Dune Prophecy’s first season came to a dramatic conclusion last year, and HBO has already confirmed the show will be returning for a second. Details are yet to be confirmed, but we likely won't see the story continue until at least 2026. In the meantime, if you’re interested in bringing the first batch of episodes to your home theater collection, you’ll find Dune Prophecy: The Complete First Season (4K Blu-ray) up for preorder. The Blu-ray releases on April 15, and locking in a preorder at Amazon makes you eligible for any price cuts between now and then--and you won’t pay a dime until it ships.

Dune Prophecy: The Complete First Season (4K Blu-ray) $32

Set 10,000 years before the events of Dune, Dune Prophecy explores the conflict between two Harkonnen sisters. Along with setting the story for the hit movies, it also covers the founding of the Bene Gesserit. Inspired by the novel Sisterhood of Dune (written by Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson), it’s an easy recommendation for fans of the original novels or two impressive movie adaptations. Bonus features are yet to be announced, but expect to see various behind-the-scenes clips and interviews with the crew.

Preorder at Amazon Dune Prophecy: The Complete First Season (Blu-ray) $27

Want to save a few bucks? Pick up the standard Blu-ray version of Dune Prophecy. It should offer all the same bonus features, but the show’s six episodes are offered on Blu-ray instead of 4K UHD.

Want to add even more Dune to your 4K Blu-ray collection? Check out the impressive Dune 2-Film Collection, as it gets you both Dune and Dune: Part Two for just $60. It features 4K and digital versions of both films, plus over an hour of bonus features that explore the creation of the Fremen world, worm-riding, and the sounds of the film. You can also grab 4K standalone versions of Dune: Part 1 and Part 2 if you only need to add one film to your collection.

For something different, you can pick up the Dune adaptation by David Lynch on 4K Blu-ray. Released in 1984, it wasn't reviewed as well as the newer adaptations by Denis Villeneuve, but at $23 it’s a great choice for anyone interested in seeing the story from a different perspective.

Microsoft has added some new updates to the Xbox Rewards program in an effort to foster "positive, age-appropriate gaming experiences." You'll need to be 18 years or older in order to utilize these new updates.

Quests are simple activities that are done in the Xbox ecosystem such as "Play a game" or "Use the Xbox app" and grant points with each completed task. Points can be redeemed for things like Xbox gift cards and donations. They were previously only available to Game Pass Ultimate members, but starting tomorrow, January 7, PC Game Pass members will be able to partake in Quests.

There's also a new requirement of minimum playtime to earn points through gameplay, and currently, Quests are only available for Game Pass titles. This doesn't include games that require third-party launchers or Battle.net. Weekly streaks are back as well, where players can earn points by playing games for at least five days a week. Maintaining your streak week-over-week unlocks point multipliers up to 4x.

Anyone looking to cap off a kill with a colorful move in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 can do just that with the Brightmare Bundle, as this allows you to summon a unicorn to help you out. It appears that there are two distinct finishers: a lethal booty belch from the unicorn and a gorier finisher that wouldn't look out of place in a Mortal Kombat game. According to Activision, the rainbow-colored rectal turbulence is the right one, as there is currently a bug with the preview that shows off the incorrect finishing move.

As spotted by Charlie Intel, the preview execution mistakenly shows a player throwing their opponent onto the horn of a unicorn and impaling them. There's still some sparkly back-end blowout involved, but the proper finisher is the one that revolves around fatal fecal fumes.

Activision may have changed the Unicorn bundle finishing move in today's Black Ops 6 update.
A comparison of the old one (fart move) and the new preview move. As of now, it's still doing the fart move in-game, but the preview is a different move.

Unicorn cheek-squeaks are just the tip of the iceberg in the landscape of modern-day Call of Duty. The franchise has become a hub for crossovers, and the collaboration has seen the launch of new Squid Game-themed multiplayer modes and skins. In terms of overall silliness, the Brightmare Bundle is tame when compared to Call of Duty's marijuana-themed events, including the recent launch of stoner-lizard DLC and even a Cheech and Chong crossover in the past.

A newly unsurfaced and translated interview reveals more information about how the Mario franchise's iconic pipes came to be, and there is a pretty simple explanation for it.

Mario creator Shigeru Miyamoto told Game Maestro in 2000, and translated more recently by Shmuplations, that although the first Mario Bros. game established Mario as a plumber, the idea for pipes didn't come until later. Miyamoto said he was walking down the street in Kyoto one day and "saw a plastic pipe sticking out of a wall." This helped Miyamoto solve a design challenge, and thus the iconic warp pipe was born.

"Due to the way the screens worked, enemies that went to the bottom had to re-appear at the top of the screen. So that got us thinking, OK, we need a path or some way for them to get back up there. Then one day I happened to be walking through the streets of Kyoto, and I saw a plastic pipe sticking out of a wall," he said (via GamesRadar).

Wordle has exploded in popularity since The New York Times purchased the word game from its creator, Josh Wardle, in early 2022. The 1,000th Wordle game was played in early 2024, and it still retains a large audience. Now, the New York Times has revealed which word tripped up millions of Wordle players in 2024.

According to Today, 5.6 million Wordle streaks ended on October 15, 2024. The word chosen for that day was "corer," which can refer to either a knife that's used for coring fruits or a large hollow cylindrical drill/tube that's primarily made for extracting samples of rocks or dirt from the ground or the ocean floor.

The outcome of that puzzle doesn't seem to have had an adverse affect on Wordle's numbers. The New York Times even debuted a math version of Wordle last year, which is called Digits. That game invites players to use six numbers or digits to reach a single set number as the final result. Players can choose whether to add, subtract, multiply, or divide their numbers as needed as long as the correct result is reached.

Drip, drip, drip. The Nintendo Switch 2 leaks keep coming, as this time uncofirmed images of a retail-model left Joy-Con for the upcoming console appeared online over the weekend. In addition, fans believe they've discovered an unexpected feature for the new Joy-Cons after poring over the pictures: mouse functionality.

The three new Switch 2 Joy-Con images popped up on Reddit over the weekend, allegedly from a Chinese factory, showcasing a black controller with a light-blue interior. VGC then reported that eagle-eyed fans believe they've spotted an optical sensor on the side of the Joy-Con. That would mean the controller could function like a PC mouse, offering a new method to play Switch 2 games. Supposedly, shipping data for Switch 2 also points to mouse-like functionality, per another Reddit post.

If true, Switch 2 wouldn't be the first gaming handheld to offer mouse-like features built into the device. The Lenovo Legion Go has detachable controllers like the Switch, with the right gamepad able to function like a mouse.

It seems like the next Xbox console might be arriving a little earlier than expected, and it may already have a name.

According to Call of Duty leaker TheGhostOfHope, Microsoft is reportedly launching the next Xbox console in 2026 alongside Infinity Ward's next Call of Duty game. The console is reportedly called "Xbox Prime" but it's unclear whether that's the final name or just a code name.

The leaker added that Microsoft's rumored handheld will be releasing after the next console, but didn't specify whether that'd still be in 2026 or sometime in 2027.

Andy Gavin, one of the co-founders of Naughty Dog, has explained why the company sold itself to Sony back in 2001. Posting on LinkedIn, Gavin said he's been asked "countless times" why Naughty Dog took the deal, and it was all about rising development costs.

Gavin said (via SI) when Naughty Dog first started making games in the 1980s, game development costs were "manageable," with costs for games made in the early '80s running about $50,000 per game. For 1992's Rings of Power, Naughty Dog spent about $100,000. For the first Crash Bandicoot game, however, costs rose to $1.6 million, with Jak and Daxter (2001) coming in at $15 million or more. Just a few years later, Jak 3's development cost came in at between $45 million and $50 million.

Naughty Dog was self-funding all of its projects at this time, and the stress about "financing these ballooning budgets independently" became too much to bear. Gavin said rising development costs is a "systemic issue" to this day in the video game industry.

Microsoft has doubled down on its plan to invest $80 billion into artificial technologies in 2025, while at the same time admitting that advancements to the technology will lead to job losses. This was always expected to be the case in some sectors, but Microsoft is now coming out and saying it directly.

In a blog post, Microsoft president Brad Smith said, "AI, like all new technologies, will disrupt the economy and displace some jobs." Electronic Arts CEO Andrew Wilson has said the same thing. Smith, like Wilson before him, went on to say that, although AI might take some jobs, it will create new ones as well and that the "opportunities" from AI "outweigh many of the challenges ahead."

"If used well, AI will help lower the barriers to entry for many professions, replace rote tasks, and create a foundation for human creativity that builds on AI tools. AI will create new economic opportunities, allowing entrepreneurs to start new businesses and create new jobs. Along the way, AI can boost productivity in every sector of the economy, adding to the country's opportunity for economic growth," Smith said.

Paramount Pictures has announced that the Sonic the Hedgehog film franchise has earned more than $1 billion at the global box office. The movie franchise--based on Sega's long-running video game series--kicked off back in February 2020 and has since expanded with two sequels, a TV spin-off series starring Knuckles, and a cameo appearance for the original "Ugly Sonic" in Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers.

The first movie grossed over $319 million worldwide, and its 2022 sequel made over $405 million. The threequel has earned $336 million at the global box office so far (via Box Office Mojo). This isn't the first film series to reach this milestone at the box office, as The Super Mario Bros. Movie ($1.36 billion) and the Resident Evil movies ($1.2 billion) have also been commercial success stories.

"The Sonic the Hedgehog franchise has become an unstoppable cultural force with limitless potential," Paramount Pictures President and CEO Brian Robbins said in a press statement. "As each chapter of Sonic's adventures continues to raise the bar, we're incredibly proud and excited to continue delivering stories and characters that resonate with audiences around the world."

All four sets initially launched in October as Lego Store exclusives, but now you'll start seeing them on store shelves--as long as they remain in stock, of course. The Fortnite Battle Bus is the No. 1 best-selling new Lego set at Amazon right now, and Walmart is currently sold out of units. It's also worth mentioning that My Best Buy Plus/Total members can save 10% on the new Fortnite Lego sets.

Zelda fans can now get the Great Deku Tree Lego set at major retailers. Launched last September as a Lego Store exclusive, the first building set based on The Legend of Zelda is now available at Amazon, Best Buy, Walmart, and Target. The superb 2,500-piece Great Deku Tree Display Model is a 2-in-1 package that lets fans build the Deku Tree as depicted in Breath of the Wild or Ocarina of Time.

Buy The Great Deku Tree Lego Set at:

• Amazon
• Best Buy
• Walmart
• Target
• Lego Store

It's worth noting the Great Deku Tree is currently on backorder from the Lego Store and won't ship for two months, so it's certainly possible other retailers will sell out, too. As of now, all major retailers have the Great Deku Tree in stock and can ship it now. Lego The Legend of Zelda: Great Deku Tree costs $300, but My Best Buy Plus/Total members save 10%, which drops the price down to $270. My Best Buy Plus costs $50/year, so new members will already be getting $30 of that fee back with this one purchase. All in-stock Lego sets are eligible for this perk, including the brand-new Mario Kart lineup. The Lego Mario Kart lineup is more budget friendly, with all six vehicle playsets adding up to $220. If you bought all of the Mario Kart sets and the new Zelda set, the membership will be fully paid off.

Three new Sonic the Hedgehog Lego sets have dashed onto store shelves this month. The largest of the three is a $45 playset inspired by Sonic X Shadow Generations and features Super versions of the two hedgehogs. Tails fans can pilot his Cyclone mech in a battle against Metal Sonic in a new $30 set. Lego has also brought the speed sphere launcher in Sonic's Campfire Clash, a $20 playset that features regular Sonic.

• Lego Sonic - Sonic’s Campfire Clash (177 pieces) -- $20
• Lego Sonic - Super Shadow vs. Biolizard (419 pieces) -- $45
• Lego Sonic - Cyclone vs. Metal Sonic (290 pieces) -- $30

The new Sonic Lego sets are just a few of the video game-inspired launches this month. You can also get new Lego sets themed around Mario Kart, Animal Crossing, and Minecraft. Additionally, The Legend of Zelda's Great Deku Tree 2-in-1 Lego Display Model is now available at major retailers, including Amazon.

This is the most affordable of the trio, though it's still packed with some cool interactive features. Along with four figures (Sonic, G.U.N. Beetle, G.U.N. Hunter, and a Tocky), you’ll get to build a speed sphere launcher that sends Sonic hurtling forward to zoom past enemies. Toss in three Gold Rings and a few other accessories, and it’s a nice little playset for 20 bucks.

Face off against the angry Biolizard with this 419-piece set. You’ll get to create a posable Biolizard, a speed sphere launcher, and play with minifigures for Super Shadow and Super Sonic. There’s also a detachable pod that connects to the Biolizard’s back, which contains a Chaos Emerald for Sonic to collect.

Piece together a Cyclone for Tails to pilot, complete with a set of tools so you can perform “maintenance” before heading into battle. Featuring articulated legs, a stud shooter, and a hidden compartment for a Chaos Emerald, it offers a wealth of features and stands over 5.5 inches tall despite using only 290 bricks across the entire set. Beyond a Tails minifigure and buildable mech, you’ll get a Metal Sonic minifigure to battle. Metal Sonic is indeed more terrifying than the Biolizard.

The trio of new Sonic Lego sets join an already impressive lineup of playsets and display models themed around the Sega mascot. Sonic made his first appearance in the Lego Ideas line back in 2022 with the Green Hill Zone Display Model shown above. The 1,125-piece set recreates the iconic first zone from the original Sega Genesis game. It remains the largest Sonic Lego set, and it's also available for the biggest discount right now. Amazon and Walmart are selling Lego Sonic Green Hill Zone for 30% off.

Last fall, a 720-piece Shadow the Hedgehog Display Model released for $70 exclusively at the Lego Store and Target. The rest of the Lego Sonic products are playsets like the new ones or Brickheadz figures. Several Sonic Lego sets are retiring soon and are already sold out at multiple retailers.

Most notably, if you want the Green Hill Zone Loop Challenge, you should grab it while Best Buy still has units for $81 (was $100). The 802-piece playset is sold out at other major retailers.

Meanwhile, Barnes & Noble has four other soon-to-be retired Sonic Lego sets for retail price: Dr. Eggman's Death Egg Robot for $60, Tails' Workshop for $40, Amy's Animal Rescue Island for $50, and Sonic's Speed Sphere Challenge for $35. That last one is fairly similar to Campfire Clash.

The original Guitar Hero debuted in November 2005, but the franchise has been in a lull for a long time. The last game, Guitar Hero Live, arrived in 2015 and there hasn't been any concrete word about a new title since. However, the Guitar Hero fandom lives on in 2025, and there's a new controller coming to the Wii later this month.

Hyperkin has announced that an updated version of the company's Wii Guitar is up for preorder ahead of its release date, January 8. It's called the Hyper Strummer, and it includes support for Wii's Guitar Hero and Rock Band titles, with the exception of the first Rock Band game.

New Year, New Wii... Guitars. Introducing the HYPER STRUMMER! An updated model of our previous Wii Guitar, we have been working hard and wanted to give you a little surprise of what is to come this year! The HyperStrummer is set to pre orders start NOW! pic.twitter.com/e82FJN6bCk

— Hyperkin (@Hyperkin) January 1, 2025 See on Amazon

At $77, the Hyper Strummer is somewhat pricey. But it was made to resemble the classic Guitar Hero controllers. It's also powered by the Wii remote, so players won't need to pickup any batteries for this controller. It's unclear how many Guitar Hero or Rock Band players are still using the Wii in 2025, but presumably Hyperkin took that into account before committing to this project.

The Warrior is a classic ARPG class that features some ground-shattering skills in Path of Exile 2. However, in the beginning stages of early access, many players are already calling for buffs to the Warrior due to the sluggishness of its abilities and weaker attacks in the endgame. While the Warrior very well may get buffed in the future, its currently designed for more advanced Path of Exile players.

Of course, if you follow the right build guide, it won't matter how much time you have played in the series. Below, you'll find the only viable Warrior build in the current state of Path of Exile 2.

Warrior Overview in Path of Exile 2

As you might expect, the Warrior is the definition of a melee class in Path of Exile 2. The class' main damage dealers are two-handed weapons like mauls and maces, which each come with skills of their own. However, players are allowed to switch things up and make use of a one-handed weapon along with a shield if they're looking to play more defensively. Shields also has its own defensive skill that allows you to block attacks, but you won't deal as much damage with this kind of build.

A designer on The Rise of the Golden Idol has announced his own game, City of Voices. The game is a collaboration between his own studio, Kimi Games, and pixel artist Matt Frith. It's billed as a "Rise of the Golden Idol-like."

According to the game's Steam page, it follows a young girl in England who gets bullied at school. City of Voices starts as a typical slice-of-life adventure before transforming into something more fantastical. Like in The Rise of the Golden Idol, players will have to investigate clues that are stuck frozen in time in order to put together the events that have taken place.

Designer Will Ackermann said that he already spoke to the other developers on The Rise of the Golden Idol, Andrejs and Ernests Kļaviņš. Ackermann got the green light from them to implement similar deduction gameplay mechanics found in the game for City of Voices.

It's a big day for Call of Duty, as the new Squid Game collaboration launches today, January 3, alongside a significant update across Black Ops 6 and Warzone. Activision has now posted the full patch notes, revealing all the significant changes and updates--and there are many.

Across Black Ops 6, Zombies, and Warzone, all mantle speeds have been increased, while doors can now be opened and close while sprinting. Additionally, the Cleaver melee weapon is now available to unlock through the new Squid Game event reward in the new event pass, which costs 1,100 COD Points for the premium track.

Additionally, Activision warned that some players might see their Operator selections and customizations reset with the new update. Activision didn't say why this is occurring or what players can do about it beyond just starting over.

As strange as it may sound, this month's new DC Lego sets includes the first Superman building kit in more than a decade. Superman Mech vs. Lex Luthor, which is exactly what it sounds like, joins a very small list of Superman Lego products. There have been a few minifigure releases, including a Lego keychain that's still available, but as far as actual building sets go, this is the first since Superman vs. Power Armor Lex in 2012. The only other Superman building set is a 2014 Duplo playset. But with the new Superman film hitting theaters this July, the Clark Kent's return to the alien world of Lego couldn't have come at a better time.

Superman Mech vs. Lex Luthor is one of three new DC Lego sets that dropped this month. The other two sets feature Lego mainstay Batman, including a new small-scale playset featuring the Batmobile Tumbler from The Dark Knight.

Each month, Pokemon Go players take part in the mobile game's Community Day: A recurring monthly event in which one Pokemon takes center stage and becomes available to catch in its Shiny form. January's Community Day Pokemon is Sprigatito, but players who want to get their hands on this grassy feline familiar will find themselves paying double the cost of past Community Day events.

Previously, a Community Day Ticket was available to purchase in-game for just $1, but as of this month, that price is doubling to $2. The ticket does include a new reward (a battle pass), but Pokemon Go battle passes can often be found in bundled pairs that cost less.

Other changes have been made to Community Day as well, but Pokemon Go developer Niantic says these changes may not be permanent.
