Evening Reading - January 27, 2026

It's nighttime in America, which means it's time for another edition of Evening Reading.

by · Shacknews

Welcome, Shackers, to the end of another Tuesday. It’s a snowpocalypse across most of the USA this week, but crappy roads don’t really keep us from bringing you content, so the show goes on! We hope you’ve enjoyed all the good things we’ve put together, including recent Code Vein 2 reviews and Resident Evil Requiem and Highguard previews. Stick around. There’s plenty more as we break through the first month of 2026 into February. For now, enjoy another freshly baked Evening Reading to close out this day of posting.

In case you missed it at Shacknews…

And now… More stuff from The Internet!!!

The ladies of Capcom putting in the work on our boy

Every wrinkle, every muscle, all approved by the women of Capcom who refuse to let their handsome king go on stage anything short of immaculate. Queens, to be honest.

Hop on Deadlock

Everyone is being very normal about new dream bean character Rem.

A rite of passage. You must learn why to stay away from the mole and monkey.

They put out some new character portraits for when they’re happy, normal, and injured, and some of them are really funny.

Dead by Daylight is turning our Balatro Jokers into nightmare fuel

Get out there, Pit

Palutena, your boy is slacking. Send him to the skies!

It’s been almost 13 years. Please, Nintendo.

A budding bromance

They’ll be true besties for life by the end of the movie… Or one of them will probably be an egg. You can guess which one.

Evo Moment 37 gets that bread literally

If you try to butter this toast, it will parry and stunt on you in front of the whole world and make history.

There you have it. That’s your Evening Reading for January 27, 2026. Thank you for reading and sticking around for the good things we try to bring to you. If you want to support our efforts, you can always lend a hand through Shacknews Mercury, where you can support the site for as little as a dollar a month. If you don’t have a dollar, you don’t need one to check out Shackmaps, which is our interactive map program hosting video game maps and their secrets across a variety of popular games. You can also check out Bubbletron, which is a free game in which you assemble a trillion dollar start up from a number of daily randomized prompts. Can you get the highest valuation and earn the day’s Money Hat?

Classic wrestling matches beamed into my mind sound okay if it's not dangerous. Probably requires some serious testing though.
