If you’re reading this, chances are you already own way too many Pop figures and are peeping this article for an excuse to add just one more figure to your already crowded shelf or cabinet. That’s totally okay, of course; collecting things is fun! Funko Fair 2021 is kicking off with a new line of figures ripe for pre-ordering. As such, we’ve gathered some of the coolest Pops based on gaming and pop (ah) culture as a whole. Your wallet can thank us later. 


First up is Eivor from Assassin’s Creed Valhalla. Unfortunately, only the male variant is available, but he should look good sitting next to you as you upgrade your homestead or help a weird lady fart better. 

Next up is Wolf, the hero of Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. That game is really hard, so hopefully getting your hands on one of these bad boys is a bit easier. 

Let’s be honest, if you love Pop figures and Pokémon, collecting is just in your blood. So combine both habits with these new versions of Pikachu, Psyduck, Meowth, and a silver Bulbasaur.

Because I like wrestling and Reiner made the foolish mistake of assigning me this article, I snuck this bad boy in. Marvel at “Stone Cold” Steve Austin and The Rock facing off inside of a 2000s era Monday Night Raw ring.

Dragon Ball fans probably don’t have enough Goku Pop figures, so here’s another Goku to Goku with your Goku.

Who you gonna call? This Egon Spengler Pop figure, that’s who! 

Speaking of rebounds, how about that Dennis Rodman? I would have gone with his Double Team incarnation, but this probably conjures fonder memories of the basketball legend. Plus, this is Funko we're talking about; you know Double Team Rodman is probably on the way. 

Star Wars' Rey and Kylo Ren aren't packaged together, which is a mistake since they're canonically sweethearts or something. Smooches don't lie no matter how awkward or unnecessary. Anyway, here they are looking worse for wear after enduring months of bad Rise of Skywalker reviews. 

There's plenty more where these came from, so be sure to check out Funko's full sale catalog (which updates frequently as figures are announced) to find that perfect figure for you and yours. For more cool Pop figures, check out this series based on Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales

Netflix is continuing on its gaming adaptations streak with a new animated CGI series called Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness. While we've known about the upcoming show for a while now, we have yet to learn more about what it will be like beyond a few stills and the initial teaser trailer. In a world set a few years after the events of Resident Evil 4, Capcom shared another new look at the upcoming Resident Evil show with a second video. 

Netflix has previously teased the new series, saying "When biohazards run wild, only a pair of veteran zombie slayers can get the job done," reads the social media caption alongside the still reveal. Netflix also states that this will be set within the canon of Capcom's universe and that it will be arriving sometime next year." 

The latest teaser trailer can be seen below, showing off more of Leon and Claire, at the end of the showcase:

The upcoming animated series will take place a few years after the events of Resident Evil 4, seeing both Leon Kennedy and Claire Redfield together once more to face off against a brand new outbreak. While Capcom did not confirm when the new series will air, we do at least have a small trailer to tide us over until more is revealed in the coming months. 

While enticing, the latest look at the upcoming series didn't really offer a feel for what's to come, which makes sense given that it is a teaser, but the "horror series with a sci-fi twist" definitely looks appealing. Animated also seems to be the way to go with an adaptation such as this, but only time will tell how this show fares when paired up against Netflix's many other projects.

Earlier this month, Capcom invited a select number of players to join in on a closed beta test for a PvP experience meant to celebrate 25 years of the iconic Resident Evil franchise. That testing period is set to go live next week, but we do have our first look at what those players will enjoy with Capcom's reveal of RE: Verse. 

While many players enjoyed Project Resistance, a spin-off multiplayer experience set within the Resident Evil universe, RE: Verse is an all-out PvP journey that pits iconic characters against one another. In the video below, Capcom's Tsuyoshi Kanda revealed our first look at RE: Reverse, including a shootout between Leon Kennedy and Claire Redfield.

The above trailer starts off with a Leon Kennedy running through a seemingly abandoned station, donning that familiar RPD gear. As he prepares to go through an open doorway, he's confronted by none other than Claire Redfield. In this world, however, they aren't allies, they're enemies, and that PvP flare kicks off with a comedic Western-style shootout closeup before the two fire rounds into one another. 

In our first look at the multiplayer spin-off, we see staples throughout the franchise like Mr. X, Jill Valentine, Chris Redfield, and more. With special attacks modeled after real moves in-game, RE: Verse is a kill or be killed online adventure that allows fans to harness their inner...well, whoever! 

RE: Verse was created specifically to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Resident Evil franchise on March 22 and it is one of "many" ways Capcom intends to celebrate with fans. The studio promises that even more surprises are on the way in the coming months, making it an incredibly exciting time to be a horror fan. 

There was so much revealed today, including more gameplay, a PS5-exclusive demo, and so much more. To catch up on all of the revelations ala Resident Evil Village, check out our previous coverage here. As for the game itself, Resident Evil Village arrives on May 7, 2021 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.

In addition to a new Resident Evil Village trailer and some demo footage in anticipation for the next horrific chapter in the franchise, some extra content stemming from the game series’ 25th Anniversary was premiered during the showcase. Following the gameplay reel of the new PVP-focused RE: Verse and another trailer for the upcoming Internal Darkness Netflix film, Ubisoft’s Massive Entertainment announced a crossover event with The Division 2 and Resident Evil. 

For a limited time, players will have the opportunity to collect classic cosmetic items like exclusive outfits and weapon skins inspired by the original Resident Evil trilogy. Every player that simply logs in during the event gets the Leon Kennedy police uniform. The in-game footage is reminiscent of the zombie outbreak that led to the total decimation of Racoon City - e.g., burning vehicles and buildings, abandoned streets, and all. There’s also an eerie reveal of an armored soldier towards the end of the trailer but whether or not zombies will be roaming The Division 2’s metropolis is yet to be seen.

The crossover event starts on February 2 and ends on February 15. 

From a new trailer to impressive gameplay, Capcom is spreading that horror love with a ton of Resident Evil Village news! For those fans itching to get their hands on the newest title first, a PS5-exclusive beta goes live today with our first look at exactly what that will have to offer those brave enough to dive in. Don't have a PS5? No worries! A different demo will be going live for all other platforms at a later date, but first, let's take a look at what the new-gen experience has in store. 

In the PS5 demo, players won't be assuming the role of Ethan Winters, instead, we will be filling the shoes of a character that goes by The Maiden. Check out our first look at the demo below.

The demo for the new generation of PlayStation systems is unique to the PS5, meaning the demo that other platform players play will be different. For this particular early access period, however, players will encounter a different kind of experience: No combat, no wares, just the one objective of escaping a deadly castle before it's too late. 

Now that the showcase is a wrap, the PS5 demo is available today. For other platforms, Capcom also confirmed that a separate play period will be coming soon "sometime in Spring." While not an exact date, it is nice to know that everyone will get a chance to get some hands-on time with the future of Resident Evil before it launches later this year.
