The local excitement surrounding Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba reached a fever pitch with the highly anticipated arrival of the Infinity Castle animated film and a red carpet premiere attended by Japanese voice actor Takahiro Sakurai, but there’s still more to come. Following sold-out runs across Asia in 2023 and 2024, Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Total Concentration Exhibition will make its debut in Singapore, inviting fans to relive iconic scenes through life-sized sets, dynamic visuals, and multi-sensory experiences.

Organised by FriedRice Experience, in collaboration with ACO Media, Muse Communication, and Mediasphere Communications, the showcase is set to take over the former Singapore Sports Hub Library from 24 January to 15 March 2026, marking its only Southeast Asian stop for the year. It spans 21,000 square feet across two floors, comprising seven experiences that feature major locations and elements of the series, including the Demon Slayer Headquarters, House of Demons, and the various Breathing Style techniques.

Here’s what to expect from each zone:

  • Mount Fujikasane: The mountain designated by the Demon Slayer Corps for the Final Selection. A dreamlike space surrounded by eternally blooming wisteria trees.
  • Demon Slayer Headquarters: Displays key items related to the organisation, including an organisational chart, character profiles, Nichirin Swords, and a curated collection of memorable quotes and iconic depictions of the Demon Slayers.
  • House of Demons: Showcases illustrations of demons from the series, while partially recreating Kibutsuji Muzan’s Infinity Castle. At regular intervals, a special mechanism activates to immerse visitors in the terrifying presence of demons.
  • Battle of Mount Natagumo: Highlights Breathing Styles with original illustrations of Demon Slayers using their breathing techniques, a photo spot recreating the effects of Water Breathing, and other exhibits related to breathing styles.
  • Mugen Train: Life-sized reproductions of the carriages from 2020’s Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – The Movie: Mugen Train.
  • Kimetsu Academy: The official spin-off, created by artist Koyoharu Gotoge, portrays life in a modern world where the Demon Slayer Corps and demons coexist. It offers a glimpse of the Demon Slayer Corps living a peaceful life, a stark contrast to their daily life-or-death missions.
  • Infiltrating the Entertainment District: Features numerous contraptions, such as peek-through holes in the fusuma (traditional Japanese sliding partitions) and the Muscle Mice, visible when peering through small openings.

After the 45-minute journey, a 1,000-square-foot merchandise store awaits, offering a selection of collectables and apparel. Specifically for this stop, animation studio ufotable has created designs exclusive only to Singapore, featuring chibi characters at iconic local landmarks.

Tickets for the Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Total Concentration Exhibition will be available for purchase online in three phases, via Pelago and Klook. The first runs from 26 November to 10 December (or when allocations sell out, whichever is earlier), with a 20 per cent discount on all tickets: S$19.20 and $22.40 for adults on weekdays and weekends, respectively – versus the standard of S$24 and S$28 – and S$15.20 and S$18.40 for concession prices (children between two to 12 years old, and seniors aged 60 and above), compared to S$19 and S$23.

Amazon Singapore is transforming the traditional shopping experience in time for Black Friday, as the e-commerce giant is turning the Suntec City Atrium into an interactive gift discovery space on 22 and 23 November 2025.

Promising to combine deal-hunting and entertainment, the Holiday Giftorium will kick off the shopping journey with a personality quiz to determine a shopper’s unique gift shopping persona, placing them into different categories such as a “heart-led Mood Gifter” or a “one-click Convenience Champion” to streamline their experience and make it easier for them to decide on the perfect gift for their loved ones.

Shoppers will then enter the main Giftorium via a giant slide into a ball pit, where they can then embark on an exciting treasure hunt through various themed rooms featuring a curated selection of potential gifts. Each space will also offer ample opportunities for social-media-worthy moments, alongside the ability to go hands-on with the latest gadgets, try on trending beauty products, or pick out the latest toys and gizmos, with shoppers selecting anything they fancy via the Amazon app on their mobile devices.

Goodie bags and plushies will be given out on a first-come, first-served basis, with limited stocks available.

Apart from the weekend festivities, Amazon Singapore has also launched its 12-day Black Friday sale from 20 November to 1 December 2025, offering the perfect opportunity for savings across all categories, from electronics to toys and home appliances, featuring deals of up to 40% off from brands like LEGO, Hasbro, Dyson, SharkNinja, Sennheiser.

‘Varsapura’ RPG From ‘Genshin Impact’ Developer HoYoverse Is Set In Singapore https://geekculture.co/varsapura-rpg-from-genshin-impact-developer-hoyoverse-is-set-in-singapore/ Fri, 21 Nov 2025 09:13:14 +0000 https://geekculture.co/?p=327434 varsapura

Majulah Varsapura!

The post ‘Varsapura’ RPG From ‘Genshin Impact’ Developer HoYoverse Is Set In Singapore appeared first on Geek Culture.

varsapura

HoYoverse, the team behind gacha-based live-service gaming giants Genshin Impact and Zenless Zone Zero, has unveiled its next title, Varsapura, an open-world RPG that’s set in Singapore.

As revealed via a lengthy 31-minute gameplay video, Varsapura is currently in development and will run on Unreal Engine 5, with the studio also recruiting developers for roles at both its Singapore and Shanghai offices.

Running on an Nvidia RTX 4090 pc, the gameplay trailer looks to take place at the start of the game, with the player character, who the game teases will be customisable to “match each viewer’s preferences”, signing up for an organisation known as SEAL (Shadow Emergency Alliance) and facing off against monsters using unique weaponry like an umbrella or literal paper folders. Although plot details remain slim, the game will revolve around a phenomenon known as Mindrot, alongside something called “Cognosea disruption events”.

After the initial indoor section, the trailer cuts to an open-world driving section, which gives an extended look at the game’s Singapore-inspired setting, with locals undoubtedly recognising notable landmarks like street signs bearing the names of Serangoon and Rochor, or in-game representations of the Bras Basah area, Parliament House and the Cathedral of the Good Shepherd.

While still in its very early days, Varsapura looks to be not only one of the studio’s most ambitious RPGs yet, but also the most interesting, with its unique local setting. No info has been revealed on the game’s inevitable gacha monetisation systems either, and since the studio is still in the process of looking for developers to work on the game, it might be a while before more info is revealed on HoYoverse’s next big title.

Ultraman isn’t the only famous hero receiving the spotlight this year, as S.H.Figuarts is also commemorating the 40th anniversary of Dragon Ball with the S.H.Figuarts Son Goku & Dragon – 40th Anniversary Edition, which reproduces the iconic cover illustration of the 1985 Jump Comics issue, Dragon Ball Vol. 01.

Next up is the HB0103 HEATFIG Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Leonardo, which marks a departure from Heat Boys’ usual mecha style design and instead adopts the look of the classic animated series, recreating the leader of the turtles’ iconic appearance from his signature cape to his various ninja gear.

Take flight with first-generation critters as company.

The post Roost In The Singapore Cable Car With Fan-Favourite Pokémon & Interactive Night Experience appeared first on Geek Culture.

It isn’t the first time Pokémon have soared across the skyline of Singapore, but that doesn’t mean fans should miss out on the fun. After a successful run in 2023, Singapore Cable Car is back with a new Pokémon Day-to-Night Adventure featuring fan-favourites from the first generation, set to run from 22 November to 30 April 2026 across the Mount Faber Line, which spans Mount Faber Peak to Sentosa.

The excitement begins at the entrance, where a cheerful Pikachu and wall decor spotlighting Gengar, Charmander, Eevee, Jigglypuff, and, of course, the beloved yellow mouse, greet visitors. Along the stairway leading to the merchandise store and the station are decals of various critters, followed by photo spots in the open area.

Each of the five featured Pokémon adorns the outside of the cabins, with the theming carrying over into the interiors. When nighttime rolls around, the cable car experience transforms into an interactive affair – guests are invited to shine their complimentary UV torch onto the roof of the cabin, revealing UV-reactive decorative elements and one out of five Pokémon silhouettes: Gyarados, Pidgeot, Charizard, Dragonite, or Aerodactyl. Those who are feeling particularly lucky may want to keep their eyes peeled for Mew, a rare sighting reserved for a few cabins only.

After taking to the skies, a merchandise store awaits at Mount Faber Peak. From usual offerings like plush toys and apparel, including glow-in-the-dark shirts, to customisable charms and trading cards, there will be no shortage of keepsakes to bring home.

The Pokémon Day-to-Night Adventure experience takes place from 22 November to 30 April 2026. Tickets for a round trip on the Singapore Cable Car to Mount Faber Line are available at S$33 for adults and S$22 for children aged four to 12. Alternatively, there’s the Cable Car SkyPass for $45 and S$35, respectively, which gives access to unlimited rides for one day. All tickets can be purchased at the counters or through the official website.

https://www.tiktok.com/@geekculture/video/7574733067810557192?_r=1&_t=ZS-91YQOFYuvZs

From 1 to 31 December, those who participate in the Snap, Tag & Win contest can also stand a chance to win prizes by sharing a daytime photo/video of themselves in the cable car with any Pokémon and a nighttime photo/video with Mew, tagging @MountFaberLeisure, and setting their account to public on Instagram or TikTok. A total of 25 winners will be selected across the period.

Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza might lie in ruins, but the nightmare is far from over.

Former security guard Mike Schmidt (Josh Hutcherson, The Hunger Games) returns to face the deadly animatronics in Five Nights at Freddy’s 2, the thrilling second chapter based on the iconic horror game franchise that’s heading to cinemas on 4 December 2025.

When Abby’s connection with her animatronic friends leads to her sneaking out to find them, Mike must venture back to where it all began, uncovering the true origins of the animatronics and the dark secrets behind the notorious pizzeria.

Joined by returning faces Elizabeth Lail (You), Theodus Crane (The Walking Dead) and Matthew Lillard (Scooby-Doo) as Vanessa Shelly, Jeremiah and William Afton, respectively, the sequel promises to serve up the scares not just within the pizzeria itself, but also ups the stakes for its second run by introducing improved versions of the original animatronics and letting them loose to wreak havoc on the town.

‘KPop Demon Hunters’ Pop-Up Turns Singapore Golden This Dec https://geekculture.co/kpop-demon-hunters-pop-up-turns-singapore-golden-this-dec/ Fri, 14 Nov 2025 11:43:32 +0000 https://geekculture.co/?p=327004

Cracking open the soda pop (up).

The post ‘KPop Demon Hunters’ Pop-Up Turns Singapore Golden This Dec appeared first on Geek Culture.

]]>

The demon-slaying, stage-performing trio of HUNTR/X is in their charting era, and the momentum only continues to go up, up, up. A KPop Demon Hunters pop-up is set to land in Singapore from 22 December 2025 to 11 January 2026, coming as part of a tour that begins in Seoul on 4 December.

KPop Demon Hunters Pop-up Singapore

Singapore is next on the list, followed by Bangkok (24 December to 15 January 2026), Tokyo (26 December to 11 January), and Taipei (3 to 18 January). Event specifics, such as location and ticketing or booking details, have yet to be announced, but the guide for the Seoul stop reveals themed zones featuring both the girl group and the Saja Boys.

Starting with the “How It’s Done” segment, which invites visitors to fight demons alongside Rumi, Mira, and Zoey, the experience leads into a performance of “Soda Pop”, a peek into Rumi’s room, a stroll on the rooftop of the Hanok, and set pieces spotlighting “Your Idol” and, of course, “Golden”, among others. Fans can also look forward to receiving a balloon of Derpy – the adorable supernatural blue tiger from the film – after completing the stamp rally, and customising their bags and keyrings with themed patches at the Wapen Maker area.

It’s unclear whether the Singapore stop of the KPop Demon Hunters pop-up will offer the same features and merchandise, which include mini CD keychains of both group’s soundtracks, plushies of Derpy and Sussie, Jinu’s hat-wearing bird familiar, and fleece jackets for the Seoul leg, as shared by event organiser b.stage.

Since its debut in late August, the animated flick has become a worldwide sensation with over 300 million views on Netflix, making it the streamer’s most-watched show to date. While all of the original soundtracks entered music charts around the world, some naturally ranked higher than others, the phenomenal success of “Golden”, the hit song written by singer-songwriter EJAE (who also provides the singing voice for Rumi), is on a different level – not only did it top the Billboard global charts for numerous weeks, it most recently earned five Grammys nominations, including Song of the Year. A sequel to KPop Demon Hunters is currently in the works, with a release set for 2029.

From aspiring Pokémon Trainers to everyday enthusiasts, ‘tis the season to be jolly.

The post Catch The Holiday Magic & Spread Pokémon Joy At Suntec City Singapore This November appeared first on Geek Culture.

The festive season is all about celebrating with the people who matter, and Suntec City is embracing the spirit of the festive period with an attraction of its own – Pokémon-themed installations, experiences, and activities from now until 28 December at Suntec City Atrium (Tower 1 & 2), to embrace the holiday joy in its own style.

Instead of the usual festive decorations, the vast offerings make it ideal for different visitor types, from longtime franchise fans to those simply looking to soak up the experience, and even visitors in Singapore, to create new memories together with their loved ones. For aspiring Trainers, the Holiday Cabin is a fun, mixed reality interactive experience that invites them to step into the shoes of a true Pokémon Trainer – by pitting them in a thrilling race against time. Groups of 15 players must uncover beloved Pokémon like Pikachu, Snorlax, and Eevee. Suntec+ App members will enjoy the perk of free entry, but non-members don’t need to fret, for registration is quick and comes at no extra cost.

Swinging by the Dance Patio on a weekend opens up the opportunity to catch the trio in the flesh at 5pm, as they rotate through a meet-and-greet lineup that also includes the Generation 9 starters of Sprigatito, Fuecoco, and Quaxly. On 15 and 22 November, and 13 and 20 December at 3pm, high-energy dance performances by Pikachu and friends are set to light up the space, with inflatable installations of Tepig, Chikorita, and Totodile (the starter trio of Pokémon Legends: Z-A, the newest game in the series) situated here on other days for photo-taking moments.

Pokémon encounters are only part of the training life, however. After all, it’s through exploring uncharted territory that new bonds and experiences are forged, with this spirit of discovery translating to the New Trainer Journey initiative, available to Pokémon Trading Card Game (Pokémon TCG) newcomers. Located at the Trading Card Game Zone, it serves as the first step into the world of the highly popular Pokémon TCG, where beginners are assigned a same-day slot for their training session after registering for and collecting their physical tickets. A fair word of warning – slots will be limited daily from 22 November, so be sure to act fast!

Upon completing the 30-minute playthrough, each participant will receive a starter kit comprising a deck case, a deck shield, a demo deck of 30 cards, a playmat flyer, and a voucher. As for seasoned players, get ready to face the heat as the space transforms into a gathering ground for casual battles, so remember to bring along your strongest deck, or put the other ones to the test.

Marking a departure from turn-based tradition, Pokémon Legends: Z-A features full real-time combat that fans can get a taste of in a trial experience on the Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2. These tryouts, open to all visitors, follow the same dates as the Trading Card Game Zone, serving as a two-in-one invitation to participate in some hands-on fun and embark on a new journey this season.

The thrills don’t stop there, as Pokémon Go players get their blood pumping further by taking on the Gym with their strongest team, or join forces to participate in Raid Battles to gain experience points (XP). Rewards aren’t just reserved for the battle-hungry, though – those who stop by Event PokéStops scattered around Suntec City or complete Timed Research tasks will walk away with rewards ranging from more XP to higher chance encounters with the starter trio of Pokémon Legends: Z-A.

Back at the Atrium, daily fun puzzles based on “Who’s That Pokémon?” will also be unveiled on the three-metre Advent Christmas Tree from now to 25 December, inviting visitors to put their knowledge to the test and stand a chance to win a Pokémon Trading Card Game Fun Pack and S$30 Suntec City e-Voucher. Longtime fans, it’s time for you to shine!

Don’t forget to visit the retail pop-up to grab some Pokémon keepsakes and take home a part of the experience, with the selection ranging from trading cards to collectibles and more.

Before heading off, snap a photo or two at the other themed installations around Suntec City, including a six-metre Pikachu inflatable at the entrance of Esplanade MRT, a 12-metre Christmas tree and snowfall show at Suntec Plaza, and Pokémon-themed photo zones featuring festive AR filters on the first and second floors of the mall.

And just like how the holiday joy is spread throughout the mall, there will be no shortage of festive shopping excitement. Whether it’s for yourself or others, spending is its own reward, with different tiers offering delightful redemptions that include a Holiday Edition Pokémon Gift Bag Set and Holiday Edition Pokémon Rug, Suntec City e-Vouchers, and more, as detailed below (limited to one single same-day receipt):

  • Minimum spending of S$60
    • Holiday Edition Pokémon Gift Bag Set (2-pc)
    • S$3 Carpark Dollars
    • Retailer’s e-Voucher
  • Minimum spending of S$120
    • Additional S$5 Suntec City e-Voucher
    • Additional HSBC Cards Exclusive: S$10 Suntec City e-Voucher
  • Minimum spending of S$180
    • Additional Holiday Edition Pokémon Rug (available from 1 December)
  • Accumulated S$1,000 spend from now to 30 November
    • Additional S$80 Suntec City e-Voucher+

With a variety of digital-led and physical experiences, installations, and charming merchandise in store, Suntec City looks set to make this a special November and December to remember. The Pokémon cheer will make franchise veterans and casual enthusiasts feel right at home, but everyone else can take comfort in a sense of warmth and joy, as new memories are forged with their loved ones. Be sure to check out Suntec City’s Catch the Holiday Magic website for the full lowdown on all the fun-filled activities and special rewards from now till 28 December!

At the helm is conductor Thanapol Setabrahmana, who some may recognise from the Stardew Valley and Genshin Impact orchestra performances in recent years.

Early bird tickets are available for purchase starting 13 November, 10am, and end on 15 December, 11.59pm. Public sales begin on 15 December, 12am, and prices range from S$68 to S$168 as follows:

Together, these unlikely heroes must fight against all odds to save both their worlds.”

The franchise is based on the novel by author Cressida Cowell, and has earned a combined haul of over US$2.2 billion across three animated films and the 2025 live-action adaptation, starring Mason Thames (The Black Phone) and Nico Parker (The Last of UsDumbo) as Hiccup and Astrid.

As one of developer Capcom’s most established video game franchises, Monster Hunter has become a cultural phenomenon across the globe, well-loved by fans for its addictive gameplay loop of battling giant beasts and using their hides and other materials to craft increasingly powerful equipment. The game’s first entry debuted in 2004 on the PlayStation 2, with the series growing to receive six mainline titles and 16 spin-offs.

The game’s latest entry, Monster Hunter Wilds, released in February this year and brought the franchise to the modern console era, introducing different regions to hunt in that featured varying weather patterns to shake up gameplay. The franchise is also set to receive its spin-off threequel, Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection, in 2026, which adapts the series into a turn-based tactical format where players can befriend and ride companion monsters into battle.

All eyes are on Glen Powell as he faces the odds.

In 1987, action superstar Arnold Schwarzenegger ran for his life as Ben Richards in The Running Man, a dystopian action epic centred on the participants of a deadly high-stakes game show. Almost 40 years on, Glen Powell (Hit Man, Top Gun: Maverick) takes on the iconic role in Paramount Pictures’ latest same-name rendition, and this time, the stakes have never been higher.

running man

Directed by Edgar Wright (Hot Fuzz, Shawn of the Dead), The Running Man marks the second adaptation of the 1982 novel by Stephen King, and features a brand new cast, including Josh Brolin (Weapons), Colman Domingo (Fear the Walking Dead), Emilia Jones (Locke & Key), Michael Cera (Scott Pilgrim vs. the World), and Jayme Lawson (The Batman), with over 150 lucky fans able to witness the high-stakes action unfold during Geek Culture’s premiere screening on 11 November.

Held at Shaw Lido in collaboration with UIP Singapore, fans of the 1987 original and newcomers alike were able to catch the chaos unfold onscreen, joining Powell’s Richards on his harrowing journey as he gets relentlessly hunted down over 133 minutes of thrilling action.

Much like the novel and 1987 film, The Running Man invites viewers on a trip to a near-future society where television is ruled by the titular game show, where contestants must survive 30 days while being hunted by professional assassins in hopes of a life-changing cash reward. Desperate to save his sick daughter, Richards enters the game as a last-ditch effort, but soon finds himself as the unexpected underdog as he faces not just a barrage of killers, but a nation addicted to watching him fail.

The Running Man opens in cinemas in Singapore on 13 November 2025.

Diving into the heart of Singapore’s growing indie game scene.

The post Singapore Indie Game Makers Take Spotlight In SG60 Documentary Series appeared first on Geek Culture.

]]>

Singapore’s indie game developers are receiving the recognition they deserve with Video Game Nation, a new eight-part documentary series celebrating the local gaming scene as part of SG60.

Helmed by local content creation studio No Average Joe (NAJ), the series will explore the stories of the studios and individuals behind the curtain of game development in one of Singapore’s most surprising creative industries, and is produced as part of SGStory’s Our Singapore, Our Stories campaign, which commemorates 60 years of nationhood.

Spread across eight themed episodes, each running from four to eight minutes in a vertical social-media-friendly format, Video Game Nation explores what goes on behind the scenes of local gaming darlings such as Cat Quest (The Gentlebros), Sedap! (Kopiforge) and Let’s Build a Dungeon (Springloaded), with each episode focused on the journey of a different locally-developed title, and covering what makes each tick, from bedroom prototypes to studio launches and everything in between.

Video Game Nation is really a collection of underdog stories,” said NAJ Managing Director Joe Peter. “Singapore-made games often only get noticed when they go global, but there are plenty more that thrive in their own ways. Games born here, shaped by the Singapore experience, built with equal parts creativity, grit, and heart.”

Video Game Nation’s eight episodes will also be categorised into four themes, released progressively over 8 to 9 November, with the full list of episodes and their descriptions listed below:


Heavy Hitters

Incredible Iterations

  • General Interactive: Chinatown Detective Agency
    Inspired by Carmen Sandiego and powered by a love for the Lion City. A remote team builds a cyber-noir detective game with a Singapore soul.
  • AT-AT Games: Ghostlore
    What if Southeast Asian myths met classic action RPGs? What started as a love letter to Diablo became a modern indie hit handcrafted by two developers.

Coding Catharsis

Makan Mania

  • Battlebrew Productions: Cuisineer
    Fight monsters, serve hotpot, and cook up mayhem. A last-roll-of-the-dice roguelite from one of Singapore’s most recognisable indie studios.
  • Kopiforge: Sedap!
    A student project turned full release. First-time developers tackle food and identity, and cook up something truly sedap.

Video Game Nation is now available on TikTok via @sgstory.sg, and on SGStory’s official website, with additional behind-the-scenes clips available on Instagram.

A turnout worthy of an apex predator.

Silent, deadly and armed to the teeth, the Yautja, the iconic extraterrestrial apex hunters from the Predator franchise, have stalked all manner of unlucky victims across six films since 1987. With Predator: Badlands, the tables have turned, with the sequel instead asking the question: What if the hunter became the hunted?

Hosted in partnership with 20th Century Studios Singapore, over 350 fans had the chance to witness the answer to this very question and catch the ultimate hunt unfold during Geek Culture’s premiere screening on 5 November at Shaw Lido’s newly reopened IMAX hall. Even Dek showed up for photo opportunities with the fans, in front of the impressive movie backdrop, complete with foliage.

And even before the eager fans could witness the action unfold on the magnificent new floor-to-ceiling, wall-to-wall IMAX silver screen, complete with the Laser IMAX projection system for maximum image sharpness and colour vibrancy, this anticipation was further fueled by pre-show activities, where five lucky fans walked away with a set of movie premiums, including a Predator: Badlands themed cap, glow-in-the-dark T-shirt and hoodie, a colour-changing notebook and silver vinyl stickers, a perfect prelude to the main event.

What followed was 110 minutes of pure hunter versus hunter action, which left audiences on the edge of their seats and fully rooting for the Predator this time around. Directed by Dan Trachtenberg (Prey, Predator: Killer of Killers), Predator: Badlands follows a runt Dek (Dimitrius Koloamatangi), cast out from his clan, who forms an unlikely alliance with the Weyland-Yutani synthetic Thia (Elle Fanning) as they embark on a perilous journey across the remote planet of Genna in search of the ultimate adversary.

How will the Predator fare in his most dangerous hunt? All will be revealed when Predator: Badlands stalks into theatres on 6 November 2025.
