71 million worldwide against a reported $50 million budget, it got beaten badly by The Angry Birds Movie in its first weekend, and that matters in Hollywood.

The Nice Guys made $11.2 million in the US over its first weekend, compared to $38.2 million for The Angry Birds Movie. Gosling, whose last name is another word for a baby bird, said during press for Project Hail Mary, "We got killed by Angry Birds."

"[The Nice Guys] came out at the same time as Angry Birds, and Angry Birds just destroyed us," Gosling told Letterboxd, shaking his head. "They're just so angry."

Thirteen years ago, the original Bravely Default made its debut on 3DS, and was recently resurrected with Bravely Default: Flying Fairy HD Remaster last year. The remastered version was a Switch 2-exclusive launch title, but now, Square Enix has shadow-dropped Bravely Default: Flying Fairy HD Remaster for PC and Xbox Series X|S. The game is available on both platforms--and if you're a Green Man Gaming XP member, you can grab the PC version right now for $32, or 20% off the standard $40 price. GMG XP is GMG's free rewards membership program, and joining gets you immediate access to this discounted price, as well as other member-exclusive discounts on other games in the retailer's catalog. Note that purchasing the game via GMG gets you an official key redeemable on Steam.

Like the original 3DS version, Bravely Default: Flying Fairy HD Remastered is an homage to classic console RPGs, especially the early Final Fantasy titles--complete with turn-based battles, a deep job system for customizing your party, and an epic high-fantasy storyline. In addition to high-definition graphics, the Flying Fairy HD Remaster features a redesigned user interface, fast-forward cut-scene support, and other networking refinements. Although some of the graphics from the original have been altered for this release, it should still be recognizable to fans of the game.
