Being an anime fan can feel like a divine test of patience. Licensing headaches, region locks, vanishing titles; someone should really ask Santa to convince every studio and publisher to finally get on the same page, even if it means we swallow yet another subscription fee. A miracle feels overdue. If not for the sake of fandom, then at least for Jesus and Buddha in Saint Young Men, whose hysterical, holy-roommate hijinks still aren’t legally available to watch in the U.S. At its heart, Saint Young Men is just about Jesus and Buddha kicking back in a tiny Tokyo apartment,…

Divinity was one of the biggest reveals at the Game Awards 2025. Hell, there was an entire demonic statue sitting in the desert for over a week to get people hyped. Actors were paid to sit in the front row of the showcase and get lifted into the air on pulleys to introduce the game’s first trailer. But what is it and why should you care? Here’s the little we know so far about Larian Studios’ next major RPG. What is Divinity?  It’s a new game from Larian Studios, most famous for the acclaimed 2023 hit RPG Baldur’s Gate 3. Like that…

Last night, I watched all three-and-a-half hours of 2025’s The Game Awards, keeping track of all the winners and taking note of all the new game announcements that piqued my interest. But when voice actor Jennifer English took the stage to accept the Best Performance award for her role in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, I was shocked.

By the time Clair Obscur developers from Sandfall Interactive took the stage to accept their Game of the Year Award…

Some players used said zipline to get out of bounds, something the game has been…

Just two years after winning Game of the Year for Baldur’s Gate 3, Larian Studios is wasting no time showing off its next project to the world. It teased its next RPG at the Game Awards and it can’t come soon enough. It’s called Divinity and it promises to be “even larger” than Baldur’s Gate 3. The reveal follows a multi-week guessing game linked to a mysterious statue that recently appeared in the California desert.
