Netflix Is Producing A He-Man Anime Series
While Masters of the Universe was an animated series created to sell toys, fans of the franchise love it and want to see more and more they shall get. In 2021, Sony and Mattel will partner for a new He-Man movie–starring Noah Centineo–and now, there’s also an anime series coming to Netflix.
Announced at Power-Con, director Kevin Smith surprised audiences and announced this new project. He will serve as showrunner and executive producer of Netflix’s anime series Masters of the Universe: Revelation. The show will follow unresolved stories from the classic ’80s era, and it will follow many of your favorite characters right where they left off when the show ended.
“I’m Eternia-ly grateful to Mattel TV and Netflix for entrusting me with not only the secrets of Grayskull, but also their entire Universe,” declared Smith in a press release. “In Revelation, we pick up right where the classic era left off to tell an epic tale of what may be the final battle between He-Man and Skeletor! Brought to life with the most metal character designs Powerhouse Animation can contain in the frame, this is the Masters of the Universe story you always wanted to see as a kid!”
Eric Carrasco (Supergirl), Tim Sheridan (Reign of the Supermen), Diya Mishra (Magic the Gathering), and Marc Bernardin (Alphas) will serve as writers on the new series. Powerhouse Animation, the studio behind Netflix’s Castlevania series will be doing the animation.
The new series continues to grow Netflix’s anime content on the service. “He-Man has inspired children–and the child inside of us all–for decades, with his feats of heroism and courage in the face of evil,” exclaimed John Derderian, head of anime content for Netflix. “We can think of no better creator for this show than Kevin Smith.”
No release date was revealed at the time of the announcement.

Darq Developer Reveals Why He Turned Down an Epic Exclusivity Deal
In a time where it seems more and more game developers are opting to sign lucrative exclusivity deals with the Epic Games Store (and thus angering a certain portion of gamers), the developer behind the indie horror adventure Darq has made the peculiar decision to turn Epic down. In a post to his Medium blog, developer Wlad Marhulets, the one-man team at Unfold Games, revealed what went into making his decision.
Less than a month before releasing the game, Mahulets finally shared a release date trailer, stating the game would come to Steam on August 15. Mahulets says it was three days later that an Epic representative reached out to him to discuss an exclusivity deal.
Rainbow Six Siege Is Getting a Battle Pass
Rainbow Six Siege is falling in line with its shooter peers by introducing a Battle Pass system.
As part of the new Operation Ember Rise content – which introduces two new Operators, Amaru and Goyo, and a reworked version of the Kanal map – the Battle Pass will will begin with a miniature take on the pass, called “Call Me Harry”.
According to a press release, the “Call Me Harry” pass will “focus on Dr. Harishva “Harry” Pandey, Director of Rainbow. By earning Battle Points, players will unlock tiers and unique rewards, and will get an exclusive Harry Chibi charm upon completion.”
The mini-pass will take place over 7 days and include 7 tiers, and will be completely free. A second pass will launch later this year, and will include the two-tier system familiar from games like Fortnite, comprising free and premium tracks.
Apex Legends Forum Heats Up as Developer Calls Toxic Fans ‘A**-hats’
It’s been a tough week for Apex Legends, and an even tougher week for its development team, following strong player backlash during the game’s Iron Crown special event. After making some significant changes to how players could earn the new (and prohibitively expensive) legendary skins included in the event, Respawn took a moment to apologize for how it structured the event. A part of that process of making good appears to be reaching out to the Apex Legends subreddit, where things quickly heated up into verbal sparring between at least one Respawn developer and players.

GRRM Says GoT Ending Reactions Won’t Change Winds of Winter
In an interview with Observer (via The Guardian), Game of Thrones author George RR Martin described the end of the show as “freeing,” and insisted that the controversy over the show’s ending, which many critics deemed lackluster, wouldn’t impact how he tackled writing the Winds of Winter and other A Song of Ice and Fire books.
“It doesn’t change anything at all … You can’t please everybody, so you’ve got to please yourself,” Martin told Observer.
Game of Thrones’ eighth season was criticized for both its unusually short length, and for how that quickened pace seemingly fumbled up character motivations that had been boiling for the prior seven seasons. Ironically, while the show was blitzing through character arcs and plot threads, GRRM says it was a key source of why he’s been taking so long to finish Winds of Winter, the next installment in his book series that sparked the show.
