SORT BY

Story orderRelease order

Halo is one of the most iconic series in gaming, and knowing the Halo games in order helps you understand how its vast universe and storytelling have evolved over the years. In this guide, you can explore the franchise in two ways: by story lore order, which follows the chronological timeline of events across the Halo universe, or by release order, which highlights how the series developed from its early days to modern entries. Use the buttons on this page to switch between these views and trace the legendary journey of Halo.

Halo Wars

  • Release date:

    February 26, 2009

Halo: Combat Evolved

Halo 3

  • Release date:

    September 25, 2007

Platforms:

What it’s about: Halo 3 is a shooter game where players primarily experience gameplay from a first-person perspective. Much of the gameplay takes place on foot, but also includes segments focused on vehicular combat. The balance of weapons and objects in the game was adjusted to better adhere to the “Golden Triangle of Halo”: these are weapons, grenades, and melee attacks, which are available to a player in most situations. Players may dual-wield some weapons, forgoing the use of grenades and melee attacks in favor of the combined firepower of two weapons. Many weapons available in previous installments of the series return with minor cosmetic and power alterations. Unlike previous installments, the player’s secondary weapon is visible on their player model, holstered or slung across the player’s back. Halo 3 introduces “support weapons”, which are cumbersome two-handed weapons that slow the player, but offer greatly increased firepower in return. In addition to weapons, the game contains a new class of gear called equipment; these items have various effects, ranging from defensive screens to shield regeneration and flares. Only one piece of equipment can be carried at a time. The game’s vehicular component has been expanded with new drivable and AI-only vehicles.

Halo 4

  • Release date:

    November 6, 2012

Platforms:

What it’s about: Halo 4 marks the start of an epic new saga within the award-winning Halo universe. The Master Chief returns in this award-winning first-person shooter developed by 343 Industries. Shipwrecked on a mysterious world, faced with new enemies and deadly technology, the Chief returns to battle against an ancient evil bent on vengeance and annihilation…the universe will never be the same.

    October 27, 2015

Platforms:

What it’s about: Halo 5: Guardians delivers epic multiplayer experiences that span multiple modes, full-featured level building tools, and another chapter in the Master Chief saga.

Halo Wars 2

  • Release date:

    February 21, 2017

Arthur Jones, who won a Super Bowl with the Ravens, dies at 39

by admin October 4, 2025


OWINGS MILLS, Md. — Arthur Jones, a defensive lineman who spent his first four NFL seasons in Baltimore and won a Super Bowl with the Ravens, has died. He was 39.

Syracuse, Jones’ alma mater, said he died Friday morning. The school and the Ravens didn’t give a cause of death in their announcements.

“Arthur’s presence was a gift to everyone he encountered,” Ravens general manager Eric DeCosta said. “His big, bright smile, infectious energy and eternal positivity created a presence that continuously uplifted others.”

Jones was a fifth-round draft pick in 2010 and had 8½ of his 10 career sacks in a two-season stretch in 2012-13. The Ravens beat San Francisco in Super Bowl XLVII to cap the 2012 season.

Jones sacked 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick just before a power outage at the Superdome in New Orleans. He also had a fumble recovery in that Super Bowl.

“My heart is heavy today after the loss of Art Jones,” Ravens coach John Harbaugh said. “Art was a truly remarkable person, a dedicated teammate, a relentless worker, and someone any coach would be proud to lead. His love for life, generous spirit, and radiant smile left a lasting impression on everyone fortunate enough to know him.

“He had a genuine gift for connecting with people, bringing joy to the locker room and beyond, and his presence was a source of light within our team and the Baltimore community.”

Jones also spent two years with Indianapolis and a final season in Washington in 2017.

Jones played for Syracuse and was the older brother of former UFC heavyweight champion Jon Jones and former Syracuse and NFL defensive end Chandler Jones, a four-time Pro Bowler who won a Super Bowl in New England.

Jones had 38½ tackles for loss at Syracuse, a school record for an interior defensive lineman. He was a first-team All-Big East selection each of his final two seasons.

“Arthur Jones was a tremendous player and even better person,” Syracuse athletic director John Wildhack said. “We were fortunate that Arthur continued to support our football program after his playing career. He impacted many of our student-athletes, always with a smile and uplifting message.”

ESPN’s Jamison Hensley contributed to this report.

TIFF 2025 - 12 films, worst to best pt. 2

TIFF 2025 – 12 films, worst to best pt. 2

by admin October 4, 2025


Part 1

6. Oca

I may be more enamoured with Oca’s structure than with the film itself. The Mexican film, written and directed by Karla Badillo, is a minor odyssey featuring an ever-increasing cast of spiritually lost characters, each searching for an archbishop in the nearby but seemingly unreachable town of San Vicente. The idea of a disparate ensemble linked only by their shared, single-minded goal is so appealing to me that I find myself able to ignore the film’s obvious shortcomings. The dazzling shots of untouched Mexican vistas don’t hurt, either. 

We begin with our main character, Rafaela (Natalia Solián), a nun who’s sent to fetch the archbishop and have him revitalize their all but non-existent congregation. Slowly but surely, we’re introduced to the rest of our archbishop seekers: a handful of bickering residents from a small town who wish to present the archbishop with a statue of their saint; a mysterious, wealthy woman who wants to know if she’s a good person; and a soldier on a contentious political mission. These storylines inevitably intersect, causing quaint chaos as motivations and divine understandings clash.

Rafaela’s story, unfortunately, is the only one that gets enough context to resonate. The other journeys are interesting in what is present, but so much necessary information is inexplicably absent. We get no backstory whatsoever for the wealthy woman and no explicit understanding of the soldier’s commands, rendering both of them only approachable at an arm’s length. 

Rafaela is fascinating, though – when we first see her, she’s just received a dream that the head nun treats as a prophetic vision. Along the way to San Vicente, we see Rafaela treat her fellow pilgrimage-goers with a kind but cold distance, and she receives vague hostility in return. She is caring in moments, entirely ambivalent in others. When she reaches the archbishop at long last, Rafaela receives some unwanted wisdom: anyone who claims to be a prophet is arrogant, mad, or very special. Odds are against the latter.

Oca’s complicated relationship with religion comes into focus with a scathing proposition – attempting to interpret the will of God will say nothing of God and everything of the interpreter. God’s plans are not to be understood by us mortals; we’re only along for the ride, so to try to find meaning or pattern or expectation in His decisions is only a reflection of our own selfish desires. To provide my obnoxious atheistic take, Oca rejects scripture provided by mankind, invoking a more unknowable perspective of theology. The film provides such a strong thesis and structure, it’s a shame that Oca is slightly less than the sum of its parts. 

5. Babystar

Good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight! Babystar is a cautionary tale, a not-quite-horror coming-of-age Truman Show-referencing satire aiming down sights at parents who feel the need to broadcast their – and their children’s – every waking moment. Set largely in a boxy, modernist German home, Babystar provides its own all-access look into the life of 16-year-old Luca (Maja Bons), the only child of vlogger parents (vloggers first, parents second) Jurek (Liliom Liwald) and Stella (Bea Brocks). When Luca finds out that she may have a new sibling on the way, she’s sent down a spiral of hate, confusion, and self-discovery.

I say Babystar is not quite horror since the film’s tone doesn’t fully come into focus until its final moments. The film is replete with instances where, with a lesser director, Luca would have most certainly committed gruesome acts of violence against her negligent parents. Director/writer Joscha Bongard, however, keeps things teetering on the edge of carnage but consistently rushes back to reality, making for more grounded insights into Luca’s mindset. The result is a more effective satire, one that heightens the obvious real-life observations the film is trying to make but keeps them relatable and occasionally heartbreaking. 

Luca’s journey feels somewhat episodic, with her being initially (non-forcibly) confined to her house and comforted only by a creepy AI version of herself. She makes a tentative friend when a producer comes to visit with some young fans, setting up Luca’s eventual search for meaning. Subsequent chapters feature different, often tragically hilarious ways in which Luca tries to find her connection to humanity after being relegated to parasocial relationships for so long, all to no avail. 

Despite Luca being social media famous for her approachability, she finds herself helpless when it comes time to interact with real, flesh-and-blood human beings. The film’s biting sense of humour keeps things from feeling dour, and its deliberate, colourful cinematography gives Babystar a glib sense of superficiality. Some steps on Luca’s road to relatability are more effective than others, but the ending finds a way to tie it all together in a bittersweet bow. 

4. Kokuho

Set in the elegant world of Kabuki theatre, Kokuko is an epic built around the volatile friendship between two performers, each striving to be the greatest of all time. I went in knowing next to nothing about Kabuki; I had seen the costumes before, but it was an otherwise entirely new storytelling medium for me. The odd method of speak-singing and the over-the-top makeup came off as silly at first, like a confounding form of opera (which is already rather confounding). By the end, though, I felt intimately connected to the art and the inimitable feelings it can evoke. 

The film begins in 1964 Japan, with a relatively amateur Kabuki performance from 15-year-old Kikuo Tachibana (Sōya Kurokawa at this age, then Ryo Yoshizawa once older), the son of a Yakuza boss. The performance turns tragic when a rival clan attacks and kills Kikuo’s father, initially sending the young man on a path of violent revenge. But Kikuo isn’t destined for a life of crime – he’s taken in by Hanai Hanjiro (Ken Watanabe), an aging Kabuki star who sees great potential in him, instilling in Kikuo a crucial piece of advice: the best revenge would be to honour his father and become the greatest Kabuki performer alive. Also gunning for GOAT status is Hanai’s son, Shunsuke (Keitatsu Koshiyama, later Ryusei Yokohama), who forms a fast friendship with his new housemate. We follow the two through five decades, chronicling their complicated bond as they rise through the ranks of theatrical stardom. 

Black Swan this is not. While the two will butt heads and be tested by envy and rivalry, their friendship is the film’s heart. The film dabbles in melodrama, mirroring the far more exaggerated delivery of Kabuki, choosing the most emotionally potent moments between the two as points of interest along the decades-spanning timeline. Ambitious but not overly so, Kokuho’s nearly 3-hour runtime is spent exploring every inch of Kikuo and Shunsuke’s relationships with each other and themselves. The two are constantly diverging and then crashing into one another, creating art when they collide and bitterness when apart. 

Kokuho is as uninterested in traditional romance as its leads (despite a subplot involving a childhood friend love triangle – no, this isn’t an anime), instead allowing the audience to fill in the words left unsaid between these two men who care deeply for one another. Perhaps those words are too unsaid, though – despite the ripe and obvious stage having been set for at least the hint of a queer story, there’s a case to be made that a gay or trans reading of the film is too subtle to be intentional. Though not a requirement, obviously, there are just enough moments of tangible chemistry to conjure these feelings, without any moments that capitalize on them. And, unless I’ve missed something, I don’t believe there are any deeper metaphors within the “men dressing as women” conceit of Kabuki itself. 

Nonetheless, Kokuho is riveting and devastating and undeniably impressive, with its Kabuki sequences containing some of the most resonant moments of the year. Kokuho is already a massive hit in Japan, and I hope it continues to turn heads when it inevitably arrives in Western theatres.

3. Good News

Never has a plane hijacking been so hilarious. Good News, a Korean film from writer/director Byun Sung-Hyun, flips the high anxiety of a political thriller on its head, crafting a wicked satire of perennial bureaucracy and the death of responsibility. 

It’s 1970 and communism is the scariest word in every language. Some young members of the Japanese Red Army Faction have taken it upon themselves to ditch the supposed capitalist hellscape of Japan and hijack a passenger jet headed for South Korea. Their new destination? The communist utopia of North Korea. Armed with knives, guns, and bombs, they take control of the aircraft, sending both the Korean and Japanese governments into a frenzy as they do everything they can to ground that plane. What follows is a Korean mission – headed by a mysterious government agent known only as “Nobody” (Sul Kyung-gu), alongside an underqualified but uniquely capable Air Force lieutenant (Hong Kyung) – to save face, with the secondary mission of saving the airborne hostages. 

A phenomenal ensemble cast takes us from one ludicrous plan to the next, as everyone scrambles to pass the buck. The film deftly balances genuine tension with Dr. Strangelove-referencing political parody, both of which it executes flawlessly. The film’s middle section features an absurd grand illusion in which South Korean intelligence tries desperately to make Seoul’s airport into a facsimile of Pyongyang’s in a ploy to fool the hijackers, with results that had me both in awe and doubled over with laughter. 

Good News never gets stale, but it does outstay its welcome. The final act, while still fun, suffers from a needless repetition of points made better, earlier. The endless bureaucratic stupidity and unwillingness of the higher-ups to take any responsibility is effective enough without an extra 20-odd minutes that could have easily been cut in service of a tighter conclusion. Regardless, this is a fresh, weighty satire that will surely make a splash when it releases soon as a Netflix original. 

2. Sound of Falling

Sound of Falling is agonizing. You will feel an all-consuming sense of dread for nearly two and a half hours, regardless of whether you love it or hate it. Director/writer Mascha Schilinski has shaped a film that’s intricate, meticulously detailed, at times confounding, but is guaranteed to make you feel the way Mascha intended. 

We wander through the lives of four women, each relegated to a different time period between the early 1900s and the early 2000s but living in the same German farmhouse, each tormented by trauma and abuse – past, present, and future. Oscillating between the discrete periods often without notice, the film creates a texture of suffering rather than a concrete, linear narrative. The frequent temporal shifts feel alienating at first; it’s not easy to keep track of who’s who and when’s when, and the film almost demands a second viewing. But the feelings remain: Sound of Falling is unrelenting in its presentation of sexual abuse, either firsthand or the effects of bearing witness to it, never outwardly depicting any acts, yet constantly confronting the viewer with feelings of lost identity and loneliness. 

This is all wrapped in a film that oozes despair, filled with imagery that looks innocuous but feels sickening. There’s almost a haunted house element, as if the very walls of the home – the only consistency among the timelines save for some familial connections – are providing us with these fragments of terrible memory. The film is not empathetic, it is not empowering, it is not hopeful, it is a pure representation of what it’s like to feel as though you’re never going to stop falling. Sound of Falling was not made for everyone, though I find it hard to believe anyone wouldn’t find themselves deeply affected by it. 

1. Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie

Nirvanna the Band the Show is the greatest thing that Toronto has ever birthed. Matt Johnson and Jay McCarrol created the show as a web series in 2007, then got a full series that aired on Viceland in 2017 for two seasons. NTBTS combines improvisational banter between Matt and Jay (playing fictionalized versions of themselves) with real interactions with the good people of Toronto, all of whom are entirely unaware that they’re actively influencing the narrative of a TV show. Each episode features a different harebrained scheme that will surely result in Matt and Jay achieving the impossible: getting a show at the Rivoli, a local bar/restaurant that has live music on occasion. 

The film is no different; of course it begins with another one of their brilliant plans (this time involving a base jump from the CN Tower). The film quickly goes even more off the rails, though, taking the duo back in time to when it all started – Bill Cosby, Jared Fogle, and Jian Ghomeshi (a Canadian creep, for those unaware) leer at them from newspapers and ads while an audience laughs uproariously at Bradley Cooper dropping the f-slur in The Hangover. Yeah, it’s 2007. We’re treated to one enlightened gag after another, some involving meticulous planning on the crew’s part and some stemming from the unpredictable Toronto public. Matt and Jay’s ability to improvise and adapt on the fly is unparalleled; they somehow manage to elicit something hilarious from every inch of this fine city.

The duo has so many inventive ideas; it’s unfathomable how they possess both the humour and the technical expertise to flawlessly pull off anything they think of. An early section of the film involves the reuse of their own footage from 17 years ago to create the illusion of having time-traveled, seamlessly weaving the past and present together in a way that makes it feel like this movie was 20 years in the making. This is innovative comedy, à la Nathan Fielder but with the silliness turned up to 11. Even if you’re not Torontonian, you owe it to yourself to check out the genius of Matt Johnson and Jay McCarrol.

TikToker Jessica Lowe builds glowing Kpop demon hunters costume for Netflix

by admin October 3, 2025



TikTok creator Jessica Lowe has crafted a detailed Halloween costume inspired by Netflix’s Kpop Demon Hunters, turning the project into a family affair with her 12-year-old daughter.

Released back in June 2025, Kpop Demon Hunters is a Netflix animated film about a group of idol performers who double as demon fighters.

In a video posted to TikTok, costume maker Jessica Lowe revealed that she was challenged by Netflix to recreate Derpy the Tiger, a character from the movie.

Crafter reveals KPop Demon Hunters Halloween costume

The costume was built using upholstery foam, faux fur, polymer clay for the nose, and a mix of cardboard and foam clay for the teeth. She added spray paint and rubber spray for finishing touches, while acrylic markers were used to detail spots on the chest.

The project included glowing LED eyes, a removable mini hat, and even a companion character named Sussy with its own light-up features. Lowe explained that she learned new crafting techniques during the process, including bending acrylic at home, and used community advice like razors and buzzers for shaping fur.

What’s coolest about the costume is the fact that the wearer can move Derpy’s eyes and tongue, making it equal parts cool and creepy.

Her daughter tested the costume and said it was easy to move in, while Lowe noted that the glowing eyes will either appear magical or terrifying to kids on Halloween night.

Lowe isn’t the first TikTok creative to go viral with a KPDH creation, either. LaraCakes gained attention back in September for her life-sized cake recreation of Rumi, one of the other main characters.

Tarleton State coach Billy Gillispie on leave amid inquiry

Tarleton State coach Billy Gillispie on leave amid inquiry

by admin October 3, 2025


Tarleton State coach Billy Gillispie has been placed on temporary administrative leave as the university investigates an anonymous complaint, the school announced Friday.

No details of the nature of the complaint were immediately available, and there is no timeline on how long the investigation may take. Associate head coach Glynn Cyprien has taken over as acting head coach.

The school said it would not comment further.

Gillispie faced allegations of player mistreatment while he was the coach at Texas Tech in 2011 and 2012. He resigned as the Red Raiders coach — citing health concerns — in September 2012. The resignation came about a month after the school said it was investigating the claims, which stemmed from Texas Tech players expressing concerns about the way they were being treated by Gillispie.

Questions about Gillispie’s coaching style also were made during his time at Kentucky, including the treatment of players and staff in the athletic department. He was fired in 2009, with Kentucky athletic director saying Gillispie “wasn’t the right fit for the program.” A $3 million settlement over his firing was reached later that year.

Gillispie, 65, is in his sixth season at Tarleton State, the longest of his five Division I head coaching stints, which also include time at UTEP and Texas A&M.

He is 78-74 at Tarleton State, including a 25-10 record in 2023-24 and a CIT appearance. He has gone 226-182 in 13 seasons as a head coach with four NCAA tournament appearances.

Cyprien is a longtime college assistant with stops that include UNLV, Oklahoma State, Arkansas, Kentucky, Memphis and Texas Tech.

Growing in power over the centuries, Dracula now rules as the Voivode of the Vampire Nation. Though he plays the role of a refined leader, his thirst for blood and violence will never truly be sated.

Franken-Castle (Skill)

The Punisher met a grisly end and was finally allowed to rest in peace. Unfortunately his rest is cut short as he roars to life on Doctor Michael Morbius’ operating table. Frank was re-assembled to help The Legion of Monsters protect Monster Metropolis and its denizens from would-be monster hunters. Franken-Castle now continues his crusade for vengeance deep into his undeath.

Tokyo Game Show: Flashy booths mask economic and industry anxiety | Opinion

by admin October 3, 2025


Although Japanese games are finding increasing presence in the global gaming marketplace, something felt off when visiting Makuhari Messe for this year’s Tokyo Game Show (TGS).

Many of the big companies in Japanese console and PC gaming held relatively light showcases, limited to already released titles or games set to release within the coming weeks and months.

Sega’s biggest games on display were Sonic Racing: Crossworlds, which was released on day one of TGS, and Like a Dragon 3: Kiwami, the newly announced remake of the early PS3 title. Konami had the Japan-only latest entry in the Momotaru Densetsu series, a sequel to the best-selling third-party title in Japan and set for release in just six weeks’ time, along with Silent Hill f, another title that had already been released by the time the show kicked off.

Level-5 were present at the event to showcase Inazuma Eleven: Victory Road and Professor Layton and the New World of Steam, set for release in November and 2026, respectively. But the company had already showcased these two games at last year’s event, where Level-5 also had Fantasy Life i on show. Other titles on their slate – such as Decapolice, showcased with a public demo at TGS in 2023 but delayed to 2026 to address feedback – were nowhere to be seen.

Similar summaries can be given for Sony, Square Enix, and Bandai Namco: the latter’s showcase was limited to new entries releasing this autumn in the Digimon, Little Nightmares, and Katamari series.

Rather than offering a glimpse into the future of next year or beyond, the show felt absent of anything exciting for those playing on console or PC. Indeed, aside from Capcom – whose booth was by far the most popular as it shared the first domestic glance of their 2026 lineup, including Resident Evil: Requiem (with a global-debut preview of the Switch 2 version) and Pragmata – Japanese publishers and developers were not the draw for many fans attending TGS.

Why were Japanese developers lacking in new titles, and what was capturing the imagination of fans instead? To understand that, it may be worth first leaving the showfloor and looking elsewhere.

Akihabara may have lost some of its lustre as Japan’s otaku capital on the cutting-edge of Japanese anime and gaming culture, but it’s still a strong indicator of what hardcore audiences of these mediums are engaging with most. Visit the city recently, however, and you’ll notice something has changed. Billboards that were once plastered with promotions for major upcoming anime and games are near-permanently rotated between an array of promotions for in-game events for ongoing free-to-play titles from East Asian studios based outside Japan, like Genshin Impact.

Animate Akihabara, Japan’s biggest anime retailer, currently promotes the Nikke collaboration with Resident Evil at its entrance. The central exit of Akihabara Station has even been renamed after Yostar, the Shanghai-based developer and publisher of Azur Lane and Blue Archive.

While the mobile free-to-play boom of the 2010s may have reached its apex with a strong recovery of traditional gaming propelled by the Nintendo Switch, that’s not to say these games don’t remain a dominant part of the Japanese gaming landscape. In-app purchases for mobile games reached $11 billion in 2024 according to Sensor Tower, and considering the growing trend of these free-to-play titles finding an audience on console and PC alongside the minimal appetite for premium titles, it’s likely the true spend on free-to-play games in Japan is higher than these reported numbers.

What differentiates the free-to-play market today in Japan compared with ten or even five years ago is how much more difficult it is to launch a successful new title against established favourites in the sector. Without brand recognition at the developer or IP level, you need to do something to get your game in front of as many people willing to spend money as possible.

Anything that can help a title to stand out and increase brand awareness can make a difference, and TGS is a high-profile way to make an impression. That said, it’s a risk – while a 3m x 3m booth can cost as little as 385,000 yen, a large-scale booth can cost millions of yen before staffing and construction.

In a preview of the 2025 CESA Video Game Industry Report handed to the press attending TGS, one thing stood out: while the Japanese games industry did grow by 3.4% last year to 2,396 billion yen, this growth can mostly be attributed to the mobile gaming market. Indeed, the console market has shrunk from 395 billion yen to 383 billion yen since 2020. The market for non-mobile gaming has only grown overall in this period thanks to the more than 100% growth in the PC market, from 122 billion yen to 265 billion yen in the same period.

For every demographic between 5 and 60 years old, mobile player counts among Japanese players either remain in line with players on console or, for those aged 15 years or older, exceed it.

While the most common primary or secondary platform for console or mobile players is Nintendo Switch, even the Nintendo DS and 3DS era of consoles is more popular than both the PS4 and, below that, PS5 in the eyes of the general population, where much of the high-budget headline-grabbing major games are being developed. With a PS5 costing 80,000 yen, compared with the 50,000 yen for a Switch 2, it’s simply too pricey for many players (something that’s also a factor in terms of the player base for the console skewing older).

The big money is in mobile gaming, and getting even a small slice of that pie can lead to big returns. The risk is worth taking.

Every year at TGS, alongside the typical line-up of major Japanese publishers and select international partners, a few free-to-play titles take to the show floor. By spending big on a flashy booth with even flashier female models handing out fliers and freebies, they hope to generate word of mouth on their upcoming or already launched free-to-play games. This year, it felt overwhelming seeing how many of these booths littered the show floor, and to what extreme lengths they would go to provoke attention from the hordes of players attending the event.

Lots of the buzz on the show floor centred around Ananta

They filled the void left by a lack of eye-catching games to command long lines from major studios. Instead, in terms of already released titles, fans flocked to booths for Love and Deepspace, Infinity Nikki, Nikke, and more in order to take photos with their favourite characters, snag exclusive merchandise, and interact with other fans. Among the unreleased games vying for the attention and anticipation of attending fans, lots of the buzz on the show floor centred around Ananta, the new free-to-play open-world action game developed by Naked Rain and published by NetEase, targeting PC, PS5, and mobile.

The game consistently enjoyed long lines throughout the event, with large backpacks designed after the game’s main character ever present on the show floor throughout. While online reactions have noted the game’s many similarities to the likes of Insomniac’s Spider-Man titles, Like a Dragon, Uncharted, Grand Theft Auto, and more, reaction from those playing the demo was relatively positive. For all that it aped these popular games from other studios (personally, I felt it also wasn’t fully able to mesh these ideas or refine them enough to be enjoyable in their own right or feel cohesive in the same project), many relished the idea of enjoying these mechanics within a more appealing anime aesthetic tailored to the Asian and Japanese markets.

Among the other free-to-play games enjoying long lines at the show were Smilegate’s Miresi: Invisible Future and another NetEase title, Sword of Justice.

There are other reasons these games are once again growing in the post-COVID Japanese market, years after the initial mobile boom came to an end. Though the huge player numbers and overall market spend are eye-catching figures for studio executives, the spend per user on mobile games is significantly lower than those who are primarily console or PC players. High revenue is offset by high spenders, a point emphasized by a recent survey noting 18.8% of respondents admitted prioritizing gacha spending over essentials including rent.

While Japanese players are more willing to spend money on free-to-play games – Sensor Tower research noted that although 80% of Japanese mobile game downloads came from overseas, revenue for these titles came 70% from domestic players – there remains a significant portion of the Japanese player base for these games that engages with these titles without spending anything.

With the trend for more high-budget free-to-play titles, like Hoyoverse’s Genshin Impact and Honkai: Star Rail alongside many of the titles on display at this year’s TGS, these games offer cash-strapped players a chance to still enjoy high-budget, flashy action and graphics without needing to buy a new device beyond the essential phone they already own, at a time where many Japanese people are cash-strapped in economically strained times.

Some who choose against in-game spending will instead spend money on merchandise

After decades of relative price and wage stagnation, inflation without similar increases in the average wage (the cost of rice has increased by 100% in just 12 months to above 4,000 yen for a 5 kg bag) has left many Japanese people struggling to spend money on luxuries such as gaming. Coupled with the fact that the most successful free-to-play games enjoy a vast multimedia empire peppered with pop-up stores and merchandising, cafe collaborations, and more, these games offer a chance for players to embrace not just a game, but a lifestyle.

Some who choose against in-game spending will instead spend money on merchandise centring their favourite characters, allowing people to show off their hobbies to friends without the initial high cost of entry. They can meet and participate in in-person activities that merge their hobbies with socializing. It’s luxury on a budget – a chance to go out eating and do fun events with friends, without sacrificing other hobbies in order to do so.

In such a market, the key to success comes in encouraging the most intense players to part with their money, something that translates to more extreme public showcases. Sex sells, and in a flashback to the 2000s, a number of sexually demeaning booths sought to attract the eyes of hardcore players with raunchy displays and fan service.

Nikke’s booth, for the second year running, offered a “human gacha,” where players could simulate the roll for new characters in-game by pressing a button to reveal suggestive cosplayers in boxes reminiscent of the in-game character reward screen.

Miresi: Invisible Future – found on the show floor directly next to the family-friendly offerings of Sonic proudly showcasing its Minecraft collaboration – grabbed attention by showcasing “the artistic vision of AD Kim Hyung-seop (Hyulla)” on a 5.5 metre LED cube. This mostly resulted in the rather scantily clad main character’s butt and chest jiggling endlessly and unavoidably for all to see.

It felt demeaning, but if these can attract the players who will spend the excesses of money needed to pull these characters in-game and keep the game afloat, this will be viewed as a success regardless.

In an attempt to earn maximum money and cut budgets in a time when game spending is tight, it should be no surprise that the same 2025 games industry report found that 51% of Japanese developers stated they are embracing generative AI in development. Indeed, there was a full pavilion on the TGS show floor dedicated to the technology: a pavilion that pushed the actual artistic output of a curated selection of indie games away from the main show floor and into the corridors above the convention floor itself, demeaning it to a sideshow outside the view of most attendees.

The rise of AI, the exploitative nature of the manner in which these free-to-play titles were being showcased, alongside the lack of major titles from Japanese publishers and developers, made this an uncomfortable TGS to visit on both business and public days.

It’s no secret that as the industry undergoes a post-COVID realignment of expectations, companies are slashing budgets and cancelling games. While firms like Square Enix are publicly acknowledging the fact they are adjusting their approach to games development and cancelling titles, the true scale of cancellations is likely to be far larger, with many titles that have never been publicly announced getting the chop.

It’s hard not to view TGS in 2025 as representing the anxieties of the industry and its players

Layoffs in Japan are not as prevalent as has been seen internationally (in part due to local labour laws), thus helping studios to retain institutional knowledge that is being lost elsewhere. But many developers I’ve spoken to acknowledge that they are choosing not to renew the contracts of temporary workers instead of letting full-time employees go.

However, it would be naive to pin this year’s shift in balance on a temporary course correction rather than a decade-long trend of economic uncertainty, which has forced players to reconsider their spend on new games and instead find experiences within the rising free-to-play market. Far from needing a full trade show to expose it, the popularity of free-to-play mobile titles has been easy to spot online and by glancing at the phones of people playing on the train. To ignore this trend would be to ignore the more existential concerns facing the future of gaming both inside and outside Japan.

While respect for Japanese games and media is growing, it’s hard not to view TGS in 2025 as representing the anxieties of the industry and its players, rather than its virtues. The worries of developers about budgets and the need to scale back, the worries of players about how to afford new consoles and games, and how to keep enjoying a hobby they love. Solving these issues will require economic intervention that goes far beyond gaming.

In the meantime, how will the games industry adjust to this financial and social realignment? I’m not sure TGS 2025 had the answers, but it sure staked a claim at the future.

2025 MLB playoffs: World Series odds, postseason preview

by admin October 3, 2025


The 2025 MLB playoffs are rolling along!

After the wild-card round ended with a trio of Game 3s, the division series matchups are set with all four Game 1s starting Saturday.

Will Shohei Ohtani’s Los Angeles Dodgers meet Aaron Judge and the New York Yankees in a World Series rematch? Is this the year the Seattle Mariners and Milwaukee Brewers finally get to the Fall Classic? Will the Philadelphia Phillies make another deep run after a strong regular season?

MLB experts Jorge Castillo, Bradford Doolittle, Alden Gonzalez, Jeff Passan and David Schoenfield get you ready with odds for every round, why every team could win it all — or go home early — and a name to watch for on all 12 World Series hopefuls.

Note: World Series and matchup odds come from Doolittle’s formula using power ratings as the basis for 10,000 simulations to determine the most likely outcomes. Team temperatures are based on Bill James’ formula for determining how “hot” or “cold” a team is at any given point; average is 72°.

Series outlooks | Schedule | Bracket | ESPN BET

Jump to a team:
TOR | SEA | NYY | DET

ALDS opponent: Yankees (47.4% chance of advancing)

Doolittle’s WS odds: 11.0% | ESPN BET Odds: +650

Team temperature: 91°

Why they can win the World Series: The Blue Jays don’t strike out, and they field as cleanly as any team in the postseason field. Toronto has scuffled lately, yes, and the culprit is a punchless offense. But Toronto has spent much of the season with one of the game’s best units in runs scored as well as wOBA, and although Bo Bichette’s return from a knee injury is questionable, the Blue Jays still have enough to mash their way past teams. They’ll need good pitching, and while there isn’t a clear ace or lockdown bullpen piece, they have droves of arms capable of excellence. There’s a reason the Blue Jays have spent much of the season fighting for the best record in the American League. Excellence isn’t accidental. And not striking out in the postseason is quite the excellent predictor of success. — Passan

Editor’s Picks

2 Related

If they win it all, the 2025 World Series MVP will be: George Springer. At age 35, Springer was Toronto’s best hitter this season, changing his approach by focusing more on his “A” swing at all times to generate more consistent bat speed and a higher hard-hit percentage. That resulted in nearly doubling his average launch angle while keeping his strikeout rate stable anyway. Oh, and he’s been a great postseason hitter in his career, hitting .268/.346/.529 with 19 home runs in 67 games and winning World Series MVP honors with the Astros in 2017. — Schoenfield

If they go home early it will be because … the offense doesn’t wake up. The Blue Jays’ recipe for scoring runs this season centered around putting the ball in play and not striking out while still featuring some power. But that pop vanished down the stretch before turning it on the final weekend. Their struggles correspond with Bo Bichette going on the injured list with a sprained knee. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and Springer were two of the best hitters in the American League this season, but Toronto clearly missed Bichette, who hasn’t been cleared to begin running. — Castillo

Ready for his October close-up: At some point in these playoffs, the Blue Jays will hold a narrow lead, the ninth inning will arrive, the microscope will zoom in on Jeff Hoffman, and nobody will know what to expect. Hoffman was really bad in May, July and August, pretty good in the other months, and on the whole, has allowed way too many home runs and absorbed way too many blown saves in the first season of a three-year, $33 million deal. How far the Blue Jays advance in this year’s postseason will rest largely on Hoffman’s right arm. A close-up, indeed. — Gonzalez

Why you should root for them: Three true outcomes baseball got you down? Tune in to some Blue Jays baseball to fulfill all of your balls-in-play needs. Toronto put the ball in play in 81.7% of its plate appearances, first in the majors and the highest percentage by an AL team since the 2017 Astros. There’s a connection here, of course: Springer played for both clubs. If that means anything, it bodes well for Toronto because Houston won the 2017 World Series. We won’t get into what came after. — Doolittle

No. 2 seed | 90-72 | AL West champs

ALDS opponent: Tigers (51.6% chance of advancing)

Doolittle’s WS odds: 9.9% | ESPN BET Odds: +500

Team temperature: 88°

Why they can win the World Series: They’ve had the best offense in baseball in September. Their rotation is replete with starting pitchers who, on any given night, can throw seven shutout frames. The back end of their bullpen features two of the nastiest relievers in the game. And they’ve got the Big Dumper. Regardless of his might this year, Cal Raleigh himself can’t carry an entire team, which is why it’s nice to have Julio Rodriguez and Randy Arozarena and Eugenio Suarez and Josh Naylor and Jorge Polanco and Dom Canzone and J.P. Crawford in the lineup, too. And as long as Bryan Woo remains healthy, the rotation with Logan Gilbert, George Kirby and Luis Castillo might be the best in the postseason. Finish off with Matt Brash in the eighth and Andres Munoz in the ninth, and you can see why FanGraphs has the Mariners with the best odds to win the World Series of any team in baseball. — Passan

If they win it all, the 2025 World Series MVP will be: Julio Rodriguez. Wait, not Raleigh? Sure, that’s the more obvious choice, but after his historic power season, it’s possible teams will pitch around Raleigh in October and force other hitters to beat them. That would open the door for J-Rod, who heated up the final two-plus months and bats after Raleigh in the lineup. Throw in some spectacular center-field defense and he could join Springer as the only center fielder to win World Series MVP honors since … well, this is pretty shocking: Springer and Reggie Jackson in 1973 are the only center fielders to win since the award began in 1955. — Schoenfield

The Big Dumper … and some magic?

Seattle has never won a World Series. Or even an American League pennant. Could a little bit of alchemy change that? Alden Gonzalez »

If they go home early it will be because … Woo’s injury is a real issue. The All-Star, who exited his start on Sept. 19 with inflammation in his right pectoral, did not make his scheduled start Thursday. Mariners general manager Justin Hollander told reporters the club did not believe the setback warranted putting Woo on the injured list and he’s responded well from treatment, but Woo will go into the postseason without having pitched in a game in over two weeks. While Seattle’s rotation is one of the deepest in baseball, Woo emerged as the ace this season with a 2.94 ERA over 30 starts. He is critical to their World Series chances. — Castillo

Ready for his October close-up: Woo didn’t debut until 2023, the year after the Mariners made their last trip to the playoffs. By 2024, he had established himself as one of the game’s best young pitchers. And in 2025, he cemented that by making his first All-Star team, the high point of a regular season in which he won 15 games, posted a 2.94 ERA, compiled 186⅔ innings and was the most consistent starter in a Mariners rotation that didn’t find itself until recently. Woo exited his last start with pectoral tightness. The hope is he’ll be good to go for the playoffs. — Gonzalez

Why you should root for them: Behold the historic firsts … or at least the possibility of them. Raleigh’s home run ticker rolls back to zero when the playoffs begin, and while he’ll still attract plenty of attention, that number zero looms large over the Mariners’ franchise as a whole. Seattle remains the only franchise with zero World Series appearances. Three of the Mariners’ five playoff trips have ended in the ALCS, culminating in two losses to the Yankees and one to Cleveland — possible obstacles this year as well. — Doolittle

No. 4 seed | 94-68 | AL wild card

Wild-card result: Defeated Red Sox in three games

Wild-card opponent: Blue Jays (52.6% chance of advancing)

Doolittle’s WS odds: 13.5% | ESPN BET Odds: +850

Team temperature: 115°

Why they can win the World Series: They hit home runs. And, no, that’s not going to be the only reason. But it’s the most compelling. The Yankees have the best home run hitter in the game today in Aaron Judge, and he’s bound to show up one of these Octobers and unleash the full extent of his power in the postseason. The mere possibility of that makes New York dangerous. The Yankees complement it with a lineup of hitters who, even taking out Judge’s 53, combined for 221 home runs, which would rank seventh in MLB. That disincentivizes pitching around him. Between Max Fried and Carlos Rodon, the Yankees have one of the game’s best starting pairs, and their relief pitching is showing good signs over the past week. Ultimately, the Yankees will go as far as the long ball takes them. If they keep hitting homers, they’ll be tough to stop, regardless of deficiencies elsewhere. — Passan

If they win it all, the 2025 World Series MVP will be: Look, Judge’s postseason history isn’t great. It’s not even good by his regular-season standards, with a career line of .205/.318/.450 and just .169/.283/.360 over his past three postseasons across 24 games. But he’s the best hitter in baseball, and he’s certainly due for a big October. It helps that, with a team that led the majors in home runs, he has more help around him than some of those other playoff lineups. — Schoenfield

What it’s really like facing Aaron Judge

We asked everyone from MLB aces and former college rivals to a tech salesman for their best tales of squaring off against the Yankees slugger. Facing Judge »

If they go home early it will be because … relievers don’t perform to their track records. The names in New York’s bullpen pop: David Bednar. Devin Williams. Luke Weaver. Camilo Doval. All four have been successful closers at the major league level; Weaver, the only one without an All-Star nod, was the closer for the Yankees’ World Series push last year. But the Yankees’ relief corps has been mercurial since adding Bednar and Doval at the trade deadline. Bednar established himself as the closer, but Doval has been sporadic. The group’s ceiling is high. But the second half proved its floor is surprisingly low. — Castillo

Ready for his October close-up: Ben Rice carried the Yankees in their last road game of the regular season, collecting four hits, including the 10th-inning grand slam that sent them to victory in Baltimore. The 26-year-old has emerged as a crucial part of the lineup and will find himself in it often in October, whether he’s at first base or behind the plate. This lineup seems deeper than the one the Yankees fielded in last year’s World Series run, and Rice is a key reason. Said manager Aaron Boone: “I think we’re seeing the emergence of a true middle-of-the-order bat with power.” — Gonzalez

Why you should root for them: Well, let’s face it, you root for them because you’re already a Yankees fan, but other than that, the fun actually lies in rooting against the Yankees. But it’s hard to root against Judge, and sometimes even great players have a negative postseason narrative that follows them around. If the Yankees win, and it’s because Judge finally goes off in October, it’s just good, solid baseball history that, as a baseball fan, you won’t want to miss. — Doolittle

No. 6 seed | 87-75 | AL wild card

Wild-card result: Defeated Guardians in three games

ALDS opponent: Mariners (48.4% chance of advancing)

Doolittle’s WS odds: 7.2% | ESPN BET Odds: +850

Team temperature: 57°

Why they can win the World Series: Because once upon a time this was the best team in the American League. It’s easy to forget after their historic collapse, but the Tigers entered May, June, July, August and, yes, September with the best record in the AL. Recent travails notwithstanding, this is a good baseball team, and even with a number of pitchers and infielder Colt Keith on the injured list, the Tigers have the depth — and in manager A.J. Hinch the acumen — to do damage in October. It starts with Tarik Skubal, the best pitcher in baseball the past two seasons and one hell of an assignment for the Mariners if they have to face him twice in a five-game series. Win that, get the good feeling back, hope the slugging of Riley Greene, Kerry Carpenter and Spencer Torkelson shows up, find top-level form from Casey Mize and Jack Flaherty and pray the bullpen finds some strikeout elixir. More than anything, remember what it’s like to win after spending too long not knowing the feeling. –– Passan

The extraordinary mystery of Tarik Skubal

“I wasn’t good until I was 26,” the All-Star pitcher says. Here’s how Skubal rose from Little League lore to Cy Young. Tim Keown »

If they win it all, the 2025 World Series MVP will be: Skubal would be the easy answer, but Stephen Strasburg is the only pitcher to win World Series MVP honors in the past 10 years and only he, Madison Bumgarner and Cole Hamels have won the award in the past 20 postseasons. So maybe Greene? He can run hot and cold with the bat and the strikeouts are a concern, but he can also hit some big home runs. — Schoenfield

If they go home early it will be because … the starting rotation around Skubal doesn’t carry its weight. Skubal, the AL Cy Young favorite, recorded a 2.42 ERA in four September starts. And yet the Tigers’ rotation ERA for the month was still a bloated 4.84. That helps explain the team’s near-monumental collapse, though the offense and bullpen didn’t help matters. Flaherty and Mize, the team’s No. 2 and 3 starters, must give the Tigers some effective length to avoid an early exit. — Castillo

Ready for his October close-up: Mize, the first overall pick in the 2018 draft, did not pitch for the Tigers in last year’s wild-card round and was left off their ALDS roster. It marked his first season back from a prolonged recovery from Tommy John surgery, and Mize never truly felt right. This year, he made his first All-Star team and, with help from a solid enough September, established himself as a key member of the postseason rotation. If the Tigers are going to go from nearly blowing a playoff spot to playing deep into October, other starters are going to have to step up beyond Skubal. It’s Mize’s turn to prove he can. — Gonzalez

Why you should root for them: Want to see how bouncy a baseball team can be? Check out the nosediving Tigers, who squeaked into the playoffs largely because they weren’t the only AL contender in a late-season free fall. Detroit’s .291 September winning percentage doesn’t bode well. In fact, if the Tigers can rebound from here to the heights of a title, it would be an unprecedented reversal.. Only 10 eventual champs have sported a last-month winning percentage under .500. The worst was the .414 mark (12-17) of the 2006 Cardinals — who beat Detroit in that year’s World Series. — Doolittle

Why they can win the World Series: They’ve been the best team in baseball over six months. In the modern game, that takes a blend of depth, player development and fidelity to an ethos that runs through the organization expecting excellence. If the deck is stacked against you, unstack it and restack it to better suit you. It’s easy to say, but how the Brewers play — disciplined and smart and fully bought-in — is an enviable brand of baseball. They’re a fun team to watch because they were better than everyone, sure. But really fun because they bully without the home run, which is something of a novel concept in today’s game. Milwaukee embraced it as it embraces any impediment. There’s always the chance that a consistently winning team never makes the World Series. But the cavalry of live arms, the nine hitters with OPS+ over 111 (and two more over 100), the NL-best 164 steals, the glovework that’s among the best in MLB by every publicly available defensive metric — it makes sense. They’re the best for a reason. So why would that change? — Passan

How the Brewers built a $115 million power

As small-market Milwaukee rolls along with MLB’s best record, everyone wants to know the Brew Crew’s secret formula. Jesse Rogers »

If they win it all, the 2025 World Series MVP will be: Brice Turang is no longer just a slick-fielding second baseman with speed. He has added power this season, especially in the second half — during which he’s slugged over .500. He hits righties and lefties, does a good job of not chasing out of the zone and can pound fastballs. Oh, and he hit .364 with runners in scoring position. — Schoenfield

If they go home early it will be because … their lack of power catches up with them. Runs are often scarce in October when teams maximize deploying their best pitchers. And while manufacturing them by any means necessary is the goal, hitting home runs is an indicator of October success. The only team to finish outside the top nine in home runs for a season and reach the World Series over the past five years was the 2023 Diamondbacks. The Brewers, meanwhile, finished this season tied for 21st in home runs with Christian Yelich’s 29 leading the way. — Castillo

Ready for his October close-up: The hype that surrounded Jacob Misiorowski at midseason, prompting a surprising All-Star appearance despite fewer than 30 career major league innings, has since faded. In nine starts since then, his ERA is 5.45. He’s no longer good enough to crack the Brewers’ postseason rotation. Not yet, anyway. The team, though, is considering using him out of the bullpen, and that’s when things could get really interesting. Misiorowski captivated the nation because he possessed some of the sport’s most devastating stuff despite taking on the workload of a starting pitcher. Out of the bullpen, that triple-digit fastball and wipeout slider would certainly play, especially in October. — Gonzalez

Why you should root for them: The Brewers are one of the three teams in this year’s field — along with the Mariners and Padres — hunting for their first title. But this was the best regular season in Milwaukee’s history, and for the first time since 1982, the Brewers will enter the playoffs with the best record in MLB. Intangibly, this is perhaps the most aesthetically pleasing team to watch, featuring flashy defenders, a number of high-volume base stealers and a lot of balls in play. In other words, the reasons to watch and root for the Brew Crew are many. It would be much harder to identify reasons you would not want to root for them. — Doolittle

No. 2 seed | 96-66 | NL East champs

NLDS opponent: Dodgers (49.8% chance of advancing)

Doolittle’s WS odds: 13.1% | ESPN BET Odds: +450

Team temperature: 90°

Why they can win the World Series: Kyle Schwarber is made for October, and he will hold court, along with Bryce Harper, Cristopher Sanchez, Jhoan Duran and the rest of the cavalcade, in front of the most raucous crowd in baseball at Citizens Bank Park. Those are the featured players, but the Phillies’ run could hinge on their four starters’ capacity to go deep into games. The bullpen is top-heavy, and the top is good, but if they aren’t scared off by the third time through the order like so many others, the Phillies can ride their rotation far. Schwarber and Harper have combined for 38 home runs in 510 career postseason plate appearances and are two of the best playoff performers of their generation. If the Phillies can hit some timely home runs — eight others on the roster reached double-digit homers — their case, already perhaps the most compelling in baseball, gets that much stronger. — Passan

If they win it all, the 2025 World Series MVP will be: We have two logical choices here: Schwarber and Harper. Both have been outstanding in the playoffs. Schwarber has a .906 OPS and 21 home runs in 69 games, and Harper has a 1.016 OPS and 17 home runs in 53 games. Schwarber, of course, had a monster regular season. Let’s go with Harper, though. He knows how to lock in for October better than any other active hitter, and with time possibly running out on this aging Phillies team, it might be now or never for Harper to win a World Series. — Schoenfield

If they go home early it will be because … Trea Turner doesn’t quickly find his rhythm. Turner was placed on the injured list because of a Grade 1 hamstring strain Sept. 8. He was activated Friday and played in Sunday’s season finale. The Phillies’ offense hummed without Turner behind Schwarber’s continued dominance of opposing pitchers, but October is a different beast, and Turner is an elite talent who could change Philadelphia’s playoff fortunes. The shortstop won the NL batting title, led the league with 179 hits and stole 36 bases. A healthy Turner adds another dimension. — Castillo

MLB most exciting player bracket

Ohtani or De La Cruz? We narrow the field — with a rep from every team — to one true must-watch player. Bracket »

Ready for his October close-up: Jhoan Duran got a taste of postseason baseball with the Twins in 2023, but he has never experienced it quite like at “The Bank,” with his walkout song blaring through what is widely considered the loudest, most boisterous ballpark this time of year. The Phillies’ front office beat out a bevy of suitors for Duran at the trade deadline, and he has been everything the team could have imagined, locking down the back end of a leaky bullpen and looking very much like the final player of a title quest. Soon, the ninth inning will come, and “El Incomprendido” will play. Philly will be ready. — Gonzalez

Why you should root for them: Tired of the bullpen parade? The Phillies are your team. Philadelphia far and away paced the majors in innings from starters. It wasn’t just volume either, as Philly logged baseball’s third-best rotation ERA (3.57). And it wasn’t because the Phillies preached pitch to contact: Philadelphia led all of baseball in strikeout rate from starting pitchers, and strikeout-minus-walks percentage. Sure, the loss of Zack Wheeler is a bummer, but the Sanchez-led rotation remains the foundation of the Phillies and their greatest hopes to traverse the bullpen-heavy staffs of the rest of the bracket en route to the World Series. — Doolittle

No. 3 seed | 93-69 | NL West champs

Wild-card result: Defeated Reds in two games

NLDS opponent: Phillies (50.2 chance of advancing)

Doolittle’s WS odds: 16.5% | ESPN BET Odds: +425

Team temperature: 113°

Why they can win the World Series: They did it last year and pretty much everyone who contributed to that team is back — plus a few more. This time, they’ve got to get through the wild-card series, which is no fun, but their starting pitching depth is truly daunting. No matter how they deploy Shohei Ohtani, Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Blake Snell and Tyler Glasnow, any permutation works. The bullpen is … a work in progress. But if you’re seeking a functional relief corps on the fly, there are worse places to start than with a group of 10 who have thrown out of the bullpen this month, seven at 95-plus (including Roki Sasaki), with Emmet Sheehan and Clayton Kershaw likewise at the ready. As for the hitters: Ohtani will win his second straight NL MVP, Mookie Betts is right again, Freddie Freeman in October is automatic and even if Will Smith is out, what the Dodgers manage better than anyone is depth, and despite the disappointment of the regular season, there exists this truth: If every team plays its best, the Dodgers are better than all of them. — Passan

If they win it all, the 2025 World Series MVP will be: How about Freeman in a repeat performance? Hey, Corey Seager won in 2020 and 2023 (for two different teams), although no player has won MVP in back-to-back World Series. Freeman has played 11 World Series games — and reached via a hit in all 11 with an OPS of 1.171. He never lets the moment get too big, and another big World Series would cement his status as one of the all-time great clutch postseason performers. — Schoenfield

If they go home early it will be because … the bullpen sinks this behemoth. Six different Dodgers relievers finished September with an ERA north of 5.00. Their team bullpen ERA for the month that ranked 26th in baseball. Only three teams blew more saves. Tanner Scott’s first season in Los Angeles was a colossal disappointment. Kirby Yates, their other major free agent bullpen addition, landed on the injured list again during the final week of the regular season. Brock Stewart, the only reliever acquired at the trade deadline, pitched in four games before going on the IL. As a result, the Dodgers will supplement the bullpen with starters; Kershaw, Sasaki and Sheehan all figure to play significant relief roles in October. — Castillo

Everyone wants a Clayton Kershaw souvenir — including his opponents. Alden Gonzalez »

Ready for his October close-up: Baseball fans were delighted to see Ohtani grace the postseason stage last October, but that was only half of him. This year, Ohtani will be fully unlocked. He’ll pitch — in Game 1 of the division series against the Phillies — and he’ll hit, with few, if any, limitations. The Dodgers were very careful in how they handled Ohtani’s pitching return, all with the thought of making sure he was at his best going into October. That goal was accomplished. Ohtani has once again proven he can be as dominant on the mound as he is in the batter’s box. Now, he’ll show it when it really counts. — Gonzalez

Why you should root for them: You like dynasties? Another Dodgers title would further cement L.A.’s dominance over the rest of baseball. The Dodgers looked far more vulnerable than predicted during the season, and their struggles continued into the latter stages of the regular season. But Ohtani will unleash his two-way act in the playoffs for the first time, Betts has turned around his down season, and everyone wants to send Kershaw into retirement on a high note. Dynasties are dynasties because they win even when their plans haven’t unfolded exactly as they foresaw. — Doolittle

No. 4 seed | 92-70 | NL wild card

Wild-card result: Defeated Padres in three games

NLDS opponent: Brewers (43.8% chance of advancing)

Doolittle’s WS odds: 11.9% | ESPN BET Odds: +800

Team temperature: 87°

Why they can win the World Series: They’re a magnificent defensive team, they’ve got Kyle Tucker back to charge an offense that has been a bottom-quarter run-scoring team in the second half, and Daniel Palencia has also returned with his velocity. Maybe their flashes of excellence when they were healthy get rekindled. The Cubs might not be as talented as the NL elite, but their lineup is filled with hitters willing to take walks and not striking out exorbitantly. That kind of approach — and home run hitting — win in October, and the Cubs have both. Keep the steady performances from Andrew Kittredge and Brad Keller to lengthen the bullpen and hope for a mid-postseason return by Cade Horton, who would immediately make their chances that much better. — Passan

If they win it all, the 2025 World Series MVP will be: Ian Happ. Tucker has battled multiple injuries in the second half, including a calf injury that sidelined him most of September. Pete Crow-Armstrong has dropped off significantly in the second half. Seiya Suzuki has likewise slumped. Happ is the overlooked member of the Cubs’ lineup, but he’s a switch-hitter with power, he gets on base, controls his strikeouts reasonably well, has hit well in the second half and usually bats second or third, giving him plenty of RBI and run-scoring opportunities. — Schoenfield

‘You know that’s not normal, right?’

Inside the rise of Pete Crow-Armstrong, MLB’s next superstar. Jesse Rogers »

If they go home early it will be because … the late injuries pushed them off track. The Cubs’ best every-day player (Tucker), top starting pitcher (Horton) and closer (Palencia) dealt with injuries down the stretch. Though Tucker (calf) and Palencia (shoulder) returned from the injured list during the regular season’s final week, Horton was pulled from his start last Tuesday because of back tightnesss and placed on the injured list Saturday because of a rib fracture, the team announced. — Castillo

Ready for his October close-up: Here’s one thing we know about the Cubs going into these playoffs: they’re going to have to score runs, especially with Horton out for at least the first round. Kyle Tucker missed most of September and Pete Crow-Armstrong had the majors’ lowest OPS among qualified hitters after the start of August, which only heightens the pressure on someone like Michael Busch. There’s plenty of reason for hope. The Cubs’ offense hasn’t been clicking on all cylinders lately, but Busch, 27, has been at his best over these last couple weeks and led the team with 34 home runs this season. He’ll be at the top of the lineup against righties and his production will be critical. — Gonzalez

Why you should root for them: An eight-year title drought is small potatoes in Chicago, but 2016 is starting to feel like a long time ago. This version of the Cubs, led by first-title-seeker Craig Counsell, has a chance to carve out its place in the hearts of North Side fans with a deep run this October. When the Cubs have been at their best, they’ve featured an electric offense led by Kyle Tucker, Seiya Suzuki and current fan favorite (P-C-A! P-C-A!) Pete Crow-Armstrong. With Tucker headed for free agency, this might be the Cubs’ best shot at matching their 2016 heights with this group. — Doolittle
