PlayStation has canceled Ratchet & Clank: Ranger Rumble, its free-to-play mobile spin-off of the platforming series, a year after it entered soft launch.
The game’s final update rolled out on November 6, according to a statement on its official website. It will be delisted from the App Store and Google Play on November 21, and its servers go offline on May 1, 2027.
“We’ve made the difficult decision to cease development of Ratchet & Clank: Ranger Rumble,” the statement reads.
Players can no longer spend real money in the game, and the previously paid Super Pass has been made free. Qwark Pass seasons will keep running until shutdown.
French studio Oh BiBi developed Ratchet & Clank: Ranger Rumble in partnership with Insomniac Games. It initially soft-launched in November 2025 in the Philippines and Indonesia, and later expanded to Norway, Sweden, Finland, Denmark, France, Canada, and the UK. Global pre-registration opened in July, but it never received a worldwide release.
Ranger Rumble generated around $62,000 in player spending and 391,000 downloads across iOS and Android during its year in soft launch, according to AppMagic estimates.
Sony’s San Diego Studio has had more success with MLB The Show Mobile, which launched globally in May after a soft launch the previous October. AppMagic estimates it has brought in $2.3 million from 1.9 million downloads.
Sony set out ambitious mobile targets in 2022, telling investors that mobile titles would make up 10% of its first-party releases by March 2023 and 20% by March 2026. Later that year, it acquired mobile developer Savage Game Studios and hired executives from Apple, Kabam, Meta, and Tencent to build out a dedicated mobile division.
Savage Game Studios – later renamed Neon Koi – closed in October 2024 without releasing a game, alongside the high-profile closure of Concord developer Firewalk Studios.
Sony’s biggest mobile earners sit outside PlayStation, at Sony Music-owned Aniplex, publisher of Fate/Grand Order and Disney Twisted-Wonderland. AppMagic estimates the Sony group’s mobile apps have grossed $4.9 billion to date, with 88% of that coming from Japan.
Season 4 of Spy x Family is officially on the way in 2027, and that’s not all, as the franchise’s second theatrical film is also headed to theaters next year. The anime adaptation of Tatsuya Endo’s web manga series became an instant hit when its first season aired in 2022, and its most recent third season earned largely positive reviews from fans and critics alike. Those wanting to see more of Loid, Anya, and Yor’s hijinks on both small and big screens will soon be luck, as plenty of fresh content is on the way.
Endo’s acclaimed shonen manga series has been published on the Shonen Jump+ app and website since March 2019, and over the years, it has inspired everything from light novels and musicals to video games and amusement park attractions. The anime adaptation, produced by Wit Studio and CloverWorks, has received critical acclaim for its humor, action, character development, voice acting, and approach to humor, which makes it suitable for viewers of all ages. Season 3 concluded in December 2025, and fans eager for more won’t have to wait long.
Spy x Family Season 4 and Second Movie Coming in 2027
During a recent event in Japan, Season 4 of Spy x Family was confirmed, with the anime currently in production and on track for a 2027 release. Additionally, the franchise’s second theatrical film is also slated to hit theaters next year, with more details to be revealed at a later date. Yasuhiro Akamatsu, known for his work on Attack on Titan, Naruto: Shippuden, and Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress, will be directing the series’ fourth season.
In 2023, the series’ first official film, Spy x Family Code: White, was released, earning positive reviews from critics and pulling in over $246 million worldwide. Fans were also treated to some good humor in July 2023, as Spy x Family collaborated with the film Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One. Fans were treated to a parody poster featuring the main characters of the anime replacing the Mission: Impossible cast, showing just how big the franchise has become since its humble beginnings in 2019.
Spy x Family follows a spy known as Twilight who is tasked with building a family to execute a difficult mission. What he doesn’t realize is that his adopted daughter has the ability to read minds, and his wife is an incredibly skilled assassin. This leads to plenty of ridiculous situations, and while its humor is a major selling point, its more dramatic moments have also been well received. To date, Spy x Family has sold over 42 million copies, putting it on par with other hit manga series like Shaman King, The Promised Neverland, and Yu-Gi-Oh!
Guess the anime from the emojis.

GAME na game na sinagot ni “The Voice USA” 2024 grand champion Sofronio Vasquez ang tungkol sa kanyang gender preference.
Hanggang ngayon kasi ay may mga kumuwestiyon sa kanyang pagkalalaki at kung kani-kanino pa siya inili-link.
Nakachikahan ng BANDERA si Sofronio at ng tatlo pang miyembro ng entertainment media at isa nga sa mga naitanong sa kanya ay ang hindi mamatay-matay na isyu about his gender.
Sa halip na mainis at mapikon, dinededma na lang daw ng singer ang tungkol dito.
“No. I appreciate everything. I appreciate everyone. So, if they say something about my personal life, I don’t mind,” ang pahayag ni Sofronio.
Natatawa na nga lang daw siya kapag nakakabasa o nakakarinig ng balita na kung kani-kanino ikinakabit ang pangalan niya.
“Oo, nakakatawa ngayon. Minsan sinasakyan ko na rin. Pero sinasabi ko na nga po. Mas maganda ngayon, napag-usapan ka.
“Whether… I mean, it’s ano lang yun, e. It’s how you respond to a topic or to an issue.
Baka Bet Mo: Sofronio Vasquez nakatanggap daw ng ‘maleta’ kay PBBM: FAKE NEWS!
“Huwag naman yung personal na makaka-risk na ng security ng family ko or mismo sa sarili ko. Pero other than that, okay lang.
“Generally, masaya ako na napag-usapan ako. Pero sana, yung pag-uusap na positive. Pero pag may negative, okay lang din. Parang lilipas din yan,” ang positibong pananaw ni Sofronio.
Ang tanging concern lang daw niya ay yung malagay sa alanganin o panganib ang kanyang pamilya.
Walang binanggit na mga detalye si Sofronio pero posibleng ang tinutukoy niya ang ang pinagdaanan ng kanyang pamilya noon sa Ozamis City.
“Yung ano lang, e… yung para sa security lang ng family ko. Kasi sa amin, we’ve been through a lot. Kasi yung mga sinasabi na… I can explain later siguro du’n sa security ng family namin.
“Yung sinasabi nila na sa Mindanao, oo. I mean, just in case kung totoo man yung nangyari sa family ko…
“The sins of my family is not my sin. Kung ano man, alam mo yun. Sana, magkaroon sila ng tamang pagsasalaysay.
“Kasi nangyari na yun, alam mo yun. Pero pag babalikan ko, wala na talaga akong magagawa. I’m just here to move forward.
“I cannot deny that I’m part of that family. So, I’m happy. I’m happy, and even proud na despite du’n sa mga challenges, I’m here.
“I’m talking to everyone na dati hindi ko naman kayo makikilala, alam mo yun,” ang pahayag pa ni Sofronio.

A financially motivated threat group has used the Artex pen-testing framework in attacks against banking and other industry firms in Southeast Asia and across the globe, according to a report Friday by Microsoft Threat Intelligence.
The Cambodia-based actor, tracked as Storm 3358, began the attacks in October using a combination of Artex along with conventional tools, according to researchers. The hackers exploited server-side request forgery and anonymous file-upload flaws before installing remote-access Trojans.
The campaign marked the latest in a growing wave of attacks using Artex, an AI-enabled pen-testing tool that allows hackers to automate attacks well beyond human capabilities.
In recent months, hackers have used Artex against South Korean banks, dozens of Japanese companies and abuse of ConnectWise Cloud Backup against Microsoft 365 tenants, linked to a China-based actor tracked as Storm-0940.
CrowdStrike linked threat activity from an actor it tracks as Vapor Panda to a global espionage campaign using Artex against 200 organizations across the globe.
The Indian Computer Emergency Response Team last week reported a campaign using Artex and other AI-enabled tooling against a range of fintechs, digital lenders and non-banking financial companies.
Indian officials said a threat actor tracked as Crafty Falcon has used Artex and other AI-based tools like Cairn and the PentAGI pen testing framework.
Microsoft researchers on Thursday reported hackers using Artex to scan GitHub for exposed credentials.
Observed tactics
The Cambodia-based actor has used vshell and AdaptixC2 remote-access Trojans to gain persistence and enable lateral movement, according to researchers. Hackers have also used utilities such as curl and netcat to download the remote-access Trojans onto compromised systems.
Researchers said that setting up defensive honeypots or decoys can sometimes divert autonomous AI attackers away from legitimate targets. They often convince the agent that a successful attack has been completed and drain time and financial resources from the attacker.
The Rinnegan is a legendary Dojutsu introduced first by Masashi Kishimoto in the Naruto series. It is known to be an incredibly powerful eye with godly abilities that allow one to rule over life and death itself. In the Boruto series, the powers of the Rinnegan were wielded by the legendary Sasuke Uchiha, the protagonist of the series, and by some other legendary figures, such as those of the Otsutsuki, like Momoshiki. However, the Boruto series has taken a very radical approach with this and many other Kekkei Genkai.
It has now been confirmed that the Rinnegan is practically dead in Boruto, both in terms of existence and what this ability truly means for the shinobi of the world, and its return at this point seems increasingly unlikely.
Boruto Erases Sasuke’s Status As The Last Rinnegan User

At the end of the Naruto series, in Chapter 700, which was officially released on November 10, 2014, in Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump Issue 50, Sasuke Uchiha was the only known person alive with a Rinnegan at his disposal. Following the timeskip that led into the Boruto era, this remained true, and even when the threat of Momoshiki and Kinshiki arrived, they did not last long. Momoshiki was eventually killed by the combined effort of Naruto, Sasuke, and Boruto, which meant that this Rinnegan user perished, leaving behind Sasuke as the sole Rinnegan user in the canon of the series.
“There, I’ve blocked your pesky space-time ninjutsu [Rinnegan]. There’s no escape for you now. It’s the second time I’ve manifested. It sure is nice being free.” — Momoshiki Otsutsuki destroys Sasuke’s Rinnegan, Boruto: Naruto Next Generations Chapter #53
Unfortunately, all this changed when Sasuke’s Rinnegan was taken from him in Boruto: Naruto Next Generations Chapter 53, released officially on December 20, 2020, in V-Jump Issue 2. Momoshiki Otsutsuki, after having taken over the body of Boruto Uzumaki, stabbed Sasuke’s Rinnegan and destroyed it. Not only did this shut down Sasuke’s space-time ninjutsu, but it also took away his Six Paths Powers permanently from him, nerfing him drastically in the process. As Sasuke stood as the last Rinnegan user among the Shinobi kind, this was quite an underwhelming way for his powers to be taken away from him and for him to be nerfed permanently.

“Sorry, you’ll have to wait a bit longer, Master Sasuke.” — Boruto Uzumaki fails to save Sasuke, Boruto: Two Blue Vortex Chapter #4
Over three years have passed since then in the ninja world, and Sasuke Uchiha remains without the Rinnegan. What’s worse, and even more terrible, a fate has followed him in the Two Blue Vortex series. It was confirmed in Boruto: Two Blue Vortex, Chapter 4, titled “The Awakening,” released on November 20, 2023, that Sasuke Uchiha is sealed away and turned into a tree. He fell prey to one of the Claw Grimes, which led to the birth of the Shinju Hidari. Now, Boruto Uzumaki and all the others are working to bring Sasuke back, but even upon his return, his Rinnegan will not be returned to him.
With No Rinnegan User, The Kekkei Genkai Is Officially Dead
Image created by the author Rei Penber using official Naruto assets.
The Rinnegan was once the most exalted of all Kekkei Genkai that existed in the ninja world. Its importance and power were there for all to see in the original Naruto series, so for this eye to fall off as badly as it did in Boruto is truly unfortunate. Mikio Ikemoto has underexplored many elements of the original story that Kishimoto established in Naruto. This becomes especially apparent when many other Rinnegan users simply don’t make use of this power in the way that it is intended.
“Perhaps you are the incarnation of the Sage. I have a feeling that the Sage’s hopes were bestowed upon your eyes [Rinnegan].” — Jiraiya shows the importance of the Rinnegan
For instance, all the new Shinju who were officially revealed to us in Boruto: Two Blue Vortex Chapter 4 on November 20, 2023, wielded the power of the Rinnegan. However, none of them use it in the way that it is supposed to be utilized. In essence, the Rinnegan grants one the Six Paths Powers and a Seventh Path that allows them to rule over life and death. In some cases, it also grants the user unique abilities, such as Limbo Hengoku in the case of Madara Uchiha, and Amenotejikara in the case of Sasuke.
However, none of the Shinju manifest even a single ability from these, which goes to show that this eye is more of a design choice for them than actually being the useful Kekkei Genkai that it is. In other words, both in terms of practicality and spirituality, the Rinnegan is practically dead in the Boruto series, and that is quite a disappointing reality for the Naruto and Boruto fans to face.
Why The Ten Tails Dojutsu Is Not Comparable To The Real Rinnegan
Alongside the Shinju, the Ten Tails has also been utilizing the power of the Rinnegan in the Boruto series. Unfortunately, as is the case with the Shinju, this Rinnegan is there for show as well. It does not grant any specific jutsu to the user of the Ten Tails’ powers or to the Ten Tails itself. Right now, the Ten Tails has incarnated itself in the form of Jura, which was confirmed to us in Boruto: Two Blue Vortex Chapter 14, released on September 20, 2024. Yet Jura does not wield even a single ability of the Rinnegan that Masashi Kishimoto set in the original Naruto series. Instead, Jura heavily relies on abilities like Tailed Beast Bombs or Wood Release in combat.
“Jura is a special case. Unlike the others, he has no prototype. He is a direct incarnation of the Ten-Tails, and the one steering this crisis we’re facing right now.” — Boruto Uzumaki confirms Jura’s power, Boruto: Two Blue Vortex Chapter #14
Had the Rinnegan been utilized to its fullest potential, we would have loved to see godly abilities being shown by the likes of Jura and the other Shinju. Unfortunately, that is not the reality that we are faced with. In either case, Sasuke was the last true user of the Rinnegan, but even he was nerfed significantly in Boruto and was not allowed to use his Six Paths Powers or the Seventh Outer Path in any way or form. In his case, the Rinnegan was practically reduced to Amenotejikara and opening portals to travel between dimensions.

Right now, Boruto: Two Blue Vortex is actively working towards the return of Sasuke Uchiha, with Chapter 39 expected on November 20, 2026. When Sasuke does make a comeback, he will do so without the power of the Rinnegan, but perhaps in some way or form, this eye may be restored in the future. If that is the case, we can only hope that Mikio Ikemoto learns from his mistakes and allows Sasuke and other Rinnegan users to use all the Six Paths powers alongside the Outer Path to truly show the godly status of this Kekkei Genkai that has long been undervalued in Boruto.
All chapters of Naruto by Masashi Kishimoto and Boruto by Mikio Ikemoto are available for fans to read via Manga Plus and Viz Media.
NAGKAROON ng samaan ng loob at hindi pagkakaunawaan ang mga komedyanteng sina Pepita Curtis at Ate Gay.
Nagpapasalamat si Pepita na napapanood ngayon sa seryeng “Born to Shine” ng GMA 7 na bago namayapa si Ate Gay ay nagkaroon sila ng chance na maayos ang kanilang pagkakaibigan.
Pumanaw si Ate Gay o Gil Aducal Morales sa tunay na buhay noong November 1, eksaktong All Saints’ Day, matapos makipaglaban sa cancer.
Sa panayam ng “Fast Talk with Boy Abunda” kay Pepita, inamin niyang hindi maganda ang relasyon nila ng kanyang “Super Mom” bago ito mawala.
“Kasi two months akong nawala, nasa UK ako. Pagkauwi ko, medyo on and off kami na mag-ina, ni Ate Gay.
“Meron kaming away, tapos bati kami. So mga two months, medyo hindi kami nag-uusap, hindi pagkakaunawaan,” kuwento ng Kapuso comedian.
Kaya pag-uwi raw niya sa Pilipinas noong Agosto, expected na niyang hindi siya kakausapin o papansinin ni Ate Gay.
Alam daw kasi niyang wala sa ugali nito ang lumapit sa junior sa kanya sa mundo ng comedy bar, kahit siya pa ang may kasalanan.

“Lumaki ako sa comedy bar na ganu’n si Mama. Ganu’n siya na kahit siya minsan ‘yung nakakasakit, pero dapat talagang ikaw ‘yung mag-aano sa kanya, bilang respeto sa kanya,” ani Pepita.
Pero na-shock daw siya nang si Ate Gay pa ang unang bumati sa kanya noong magkita uli sila, na never umanong ginawa ng kilalang impersonator ni Superstar Nora Aunor.
“Siya talaga ‘yung unang nag-approach na hindi ginagawa ni Ate Gay, ‘yun kasi as pioneer, nanay-nanayan, kami talaga muna ‘yung dapat mag-a-approach.
“Pero this time, nagulat ako, bigla na lang niya akong kinausap. ‘Uy, ang taba mo na, ah?’ sabi niya sa ‘kin,” pag-alala ni Pepita.
“Kaya sabi ko talaga, ‘Lord, salamat, kasi bago mawala si Ate Gay, ‘yung two months na nawala ako, ‘yung two months na hindi kami nag-uusap, pag-uwi ko sa Pilipinas, okay kami bago siya mawala,” ang saad pa ni Pepita Curtis.
