    April Fools’ 2026: a flippin’ good joke.

    Unfair Flips, the coin flipping game that garnered a vibrant speedrunning community, is getting a fun, temporary twist: all flips in the game will now be fair. “For the next 24 hours, YOU can test your TRUE mettle in coin flipping,” developer Heather Flowers says. “No more probability, just pure skill.”

    April Fools’ 2026: Pocketpair’s joke that never ends.

    The Palworld developer continues to insist that its dating sim spinoff is indeed a real game that you’ll be able to play. There’s even a new video to prove it. And while the game doesn’t have a release date, the studio says it’s coming “soon… we promise.”

    I’m concerned about Krypto.

    Supergirl continues to look very Guardians of the Galaxy-inspired in its latest trailer, which makes it clear just how important Krypto the dog will be to the story. The Superman follow-up hits theaters on June 26th.

    Some fear to start your day.

    Apple TV has a big lineup of new series this year, and one of the more notable is Cape Fear, inspired by Martin Scorsese’s ‘90s film of the same name (which was itself a remake). If nothing else, the cast looks great, and you can check out the first teaser below.

    It’s-a big week for Mario.

    Super Mario Bros. Wonder just got an expansion, and the Super Mario Galaxy Movie comes out on Wednesday. But before that Mario Kart World’s new update adds the returning favorite “Bob-omb Blast” battle mode. The update also nerfs boomerangs — you can check out the full patch notes here.

    A good start for Rocky and Grace.

    Project Hail Mary has surpassed $300 million at the box office, making it the highest grossing Amazon MGM film to date — though that doesn’t count MGM movies prior to the acquisition. Still, it’s a great sign for an original sci-fi film, even if it may end up becoming a franchise.

    Live-service games continue to be a mess.

    The latest casualty: PUBG spinoff Blindspot, which shuts down today after less than two months in early access. In a previous post, the developer said “we are no longer able to sustainably provide the level of experience we set out to deliver.” The news comes just a few days after the Fortnite team was hit with large-scale layoffs.
