Pac-Man Monsters

Masters of the Universe director Travis Knight tells Polygon how he designed the coolest sword of 2026 by looking to the past

Monster Hunter Outlanders will take some effort to learn–a lot of things are hidden in really weird spots in menus, and though there are a lot of “how to’s,” there isn’t always a good explanation of the why. But, I find the things I need to put effort into to be the most rewarding, which is absolutely the case with Monster Hunter in general.

2026's Masters of the Universe makes the smart choice to play up the dumb parts of He-Man and not take anything seriously. It’s part Flash Gordon, part Deadpool, and almost officially a parody of itself. These are all good things, by the way.
