Digimon Story: Time Stranger Arrives on Switch and Switch 2 on 10 July

July 2, 2026 Jax

After racking up over one million copies sold on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC since its October 2025 launch, Bandai Namco’s monster-taming JRPG Digimon Story: Time Stranger is arriving on Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2 on 10 July 2026 — just eight days away. If you missed it on consoles last year, this is your chance to jump in on portable hardware.

What Is Digimon Story: Time Stranger?

Developed by Media.Vision and ported to Nintendo platforms by h.a.n.d., Digimon Story: Time Stranger is a turn-based RPG built around the bond between humans and their digital partners. You play a protagonist mysteriously sent eight years into the past, tasked with preventing the collapse of both worlds. The adventure spans the human world and Digital World: Iliad, where you collect, raise, and evolve more than 450 Digimon across strategic battles and a sprawling interconnected story.

The game earned strong reviews at launch for its depth of creature collection and a genuinely gripping narrative — qualities that translate well to handheld play. Owners of the original Switch 1 disc or digital copy will receive the Switch 2 version upgrade free via an automatic update.

Switch 2 Gets 4K Quality Mode and 60fps Performance Mode

The Nintendo Switch 2 version ships with two technical modes not available on original Switch hardware:

Quality Mode: 4K HDR at up to 30fps when docked; Full HD at up to 30fps in handheld. HDR is exclusive to this mode.
Performance Mode: Full HD at up to 60fps in both docked and handheld configurations.

Original Switch players get a solid experience at 1080p, but the Switch 2 improvements are meaningful — especially in docked 4K mode for the detailed Digimon designs.

Digital Deluxe Edition: adds the Cyber Sleuth Costume Set and the Season Pass.
Digital Ultimate Edition: everything above plus an additional Costume Pack, exclusive early Digimon unlocks, Public Safety Suit Costumes, a Special Supplies Set, and the Cyber Sleuth BGM Pack.

Crunchyroll Summer 2026 Wave 2: One Piece Heroines, Iron Wok Jan & More Coming to SEA This July

July 1, 2026 Xian Skyrider

Leave a comment

Seven new titles just landed in Crunchyroll’s confirmed Summer 2026 lineup for Southeast Asia — and this second wave is headlined by a brand-new One Piece spinoff, the long-awaited anime adaptation of cult cooking manga Iron Wok Jan!, and the return of Grand Blue Dreaming for a third season. Here’s everything arriving on the platform across the first two weeks of July, including what Singapore fans can stream with Bahasa Melayu and Chinese subtitle support.

One Piece Heroines Arrives 5 July — Nami Gets Her Own Story

The most eye-catching addition to the Crunchyroll Summer 2026 anime calendar for SEA is ONE PIECE HEROINES, a spinoff from Toei Animation that puts the spotlight on the women of the Straw Hat crew. The first story centres on Nami: after buying a pair of shoes that hurt her feet, she tracks down designer Lebno — who offers to craft her a bespoke pair, but only if she will model for him. Artisan Miucha completes the trio in what sounds like a character-driven style adventure sitting apart from the main Elbaph arc. It premieres on 5 July with a Thai dub, plus subtitles in Bahasa Indonesia, Thai, and Vietnamese.

Iron Wok Jan! Is Finally an Anime — Crunchyroll-Exclusive for SEA

If one announcement from this wave deserves its own headline, it is Iron Wok Jan! The original manga ran from 1995 to 2000 and has sold over 10 million copies — a ferocious Chinese-cuisine battle story following Jan Akiyama, a devilish chef who treats every cook-off like armed combat. It is the kind of series that defined a generation of cooking-manga fans, and an anime adaptation has been a long time coming. TROYCA, the studio behind Re:CREATORS and Aldnoah.Zero, is handling it, and even the teaser PV radiates the unhinged energy of the source material.

This one is a Crunchyroll exclusive for SEA, premiering on 5 July with subtitles in Bahasa Indonesia, Bahasa Melayu, Thai, Vietnamese, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese — solid coverage for Singapore viewers, including the bilingual and Mandarin-reading crowd that the original manga spoke directly to.

Let’s Go KAIKIGUMI and 100 Girlfriends Also Hit on 5 July

Two more titles round out the Sunday 5 July drop. Let’s go KAIKIGUMI (C-Station) is a Crunchyroll exclusive supernatural comedy about a man described as being six times more afraid of ghosts than the average person, who gets roped in by the fearless Mechako to help revive her ghost-policing organisation. Subs cover Bahasa Indonesia, Bahasa Melayu, Thai, Vietnamese, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese.

Also returning that same day: The 100 Girlfriends Who Really, Really, Really, Really, REALLY Love You Season 3 (Bibury Animation Studios). Rentaro’s school life continues — and so does the show’s commitment to somehow adding more characters to an already packed ensemble. This one streams with a Thai dub alongside the full multilingual sub lineup.

Grand Blue Dreaming Season 3 Goes to Palau — Starting 6 July

Monday 6 July brings Grand Blue Dreaming Season 3 (Zero-G and Liber), and Iori’s diving-club chaos now has an international venue: Palau. Just as he is getting his head around university life, his cousin drags him off to help run a dive shop on the island. If you have seen seasons one and two, you already know what “help run a dive shop” means in this show. Streams with a Thai dub and subs in Bahasa Indonesia, Thai, Vietnamese, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese.

Joining it on 6 July is A Livid Lady’s Guide to Getting Even: How I Crushed My Homeland with My Mighty Grimoires (Comet), a Crunchyroll exclusive revenge fantasy in which noblewoman Elizabeth escapes prison — after being publicly betrayed by a crown prince — armed with seven legendary grimoires and a burning grudge to settle. Subs: Bahasa Indonesia, Bahasa Melayu, Thai, Vietnamese, SC, TC.

The Frontier Lord Begins with Zero Subjects on 10 July

Closing out the wave on 10 July is The Frontier Lord Begins with Zero Subjects (animation studio42). Veteran soldier Dias returns from war expecting a reward, gets gifted a domain that turns out to be empty plains with a population of literally zero, and has to figure out how to build a thriving territory from nothing — with the help of a horned girl named Alna who knows the land better than she lets on. A kingdom-building fantasy with an unusually grounded hook, streaming with Thai dub and subs in Bahasa Indonesia, Thai, Vietnamese, SC, and TC.

One Piece Season 3 Wraps Filming: The Battle of Alabasta Coming 2027

July 1, 2026 Nova Solaris

Leave a comment

Netflix’s One Piece live-action series has officially wrapped production on its third season. Filming for ONE PIECE: The Battle of Alabasta concluded on 30 June 2026 after roughly seven months and more than 200 days on set in Cape Town, South Africa. A 2027 premiere on Netflix — available in Singapore and across Southeast Asia — has been confirmed.

The Alabasta Arc — Why This One Matters

For many longtime fans, the Alabasta arc is the point where One Piece stopped being a pirate adventure and became something larger. After agreeing to help Princess Vivi at the close of Season 2, Luffy and the Straw Hats sail to her desert kingdom to find it teetering on the edge of civil war — a conflict engineered in secret by Sir Crocodile (Joe Manganiello), one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, and his criminal syndicate Baroque Works. It’s the arc that first put the crew through a genuinely impossible fight, introduced the series’ most heartfelt send-off moment, and set the template for every major arc that followed.

The Full Cast — Returning Crew and New Arrivals

The core Straw Hat crew returns intact: Iñaki Godoy as Monkey D. Luffy, Mackenyu as Zoro, Emily Rudd as Nami, Jacob Romero Gibson as Usopp and Taz Skylar as Sanji. Returning antagonists and supporting cast include Joe Manganiello as Sir Crocodile (Mr. 0), Lera Abova as Miss All Sunday, Charithra Chandran as Vivi, and Sendhil Ramamurthy as King Nefertari Cobra.

Four new characters fill out Season 3. Cole Escola joins as Bon Clay (Mr. 2), the Baroque Works agent who shape-shifts into anyone he touches and ends up being one of the arc’s most memorable presences despite fighting the crew. Xolo Maridueña takes on Portgas D. Ace, Luffy’s brother — a casting announcement that drew an outsized reaction from the fandom. Awdo Awdo plays Mr. 1 and Daisy Head plays Miss Doublefinger, the Baroque Works fighters who headline the arc’s climactic battles.

Seven Months in Cape Town

Season 3 began shooting in late November 2025 and ran for more than 200 days across Cape Town’s soundstages and location sets. The series is written and co-showrun by Joe Tracz and Ian Stokes, produced by Tomorrow Studios in partnership with Netflix and Shueisha. Netflix confirmed the wrap on 30 June 2026 alongside the first cast photo from the Alabasta set, showing the core crew in the desert environment that defines the arc.

When Singapore Fans Can Expect It

Netflix has confirmed a 2027 release window for ONE PIECE: The Battle of Alabasta, though no specific date has been set yet. Netflix is fully available in Singapore and across Southeast Asia — Season 2, Into the Grand Line, is already streaming if you need to catch up on where the Straw Hats left off.

Ghost in the Shell Returns on Prime Video This July 7

July 1, 2026 Jax

Leave a comment

For the first time since the franchise became an anime in 1995, a studio other than Production I.G. is animating Ghost in the Shell. That studio is Science Saru — the house behind Dandadan, Scott Pilgrim Takes Off, and Tatami Time Machine Blues — and THE GHOST IN THE SHELL premieres on Amazon Prime Video in over 240 countries this Tuesday, 7 July 2026, Singapore included.

Science Saru Takes Over — and Why That Is a Big Deal

Production I.G. has been synonymous with Ghost in the Shell animation since Mamoru Oshii’s landmark 1995 film. The studio went on to direct Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence, both seasons of Stand Alone Complex, and the theatrical Arise series. Production I.G. remains in the production committee for this 2026 series — alongside Bandai Namco Filmworks and Kodansha — but the animation itself now belongs to Science Saru.

Science Saru was co-founded by Masaaki Yuasa and has built its reputation on visually expressive, high-fluidity work that stands apart from conventional TV-anime house styles. Directing the new series is Mokochan, making his feature directorial debut after working as assistant director on Dandadan. Character design and chief animation direction is handled by Shuhei Handa, whose credits include Dandadan, Scott Pilgrim Takes Off, and Spriggan. Series composition comes from sci-fi novelist EnJoe Toh, known for the metafictional Self-Reference ENGINE — a choice that hints at a grittier, more literary approach.

A Straight Line Back to Masamune Shirow’s Manga

Rather than continuing any existing anime continuity, the 2026 series returns to Masamune Shirow’s original Ghost in the Shell manga, first serialised in Young Magazine from 1989 to 1991. The story follows Major Motoko Kusanagi leading Public Security Section 9 through cybercrimes and a conspiracy surrounding a spectral hacker known as the Puppet Master — the same premise as Oshii’s 1995 film, but adapted from the source material rather than from the film’s more abstract interpretation.

The creative team describe the aim as being closer to the manga’s own tonal blend of hard sci-fi, dry humour, and political thriller, rather than the heavy philosophical weight of Oshii’s take. Given EnJoe Toh’s background in literary science fiction, that ambition seems credible.

English Dub Cast and Global Availability

Amazon Prime Video is rolling out the series with a full English dub across its global release. Suzie Yeung (Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End, Overtake!) voices Major Kusanagi; Bill Butts plays Batou; SungWon Cho voices Chief Aramaki; and Nick Apostolides takes on Togusa. The English dub cast was confirmed by Anime News Network. In total the series launches in eight dubbed languages alongside the Japanese original.

When and Where to Watch in Singapore

THE GHOST IN THE SHELL is available on Amazon Prime Video in Singapore from 7 July 2026. An active Prime or Prime Video subscription is all you need. New episodes drop weekly — in Japan they broadcast on Fuji TV and Kansai TV every Tuesday at 23:00 JST (midnight SGT on Wednesday), with the Prime Video stream expected around the same time. The July 7 premiere date was confirmed via Anime News Network in June.

If you want to revisit the original mythology ahead of Tuesday, Oshii’s 1995 film and Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex are available across multiple platforms. Find more anime season previews and news on GameTrader as the summer 2026 lineup gets into gear.

The Ending Theme: MILLENNIUM PARADE, Saya Gray and Daniel Caesar

The ending theme, titled “Blue”, is performed by MILLENNIUM PARADE featuring Saya Gray and Daniel Caesar. MILLENNIUM PARADE is the avant-pop project led by Daiki Tsuneta, the frontman of King Gnu — whose music has previously appeared across anime soundtracks. Saya Gray is a Japanese-American indie singer-songwriter; Daniel Caesar is a Grammy-winning Canadian R&B artist. The pairing feels deliberately trans-Pacific, which suits a franchise that has always occupied the intersection of Japanese cyberpunk and Western science-fiction imagination.

Pokémon TCG Pocket: Everyday Wonders Drops Now With 100+ New Cards

July 1, 2026 kindaixin

Leave a comment

Pokémon TCG Pocket’s newest themed booster pack, Everyday Wonders, is live right now on iOS and Android — and it brings one of the most charming card sets the game has ever released. With over 100 new cards built around a picnic-and-sunshine theme, it is a deliberate contrast to the Legendary-heavy sets that dominated the past year.

What Is the Everyday Wonders Expansion?

Everyday Wonders (set code B3b) is the third themed booster pack for Pokémon TCG Pocket, the free-to-play digital card game available on iOS and Android worldwide. The set centres on a cosy, slice-of-life picnic theme: Pikachu posing on a tree stump in a flower-filled garden, Snorlax dozing in a sunlit meadow, Piplup gliding across a frozen lake. The five headline Pokémon are Pikachu, Piplup, Sylveon, Snorlax and Greedent.

According to the official Pokémon announcement, the expansion adds over 100 cards to the game, including a Mega Diancie ex making its debut in Pokémon TCG Pocket — the high-rarity chase pull collectors will be hunting from day one. Everyday Wonders packs join the standard two-per-day free rotation alongside existing sets immediately.

Key Cards Worth Pulling

The top targets are the full-art versions of the set’s five featured Pokémon. The Pikachu full art, illustrated by Yoshimi Miyoshi, places the series mascot on a wooden stage in a garden bursting with colour — the kind of card that sits in a sleeve and never gets played. Piplup‘s full art by HYOGONOSUKE captures the Water-type mid-Bubble Beam across a glittering ice rink, while Sylveon‘s full art by booota sets the Fairy-type in a dreamy kawaii bedroom lined with plush toys.

The competitive standout is Snorlax with the Massive Body Ability: while in the Active Spot, opponents cannot play Stadium cards from their hand. That is a genuine disruption tool in the current pocket meta where Stadiums swing damage calculations. Combined with 130 HP and a 70-damage Mega Punch, this Snorlax is a legitimate wall — illustrated here by veteran Pokémon card artist Atsuko Nishida.

July Events: Mark Your Calendar

The launch is just the opening move. The Pokémon Company has a full events schedule lined up through July for Everyday Wonders players:

Everyday Wonders Emblem Event (early-to-mid July): Battle opponents to earn emblems and complete missions for shinedust and other rewards.
Community Week (mid-July): A trading-focused window with special missions — designed for coordinated swaps between friends and local groups chasing set completion.
Hisuian Zorua Drop Event & Growlithe/Emolga Wonder Pick (mid-to-late July): Special promo packs and bonus Wonder Picks for fans who stayed engaged through the month.

Singapore Pocket Players: Open Your App Now

Pokémon TCG Pocket has no regional restrictions — if you are in Singapore, the Everyday Wonders packs are already waiting in your pack queue right now. The two free daily packs apply to the new set straight away, so you can start pulling without spending a single Pokégold.

The Community Week trading event in July is particularly worth noting for local players. Singapore’s TCG Pocket scene has expanded quickly, and the Community Week format is built exactly for the kind of coordinated trading that active local groups can exploit to complete sets efficiently.

Physical Pokémon fans should also know that the Pokémon Center Singapore recently reopened at Jewel Changi Airport — if Everyday Wonders’ cosy art style catches your eye, themed merchandise and physical TCG products are likely to follow at local game retailers in the weeks ahead.

GTA VI Singapore Pre-Orders: Price, Editions and Bonus

June 30, 2026 kindaixin

Leave a comment

Grand Theft Auto VI pre-orders are live in Singapore right now — and the confirmed SGD pricing lands in comfortable territory for most console gamers who’ve been counting down since Trailer 1. Whether you’re on PS5 or Xbox Series X|S, here’s everything you need before November 19.

GTA VI Singapore Prices: Standard vs. Ultimate Edition

Rockstar confirmed two editions for Singapore, available now on the PlayStation Store Singapore and Microsoft Store:

Standard Edition — SGD 109: Base game, Vintage Vice City Pack, and one month of GTA+ (PS5 pre-order)
Ultimate Edition — SGD 136: Everything in Standard plus the Ultimate Edition Upgrade — premium vehicles including the Grotti Cheetah and Squalo speedboat, exclusive shops, additional personalised weapon and vehicle skins, and extra apparel for both protagonists

The SGD 27 gap is narrower than many expected for a game at this price point. If you plan to spend significant time in GTA Online, the Ultimate Upgrade’s exclusive vehicles and shops have real long-term value. If you’re here primarily for the single-player campaign, Standard has you covered — and the Vintage Vice City Pack alone makes it feel like a generous launch bundle.

What’s in the Vintage Vice City Pack

Pre-order or buy GTA VI before November 20, 2026 and you unlock the Vintage Vice City Pack — a retro-themed collection that tips its hat to the original Vice City era:

’55 Vapid Stanier — a wide, chrome-lined American classic that looks right at home cruising Ocean Beach at night
Shore Court Garage — personal vehicle storage near Ocean Beach, so you’ve got somewhere to park the Stanier
Exclusive outfits for Jason and Lucia — Jason in a vintage pastel linen suit; Lucia in a red sequin mini dress inspired by Vice City’s neon nightlife
Tropical palm tree weapon customisation — a Vice City-flavoured skin for your firearms, visible in-game on pistols and SMGs

Rockstar has not indicated the Pack will be sold separately after launch, so the November 20 deadline is the line to watch.

Release Date, Platforms and the PC Question

GTA VI launches November 19, 2026 globally on PS5, PS5 Pro and Xbox Series X|S. The game carries an M18 rating — extreme violence, nudity, strong language and discriminatory content — in keeping with the franchise’s track record.

There is no confirmed PC release date. Rockstar has said nothing publicly about a Windows version timeline. Based on the GTA V cycle — where the PC edition arrived nearly two years after consoles — Singapore PC gamers should plan for a long wait or pick up a console copy at launch.

Grand Theft Auto VI Trailer 2 — via Rockstar Games on YouTube

Should You Pre-Order Now?

The Vintage Vice City Pack is the clearest reason to lock in before November 20 rather than waiting. If the ’55 Stanier and retro outfits appeal, the window is open right now and the SGD 109 Standard price is competitive by any regional measure.

PS5 pre-orders also include a free one-month GTA+ membership (auto-renews; claim through the GTA+ product page before March 31, 2027, and cancel before the billing date if you’d rather not continue). It’s a small extra for PS5 buyers that Xbox players won’t receive.

Pokémon Center Singapore Reopens at Jewel on 1 July 2026

June 29, 2026 Xian Skyrider

Leave a comment

Mark your calendars, Trainers — the Pokémon Center Singapore reopening lands on 1 July 2026, and the revamped store at Jewel Changi Airport is unlike anything the franchise has done outside Japan. After closing in April for its biggest makeover since 2019, the world’s first permanent Pokémon Center outside Japan returns with a new Legendary mascot, a fully Singapore-inspired interior, and 20 exclusive items you won’t find anywhere else.

The Pokémon Center Singapore reopening: what’s new

This isn’t a quick touch-up. Pokémon Center SINGAPORE is the first Pokémon Center store outside Japan to receive a full-scale redesign, and the team has leaned hard into local identity. The shopfront has been reimagined to evoke the Singapore skyline, with shelving and display nooks modelled on the city’s beloved shophouses, complete with Peranakan tile-inspired backdrops and arches.

The store keeps its prime spot on level four of Jewel Changi Airport — address 78 Airport Boulevard, #04-201/202/203, Singapore 819666 — and trades daily from 10:00am to 10:00pm. If you’ve shopped here before, expect the same airport-connected convenience, just with a glow-up that finally makes the place feel unmistakably local.
