5 Amazing games that are leaving the PS+ Catalogue very soon
Image via Sony The situation with the PlayStation Plus Game Catalogue is that it will always change, and new games will appear on it, and some games could be secretly taken away. As much as new additions are ever interesting, it is difficult to lose some great games. This month, there are a number of notable games due to be removed from the PS+ club, and in case you have not yet played these games, do it before it is too late. Whether it be emotional journeys through life or crazed weapons-blazing missions in open worlds, these five games are a special experience, and as they say, time is fleeting, so this list will not last long. Must-play PS+ Games leaving the catalogue soon PlayStation Plus: Catalog Games Leaving Explained Here are five incredible games leaving PS+ soon that are worth your time. 1. Inscryption More than a card game, Inscryption is a wild blend of strategy, escape from puzzles, and psychological horror. It switches the plot all the time, dragging you even further into its distorted world. If you are in search of something new and really head-scratching, then you better not miss it, or it will be gone. 2. Ghostwire: Tokyo Set up in a beautifully haunted version of Tokyo, this action-adventure blends supernatural combat with atmospheric exploration. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Spectacular Cirque Charity GCE Read More Undo You will cast spells, fight ghosts, and solve mysteries based on Japanese folktales. It looks cool and spooky, and none of the other content on the platform can be compared to it. 3. Tchia Tchia is an emotional open-world adventure with a touch of soul-jumping, island exploring, and music influenced by the culture and landscapes of New Caledonia. It looks colorful, peaceful, and adorable, a pure feel-good game that will stand out among them all. 4. Far Cry 5 When it comes to chaotic shootouts, Ubisoft's popular open world, and explosives, all shot in a better-than-usual way to deal with them, then Far Cry 5 is everything you could ask for. The game unfolds in a cult-run American countryside and is full of action and unforgettable characters. It is one of the old-fashioned games in the series, but it still manages to be good nowadays. 5. Marvel's Avengers Although its multiplayer features are no longer supported, Marvel Avengers combines a good single-player campaign and dramatic moments of being a hero. With Iron Man flying around and Thor going thunderous, there is a good deal of action here to satisfy the Marvel audience; just make sure to get it before it disappears. The five games are as varied in both genre and gameplay experience as they are in name, and their loss in the PS+ Game Catalogue is significant in that it signifies the end of a good era. Make sure to download and play them as long as you can, because once they disappear, these incredible games may never pop up ever again. Game On Season 1 continues with Mirabai Chanu's inspiring story. Watch Episode 2 here.

New Rumor About the MCU's Next THOR Project Could Mean a Shift Away From Chris Hemsworth's Reign — GeekTyrant
Aside from Chris Hemsworth's casting in Avengers: Doomsday , Marvel has been pretty quiet about the future of Thor. There has been some talk about a fifth Thor film, but nothing official has been announced, and if this new rumor is true, it makes sense as to why. Industry insider Daniel Richtman revealed (via CB) that Marvel Studios is developing a project known as Thor Quest , a title from a 2023 children's book centered on a young Thor's first quest to find Mjolnir. There's no information pointing toward whether the Marvel Studios project is a movie or a TV show, but potentially shifting the focus to a young version of Thor could mean Hemworth's God of Thunder might indeed be retiring the character after the next Avengers crossover. This, like all rumors, is just that for now, but it could point to a reason behind Hemsworth's farewell-esque tribute video that he shared last month. As usual, we will just have to wait and see how it all pans out.

Amid soft demand for RVs and motor homes, Thor Industries to buy back shares worth up to $400 million
The RV manufacturer believes the stock price doesn't fully reflect the Fortune 500 company's true value and authorized purchasing stock back through the end of July 2027. CEO Bob Martin said the move is a 'testament to our ability to generate cash even in tougher markets'. Thor Industries will buy back stock amid an ongoing industry slump, expressing its view equity markets are not properly valuing the world's largest manufacturer of recreational vehicles. On Tuesday, the company said its board authorized a program to purchase up to $400 million worth of shares over the next 25 months expiring at the end of July 2027. The move comes amid a marked underperformance versus the broader equity market, with Thor Industries dropping 9% since the start of this year versus a 3.7% gain in the S&P 500 benchmark index. Chief Executive Bob Martin said the decision reflects its commitment to enhancing shareholder value as well as its financial discipline. 'Our ability to repurchase this volume of shares is a testament to our ability to generate cash even in tougher markets,' Martin said in a statement. Thor is forecasting wholesale RV shipments between 320,400 and 337,000 for the industry, which would likely mean a decline over the 333,733 towable and motorized vehicles achieved last year. At present the company expects little relief for 2026, when tariffs start to be felt more acutely by customers. The RV market has been mired with too much inventory relative to soft demand; higher costs from steel and aluminum tariffs; as well as warranty costs stemming from manufacturing quality problems covered this week by the Wall Street Journal. On Wednesday, competitor Winnebago Industries cut its financial guidance for the second straight quarter, further trimming its revenue forecast but more importantly slashing its fiscal full year profit target to the bone. Instead of the $2.40 to $3.90 earnings per share it saw originally, or even the $2.10-$3.10 it most recently anticipated, it now expect EPS of just $0.50-1.00 for the fiscal year to end-August. Thor Industries was founded in 1980, when two entrepreneurs acquired Airstream, the manufacturer of towable trailers best know for their distinctive bullet shape and polished aluminum bodies popular in the vintage 50s aesthetic. Through a series of domestic and cross border acquisitions, the company rose to become the world's largest RV manufacturer. 'As we look ahead, we will continue to be buyers of our stock as long as its price is disconnected with our long-term value proposition, underscoring our confident in the strength of our company and the potential for future growth,' CEO Martin said.

Home of 'Devil's Punch bowl' in Surrey declared national nature reserve
A Surrey landscape which is home to lizards and an area known as the Devil's Punch bowl has been designated a national nature reserve. Natural England, which advises the Government on the environment, announced the creation of the Wealden Heaths National Nature Reserve in Hindhead on Friday. This means the 2,766-hectare landscape has been marked out as an area of focus for conservation and nature restoration efforts. The landscape boasts a rich mix of habitats, including acidic grassland, regenerating woodland and heath – making it a haven for rare species such as sand lizards, nightjars, adders and natterjack toads. The reserve is also home to the Devil's Punch bowl – a natural amphitheatre in the heathlands near Hindhead, which is said to have been formed when the Devil scooped up earth to throw at Thor. It inspired literary figures such as Arthur Conan Doyle and Alfred Lord Tennyson, who wrote Flower In The Crannied Wall in Waggoners Well. The new reserve, which is on the doorsteps of more than 250,000 people, combines the existing Thursley National Nature Reserve with 2,440 hectares of partner-managed land – of which 1,784 hectares are designated as a site of special scientific interest (SSSI). Nature minister Mary Creagh said: 'This new reserve offers wonderful opportunities for people to experience the outdoors and spot rare wildlife in a place which has been a source of cultural inspiration for centuries. 'This Government is committed to turning the tide on nature's decline after years of neglect.' Marian Spain, chief executive of Natural England, said: 'The beautiful atmospheric landscape has had a huge influence in culture over the centuries, from folklore to poetry. 'Its new status as a national nature reserve will ensure future generations continue to be inspired. 'There is a wealth of species here, many of which are very rare, and efforts to maintain the vital habitats in this area will help these plants and animals to thrive again.' Features such as the Thursley Common Boardwalk, which was named 'Britain's Favourite Path' by the Ramblers Association, mean the area remains a popular destination, especially given its fast connections to London. It has also benefited from Government funding for restoring the heathlands and connecting them with special habitats found in the western-most section of the Surrey Hills National Landscape. While heathland habitats are important carbon sinks and biodiversity, they have declined by around 80% in England in the last two centuries. As a national nature reserve, the area's heathlands will be the focus of further protection and conservation efforts. The launch of the reserve marks the ninth to be declared as part of the King's Series, which aims to create or extend 25 national nature reserves by 2027. It comes as part of wider Government efforts to boost the UK's environment, as one of the most nature-depleted countries in the world. This new reserve is a collaboration between nine partners; Natural England, RSPB, National Trust, Surrey Wildlife Trust, Hampton Estate, Amphibian and Reptile Conservation Trust, Waverley Borough Council, Surrey County Council and Forestry England, with further support from the Surrey Hills National Landscape.
