We’ve rounded up the best deals for Sunday, August 3, below, so don’t miss out on these limited-time offers.
Elden Ring Nightreign Deluxe Edition for $39.49
Elden Ring Nightreign is a great time with friends, and you can save on the Deluxe Edition of the game this weekend at Amazon. This edition of the game includes additional DLC content, featuring additional playable characters and bosses, in addition to a digital artbook and mini soundtrack. Bandai Namco has continued to release new content for Nightreign, so this is a great time to jump in.
M4 MacBook Air for $799
This weekend at Amazon, you can save $200 off an M4 MacBook Air. This 13-inch model includes 16GB of Unified Memory and 256GB of SSD storage, making it ideal for multitasking and running intense applications. All 2025 models support Apple Intelligence features as well.
Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake for $34.99
Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake was one of the most enjoyable RPGs of 2024, featuring a gorgeous remade HD-2D world and voice acting. If you haven’t had the chance to check this one out yet, Amazon has copies available for only $34.99. The Nintendo Switch version even got a Nintendo Switch 2 update this week, so you can experience the game with higher resolution and frame rates on your new console! This is by far the definitive way to experience this classic, and now is the perfect time to catch up before Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake this Fall.
Nintendo Switch 2 Available at Walmart & Target
While Nintendo Switch 2 has been quite challenging to find if you didn’t secure one at launch, both Target and Walmart have the highly popular console in stock. This is the Mario Kart World bundle, too, which packs in a digital copy of Mario Kart World for $50. The Nintendo Switch 2 is an upgrade to Nintendo Switch in almost every way possible, featuring a 1080p display with a 120Hz refresh rate, improved Joy-Con, and much more.
Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition for $46.99
Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition launched earlier this year, and it’s still one of the biggest RPGs you can jump into on any platform. The remaster introduced numerous quality-of-life updates that were much needed, in addition to a brand-new epilogue chapter. We gave the game a 9/10 in our review, stating, “Xenoblade Chronicles X was already one of the Wii U’s best games, and this Definitive Edition does more than enough to justify another trip to planet Mira.”
Lexar microSD Express 512GB Card Available
The Nintendo Switch 2 requires microSD Express Cards, so you aren’t able to use the standard microSD cards that worked on Nintendo Switch. As a result, microSD Express Cards have been incredibly hard to find, often only having a few minutes worth of stock at a time. Right now, Amazon has the Lexar 512GB Play PRO microSD Express Card in stock, so if you’ve yet to upgrade your Switch 2 storage, don’t wait to do so.
Marvel VS Capcom: Ultimate Complete Works Up for Pre-Order
Amazon has opened pre-orders for the brand-new Marvel VS Capcom: Ultimate Complete Works hardcover art book from Udon Entertainment. This book contains 336 total pages, with over 140 pages of new artwork to discover. Set to release in December, this is the perfect time to lock in your pre-order.
Wall-E & EVE LEGO Set Up for Pre-Order
New LEGO sets are always being announced, and this one is no exception. You can now pre-order the LEGO Disney & Pixar Wall-E & Eve set, featuring WALL-E, EVE, M-O, and Hal as buildable characters. Each character has movable heads and arms, so you can pose them however you’d like.
Razer BlackShark V2 X Headset for $30
Amazon has the wired Razer BlackShark V2 X Gaming Headset on sale for only $30 right now. While this is a wired headset, you’re not sacrificing on sound quality, as the BlackShark V2 X packs in 50mm Drivers into its lightweight design. If you’re looking for a cheap, quality headset to use for Xbox or PC, look no further than this one. However, if you want something more high end, don’t hesitate to check out the Razer BlackShark V3 Pro.
2TB Samsung 990 EVO Plus SSD for $129.99
Amazon has this huge 2TB Samsung 990 EVO Plus SSD listed for $129.99 this weekend, and if you’re the owner of a PlayStation 5 or PC, this is a great option for upgrading your storage. Especially for PlayStation 5 owners, 2TB of extra storage is a godsend, as you no longer have to enter the cycle of uninstalling and reinstalling your favorite games to save space.
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth for $34.99
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth was my favorite game of 2024, and it’s available for just $34.99 at Woot this weekend. This is the lowest I’ve seen the PS5 copies so far, and I cannot recommend picking it up enough. Cloud and the rest of the party leave Midgar to step into the open world of Gaia for the very first time, and there is well over 100 hours of content available for you to complete.
Pokémon is one of those franchises that has infiltrated pretty much every medium. Whether you’re a fan of the Pokémon games, anime, or the trading card game, there is a seemingly endless amount of new content for you to peruse at any given time. There’s so much, in fact, that it can almost be hard to find the perfect Pokémon gift for yourself or the fan in your life without trudging through piles of search results.
Thankfully, if you’re specifically looking for a really cool Pokémon jigsaw puzzle, I have scouted out this specific topic for you. Below I’ve listed out some of the very best options currently available on Amazon for both adults and kids of varying ages. Some of these puzzles are a lot more challenging than others, so just make sure you check the piece count before you bite off more than you can chew.
Ravensburger Pokémon Challenge Jigsaw Puzzle
A good challenge for adults
The first Pokémon puzzle I’d recommend is for more advanced puzzlers. It’s 1,000 pieces and is stamped with the Ravensburger “Challenge” title, meaning it’s not going to be a quick one. Featuring all of the original 150 Pokémon all in one picture, it’s a nostalgic blast from the past and fun to put together. It also comes from Ravensburger, which is one of the most-trusted jigsaw puzzle brands out there.
Buffalo Games Retro Pixel Pokémon Chart Puzzle
For fans of the video games
If you’re anything like me, you likely have fond memories of playing Pokémon on your Game Boy for hours on end and this puzzle hits a similar nostalgic vein. This glorious 2,000 piece jigsaw puzzle from Buffalo Games showcases the original 150 Pokémon once again, but this time they are pixelated and perfectly organized. With the higher piece count and nice blue border around the edges, this Pokémon puzzle is a great option for anyone looking to proudly frame and display their completed work.
If you like the piece count on this puzzle, you should also check out our list of the largest puzzles available now. They scale up beyond 40,000 pieces.
Buffalo Games Pokémon Fan Favorites Puzzle
For younger kids
The first two puzzles on this list are targeted more toward adults, but if you’re looking for a good option for younger kids, this 100 piece puzzle is my top pick. It features a ton of fan favorite Pokémon, primarily from the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th generation. You can see Rayquaza right in the middle there and Pikachu all the way at the bottom. At 100 pieces it’s fairly easy for younger kids to piece together while still providing a really cool image for fans of the franchise.
Buffalo Games Four Pokémon Puzzle Boards
Starter option for preschoolers
If you’re looking for a good puzzle gift for kids just getting into puzzles, this four pack is an excellent option. It says it’s made for ages 4+, but I got this same pack for my niece and nephew when they were around three years old and they had no problem putting it together. Each puzzle depicts a different set of Pokémon and features between 12 and 48 pieces so kids can scale up the difficulty if they are really into it.
3D Master Ball Puzzle
The best Pokemon puzzle gift
Some of the absolute best Pokémon toys on the market are Poké Balls. So naturally, there is a 3D puzzle version available. At only 54 pieces, it’s fairly easy to put together and even easier to display. It comes with a stand that will hold your completed puzzle up on a shelf or a desk. This is one of the best puzzle gifts currently available for Pokémon fans right now.
Tips for Buying Pokémon Puzzles
As someone who has done quite a bit of puzzle research (and quite a bit of puzzling), I have a few suggestions to help you narrow down your search for the perfect fit. Here are a couple of key things to look out for when buying a Pokémon puzzle:
Make sure it’s a trusted brand
The first thing you’ll want to do before you buy any jigsaw puzzle online is check what brand it’s from. There are some puzzle brands that are more trusted than others, many of which I’ve featured on this list already. A good brand tends to have higher quality puzzles, which means higher quality materials. And for Pokémon puzzles specifically, they will likely be selling the puzzles in an official capacity via licensing the IP.
When in doubt, I’d suggest reading through Amazon reviews to see what people thought. Things to watch out for are missing pieces, thin cardboard, and obvious AI usage.
Get the right piece count for the occasion
Another important thing to think about is who you’re buying the puzzle for. If it’s a gift for an experienced puzzler, 1,000 pieces and above is probably ideal. But if it’s for a novice or a younger audience, then 500 or below is probably your best bet. Larger puzzles tend to take a lot longer and if you don’t have a dedicated space set up for puzzling you’ll likely never finish. This is where a decent puzzle table really comes in handy.
I love it when passions of mind mix together into something awesome. So as someone who loves board games and books from epic fantasy author, Brandon Sanderson (specifically the Cosmere series), Mistborn: The Deckbuilding Game really hits that sweet spot. With Era 1 characters Marsh, Shan, Vin, and Kelsier, each depicted with beautiful art alongside more than 100 cards showcasing people, places, and events from the books, Mistborn is a treat for fans like myself. And thankfully, it has some solid gameplay backing it up.
Designed by John D. Clair and published by Brotherwise Games, Mistborn: The Deckbuilding Game, as its name suggests, is a deckbuilding board game and features many of the staple mechanics of the genre. Players begin the game with a weaker small deck of cards, which they will slowly add to throughout the course of the game by purchasing new cards from a shared shop that strengthens their deck with new abilities and better resources. Just because it adopts many of the traditional systems of a deck builder doesn’t mean Mistborn doesn’t offer up anything new, though!
Pulling from the source material, the big additional element here is the idea of burning and flaring metal—the signature trait of the Allomancers from the world of Scadriel. On your turn, the cards you can play require you to burn one of eight possible metals in order to use the card. As the game progresses you become a better-trained Allomancer. You are able to burn more metals per turn, but at the start, you can only do this once, which is where flaring a metal and playing cards as a resource comes into play.
Flaring lets you use one of your metals, not counting towards your turn burn limit; however, you will not regain this metal until you take a special “refresh” action on a future turn, discarding a card from your hand that matches that metal. Additionally, you can spend a card from your hand as another required metal cost that matches the type as shown in a small vial at the bottom of the cards, making every card you put into your deck not only a potential action but also a resource. I am a big fan of board games that incorporate risk-versus-reward into the gameplay and the fact that played cards have multiple use cases adds that extra little dash of a strategic element to the economy that I just devoured.
Before each game starts, three missions are selected that players will be able to progress on, earning them bonuses and, once completed, permanent buffs. These can allow you to draw extra cards during your turn, provide a static attack bonus each turn, or even a one-time-use heal among other possibilities. With eight possible mission cards to pick from, this helps keep games feeling a bit fresh after multiple playthroughs, and I’ve never been one to shy away from games with more replayability options.
In my experience, games that try to allow their game to be played both competitively and cooperatively tend to end up being more skewed towards one or the other, with the one option coming off feeling like an afterthought add-on and doesn’t provide the same level of depth or enjoyment in its gameplay. Thankfully Mistborn manages to avoid this by offering strong options for both audiences that want to wail on one another and those that want to team-up, in this case against the immortal Lord Ruler himself.
Competitive play is pretty straightforward with everyone trying to be the last person standing as they beat up on each other with one small change—only one person, the target, can be attacked at any given time. Once that person is attacked, they are able to pass on the target token to anyone of their choice or keep holding onto it if they so choose, allowing them to attack anyone they wish. I thought this was a really interesting idea, and at first thought would be incredibly unfair to the person that is targeted. But the fact that once they get attacked, are able to make someone else the target has led to some really interesting negotiations during my games where people try to wheel-and-deal so that they won’t become the target. I sort of dig it.
As fun as the competitive ruleset was, I found myself enjoying the cooperative one even more. Teaming up against the Lord Ruler felt more on-brand with the books than everyone fighting one another, and it actually was pretty challenging too! The Lord Ruler comes with his own deck of cards full of minions and edicts, special cards that have nasty effects like dishing out tons of damage, killing your allies (persistent cards that are out in front of players that trigger various effects when certain metals are burned) or fully healing the Lord Ruler. While this is my preferred way to play Mistborn, I do find that it is more engaging of an experience at lower player counts. With four players, I felt the Lord Ruler couldn’t quite provide the same challenge, so I would advise maybe opting for cooperative at lower player counts. Playing solo, the Lord Ruler is SCARY, and as someone who historically isn’t much for solo board games, I think Mistborn is a great solo game.
My issues with Mistborn have less to do with the mechanics of the game and more with the fact that I wish that the game went a bit further with what it includes. The four characters are nice, but I would have loved a couple more options so when playing four players, the roster wasn’t always the same. While Allomancy is represented well, the more I played, the more I kept wishing that there was some sort of representation of Feruchemy and Hemalurgy, and why aren’t there rules to allow someone to actually play as the Lord Ruler? The more I have played Mistborn the more my mind wandered and brainstormed how all of those things would work in the system that Brotherwise has built. I can only hope that Mistborn did well enough that we will get an expansion at some point, maybe roping in crew from Wax and Wayne’s Era 2, that will introduce some of those features, or better yet, the idea of Twinborns that can do both Allomancy AND Feruchemy. Oh man, my brain is already thinking up ideas.
It’s become the new normal, unfortunately, to wait years for a follow-up to our favorite games. While the realities of modern game development mean studios are working harder than ever to meet ever-higher standards, that hasn’t stopped projects like Rockstar’s Grand Theft Auto 6, Valve’s Half-Life 3, and especially Team Cherry’s Silksong from becoming the unwitting faces of the industry’s lengthening timelines. That last one is surprising because when it was first announced, it didn’t seem like the sequel to Hollow Knight was all that far away.
Months turned into years, and until very recently, it felt like we were no closer to Silksong than we were in 2019, back when we played a hands-on demo of the mystical sequel. In the years since, Silksong has achieved meme status, where fans don clown makeup and wigs after each new Nintendo Direct or Xbox Developer Showcase fails to bring them closer to the promised sequel. How did we get here? And just how much closer are we to the fabled Silksong release?
Silksong Was Originally Supposed to Be DLC
Australian-based studio Team Cherry first launched Hollow Knight on Kickstarter back in 2014, hoping to secure enough funding to turn its 2D Soulslike+Metroidvania fusion game jam prototype into a full-fledged game. After meeting its initial funding target, Team Cherry revealed additional stretch goals that promised new quests, bosses, and, eventually, a second playable character named Hornet. Those funding targets were met, and so development began on expanding Hollow Knight.
As promised, Hollow Knight’s 2017 launch was followed by a series of DLC drops. The Hidden Dreams, The Grimm Troupe, and Gods and Glory added new boss fights, quest lines, fast travel mechanics, and more to the base game. But what about the second playable character? Where was Hornet?
Then, on February 14, 2019, Hollow Knight: Silksong was officially announced. In a blog post and developer diary, Team Cherry explained how plans for Hornet had quickly evolved. Initially, the developers debated whether to add her as a second protagonist that players could switch to during the main campaign or to make her the star of a standalone chapter. Eventually, the ideas for Hornet grew so big that Team Cherry decided to spin the DLC off into a full sequel.
The plan was now to tell a brand new Hornet-focused story in an entirely new kingdom. She would have a very different playstyle – much more nimble and acrobatic than The Knight, who is slower and heavier in comparison. She would need all her speed and dexterity when going up against Silksong’s over 150 new enemies and bosses.
Fans of Hollow Knight rejoiced, and Team Cherry capitalized on the excitement for Silksong quickly…
We Even Played It
Even though Team Cherry never announced a release date, none of us expected Silksong’s unveiling would be the start of a six-year-plus wait to get to the sequel. The same year as the announcement, Team Cherry was all-in on promoting Silksong, revealing a cast of NPC characters via an anniversary blog post in March 2019, before showcasing a playable demo at E3 2019.
Not only did we at IGN see the demo ourselves at E3 that year, but our very own Tom Marks played it. In his preview, he wrote, “Hollow Knight is one of my favorite games ever, but I think Silksong has the potential to be even better.”
The demo was roughly 20 minutes long and took place in a new, fiery area filled with several new enemies and two boss fights. I caught up with Marks for this story to ask him if, at the time, the Silksong demo seemed like a game that would be ready in a few years, or if it felt far from finished.
“It didn’t feel six years away,” Marks tells me. “You [could] tell it wasn’t the final version, but based on the vertical slice I played, it felt really polished.”
This demo would later be taken to PAX Australia 2019 and shared with attendees there as well. Generally when a game shows up with a playable build at multiple events, things are closing in on the finish line, and so we were all completely unaware of the reality that awaited.
As the publicity campaign progressed into 2020, Team Cherry marketing and publishing lead Matthew “Leth” Griffin began revealing new NPCs on the official Hollow Knight Discord server as a reward for fans solving a variety of riddles. And in that December, there was a full-on cover story in Edge Magazine issue #354 with new details, screenshots, and an enlightening interview with Team Cherry co-directors Ari Gibson and William Pellen that discussed deeper, more intricate levels and offered a glimpse into Hornet’s mysterious story.
Silksong Goes Into Hiding
The frenzy of Silksong news in the immediate aftermath of the sequel’s announcement would soon give way to a long winter. Team Cherry went radio silent throughout 2021, and fans spent the year waiting for any sign of a release date. A 2020-2021 release window was anticipated, thanks to a few accidental messaging blips that sent the rumor mill turning.
In September 2019, for instance, the official Silksong Steam page was suddenly updated with a June 12, 2020, release date. Later, Team Cherry would confirm it was just an accidental placeholder date. Just a couple of months later, on August 20, the Silksong logo appeared in an official Nintendo UK tweet that read, “Take a look at some upcoming games headed to Nintendo Switch this year and beyond.” It wasn’t immediately clear that Silksong belonged firmly in the “beyond” category – we’d yet to learn that expecting it anytime soon was folly.
“Will there be Silksong at the new Nintendo Partner Direct?” fans dare to ask.
“Absolutely not, you clown,” the universe responds.
“Everything Shown Today Will Be Playable in the Next 12 Months”
It wouldn’t be until almost another two years had passed that we would see Silksong again. On June 12, 2022, Xbox aired its annual summer Games Showcase, which premiered, among other things, a brand new, minute-long trailer for Silksong. But while it revealed new gameplay, areas, and bosses, the trailer didn’t include a release date. It did, however, announce that Silksong will be playable day one on Xbox Game Pass.
This might have been enough for fans if it weren’t for an unfortunate follow-up message from Xbox.
After the showcase, the official Xbox Twitter account posted, “Everything you’re seeing today is playable over the next 12 months.” Given Silksong was one of the games present in the showcase, this was rightfully taken as a release window for the game.
Silksong Gets an Official Delay, Without Ever Getting a Release Date
To be fair, it did seem like Team Cherry’s plan was to release Silksong within 12 months of the Xbox Games Showcase. This much was confirmed by Team Cherry’s Matthew Griffin, who shared on Twitter in May 2023 that Silksong was planned to be released in the “1st half of 2023.”
However, Griffin added that unfortunately, “development is still continuing. We’re excited by how the game is shaping up, and it’s gotten quite big, so we want to take the time to make the game as good as we can. Expect more details from us once we get closer to release.”
So, without ever announcing a release date, Silksong received an official delay from Team Cherry.
Hey gang, just a quick update about Silksong.
We had planned to release in the 1st half of 2023, but development is still continuing. We’re excited by how the game is shaping up, and it’s gotten quite big, so we want to take the time to make the game as good as we can.
In the years since Silksong was first announced, a lot has changed in the games industry. The COVID-19 pandemic meant that in-person events were temporarily paused, with some events like E3 now seemingly gone for good. In place of those traditional events, various digital showcases from the likes of Geoff Keighley, Xbox, PlayStation, and even yours truly here at IGN, as well as countless others, were created to fill the void of E3.
This meant there were now dozens of potential new showcases where Team Cherry could share more information about Silksong. Every new indie game showcase, Nintendo Direct, or any number of other shows had the potential to reveal a new Silksong trailer, preferably one with a release date. And with each new showcase that failed to deliver the goods, fans began to treat Silksong’s absence as a running joke.
Anyone who follows the games industry on social media will likely recognize the most popular Silksong meme: Anytime a company posts about an upcoming game showcase, there will be at least one picture of the Knight from Hollow Knight or Hornet from Silksong in a clown wig and make-up, indicating that the poster is ready to feel like a fool when Silksong inevitably fails to appear.
Fan art of the Knight or Hornet in clown regalia is now ubiquitous. It signifies the folly of wanting to learn more about Silksong. The rainbow-colored wig and clown nose have become the unofficial uniform for Silksong fans after years of suffering. “Will there be Silksong at the new Nintendo Partner Direct?” fans dare to ask. “Absolutely not, you clown,” the universe responds.
And just to prove the universe is also in on the joke, the first time Silksong received an official listing on the Xbox store was on April 1, 2024. April Fool’s Day.
Light at the End of the Tunnel
Team Cherry confirmed multiple times throughout 2024 that Silksong would not be appearing at any of that year’s biggest shows. It was not present in any of 2024’s E3-replacement Summer Showcases, and Geoff Keighley confirmed that Silksong would not appear as part of Opening Night Live at Gamescom 2024. Team Cherry also skipped back-to-back Nintendo Directs that year, both the August 2024 Indie Direct and the Third-Party Partner Direct.
However, 2025 has been a different story. The year began with a fan posting on the official Hollow Knight subreddit that they ran into Silksong co-director Ari Gibson. According to the fan, Gibson joked about there not being a sequel yet, but that there would be more to share “soon.”
That was no bluff. On March 19, 2025, Xbox published a new ID@Xbox blog highlighting its ongoing commitments to release great indie games, including Silksong. And a few weeks later, during the April 2 Nintendo Direct, Silksong re-emerged in the show’s sizzle reel with a 2025 release window.
Silksong made another appearance during the announcement for the upcoming ROG Ally X handheld, where the game was seen briefly running on the Xbox-branded device. Team Cherry’s Matthew Griffin later confirmed in the official Hollow Knight Discord server that Silksong’s release is not tied to any particular console and the sequel is still slated to be released “before holiday [2025].” And now we know that Silksong will be playable at the Xbox booth at Gamescom. This will be the first playable demo for the game since 2019.
While Silksong was a no-show at the most recent Nintendo Partner Direct — cue the clown memes — it does feel like we’re finally going to get the elusive Silksong, six long, painful years after it was announced that the DLC character, Hornet, will be starring in her own game. Maybe we can start removing the clown makeup from our faces once and for all.
When it comes to buying a puzzle, there are a few things to think about: How big do you want said puzzle to be? Do you want to tackle a 2D puzzle, or attempt a 3D model? And, most importantly, what kind of design are you looking to piece together? There’s an overwhelming amount of options to choose from in regard, from beautiful works of art to shots plucked from the world of TV and movies, that it can feel tricky to find the best pick for your interests. But if you’re a cinephile looking for puzzles that capture movie posters from some of your favorite films, we’re here to help.
Whether it’s a collage of multiple movie posters brought together as a single big puzzle or something focused around a classic one sheet, we’ve gathered up some of the coolest movie poster puzzles we believe are worth your time and money. Have a look through our picks for the best movie poster puzzles to buy in 2025 below.
The Best Movie Poster Puzzles To Buy in 2025
Aquarius Lord of the Rings Triptych Puzzle (1,000 Pieces)
Why piece just one poster together when you can have three iconic posters in one puzzle? Starting off strong, this Lord of the Rings triptych puzzle from Aquarius comes to 1,000 pieces and features posters for all of the Lord of the Rings movies. The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers, and The Return of the King are placed against a map of Middle-earth and split into 1,000 pieces. If you’re a fan of Tolkien’s books or Peter Jackson’s films, it’s a jigsaw puzzle you’ll want to frame after finishing it.
Clementoni Ghostbusters Puzzle (500 Pieces)
Who ya gonna call? This Ghostbusters movie poster puzzle from Clementoni features the trio of Venkman, Stantz, and Spengler in front of their classic logo, coming in at 500 pieces. What really makes this puzzle stand out, though, is the awesome case that it comes in. To add to the ’80s nostalgia, everything comes packaged in a VHS-style case, which is sure to look incredibly cool when placed on your shelf.
Spin Master Games Jaws Puzzle (500 Pieces)
This year marks 50 years since the release of Steven Spielberg’s unforgettable blockbuster, Jaws. And if you’re looking to celebrate the occasion, why not do it with this Jaws movie poster puzzle from Spin Master Games? It features the iconic image of “Bruce” the shark sneaking up on a swimmer with the film’s title across the top. Similar to the Ghostbusters puzzle, it’s 500 pieces and even comes packaged in a VHS-style case, only this time straight from the shelves of Blockbuster. A truly excellent package for movie fans.
Aquarius Harry Potter Movie Posters Collage Puzzle (1,000 Pieces)
Much like with the Lord of the Rings triptych, it’s sometimes too hard to pick just one poster from a series of films. So why settle for just one when you can have everything all together? This Harry Potter puzzle from Aquarius, which comes to 1,000 pieces, is perfect for fans who want to make sure every movie poster from the franchise is accounted for. It features all eight Harry Potter movies as posters across the top and bottom, with Ron, Harry, and Hermione in the middle.
Aquarius The Goonies Puzzle (500 Pieces)
This is another movie poster puzzle from Aquarius, but this time only covering one movie poster rather than multiple from a franchise. For fans of the ’80s classic The Goonies, this puzzle comes to 500 pieces and captures the film’s one sheet in a truly frame-worthy final product. By the time you’re finished, you’ll be itching to watch it and experience the adventure all over again.
Ceaco Disney/Pixar Movie Posters Puzzle (2,000 Pieces)
Much like Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings, there are simply too many good Pixar movie posters to focus on just one. Thankfully, this 2,000 piece puzzle from Ceaco features a big collage of several different posters from the company, from Finding Nemo to The Incredibles to Toy Story to Coco. If you’re a Pixar fan, this massive puzzle is an excellent project to take on. By the time you finally finish this puzzle, you’ll likely want to watch all of the Pixar movies in order.
Should You Buy a Puzzle or a Poster for Your Wall?
This depends on what you’re looking for. Paper movie posters can really capture that traditional feeling of walking into a movie theater when they’re in a frame, but puzzle movie posters like the ones above add a fun pop of personality to a room. Since they come in different sizes and styles – especially if you choose to go with one of the collage-style puzzles listed above – and you pieced them together yourself, they can add a nice personal touch to your wall. But again, it all depends on your personal preference of what sort of poster design you’d rather have up.
If you’re leaning towards framing the movie poster puzzles listed above, we can help with that, too. You can check out some of our favorite frames for puzzles in our puzzle gift guide and this RoseArt Jigsaw Puzzle Glue will help you keep your favorite pieces together.

If you’re having trouble redeeming a code, there are two common reasons why it may not be working:
The code is expired
The code has been entered incorrectly
If a code has been entered incorrectly or has expired, you’ll see a message that says, “[CODES] Invalid/Expired Code”. In order to avoid this, we recommend copying and pasting the code directly from this article. As long as you don’t accidentally get an extra space in there when copying it, it should work if it’s active. We make sure to check and test every Anime Shadow 2 code before we add them to this article.

Darksiders 4 is coming from developer Gunfire Games. We have a teaser trailer, below, revealed as part of publisher THQ Nordic’s 2025 showcase event, as well as some high level gameplay details.
Darksiders 4, like the previous entries in the series, is a third-person action adventure game featuring combat, traversal, and puzzle solving in a “lore rich” post-apocalyptic world.
You play as one of the legendary Horsemen, each with their own unique weapons and combat styles. The “cinematic” combat is described as “fast-paced, visceral action blending melee, fluid traversal, and supernatural abilities.”
The only story detail we have is that Darksiders 4 continues the saga of the Four Horsemen and picks up where the original Darksiders game left off. According to store listings, there’s online co-op for 2-4 players as well as single-player and split screen.
Darksiders began life in 2010 with the Vigil Games-developed original. It revolves around the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, who attempt to bring balance to the universe while fighting on a post-apocalyptic Earth.
A sequel, Darksiders 2, followed in 2012, but it wasn’t until 2018 that Darksiders 3, from Gunfire Games, came out, with Airship Syndicate’s top-down action game Darksiders Genesis following in 2019. The series had remained dormant since then, with Gunfire releasing the successful Remnant: From the Ashes and Remnant 2 games either side of Chronos: Before the Ashes.
There’s no release window for Darksiders 4 yet, but THQ Nordic did open wishlists today.

BioShock 4 is currently undergoing a bit of a development overhaul after it recently failed a review by 2K Games executives, according to a new report from Bloomberg.
Per the report, the new BioShock game, which has been in development for the last decade, was criticized by executives especially for issues with its narrative. The studio will allegedly work to overhaul the story in the coming months.
BioShock 4’s struggles have also apparently resulted in the removal of Cloud Chamber Games studio head Kelley Gilmore, and the shifting of creative director Hogarth de la Plante into a publishing role. Employees were told in a recent all-hands that the company needs to become, per Bloomberg, “more agile and efficient,” which has some workers afraid layoffs may be on the horizon.
2K Games confirmed Gilmore and de la Plante’s role changes to Bloomberg, and shared the following statement:
We are working hard to set BioShock up for the best possible future. Right now, we have a good game, but we are committed to delivering a great one. We are working closely with leadership at the studio to define this path.
We first heard reports that BioShock 4 was in development way back in 2018, when it was still apparently pretty early in the process. The following year it was officially confirmed to be in development at new studio Cloud Chamber, but IGN was told at the time that the team was at “the earlier end of our process.” It was also confirmed that original BioShock creative director Ken Levine was not working on the game, but was instead focusing on his own project, Judas, at Ghost Story Games (it’s due. However, a number of other BioShock veterans were said to be working on it, including de la Plante, art director Scott Sinclair, and design director Jonathan Pelling.
Given that we have yet to see gameplay or hear even a whisper of a release window, it may still be a while yet before BioShock 4 fully emerges. In the meantime, while Levine’s Judas was at one point expected to be out by March 2025, that deadline has come and gone. But we got a preview of the game last March, so it may have to serve to tide over fans until BioShock 4 is ready to emerge once more.

Without DK, August is a tad quieter, but still features a Nintendo first-party exclusive in Drag x Drive, the first Madden game on a Nintendo system in years, and the return of Kirby.
Another year, another Madden, but this time it’s a little different. EA famously skipped the original Switch with its long-running football franchise, but it isn’t making the same mistake with Switch 2.
At the Nintendo Partner Showcase we finally saw gameplay, and Madden is looking really impressive on Switch 2.
Drag x Drive – August 14
Nintendo’s third first-party exclusive in as many months after Mario Kart World and Donkey Kong: Bananza, Drag x Drive doesn’t have an established franchise or mascot to help it win over fans, but it does have a budget price point.
Could it be Nintendo’s answer to Rocket League? That remains to be seen, but the mouse controls should help it feel fresh.
This new version adds a fresh campaign and location, and improves the graphics and frame rate across the board. Expect new meme-worthy Moutful Modes, too.
Shinobi: Art of Vengeance – August 29
Closing out the month, Shinobi makes its return with Art of Vengeance, a hand-drawn side-scrolling action platformer from the studio behind Streets of Rage 4.
Not only does the game look incredible, but it plays just as well, and should be a 2D treat for fans of the genre.
We’re still waiting for a Metroid Prime 4: Beyond release date, too. It’s still slated for 2025, and looks as though it’ll push the new console to its limits.
Last Month’s Biggest Switch 2 Games
As we mentioned earlier, Donkey Kong Bananza was the clear highlight for Switch 2 owners in July, with the game feeling like a worthy successor to Super Mario Odyssey.

In case you missed it, Edge of Eternities is a sci-fi, space opera set that’s packed with cool cards, and since it just launched, we thought we’d take a look at the priciest cards in the set so you can keep an eye out when you’re cracking packs.
The Most Valuable Edge of Eternities Cards Right Now
But first! It’s worth noting that these prices are taken around launch day, so they’ll fluctuate considerably as more product floods the market. We’ll update this page in a few days’ time, but expect big swings either way.
With that said, let’s get into it. Here are the most valuable cards for MTG’s latest expansion, Edge of Eternities (at least so far).
Starfield Vocalist (Showcase) – $114.43
Starfield Vocalist (Showcase) is our first entry, and offers a handy double trigger for ETB effects, while also being playable for its warp cost.
This Showcase version looks great, with plenty of color and personality.
Breeding Pool (Borderless – Galaxy Foil) – $142.83
It’s also a really fun card, letting you control a rival’s card, but with it being cheaper depending on how much more powerful that card is. It was pushing $200 during pre-release, but is settling closer to $160 right now.
This powerful artifact not only gives you a whole host of card advantage, but it can keep you alive in the late game, or slice your life total in half in the early game.
Prices are changing fast on this one, so it’s worth keeping an eye on.
Anticausal Vestige (Showcase – Fracture Foil) is a big ol’ Eldrazi, and was just shy of $300 during pre-release sales, but similar to Endstone, has drifted closer to $200 post release day.
This Fracture Foil treatment looks great, and when it leaves the battlefield, you can pull something from your hand right onto the board.
In fact, it’s the first of four cards on this list to exceed $300.
Icetill Explorer (Showcase – Fracture Foil) – $474.85
Can we crack $500, I hear you ask? Spoiler alert, yes, and then some, but for now, Icetill Explorer (Showcase – Fracture Foil) is around $475 market price right now and allows you to play lands from your graveyard AND lands on your turn.
This artwork is awesome, too, looking like a comic book drawing, and it’d fit perfectly in the World Shaper deck. Do I dare to buy this one myself?
If you’ve been looking for the coolest-looking Angel Wizard in the universe, you’ve found it, with double tokens, flying, and lifelink. Just, be prepared to pay out big if you’re looking to pick it standalone this week rather than chasing in boosters.
Sothera, the Supervoid (Singularity Foil) – $2399
Oh boy, this is the big one. This card is funny to me, not just because it’s drastically pricier than anything else in the set, but because in the pursuit of that gorgeous Singularity Foil, it doesn’t show you what the card does.
Sothera, the Supervoid (Singularity Foil), in case you’re wondering, exiles your opponents’ creatures when your creatures die, until a player has no creatures. When that happens, you sacrifice Sothera and can take control of a creature exiled in this way. Spicy.
Where to Buy MTG Edge of Eternities Sealed Boosters
Play Boosters have become the de facto way to open packs now, replacing Set Boosters and Draft Boosters. If you’re on the hunt for rare cards, this is the way to go.
These packs are draftable for sealed play, and contain 15 cards each (although the last one in the pack is usually an advert, art card, or token). Cards 1 to 6 are commons, while card 7 is a common card that can be a reprint.
Quite surprisingly, Amazon is fairly low on stock for most Edge of Eternities boosters right now, but you can still find plenty at trusted sites like TCGPlayer who either have a better deal, or just stock in general.
