Hiro Mashima the popular mangaka behind the shonen manga Fairy Tail has announced via his Twitter page that he will be launching a brand new manga series in a different magazine to Fairy Tail. The new series will run simultaneously alongside Fairy Tail.

Mashima claims that he will continue to serialize both Fairy Tail and his new manga weekly, as long as his ‘stamina holds up’. No exact details on the new manga have been revealed by Mashima, nor has the magazine that the manga will be serialized in. However if you consider the fact that all of his previous work has been released by Kodansha, one can assume it will be serialized in a Kodansha owned magazine.

It is also interesting to note that Mashima commented that he seen an anime this past Sunday which had a similar plot to his planned manga and that he had decided to scrap the concept and start from scratch.

Stay tuned for further information on Hiro Mashima’s new manga title as it comes to light. Be sure to sound off in the comments section below with your thoughts.

Poor Cathy. Being the girlfriend of Jack Ryan obviously isn’t easy. In this new clip from Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit, we see exactly why, as Ms. Muller (Keira Knightley) is kidnapped. You can watch the scene embedded at the bottom of this article.

Paramount Pictures also released a new featurette called ‘Secrets & Lies’, which you will find directly below.

Haarlem, The Netherlands – January 20, 2014 – Video game publisher Iceberg Interactive and developer Little Green Men Games unveiled today they’re implementing virtual reality headset Oculus Rift into their highly anticipated, upcoming space sim-RPG Starpoint Gemini 2. Currently in Alpha on Steam’s Early Access program, Starpoint Gemini 2 will offer gamers the opportunity to launch fighter wings on unsuspecting enemies during space combat while utilizing Oculus Rift’s 3D, next-generation capabilities to provide unadulterated immersion.

If you live in Europe, there is some very sad news to share with you today. Rune Factory 4 – which was scheduled to release in the near future through Marvelous AQL and Zen United has been cancelled for the region entirely. This news comes after XSEED Games published the critically acclaimed title in the west, making it an even bigger mystery as to why it was scrapped altogether.

Marvelous AQL had this to say in an official statement:

We regret to inform you that the European release of Rune Factory 4 for Nintendo 3DS has been cancelled.
While Marvelous AQL has made every effort to secure the title’s release for this territory, it is, unfortunately, not possible to do so at this time. MAQL and MAQL Europe would like to thank everyone for their support and enthusiasm for their European releases. Please look forward to announcements on new MAQL titles over the coming months.

Yeah, it is quite a bummer as Europe lost a true gem (read our review here). Hopefully this is the last time we see this kind of cancellation, and we can also only hope that Rune Factory has a future ahead of it for the long haul in Europe and all over the world.

Today the official website for Corpse Party: Blood Drive has launched and you can check it out here. In addition to the launch of the website, it has been revealed that there will be two opening themes for the game and they will be sung by Asami Imai and Yumi Hara.

Outside of that, the website doesn’t offer a whole lot of additional information for the game at the moment as everything but the news and the about pages are unavailable at this time, but this means that there will probably be more updates in the future for the first PS Vita title in this series’ gruesome history.
