A third season of beloved 2011 romance anime Kimi ni Todoke - From Me to You will air exclusively on Netflix this August, and the first trailer for the unexpected continuation is so pitch-perfect that it almost feels like it's been no time at all.

The finest democracy spreaders in Helldivers 2 have all but been dancing in the streets on the heels of a big win that saw six planets liberated, two defended, and two sectors captured, and game master Joel has turned up right on cue to put them straight back to work. A new major order has arrived, and it's a doozy. Players have 72 hours to liberate both Fori Prime and Zagon Prime, and they'll get 35 medals if they pull it off.
"With the TCS securing our citizens' lives," the missive from high command begins, "now we can secure their economic future, by culling the Terminid population and harvesting the E-710 they provide."
Liberating two planets may not sound like much, and both are thankfully filled with bugs rather than the often more annoying Automatons, but Fori Prime and Zagon Prime aren't exactly waiting on a silver platter. We're going to have to chew through multiple planets to get to them, and if I'm not mistaken, we only just lost one of them – Estanu.
To reach Fori Prime, the Helldivers 2 community will have to leapfrog off either Estanu or Crimsica. Estanu is the current frontrunner since it's about 41% liberated at the time of writing. Zagon Prime is more daunting. We'll first have to take Hellmire, currently just 0.014% liberated, and then move onto either Oshaune or Nivel 43, and then we can finally assault Zagon Prime.
Joel isn't outright putting the boot in here – this is, technically, doable – but developer Arrowhead clearly isn't messing around either. The response from players has been unnervingly serious, and a far cry from the usual flippant chants. Thankfully, some people still have the energy to role-play as the enemy on Reddit, so not all hope is lost. We're gonna have to democracy the hell out of this one, folks.
With 20 milliseconds to go, brave Helldivers 2 player clutches 45 Samples "outnumbered, surrounded, leg broken, out of stims" after a clown fiesta extract.

Few weapons strike fear into the hearts of Destiny 2 players like the all-timer ensemble of Recluse, The Mountaintop, and Luna's Howl, which defined an entire (miserable) era of the game's history. So the news that these three guns, alongside several other nostalgic favorites, are returning as part of the upcoming Into the Light update was met with a mix of excitement and trepidation. Are we going back to those dark days? No, hopefully. Bungie says these weapons are indeed returning, but not completely game-breaking anymore.
A new premium Helldivers 2 Warbond appropriately called Democratic Detonation is coming Thursday, April 11, and it's got everyone's new favorite Booster.
After tumultuous back and forth, there's a new Major Order to liberate all Automaton planets in Helldivers 2 and crush the bot threat in the Western front. It's looking like the climax for an arc of the Galactic War that's now defined several consecutive weeks of Helldivers 2, and as players continue to spill oil in the name of democracy, the nature and direction of the game's emergent narrative has gotten some timely details straight from developer Arrowhead.
Dead Cells is officially finished after seven years of support, and based on what I've seen of it so far, developer Motion Twin's next game may quickly take its place in the hearts of many fans and join the ranks of the best roguelikes. Windblown is an isometric action roguelike with support for up to three-player co-op, it's hitting PC early access later this year, and it looks like a compelling mix of modern genre staples and Dead Cells DNA.
Just when you think the Helldivers 2 Automaton warfront can't get any worse, the bots bring not one, but two new menaces to the battlefield. As flying Gunships shred players from the skies, new machine walkers called Factory Striders are also flattening democracy enthusiasts down on the ground.
The Witcher 4, the best working name we have for the currently untitled project Polaris, will introduce "gameplay elements and new mechanics" not seen in the previous games.
In a confusing twist that's seen developer Arrowhead and Game Master Joel follow the will of the player base, Helldivers 2's new Major Order has put a bullseye on Malevelon Creek to free the controversial planet once and for all.
As the Helldivers 2 community formally piles into Malevelon Creek for a surprise Major Order following a failed operation, creative director and Arrowhead CEO Johan Pilestedt says the studio is talking about ways to make such orders easier to understand.
Helldivers 2 developer Arrowhead Game Studios recently received a gift package from Alan Wake 2 and Control developer Remedy Games, and it came with a letter penned by none other than Alan Wake himself. It's a fun read, an in-character mix of two game worlds worth of lore, filtered through the persona of one gaming's most iconic writers, and spliced with the events of today's industry. Here's the letter in full:
A new Helldivers 2 Major Order has upped the ante in the ongoing fight against the Automatons, sending players straight back to Malevelon Creek in a push to destroy a major bot factory. But this order has come amidst a suspiciously quiet moment on the western war front, and I'm more convinced than ever that we're just in the eye of the storm.
It all comes back to Malevelon Creek. Helldivers 2 players smashed the latest major order, and now a new one's come in to shut down an Automaton factory on planet Tibit, but we're going to have to punch through some other planets first, and the infamous Malevelon Creek is marked for liberation once again.
