Toei Animation has dropped a brand-new trailer for One Piece: Heroines, the upcoming TV anime special spotlighting the women of the One Piece world. The special airs on Fuji TV on 5 July 2026, and the trailer is out now — watch it below.
What Is One Piece: Heroines?
One Piece: Heroines is a standalone single-episode TV special based on the source novel by Jun Esaka, with Nami taking centre stage as the protagonist. The special follows the Straw Hat navigator on an original adventure, with Nico Robin also making an appearance.
Guest Cast and Theme Song
The special brings in two high-profile guest voice actors:
Maaya Sakamoto as Miucha
Takehito Koyasu as Lubun
The theme song is “Blue Shining Star”, performed by AiNA THE END.
Can Singapore Fans Watch It?
International streaming details are yet to be announced. The special will premiere on Fuji TV in Japan on 5 July 2026. Fans outside Japan should watch for official announcements from Toei’s international distribution partners.
If you want to catch up on the manga in the meantime, Viz Media has English volumes available now.
We’ll update this post if a streaming platform is confirmed for Southeast Asia. Keep an eye on our other anime news for the latest.
Lords of the Fallen II won’t be arriving this holiday season after all. Developer Hexworks and publisher CI Games have confirmed the Soulslike sequel has been pushed to Q1 2027 — and they’re being unusually candid about one of the reasons: GTA VI is a nightmare to compete with during the holidays.
Lords of the Fallen II – Official Announcement Trailer — via CI Games on YouTube
Why the Delay?
In a statement this week, CI Games cited feedback from a dedicated “Gameplay Feedback Team of seasoned Souls-like veterans” whose input identified areas to “further refine and elevate key aspects of the experience.” The studio says it would rather take more time than ship a less-polished product into an already brutal holiday window.
The developer was refreshingly honest about the commercial reality too. As PC Gamer put it, GTA VI has effectively cleared the holiday field — the game’s cultural dominance this season makes the Q4 window punishing for any title without a nine-figure marketing budget. Singapore pre-orders for GTA VI have already opened (we covered it earlier today), and that level of hype leaves little oxygen for even a well-reviewed Soulslike sequel.
What We Know About Lords of the Fallen II
The game was world-premiered at Summer Game Fest 2026 to strong reception. A sequel to Hexworks’ critically praised 2023 reboot, it continues the dual-world mechanic that set the original apart from its Soulslike peers — players simultaneously traverse Axiom (the realm of the living) and Umbral (the realm of the dead), with each world affecting the other in real time.

Confirmed platforms: PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store. The Nintendo Switch 2 version — announced during the Nintendo Direct in June 2026 — is particularly welcome; the 2023 original never reached Nintendo hardware, making this a first for the franchise on a Nintendo platform.
What This Means for Singapore Players
A Q1 2027 launch puts Lords of the Fallen II somewhere between January and March 2027 for Singapore. The delay isn’t ideal, but it gives Singapore gamers a breather after a packed holiday season — and a well-polished Soulslike in the quieter early-year window could land with much more impact than if it had launched alongside GTA VI.
Local pricing has not been confirmed yet. Based on comparable Switch 2 titles currently available in Singapore, expect a range of around SGD 74–89 depending on platform and retailer. Watch our Game News section for pre-order details when they land.
Last words
A delay is never fun, but Hexworks has earned some goodwill — the 2023 reboot was a genuine return to form after years of the Lords of the Fallen name being associated with a disappointing original. More polish time, combined with the competitive breathing room of Q1 2027, sets the sequel up well. Singapore’s action-RPG fans should add it to their 2027 watchlist.
Grand Theft Auto VI pre-orders are now live — or going live today, 25 June — on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, with Rockstar Games officially confirming a 19 November 2026 release date. If you have been counting down since Trailer 1 broke internet records in 2023, the time to lock in your copy is now.

GTA VI Pre-Order Date and Platforms Confirmed
Rockstar Games confirmed via its official Newswire that pre-orders begin on 25 June 2026, opening across the PlayStation Store, Xbox Store, the Rockstar Games Launcher, and selected physical retailers globally. The game launches simultaneously on:
PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 5 Pro
Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S
There is no PC version announced for 2026, and a Nintendo Switch 2 edition has not been confirmed. Rockstar historically brings GTA titles to PC 12–18 months after the console release, but no date has been given.
Which Editions Are Available?
GTA VI is available in at least two tiers: a Standard Edition and a Deluxe Edition, per the GamesRadar pre-order tracker. Rockstar has not officially published pricing as of writing — expect that to be confirmed in the storefront listings when pre-orders go fully live. If the pattern of GTA V and Red Dead Redemption 2 holds, the Deluxe tier will likely bundle GTA Online in-game currency and exclusive cosmetics, but details are to be confirmed. We will update this article as soon as official pricing is published.
What Is GTA VI About?
Set across the fictional State of Leonida — built around a sun-drenched, neon-lit reimagining of Vice City — GTA VI follows two protagonists: Jason Duval and Lucia Caminos. Lucia is the first playable female lead in a mainline Grand Theft Auto game, a milestone Rockstar barely had to announce; it simply showed up in Trailer 1 and sent the internet into overdrive. The two are entangled in a criminal conspiracy that spans swamps, beaches, and gleaming high-rises — all rendered in stunning detail on PS5 hardware.
Trailer 2, released in May 2025, clocked more than 475 million views across platforms in its first 24 hours, making it one of the most-watched entertainment trailers in history. A third trailer is widely expected to accompany the pre-order launch.

How to Pre-Order GTA VI in Singapore
Singapore players have two main digital routes:
PS5: Open the PlayStation Store app or website (Singapore region) and search for Grand Theft Auto VI. SGD pricing will display once Rockstar confirms regional rates — to be confirmed.
Xbox: Head to the Microsoft Store on your Series X|S or the Xbox app and search GTA VI.
Physical pre-orders are expected at local gaming retailers such as GameXtreme and major electronics chains — check their websites and storefronts. Physical copies are worth watching for in Singapore, where store exclusives and launch-day bonuses can sometimes differ from digital.
For the latest gaming news including updates as GTA VI pricing and pre-order bonuses are confirmed, stay locked to GameTrader.SG.
Last words
GTA VI is the game Singapore has been waiting years for — and with pre-orders finally live and a November release less than five months away, the hype is entirely justified. Lock in your platform, set aside your budget, and refresh that PlayStation Store or Xbox dashboard. The State of Leonida is almost open for business.
The team behind Splitgate is back. 1047 Games has just launched EMPULSE in Early Access — a 6v6 movement shooter built around wall-running, grapple hooks, and one genuinely refreshing promise: no battle pass, no paid cosmetics, no microtransactions at launch. It is out right now on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam.
Image courtesy of 1047 Games
What Is EMPULSE?
EMPULSE is set in the post-utopian streets of the Freehold district, and puts two teams of six against each other with movement as the central mechanic. The game lets players wallrun forwards and backwards, swing across maps on grapple hooks, launch off Holojumps, and reshape the environment using P.A.I.N.T. Bombs — tactical paint that can create jump-boost pads, speed strips, explosive patches, or healing zones depending on the type you throw.
Controllable mechs also spawn on the map during matches. These come armed with chainguns, rockets, and shield abilities, and they can shift momentum dramatically if a team holds one long enough. Cross-platform multiplayer is supported at launch, so PS5 and PC players share the same pool.
The No-Monetisation Promise
1047 Games have been direct about one thing: “No store, no battle pass, no microtransactions at Early Access launch.” All cosmetics are earned through gameplay rather than purchased. The studio has also described a community-driven roadmap — meaning player feedback gathered through Discord and surveys shapes the development direction, rather than pre-set seasonal schedules locked in months ahead.
Note the qualifier: this is the policy at Early Access launch, not an indefinite pledge. But for a competitive multiplayer title releasing in mid-2026, starting clean stands out. Watch for updates as the game moves toward full launch.
The Early Access price is USD 19.99. SGD pricing on the Singapore PlayStation Store and Steam SG storefront may differ — check your regional store at checkout. PC players who tried the free Steam Next Fest demo earlier this month will upgrade to the full game with their progress carried over.
About 1047 Games
1047 Games built Splitgate, the portal-based shooter that broke records during its viral summer in 2021. EMPULSE is their next game: same commitment to skill-expressive movement, different mechanics — portals are out, and vertical movement mastery is in. The studio has leaned heavily on community communication throughout development, positioning EMPULSE as a game they intend to build alongside its players during Early Access.

Last Words
Singapore’s PC gaming scene loves a movement shooter, and EMPULSE is the freshest thing in that space right now. If Titanfall 2 left a gap in your rotation, this is worth trying today — USD 19.99, no subscriptions, no gotchas at launch.
Anime Expo 2026 kicks off in Los Angeles on 2 July, running through to 5 July at the LA Convention Center — and while most of us won’t be catching flights to California, Singapore fans still have every reason to pay close attention. AX is where the anime and gaming industry makes its biggest summer moves, from streaming premieres to franchise reveals that will eventually hit our queues whether we’re watching from LA or tapping through Netflix on the bus.
Here’s what to watch when the announcements roll in next week.
Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 Gets Its First Closer Look on 3 July
Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 — confirmed by CD Projekt Red and Studio TRIGGER — will receive an exclusive closer look at its panel on 3 July at 7:30 PM PDT (10:30 AM, 4 July in Singapore). Director Kai Ikarashi, showrunner Bartosz Sztybor, executive producer Sara Elder, and host Danny Motta are all confirmed to be there.
Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 | Official Teaser | Netflix — via Netflix on YouTube
The new series is a standalone 10-episode story set in the Cyberpunk 2077 universe — entirely new characters, entirely new story. The tagline: “When the world is blinded by spectacle, what extremes do you have to go to make your story matter?” Season 1 was a global smash on Netflix and a huge hit with Singapore viewers. Everything confirmed at this panel lands in your Singapore queue.

Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle — and a ufotable Tease
A special Peacock Theater event will celebrate Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba — Infinity Castle, featuring voice cast members and exclusive footage from studio ufotable — plus, per the official announcement, a first look at ufotable’s next project. ufotable rarely teases future work this publicly. Whatever they show at AX 2026, it’s likely to be one of the most talked-about moments of the convention.
SEGA and Atlus Bring the Games
SEGA and Atlus will be on the show floor with hands-on demos, exclusive giveaways, signing sessions, and merchandise. If you’re hoping for any Persona, Sonic, or Like a Dragon news this summer, keep your eyes on their AX social updates during the first week of July.
How to Follow From Singapore
AX runs at PDT (UTC-7), which is 15 hours behind Singapore. Major announcements and trailers drop on YouTube and official socials the same day. Follow @AnimeExpo, @Crunchyroll, and @NetflixAnime on X, plus both the Crunchyroll and Netflix YouTube channels, for real-time updates.
Last words
You don’t need a Premiere Fan badge to care about Anime Expo 2026. Every streaming announcement made in that LA convention hall matters for Singapore fans, and this year — Edgerunners 2, a stacked Crunchyroll summer slate, and what could be a landmark ufotable reveal — makes AX 2026 one of the most watchable events of the summer. We’ll track announcements and report back as they drop.
The wait is over. At the Annecy International Animation Film Festival 2026, the Sunrise × SHAFT anime project that has had the fandom buzzing for a week finally has a name: Fool Night. The dark sci-fi thriller will stream exclusively worldwide on Netflix later this year — yes, including Singapore.
「Fool Night」 Teaser PV — via Bandai Namco Film Works on YouTube
What Is Fool Night?
Based on the award-winning manga by Kasumi Yasuda, Fool Night is set in a bleak future where thick clouds permanently block the sun, plunging Earth into endless darkness. With plant life wiped out and oxygen depleting, humanity devised a drastic solution: transfloration, a process that converts dying humans into plant-like organisms to restore the oxygen supply.
At the centre of the story is Toshiro Kamiya, a young man who undergoes transfloration and discovers an unexpected side effect — he can hear plants. That ability sets him on a path to bridge the silence between humans and those who have transformed, a drama of identity, grief, and survival sitting somewhere between hard science fiction and quiet horror.

Two Studios. One Historic First.
This announcement caps a genuine historic milestone: Sunrise and SHAFT have never collaborated on an anime before. Sunrise’s legacy spans Cowboy Bebop, Code Geass, and the entire Gundam franchise; SHAFT built its reputation on the kinetic, visually daring style of Puella Magi Madoka Magica and the Monogatari series. Pairing them on a single dark, atmospheric sci-fi property is a bold creative bet — and the kind that tends to pay off.
Meet the Team Behind It
The production staff is full of names anime fans will recognise:
Director: Atsuyuki Yukawa — previously an episode director on Suzume no Tojimari; Fool Night marks his debut as a chief series director
Series Composition: Jin Tanaka — the writer behind Oshi no Ko
Character Design: Robert Sato
Sound Director: Yota Tsuruoka — credits include A Silent Voice (Koe no Katachi)
Music: Tatsuya Kato — the composer behind the acclaimed Dr. STONE score

The lead voice cast is equally well-matched. Koki Uchiyama — known to many as Tomura Shigaraki in My Hero Academia — voices protagonist Toshiro Kamiya. Minako Kotobuki (Tsumugi in K-On!) plays Yomiko Horai, Toshiro’s childhood friend.
An Award-Winning Manga with a Global Following
Yasuda’s manga is no newcomer to acclaim. Serialised in Shogakukan’s Big Comic Superior since November 2020, it currently runs to 12 volumes. It ranked in Kono Manga ga Sugoi! 2023 — Japan’s reader-voted best manga guide — and took home the Japan Expo DARUMA Award 2023 for Best Suspense in France, signalling international appetite long before any anime was confirmed. Singapore and SEA readers can pick up the English-language volumes through Shogakukan Asia.
Netflix Streams Worldwide — Singapore Included
Netflix confirmed a worldwide exclusive for Fool Night in 2026. No specific episode count or premiere date beyond “2026” was given at Annecy, so keep an eye on the Netflix Singapore page for updates. Given how quickly Netflix rolls out its anime titles globally, expect close-to-simultaneous access for Singapore fans when the series premieres.
Last Words
Midnight in Singapore, and the anime news cycle just woke up. Fool Night checks every box for a prestige Netflix anime: an acclaimed manga source, a career-defining staff roster, and two studios whose visual signatures are so distinct that their collision alone is worth watching. Singapore fans who want to get ahead of the curve can dive into the English manga through Shogakukan Asia now. We will be covering this one closely as a premiere date firms up.

The Wish Pokémon has finally made its Pokémon Pokopia debut — and it arrives bearing a classic piece of Japanese culture that Singapore fans will recognise immediately.
The Wish Upon a Jirachi event is now live in Pokémon Pokopia on Nintendo Switch 2, starting today, 23 June 2026, and running until 8 July at 4:59 a.m. local time. During the event, Jirachi appears at a rebuilt Pokémon Center in your town, kicking off a limited-time quest tied to Japan’s beloved Tanabata (七夕) star festival tradition — the same one where people write wishes on colourful tanzaku papers and hang them from bamboo every 7 July.
What Is the Wish Upon a Jirachi Event in Pokémon Pokopia?
Image courtesy of The Pokémon Company / Nintendo
The event’s full Japanese name is ジラーチのキラキラたんざくあつめ — roughly, “Jirachi’s Sparkling Tanzaku Collection.” Tanzaku are the small paper strips people write wishes on during Tanabata, and the event leans into that theme throughout its quest structure and rewards. It wraps up just before 7 July, giving it a natural Tanabata cadence.
Mechanically, Jirachi hands you a recipe for Wish Notes (the Pokopia take on tanzaku). Craft them at a workbench, then fulfil requests from the Pokémon living in your town. Each completed request transforms a Wish Note into a Sparkling Wish Note, which you exchange with Jirachi for exclusive star-themed furniture. According to Nintendo’s official event page and Famitsu (Japanese), the event is available in standard towns and shared multiplayer “fresh towns,” but not on Cloud Islands.
How to Unlock Jirachi in Your Town
A few things need to be in order before Jirachi will show up:
Update Pokémon Pokopia to version 1.1.0
Complete the main “important wish” story quest
Rebuild at least one Pokémon Center in your town
Launch the game while connected to the internet (the event uses real-world date authentication)
Make sure your Nintendo Switch 2 clock is set to the actual current time
The good news: once you befriend Jirachi before the event closes, it stays in your town permanently even after 8 July.
All the Star-Themed Furniture Up for Grabs
Each Sparkling Wish Note unlocks one furniture piece. The full event reward set is:
Star closet
Starry-sky bed
Cloud table
Jirachi Lamp
Moon clock
Star mat
Star wall decoration
Telescope
Cloud cannon
Placing the star closet, starry-sky bed, cloud table, and Jirachi Lamp together unlocks the “Surrounded by Stars” habitat bonus — note that the Jirachi Lamp needs an electricity connection to complete it.
Also: A Nintendo Switch 2 + Pokopia Bundle Drops on 2 July
Separately, Nintendo has a Nintendo Switch 2 bundle that includes a digital copy of Pokémon Pokopia launching on 2 July 2026. If you have been waiting to pick up the console, that is well-timed — though you will need to move quickly to rebuild your Pokémon Center and catch Jirachi before the 8 July deadline. Check local retailers for SGD pricing.
Last Words
Tanabata is one of Japan’s most loved seasonal traditions, and it is a familiar one for Singapore fans of Japanese culture — from department store decorations to Japanese school events. Seeing it woven into Pokémon Pokopia’s first post-launch limited event adds a lovely layer of meaning for SG players who grew up with both Pokémon and Japanese seasonal customs. The event is live now and runs until 8 July — make your wishes count. Check out more game news on GameTrader.
An independent anime film that turned heads at Cannes and Annecy this year is heading to Singapore: We Are Aliens, directed by first-time feature filmmaker Kohei Kadowaki, has been picked up by Shaw Organisation for a local theatrical release.
Image courtesy of Nothing NewWe Are Aliens — Official Teaser — via NOTHING NEW on YouTube
A 30-Year Friendship, Told Through Rotoscoped Animation
We Are Aliens (Japanese title: Ware Ware wa Uchūjin) follows two boys — Tsubasa and Kyotaro — who become inseparable friends in elementary school, only for a moment of jealousy and misunderstanding to drive them apart. The story spans more than thirty years, slowly revisiting the distance that grew between them and the long shadow it cast into adulthood.
The film runs 102 minutes and uses a distinctive hybrid approach: hand-drawn 2D animation blended with rotoscoping — a technique that traces over live-action footage to capture the tiny, spontaneous gestures of children that are notoriously hard to animate purely by hand. Director Kadowaki, known in Japan for his work on animated music videos (including Yoasobi’s “Comet”), makes his feature directorial debut here, also handling writing, storyboarding, and editing himself.
The film is a Japan–France co-production between Nothing New (Japan) and Miyu Productions (France), with Paris-based Charades managing international sales.
A Rare Double: Cannes Directors’ Fortnight and Annecy Competition
Very few anime films land at Cannes. We Are Aliens had its world premiere in the Directors’ Fortnight (Quinzaine des Cinéastes) sidebar at the 2026 Cannes Film Festival — one of the most prestigious slots in world cinema for independent work. It was also selected for the Feature Film Competition at the Annecy International Animation Film Festival 2026, the world’s leading animation festival. That is a rare double-header, and it put the film on every serious animation buyer’s radar.
Image courtesy of Nothing New
On the film’s approach, director Kadowaki has said: “Designing an experience that would allow audiences to genuinely empathize with the characters after watching the film was absolutely essential,” as relayed in Variety.
Singapore: Shaw Organisation Confirmed as Local Distributor
The distribution news broke today: Shaw Organisation has acquired Singapore rights for We Are Aliens, confirmed via Variety along with a wider regional sweep. The full Asian slate is: Green Narae Media in South Korea, Hooray Films in Taiwan, Intercontinental Film Distributors in Hong Kong, and Sahamongkol Film in Thailand.
Japan theatrical release is slated for fall 2026, with international screenings — including Singapore — planned from 2027. Shaw has not yet confirmed a specific Singapore date.
Image courtesy of Nothing New
Last Words
Singapore does not see many films of this festival pedigree hit local cinema screens through a proper theatrical release — a Cannes Directors’ Fortnight premiere and Annecy Competition slot from an independent Japanese animation studio is genuinely unusual. Shaw’s acquisition signals more than a quiet streaming deal. Keep an eye out: a Singapore release date will most likely surface in late 2026 or early 2027. We’ll update when it’s confirmed. Until then, the teaser above is well worth a watch.
After seven years and nearly four full seasons, Dr. Stone: Science Future is almost done. The final episode of Senku Ishigami’s science-powered odyssey drops this Thursday, 25 June, on Crunchyroll — and Singapore fans can catch it at 10pm SGT. Two episodes remain as of this week, and the clock is ticking on one of the most unique shonen anime of the past decade.
Dr. STONE SCIENCE FUTURE Part 3 | Official Trailer | Crunchyroll — via Crunchyroll on YouTube
Seven Years of Science and Grit
The Dr. Stone manga launched in Weekly Shonen Jump in March 2017, written by Riichiro Inagaki (of Eyeshield 21 fame) and illustrated by Boichi. Over 27 volumes across five years — the series concluded its manga run in March 2022 — it built a reputation for something genuinely unusual: a shonen built on real science, where protagonist Senku Ishigami solves problems not with power-ups but with chemistry, physics, and engineering. The anime adaptation by TMS Entertainment debuted in 2019 and has since run across four seasons, spanning Stone Wars, the Ryusui arc, and now the final Science Future arc.
For seven years, the show has been a reliable fixture for anime fans who wanted something different — part survival story, part science textbook, and entirely Senku. The series closes with the same spirit: big ambitions, improbable solutions, and 10 billion percent confidence.
The Final Arc — Senku’s One-Way Ticket to the Moon
Science Future Part 3 (Cour 3) launched on 2 April 2026 and spans 13 episodes, bringing the overall series total to 37. The arc tackles the Moon Mission — Senku and the Kingdom of Science, now allied with former antagonist Dr. Xeno, are building a rocket to reach the Moon and confront the mysterious Why-Man, the entity responsible for the global stone petrification that kicked off the entire story.
Why-Man has loomed over Dr. Stone since the beginning, and its voice casting for the finale is itself a statement: the character is voiced by both Koichi Yamadera (best known internationally as Spike Spiegel in Cowboy Bebop) and Kotono Mitsuishi (Usagi Tsukino in Sailor Moon). Bringing in two icons of anime voice acting for the series’ central mystery is the kind of move that tells you the production was not coasting to the finish line.

How to Watch the Finale in Singapore
Singapore fans have easy access: Dr. Stone: Science Future streams on Crunchyroll in Southeast Asia, and the final episode arrives Thursday, 25 June at 10pm SGT. That’s the same evening as the Japanese broadcast (which airs at 10pm JST), with Crunchyroll making it available to Southeast Asian subscribers shortly after Japan. A standard Crunchyroll subscription covers it — no extras needed. Check out more anime news for what’s coming to the platform next.

STONE FES. 2026 — The Grand Farewell in Yokohama
For those who want a proper send-off, the series’ official finale event — STONE FES. 2026 — takes place on 10 October 2026 at Yokohama BUNTAI in two sessions (daytime and evening). The full voice cast is expected to attend, alongside live musical performances by BURNOUT SYNDROMES (who did the Season 1 opening) and KANA-BOON (who handled the Season 4 themes). It’s a Japan-only event, but there’s a route in for dedicated fans: the Blu-ray and DVD box set for Science Future Cour 3 releases on 15 July 2026, and the first limited edition includes a priority lottery application for STONE FES. event tickets. For the most committed Dr. Stone fans in Singapore, that’s worth noting.
Last words
Seven years is a long time for any anime to run, and Dr. Stone spent that time doing something genuinely different with the shonen formula. The finale is two days out. Whether you’ve been following since Season 1 in 2019 or you caught up during the Science Future run, this is one to watch live — Thursday, 25 June, 10pm SGT on Crunchyroll. Senku would not approve of you waiting until the weekend.
