Clash Royale has recently experienced a remarkable resurgence in its player base, which can be attributed to several interlinked factors. Why might it be so popular? OH senior Francisco Jr Elizondo said, “[[Many]] of my friends played it, so i wanted to try, too.”
One of the most influential aspects has been the role of popular content creators on platforms like YouTube and Twitch.
Streamers such as Jinxy, who captivates audiences with his charismatic personality, and Ryley, known for his entertaining commentary, play a significant role in showcasing the game's engaging mechanics.

Tomorrow, the new Resident Evil Requiem will be released after being announced by Capcom July 2024. Directed by Koshi Nakanishi, who previously directed Resident Evil 7: Biohazard, the game was officially unveiled at Summer Game Fest in June 2025.
Resident Evil Requiem is a single-player survival horror game in which the player assumes the role of FBI analyst Grace Ashcroft and DSO agent Leon S. Kennedy, with the game alternating between the two characters throughout the story. Grace's sections are more focused on survival horror with limited resources that require the player to be more cautious in encounters.
Resident Evil Requiem commemorates the series' 30th anniversary. Former OH student Dylan Hospes said, “Resident Evil has come a long way since the days of 10 controls. The evolution of technology has made the game seem more realistic and scary. The series became more action-focused, then returned to its horror roots.”
