  "textContent": "Canadian publisher No Loading Games debuted in 2025 with _Gwent: The Legendary Card Game_, and at Toy Fair NY in February 2026 it highlighted three upcoming releases, all bearing licensed IP, that will expand its catalog.\n\nNon-final graphics and packaging\n\nArnaud Perez's **_PAC-MAN: Craze Maze_** is the most straightforward of these titles, with each player starting with a 3x4 grid of face-down cards, with their personal PAC-MAN occupying one of the center spaces. On a turn, you can flip a face-down card in your grid or replace one card with another, with the goal of creating a point-rich labyrinth that your PAC-MAN can maneuver through easily once someone finishes their grid and ends the round.\n\n_PAC-MAN: Craze Maze_ is for 2-5 players, is due out in June 2026, and will retail for US$15.\n\n• • • • • • • • • • • • • •\n\nMock-up of __Cyberpunk Edgerunners: Hunted__\n\n** _Cyberpunk Edgerunners: Hunted_** is a co-operative game for 1-4 players based on the _Cyberpunk: Edgerunners_ anime series based on the _Cyberpunk 2077_ video game.\n\nNo matter the player count, you'll use all four characters in each game, playing in real-time to explore and expand the board as you work toward completing one mission or another.\n\n_Cyberpunk Edgerunners: Hunted_ is due out in September 2026 and will retail for US$40, with each game taking about 25 minutes.\n\n• • • • • • • • • • • • • •\n\nThe anime series ___Blue Lock_ focuses on the competition to become the top striker in Japan, earning a place on the country's World Cup team — and **_Blue Lock Striker_** is a 2-4 player adaptation of this series that plays in 15 minutes. That's all I can tell you about the game, which is shown in mock-up form here.\n\n• • • • • • • • • • • • • •\n\nView from the back of a construction vehicle transport truck\n\nI recall visiting the Spielwarenmesse toy and game fair in the late 2010s and being dumbfounded by this teenager wearing a ladybug costume that was being licensed by SO MANY COMPANIES. Not being a youngster, the _Miraculous_ cartoon series was a complete mystery to me, but jump ahead ten years, and now Marinette Dupain-Cheng, _Miraculous_ ' lead character, is adorning a several-story building right outside the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center during Toy Fair. I guess that series has made a successful leap to the U.S. — or at least someone hopes it will.\n\n• • • • • • • • • • • • • •\n\nLike what you read?
