A Florida man has been arrested after $12,000 of Pokémon cards were stolen from a local store, during a break-in that involved a battery-powered chainsaw.
Clayton Warren, 33, has been charged with burglary and theft of good totalling more than $10,000 following a somewhat bungled heist at Collection Realm, a trading card store in West Palm Beach.
According to KSL, surveillance footage shows a man fitting Warren's appearance at the store just two days before the break-in. A mysterious figure then gains entry to the store overnight on May 21 — initially trying to smash a window with a rock, before resorting to the small chainsaw.
Warren does not seem to have proven hard to find, as surveillance cameras also spotted the licence plate on his car. Blood was also left behind at the scene, following the chainsaw usage.
The incident is just the latest in a long, long run of break-ins and thefts targeting Pokémon's hugely lucrative and often hard-to-find trading cards. Back in January, staff and shoppers were held at gunpoint in a brazen raid at a card shop in Manhatten as $100,000 worth of stock was swiped. Nintendo then got in touch with the store — to say its name needed to change as it sounded too much like an official Pokémon shop.
In December, $100,000 worth of stock was also swiped from a store in Burbank — although that was also overnight. At the time, Californian cops said they suspected the raid was linked to "half a dozen" similar thefts within the southern half of the state in recent weeks. Numerous other examples have also occured nationwide over the past 12 months.
Last month, another desperate Pokémon fan was arrested in Pasadena, California, after hiding inside a closed Best Buy ahead of a Pokémon card drop.

CD Projekt has announced an official special anniversary stream for The Witcher 3’s much-loved expansion, Blood and Wine, sparking speculation the studio may tease more DLC for the game.
The stream, set for May 28 at 5pm CEST / 8am PT / 1pm ET / 4pm UK time, will see CD Projekt “return once more to the land of knights, vineyards, and vampires!” CD Projekt said in a tweet.
There’s no suggestion that the stream will contain any announcements, but that hasn’t stopped fans from getting excited about the prospect of confirmation of the long-rumored The Witcher 3 DLC. One recent report pointed to the possibility of a 'Dune-style' location for the new, so far unnanounced adventure. This would potentially arrive later this year, adding to The Witcher 3 despite the game being over a decade old at this point.
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Blood and Wine launched on May 30, 2016, and was praised by fans for successfully expanding on the world The Witcher 3 established, while bringing closure to its characters, including Geralt. IGN's Blood and Wine review returned a 9/10. We said: "Geralt gets a fitting sendoff in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Blood and Wine, courtesy of a strong cast and new items."
"Am I getting baited again?" one fan wondered in response to the stream news. "If the third DLC isn't announced I will freak out. Just letting you know now," another added. "I still have high hopes for that DLC guys don't you let us all down," pleaded another.
It’s a hugely busy time for CD Projekt. The Witcher 4 production continues, although CD Projekt has cautioned fans not to expect its launch until 2027 at the earliest. The company plans an ambitious six-year roadmap in which it will also launch The Witcher 5 and The Witcher 6.
While further DLC for The Witcher 3 may be in development, CD Projekt has ruled out more DLC for Cyberpunk, suggesting fans will indeed have to wait for Cyberpunk 2 to return to its much-loved dystopian universe. And the wait looks like it's going to be significant; Cyberpunk 2 is further behind The Witcher 4, and CD Projekt co-CEO Michał Nowakowski has suggested Cyberpunk 2 won’t be out until at least 2030.
However, there is more Cyberpunk coming soon outside the world of video games. CD Projekt has announced a panel dedicated to Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 at Anime Expo in Los Angeles, offering fans a closer look at the much-anticipated standalone series. The panel is set for July 3 at 7.30pm PT.

China has executed a man who murdered his billionaire boss after a disagreement over the management of Netflix's 3 Body Problem series.
Xu Yao was sentenced to death after poisoning Lin Qi, the founder of Chinese video game firm Yoozoo Games, using fake probiotic pills he'd filled with an extremely toxic form of mercury.
The two men had previously been colleagues, and worked together at Yoozoo during the launch of its Game of Thrones: Winter is Coming video game spinoff.
In addition to games, Yoozoo also manages the film and TV rights for the Chinese sci-fi series Remembrance of Earth's Past — better known to international audiences as 3 Body Problem. Indeed, Lin is posthumously credited as an executive producer on the first season of Netflix's big budget 3 Body Problem adaption, led by former Game of Thrones showrunners David Benioff and D. B. Weiss, released back in 2024.
Lin initially placed Xu in charge of managing the 3 Body Problem franchise rights, before a disagreement led to him being replaced in the role. It was after this that Xu began supplying Lin with toxic probiotic pills — which both Lin and his wife ingested.
While Lin's wife survived, Lin died in hospital in December 2020, with doctors aware he had been poisoned. Xu was eventually arrested and sentenced to death after a 2024 trial. Last week, that sentence was carried out.
"We deeply mourn Mr. Lin and extend our heartfelt condolences to his family," Yoozoo said in a statement, as reported by BBC News. "As colleagues who fought alongside him, all members of the company are grateful for the impartiality of the judicial process... Justice has ultimately been served."
Netflix's 3 Body Problem series is set to stream its second season later this year, with a third and final run also greenlit.

Sony is back with another PlayStation State of Play on June 2, 2026 at 2pm PT/5pm ET/10pm BST, so get ready for a whole host of new PS5 game announcements, fresh looks at gameplay, and maybe even some other surprises. With only Marvel’s Wolverine currently listed as being part of the hour-plus long presentation set to share “updates, announcements, and gameplay reveals from top studios around the world”, there’s a lot to theorise about.
For context, last year’s equivalent stream saw the reveals of Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls, Nioh 3, and Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles, as well as fresh gameplay looks at 007 First Light, Silent Hill f, Ghost of Yotei, and Pragmata. But what can we expect to see this year? Well, let’s get stuck in and look at exactly that.
PlayStation Studios and ExclusivesAs I said, we know Marvel’s Wolverine will be making an appearance, and indeed kicking off the show, ahead of its September 15 release. Detailed as “showing off Logan’s brutal and relentless combat,” it seems like we’ll be getting a good look at gameplay and how controlling Wolverine will differ from Insomniac’s Spider-Man — presumably with a whole lot more blood involved.
God of War is a series that’s no stranger to a State of Play appearance. Back in February, we saw not one, but two announcements made by Sony Santa Monica, including a full remake of the original Kratos trilogy, and the shadow drop of 2D side-scroller God of War: Sons of Sparta. Seeing as we only got a logo for the remakes a few months back, it might be fair to assume that those games are a fair while away, so getting a further glimpse may be a stretch.
But could we see something of Santa Monica’s other long-rumoured project? The developer is reportedly working on a spin-off focused on Kratos’ wife, Faye. Could this make a giant-sized impact on June 2? Then there’s supposedly a brand-new IP in the works at the studio being helmed by God of War 2018 director, Cory Barlog. Who knows, maybe we’ll even see that. They certainly seem busy over there.
Is it finally time for Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet to reemerge? It’s been almost 18 months since the reveal of Naughty Dog’s latest, with that one trailer still our only glimpse of it. Some gameplay would be lovely, and if we’re dreaming, some sort of release date window would be very much appreciated, too. Creator Neil Druckmann has called it the “most ambitious game” the Uncharted and Last of Us studio has ever made. It’s time to see what makes it that.
Housemarque did just recently give us Saros, but that doesn’t necessarily mean we won’t be seeing it here. After all, the studio’s previous game, Returnal, gave us a fair amount of post-launch additions, including co-op play and the endless Tower of Sisyphus mode. Could we see something similar come to Saros?
It feels a little too early to see what the third part of Guerrilla Games’ Horizon trilogy is, but does feel like we should get another look at its latest spin-off, Horizon Hunters Gathering. A three-player co-op machine hunting action game with a decidedly more cartoonish art style than we’re used to from Aloy’s world, it will be interesting to see what form this multiplayer entry will take. Free-to-play? Full price? There’s still plenty left to find out about it.
As for other PlayStation studios, we still don’t know what a lot of them are working on. It’s fair to assume Polyphony is developing another Gran Turismo, and with it being over four years since the last, could we see Gran Turismo 8 pop up on the 2nd? 2027 marks 30 years for the series, so it seems like a nice time for another dose of sim-racing action if you ask me. It’s also been a long time since we’ve heard from LittleBigPlanet and Dreams creators Media Molecule, Days Gone developers Bend, and whatever is happening with Haven’s Fairgames — could it be rebranding to Break In? We’ll take hearing from any of these studios as a win.
And then there are the PS5 exclusives that are being made outside of Sony’s first-party structure, such as Phantom Blade Zero. The S-Game developed action game looks more impressive each and every time we see new gameplay, and we certainly wouldn’t say no to another peek here. Set for a September 8 release, it certainly makes sense for it to show up.
Similarly, Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls is due to launch on August 6. Having undergone a couple of beta tests now, we’ve seen plenty of this fighting game in motion, with Savage Hulk and Shuri’s Black Panther the most recently confirmed characters on its roster. There’s always room for more heroes, though, so maybe we’ll get another addition at this State of Play. Another PS5 exclusive, 4:Loop, also staged a recent beta, suggesting that maybe it isn’t a million miles away from a release date either. The co-op shooter from JJ Abrams’ Bad Robot Studios, directed by Left4Dead’s Mike Booth, will be looking to turn around Sony’s multiplayer woes.
Third-Party and Multi-PlatformWe’ll get this one out of the way. No, don’t expect GTA 6 to show up here. But there are plenty of other multi-platform games that we’ve seen featured at previous PlayStation showcases that we’d love to see more of on June 2.
Revealed in February, Saber Interactive’s John Wick game was certainly a surprise. Some gameplay of this Keanu Reeves-starring prequel to the movies would be a treat. At the same State of Play, Konami’s first mainline Castlevania game in 17 years was announced, with Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse returning to its 2D action roots. With a long PlayStation lineage tied to the series, we’d wouldn’t be shocked to see it again. Two other games set to come out later in 2026, Control Resonant and Star Wars: Galactic Racer, were also at that State of Play and could make a reappearance.
Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis is a remake of the original Lara Croft adventure, and, seeing as how important that game was for the original PlayStation, a State of Play would be a logical place for more of it to be shown off. Someone entirely not used to calling PlayStation home, though, is Master Chief. Halo: Campaign Evolved is a remake of the first Halo single-player story and is coming to PS5. However, it would make a lot more sense to see this at Xbox’s Showcase, which will be held a few days later on June 7.
As if two Marvel games weren’t enough, there’s also a chance we’ll see Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra, which has been indefinitely delayed “beyond early 2026.” If this really is Captain America and Black Panther in an Uncharted-like action-adventure from Amy Hennig, then a look at gameplay would be much welcomed. And then there’s Project Windless, a new action-adventure game starring a sword-wielding seven-foot chicken from PUBG publishers, Krafton. Now isn’t the time for me to fully go into details of the nightmares I used to have as a child about being chased by a giant chicken man, but I won’t lie to you, I’m both excited for and terrified of this game in equal measure.
HardwareWe’re not expecting any new PlayStation consoles until late 2027 at the very earliest, but with Xbox already teasing Project Helix, will that force Sony into giving us a sneak peek of what the PS6 may have in store for us? Well, it’s unlikely due to the soaring costs of RAM globally and the general economic conditions being needlessly sent into disarray by American tariff policies and AI’s impact on society, but I guess you really do never know.
Rumours have circulated of a new PlayStation handheld, after suggestions were made in 2025 that Sony could even be following Nintendo’s blueprint for the Switch, and turning the PlayStation 6 into a hybrid home and portable console. Of course, this is all just wild speculation, but with powerful hardware only reducing in size and cloud capabilities ever-growing, it doesn’t feel like too much of a stretch to imagine. Whether we see something that physically resembles this speculation at June’s State of Play is, again, unlikely, and something maybe for late this year/early next.
So, that’s everything to expect from June 2nd’s PlayStation stream. There will, we hope, be plenty of surprises, though. What game are you most excited to see more of? Let us know in the comments below.

Sony has announced plans to put Destiny 2 into PlayStation Plus Extra and Premier tiers on the day it receives its final update.
In a PlayStation Blog post, Sony confirmed that Destiny 2: Legacy Collection (2025), including The Final Shape expansion, will be available for Extra and Premium/Deluxe members from June 9. That’s the same day Bungie will release Destiny 2’s final live-service content update.
Last week, Bungie shocked the video game world by announcing that support for Destiny 2 was coming to an end next month, effectively closing the door on the Destiny era that began with such fanfare back in 2014. There has been much hand wringing since, with some expressing concern for the future of Bungie itself amid impending layoffs and the failure of Marathon — the studio's recently released ultra hardcore extraction shooter — to break out.
There is no evidence to suggest Destiny 3 is in development, much to the disappointment of fans. Bungie is reportedly working on a number of new game pitches, including in the Destiny universe, but there’s no guarantee Sony will approve any of them.
“For almost 12 years, we have had the joy and honor to explore the Destiny universe with you all,” Bungie said in its announcement. “Through all the ups and downs, surprises and triumphs, building Destiny alongside our players has been a monumental privilege. While our love for Destiny 2 has not changed, it has become clear that after The Final Shape, we have reached the time for our shared worlds, and Destiny, to live beyond Destiny 2.”
Over the weekend, a petition calling on Sony to approve of development of Destiny 3 saw over 120,000 signatures. It now has over 220,000. The petition’s creator, Harley Casto, said “the desire for new adventures, fresh storylines, and innovative gameplay features is palpable among players everywhere.”
“We believe in the potential of Destiny 3 to inspire new generations of gamers and to keep the fire of the Guardian spirit alive,” Casto continued. “Join us in petitioning Sony to take this leap forward. Sign the petition to show your support for Destiny 3 and help us bring our love for this series to the next level. Together, let's make Destiny 3 a reality.”
However, it seems unlikely that the game will be made. According to Bloomberg, Bungie will suffer "significant" layoffs in the near future as a result of the end of Destiny 2 support, and Destiny 3 is not actively in the works. For many Destiny fans, Destiny 3 always sounded like an obvious next project for Bungie after the story-ending The Final Shape expansion was released in June 2024. So why didn’t Bungie have a team work on Destiny 3 two years ago? The answer, Bloomberg reporter Jason Schreier said in a post on social media, had to do with “how much money it would take.”
As for Destiny 2 itself, while active development is concluding, Bungie has promised to ensure that Destiny 2 remains playable, just as the original Destiny is today. Many changes in the final update “will aim to ensure that Destiny 2 is a welcoming place for players to return to,” Bungie said.
