Amazon Is Discounting All Things Pokémon for October Prime Day This Year

Amazon Is Discounting All Things Pokémon for October Prime Day This Year

Amazon's October Prime Day sale is live, and while you could take the opportunity to stock up on genuinely useful things, you could also just treat yourself to something awesome. How should you treat yourself? Well, if you're anything like me, you can't resist lining the pockets of the most lucrative franchise in media history. We've found plenty of Nintendo deals on the gaming side of things, but Pokémon is a lot bigger than that. Whether you got into Pokémon through the video games, show, or TCG, I've tracked down something in Amazon's sale that could spark a little Poké-joy in your life. FWIW: Everything on the list is under $50, and it does actually include some daily essentials. 25+ Pokémon Deals in Amazon's October Prime Day Sale Check out our top 10 highlights from the sale, or scroll on for even more picks. $20 Off Pokémon Legends: Z-A Amazon is discounting plenty of Switch 2 games, but one of the only first-party games getting a price cut is the latest Pokémon release. Pokémon Legends: Z-A is technically a spin-off, but in the words of IGN's 8/10 review , it still offers "a fun setting to explore, a well-written story, and a total battle system overhaul that works surprisingly well." Check out the full list of Switch 2 games on sale The Best LEGO Pokémon Set Drops Under $50 LEGO has released a hefty amount of Pokémon-themed sets since the collaboration debuted in 2025. I’m of the opinion that LEGO Eevee is the clear stand out. Even better? You don’t have to be a Prime member to get the $20 discount. See more Prime Day LEGO deals Meh TCG Deals, But at Least There's Some Restocks It would be a lot to ask for some real TCG deals. It shouldn’t be, but it is. At the very least, Amazon has restocked some of the rarer products and bundles, including the First Partner Illustration Series. Actual Discounts on TCG Accessories: Get Your Own Hardcover Pokedex for Under $40 I have this book myself , and I think the best way to describe it is a personal Pokédex. You get details from the show, games, and TCG about every single Pokémon, all packaged in a gold-lined hardcover with a premium feel. All to say, it has a permanent place on my coffee table. Or a History of the Pokemon TV Show for Under $10 While the Deluxe Character Book goes into detail about every variation of the Pokémon franchise, this book hones in on the TV show. It's also one of the best deals in the entire sale, with a 67% discount bringing it under $10. 15% Off Officially Licensed Pokemon Graphic T-Shirts Prime members looking for a wardrobe upgrade are in for a treat, as Amazon has applied a 15% discount on a ridiculous amount of graphic tees. Scroll through the full list to find options for any style or Pokemon preference. Lowest Price Ever on Adorable Charmander Plush Plushie deals are surprisingly scarce this year, but I'd argue that one very cute smiling Charmander makes up for that. This officially licensed Jazwares plush is currently at its lowest price yet and is one of the best Pokemon plushies on the market. Of Course There's Funko Pop Deals On the less cuddly side of the figure spectrum, it should come as no surprise that Amazon has discounted a heck ton of Funko Pops. If you're Funko-inclined, have at 'em. Pokemon Care About Oral Hygiene, Too I know we’re still a ways out from the holiday season, but I’m of the opinion this toothbrush set would make a great stocking stuffer. If Pikachu won't convince them to brush their teeth, nothing will. Save on Even More Ways to Play Pokemon Sure, Pokémon has seemingly achieved world domination, but that doesn't there aren't still even more ways to experience the beloved IP. While there are tons of genuinely classic board games on sale, Amazon has also discounted various Pokemon-themed activities, including puzzles.

The Witcher Box Set Is At the Lowest Price We've Seen All Year

The Witcher Box Set Is At the Lowest Price We've Seen All Year

Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days sale has arrived, dropping the paperback Witcher box set is down to its lowest price all year. You can grab the five-book collection for $39.99, down from $89.99, saving you 47% off of the sticker price. This collection goes on sale often, but now's a good time to pick it up if you've been wanting to jump into the book saga alongside The Witcher 3 Remastered . The box set includes only the five mainline Witcher books , so you won't get the two short story collections; The Last Wish and Sword of Destiny (which are also currently on sale for Prime Big Deal Days). But as those are supplemental additions, you can still enjoy the main stories without having read them, but we highly recommend doing so. This collection also doesn't include the most recen release, Crossroads of Ravens, the latest book in the series that serves as a prequel. You can still find it on sale at Amazon for $15 (25% off) in paperpack , though. IGN recently had the opportunity to interview Witcher author and creator Andrzej Sapkowski , where we chatted about future adaptations, new books, and where the franchise is headed. Sapkowski's short story collections are good introductions to the world of the Witcher, and the author is considering penning even more short stories, saying "[i]t is not an easy thing to create a good short story. This is much more difficult than writing a novel . . . yes, I am considering writing more short stories". Listen to the Full-Cast Audiobooks With the Audible Sale The Witcher books have been getting the full-cast audiobook treatment this year. Only the prequel, Crossroads of Ravens, has been released so far, but two more audiobooks are set to follow in November 2026. If you'd prefer to try these out rather than reading the paperbacks, there's currently an Audible deal that makes it worth your while. For a limited time, you can get the first three months of Audible Standard for $0.99 per month as well as a free $20 credit. The offer is available for new and returning subscribers, and essentially get you the first three full-cast Witcher audiobooks for only a few dollars. Looking for more book deals ?

The LEGO Icons Project Hail Mary Set Gets Its First Discount During Big Deal Days

The LEGO Icons Project Hail Mary Set Gets Its First Discount During Big Deal Days

Project Hail Mary was one of 2026's biggest movies, and with its March release came an impressively detailed LEGO recreation of the space shuttle seen in the film. If you've been waiting for a price cut to buy this one, Prime Big Deal Days is your chance to snag it at its first-ever discounted price. The set is down to $69.99 from its $99.99 original sticker price. The 830-piece is a super detailed and to-scale recreation of the Project Hail Mary ship we see in the film. The exterior is an efficiently-crafted space shuttle with nice gray and gold accents to help it pop, and it comes with a display stand and Dr. Grace and Rocky minifigures. But the real draw, which makes it one of my favorite builds of the year, is the crank mechanism to extend the centrifuge out of the main ship and spin like it does in space. No batteries or electronics needed, just good old fashioned intuitive LEGO design. I had the opportunity to put the set together for IGN when it released . Be sure to check that out for a full walkthrough of the build, where you can also find the crank mechanism in action. It took me a few hours to put together fully, so it's the perfect build to rewatch the movie or on a rainy day. The brick-built Rocky figure is simple and elegant, and is a fun recreation of his expressiveness from the movie. This is the only LEGO Project Hail Mary set released so far and will likely be the last. LEGO fans were able to build their own Rocky set out of other pieces earlier this year, so you can always go that route if you need more LEGO Project Hail Mary in your life. The Project Hail Mary Deluxe Edition Book Is Also on Sale Today If you haven't yet read Andy Weir's original novel, the Deluxe Edition with beautiful interior art and sprayed edges is still available to preorder before it comes out December 1. You can currently reserve your copy for just $22, 45% off the sticker price of $40. Looking for more LEGO Deals ? Check out our guide to the best LEGO sales for Prime Big Deal Days .

Brandon Sanderson's New Sci-Fi Novel Is Included in Amazon's Latest Book Sale

Brandon Sanderson's New Sci-Fi Novel Is Included in Amazon's Latest Book Sale

Ahead of Prime Big Deal Days, Amazon has brought back its popular "3 for 2" book sale . A notable inclusion for Brandon Sanderson fans is the sci-fi author's latest book, Blightfall, which marks the start of Riftwake — a new series and the first official expansion to the Cytoverse. Blightfall is less than $2 off on its own, so this sale is only really worth it if you can find two more books you'd want to pair with it. I'd recommend checking out Sanderson's Cosmere universe books, which are also included in the promotion as well. Amazon '3 for 2' Sale on Brandon Sanderson Books Brandon Sanderson's Cytoverse is still fairly new. The universe was kicked off by the Skyward series, which focused on building a sci-fi world more grounded in the YA genre . During IGN's interview , Sanderson explained his intention to skew a tad younger with his writing "because the story is about teens who are forced, before their time, into leadership roles on a planet where war has claimed the lives of much of the older population." Although the Skyward series technically "started" the universe, you don't actually need to read it to jump into Blightfall. Similar to the Cosmere books , this series acts as a new entry point rather than a sequel. That being said, I do highly recommend checking out Skyward as it's actually a terrific original sci-fi fantasy story. Plus there's already a TV series in the works for it. Listen on Audible Instead for Cheap If you'd prefer to listen to the Blightfall audiobook instead, there's currently a really good Audible deal going on right now at Amazon. You can get the first few months of the service for $0.99, which includes one audiobook per month. You'll also get a $20 Audible credit you can spend on anything you want Although I haven't listened to Blightfall on audio yet, I do currently have the Skyward series on my list of the best audiobooks . Suzy Jackson is a terrific narrator in that series, and she also worked on Blightfall alongside Eddie Lopez. Looking for more book deals ?

Monster Hunter Wilds: Ascendance Might Be the Endgame I’ve Been Waiting For | IGN Preview

Monster Hunter Wilds: Ascendance Might Be the Endgame I’ve Been Waiting For | IGN Preview

The first taste of Monster Hunter Wilds: Ascendance already has me salivating. The new tricks, new (and returning) monsters, and brand new suite of boosts are going to significantly disrupt how I do my builds, and how I approach hunts. Just thinking about it now has my synapses firing, and there are still so many weapons who're boosted actions I have yet to try, and who knows what new armor set bonuses might be ahead of us. The endgame of Monster Hunter Wilds was too easy, but this might be what Monster Hunter sickos are looking for.

MANHATTAN UNDER SIEGE

MANHATTAN UNDER SIEGE

As Manhattan continues to experience supernatural unexplained incidents, IGN has been sent a video secretly leaked by an anonymous source at the FBC, the Federal Bureau of Control. Kept hidden from the public for decades, the FBC’s main charter is to investigate so-called "paranatural phenomena." Knowledge of their existence only came to light when the formerly secret government department released a public information campaign on how to stay safe from paranatural forces. The subject line of the leaked video’s accompanying email reads: “Ignore the FBC. We are doomed.” Shot on a mobile phone on Thomas Street, the footage appears to show a number of figures levitating and surrounded by a red light emanating from various skyscraper windows. Sources with former ties to the FBC claim these incidents are caused by the Hiss, a hostile paranatural entity that corrupts human minds and represents a significant threat to the entire population of NYC. The video’s authenticity is further supported by witness statements who claim to have seen the phenomenon firsthand. Michael Bamber, 33, a clerical worker with the NYC Port Authority, said: “I was walking to the subway when red started appearing everywhere. But I didn’t just see red, I could hear it, smell it even. It was crazy.” Another witness, Cherry Connor, 27, a deputy administrator for City Hall, said: “I was just leaving work when people started floating up into the air. They kept on making these strange sounds, like they were chanting something. Then the woman right next to me started making them. Her eyes rolled into the back of her head and then she just took off, right off the ground. Then I started running. Everyone around me was screaming. It was horrible.” Sources close to the 911 switchboard reported a massive spike in emergency calls during the phenomenon’s appearance and local hospitals were flooded with people suffering from hysteria and injuries caused by the sudden stampede of onlookers from the area. This event is the latest in a series of paranatural phenomena that has wreaked havoc on Manhattan. However, when asked for comment, the FBC completely denied the appearance of the Hiss and blamed the apparent sighting on a mass hallucination. An FBC press officer said: “Hallucinations are very common and we believe that the recent bout of mass hysteria that New Yorkers have experienced has caused a mass hallucination. The Hiss are not in fact in Manhattan. Remember - no matter what you see, just trust the FBC. Thank you.” In response to the FBC’s comments, Mr Bamber, the eyewitness to the Thomas Street incident, said: “The FBC are talking out of their f**king ass. Mass hallucination?! Bullshit! I saw the whole thing. People need to wake up. This is f**king serious.” If you have witnessed the Hiss or any of the strange phenomena in Manhattan, please contact IGN. We want to hear your story. Nothing stays contained forever. Explore a warped Manhattan on the brink of paranatural annihilation in CONTROL Resonant, a thrilling action-adventure RPG. Unleash the extraordinary powers of Dylan Faden, a former captive of the FBC, as he fights for his humanity and our survival against a reality-bending cosmic threat.

Exclusive Preview: The Upcoming Halo Full-Cast Audiobook Features the Original Voices of Master Chief and Cortana

Exclusive Preview: The Upcoming Halo Full-Cast Audiobook Features the Original Voices of Master Chief and Cortana

Halo: The Fall of Reach was first released back in 2001, launching a couple weeks before the first Halo game came out in November of that year. Serving as the official prequel to the series, Eric Nylund's novel tells the story of how Master Chief came to be and what led to the events of Halo: Combat Evolved . Since the book's original release 25 years ago, it has received several revised versions and editions. And now for the first time ever, it's getting the full-cast audio treatment thanks to Simon & Schuster Audio. You can check out IGN's exclusive audio clip for an idea of what to expect. The full-cast audiobook is set to release on November 10, 2026 to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Halo franchise . The voice cast includes Steve Downes and Jen Taylor reprising their roles as Master Chief and Cortana. It also includes an immersive sound experience that integrates things like the Halo theme song and the ridiculous sounds of Grunts running away terrified. Here's the official story description from the publisher page : "The twenty-sixth century. Humanity has expanded beyond Earth’s system to hundreds of planets that colonists now call home. But the United Earth Government and the United Nations Space Command is struggling to control this vast empire. After exhausting all strategies to keep seething colonial insurrections from exploding into a full-blown interplanetary civil war, the UNSC has one last hope. At the Office of Naval Intelligence, Dr. Catherine Halsey has been hard at work on a top-secret program that could bring an end to the conflict…and it starts with seventy-five children, among them a six-year-old boy named John. And Halsey could never guess that this child will eventually become the final hope against an even greater peril engulfing the galaxy—the inexorable confrontation with a theocratic military alliance of alien races known as the Covenant." Get it for free with an Audible Trial If you're new to audiobooks, there's an Audible free trial worth checking out that can get you access to The Fall of Reach at no cost. Audible launched its new Standard subscription plan earlier this year that gets you your first audiobook for free. Audible has also recently launched a new promotion for the fall that gets you the first four months of the service for only 99 cents per month. Considering this book doesn't come out until November, that's a great option if you want to get access to some of the best audiobooks before this title officially releases.

Brandon Sanderson Says He 'Would Love to' Create Tabletop Adaptations of His Cytoverse Books

Brandon Sanderson Says He 'Would Love to' Create Tabletop Adaptations of His Cytoverse Books

Brandon Sanderson has been heavily invested in making tabletop adaptations of his Cosmere books . Most recently, he's been collaborating with Brotherwise Games on standalone board games as well as a larger Cosmere TTRPG. It's unsurprising, then, that his interest in such adaptations expands beyond his most popular literary universe. IGN recently had the chance to interview Sanderson , and we asked him if he's considered making tabletop adaptations of Skyward and the rest of the Cytoverse. "I would love to! We've talked about it. However, I also want to be aware of asking my fans for too much," Sanderson told IGN. "There are a lot of great books out there, and a lot of great games. I don't want or need it to be all Brandon Sanderson all the time. We try to be very deliberate and careful about these kinds of collaborations, to only be doing what will feel the most exciting to my fans." Sanderson's answer here doesn't rule out the possibility of a Cytoverse tabletop adaptation, but it certainly indicates that it won't be happening any time soon. The release of Blightfall marks the first official book expansion into the Cytoverse, and it was recently revealed that a Skyward TV series is in the works. While Sanderson's YA sci-fi series isn't nearly as popular as The Cosmere, it definitely has potential to grow in the future. If the Skyward TV series is able to find success on streaming , it seems inevitable that some sort of tabletop collab would follow. That being said, we're still looking at a long wait before that TV adaptation actually happens. The Mistborn movie, for example, is looking at a release date of 2031 or later , and that's further along than the Skyward series. Despite no future plans for tabletop adaptations for the Cytoverse, Sanderson still has some exciting upcoming projects in the works with Brotherwise. The Cosmere RPG is officially getting its Mistborn expansion in November , and a massive War for Roshar strategy game is also in the works. If you're a fan of Sanderson's books and tabletop games, there's a lot of great stuff coming your way.
