Marvel’s Wolverine PS5: Release Date, Story, Trailers and Latest News

0

Marvel’s Wolverine for the PlayStation 5 is just what the doctor ordered, serving up a brutal, bloody and unapologetically violent take on the clawed Marvel anti-hero we had always been waiting for. Over the years, there haven’t been nearly enough good Wolverine games and the last one that (somewhat) came close was Raven Software’s X-Men Origins: Wolverine all the way back in 2009. Now, Insomniac Games, the studio behind the acclaimed Spider-Man games on the PlayStation, is leading the charge, bringing its knack for rich, character-driven storytelling into Logan’s world. And from the little we’ve seen so far, Marvel’s Wolverine looks drenched in gory combat, barbed one-liners, and the kind of raw, violent energy that feels unmistakably Wolverine. So, when does Marvel’s Wolverine come out, and what’s the story going to be about? Here’s everything we know so far about the upcoming PlayStation 5 exclusive.

Marvel’s Wolverine PS5: Release Date and Platforms

As of writing, Insomniac Games hasn’t announced an exact release date for Marvel’s Wolverine, but the studio did share a release window for the game. During September’s PlayStation State of Play this year, the devs confirmed that Marvel’s Wolverine will be clawing its way onto the PlayStation 5 in Fall 2026, likely sometime around mid-October, if the studio’s past releases are anything to go by. As for the platforms the game will be releasing on, it should come as no surprise that Marvel’s Wolverine will launch exclusively on PS5 and PS5 Pro, given that Insomniac is a Sony-owned studio. Still, with Sony steadily bringing its exclusives to PC, Marvel’s Wolverine could eventually get the same treatment, though probably not before 2028.

Marvel’s Wolverine PS5: Story and Trailers

We currently don’t have an official synopsis for Marvel’s Wolverine, which isn’t surprising given that the game is still more than half a year out. But between the two trailers and leaked internal details from the ransomware leaks, there’s enough to start piecing things together. Sony has hinted at what might be in store via its PlayStation blog, saying, “In this global thriller, Wolverine’s search for answers will send him on perilous excursions to exotic locales, including the island nation of Madripoor, the frosted wilderness of Canada, and the narrow city streets of Tokyo – all potential battlegrounds for fierce, bloody, destructive action.”

The first reveal trailer gave us a gritty, no-nonsense first look at Logan as well as the overall world and vibe of the game. We only see Logan from behind, who’s wearing a plaid shirt and a cowboy hat, peacefully nursing a drink after clearing out a room full of goons, at the Princess Bar in Madripoor. The under-a-minute trailer ends with one of the remaining goons sneaking up on Logan from behind with his knife, compelling our man to unleash his claws. For eagle-eyed fans, there’s also a neat little Easter egg tucked in. The bar where Logan is sitting features a license plate that reads “HLK 181,” a nod to The Incredible Hulk #181, Wolverine’s first comic appearance. Is a Hulk cameo incoming in some form? One can only hope.

More recently, the developers dropped a second trailer with the description, “Become a living weapon. As he searches for answers about his past, Wolverine will do whatever it takes – unleashing brutal claw combat, violent rage, and relentless determination – to cut through the mystery of the man he used to be.” The gameplay trailer makes it clear that Insomniac is going all in on a more violent, bloodier, and maturer story that’s far removed from anything we’ve seen from the Spider-Man developer before. We see Logan ripping and stabbing enemies straight through the head, riding a motorcycle off a cliff, facing down a Sentinel, and, best of all, donning the classic yellow-and-black suit from his earliest comic book days. The trailer even teases appearances from Omega Red and Mystique, which we think might just be the tip of the iceberg. 

While nothing has been confirmed surrounding the game’s cast or potential cameos, the ransomware leaks that surfaced late last year do offer some interesting details. Per the leaks, Jean Grey and Mister Sinister are set to appear in Marvel’s Wolverine, with Krizia Bajos and Troy Baker voicing the two, respectively. Since the studio acknowledged the leak and several images match what we’ve seen so far, it wouldn’t be shocking if these rumours turn out to be accurate. That said, take all of this with a grain of salt, as nothing has been officially announced just yet.

Marvel’s Wolverine PS5: Gameplay Details

Given that we’ve seen very little so far, it’s hard to say how Marvel’s Wolverine will play. However, Insomniac has shared the kind of tone and gameplay it’s aiming for and how it intends to bring that to life. Per a PlayStation Blog post, “Marvel’s Wolverine is a standalone game being directed by Brian Horton (creative director) and Cameron Christian (game director), who recently led the creative efforts on Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales, a game we’re extremely proud of at Insomniac.”  The blog further went on to add, “In the vein of our Spider-Man games, our goal here is to not only respect the DNA of what makes the character so popular, but also look for opportunities to make it feel fresh and truly reflect the Insomniac spirit. Even though Marvel’s Wolverine is very early in development, from what I’ve seen of its emotional narrative and cutting-edge gameplay (see what I did there?), the team is already creating something truly special.”

Much like Insomniac’s Spider-Man titles, Marvel’s Wolverine also won’t tie into the MCU or the older Fox X-Men films. And for anyone hoping Hugh Jackman might return, you’re out of luck, as Logan will instead be voiced and portrayed by Australian actor Liam McIntyre. PlayStation is billing the project as “the ultimate Wolverine fantasy built on Insomniac staples like fast, fluid, and ferocious combat, action-packed set pieces, and a darker, more brutal tone than our previous games,” with Wolverine using his adamantium claws and berserker rage to rip through enemies. In the studio’s own words, “We’re breaking new ground with Wolverine, yes, but our penchant for telling stories about heroes overcoming colossal odds is as strong as ever. We’re eager to explore Logan’s story with you and tap into his signature spin on heroism, which is much darker and more brutal than you might expect from Insomniac.”

Beyond the trailers and plot elements, Insomniac has also revealed a few technical updates about how Marvel’s Wolverine will take advantage of the PS5 Pro’s additional horsepower. Mike Fitzgerald, Core Technology Director at Insomniac Games, revealed via the PlayStation Blog that they are updating several of their games to take advantage of the PS5 Pro, saying, “We’re excited to spend even more time finding new ways we can leverage PS5 Pro on both these existing titles [Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered, Miles Morales, Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, and Marvel’ss Spider-Man 2] and future games like Marvel’s Wolverine.”

7 Albums Out Today to Listen To: FKA twigs, Austra, runo plum, and More

In this segment, we showcase the most notable albums out each week. Here are the albums out on November 14, 2025:


FKA twigs, EUSEXUA Afterglow

Eusexua Afterglow coverThe title of FKA twigs’ new album suggests a comedown after the euphoric highs of January’s EUSEXUA. But its 11 tracks are often too hard-hitting and varied to register as an afterthought. “I am full and abundant and ready to give birth,” FKA twigs wrote upon announcing the record last month. “Her name is Afterglow, and my labor shall commence next month.” It was previewed by the songs ‘Cheap Hotel’ and ‘Predictable Girl’, and PinkPantheress features on the highlight ‘Wild and Alone’.


Austra, Chin Up Buttercup

Austra Cover

Austra draws from Eurodance, Greek mythology, and the five stages of grief on her cathartic new album, Chin Up Buttercup. The follow-up to 2020’s HiRuDin explores a breakup Katie Stelmanis experienced right before the pandemic hit, which destabilized her life as she had to move back to Canada alone from London. “My self-esteem hit an all-time low, and the initial shock eventually shifted into a sustained depression,” she explained. “I stopped playing music for over a year and instead turned to rage-writing every time I felt sad.” She added, “I’ve always been terrible at expressing my feelings. But after the breakup, I had to learn to do it in order to survive. I was surprised to learn that opening up actually made me feel significantly better.”


runo plum, patching

patching Coverruno plum’s debut album, patching, emerged from a five-month burst of songwriting that produced not one but at least two records’ worth of songs. This collection represents the sadness, according to the Minneapolis-based singer-songwriter, while the follow-up concentrates the rage. It was recorded last winter with longtime friend Lutalo, as well as instrumentalist and plum’s girlfriend Noa Francis. “I’ve known Lutalo for 10 years, and we were just hanging out, having the best time, giggling,” plum recalled in our Artist Spotlight interview. “It just was a big hang as much as it was recording and serious work.”


Sword II, Electric Hour

Sword II - Electric Hour artworkSword II – the Atlanta trio of Travis Arnold, Certain Zuko, and Mari González – have unveiled their mesmerizing new album, Electric Hour. They self-produced the LP, which was mastered by Heba Kadry and mixed by Sebastian Kinsler. “The title was inspired by the idea that we are in the era of surveillance technology, but also we imagined ‘electric hour’ as something powerful, a time for creativity, potency and revolution – ‘the time is now’ type situation,” the band explained. “We imagined the ‘hour’ as the time a band gets to be on stage – one hour to make your point to the audience, to make sense of the situation facing humanity. One hour to bring into the physical world the music that resonates with people facing repression, increasing alienation, and violence. Basically, one shot to make the revolution. It’s very daunting because you only get one life, one hour. But our limitation is what shows us what is important, what is worthy of our time in this life.”


Wyldest, The Universe Is Loading

Wyldest - 'The Universe Is Loading' Artwork.Wyldest has followed up 2022’s Feed the Flowers Nightmares with a new album, The Universe Is Loading, via Hand in Hive. As the title suggests, Zoë Mead’s love songs unfurl on a cosmic, and at times post-apocalyptic, scale, lending her intimate songwriting a sweeping sci-fi bent. She ultimately lands in a grounded place: “Time is moving on/ Like a stone/ Rolling off/ The edge of the earth/ We vanish into the dust,” she sings on ‘Foxglove Will Grow’. In a press release, Mead explained, “It’s ultimately an intense realisation that life and love doesn’t always go as planned and sometimes we need to take time to make sense and peace within the chaos.”


Home Front, Watch It Die

Home Front Watch It Die CoverGraeme MacKinnon and Clint Frazier have returned with a new Home Front album, Watch It Die. Building on the ferocious synth-punk of their 2023 debut Games of Power, the record is charged with a newfound sense of immediacy and swagger. “For us, ultimately, this is music that comes out of loss and heartbreak and failure, but I hope people have a good time listening to us,” the group shared in press materials. “You can get rowdy, you can get emotional, you can do whatever you want, but maybe with all of that freedom, we all take a second to reflect on all our fallen brothers and sisters and friends who may have slipped away.”


Ragana & Drowse, Ash Souvenir

ash souvenir CoverRagana and Drowse’s fusion of black metal and slowcore yields fascinating results on Ash Souvenir, their new collaborative effort released by the Flenser. Drowse (Kyle Bates) and Ragana (Maria and Noel) crafted the record out of a shared sense of grief and collective memory rooted in the Pacific Northwest. “The reality is that, although we may be able to physically move from a place and ‘move on’ from a person or event, those various aspects of ourselves, and our memories of the events that created them, all make up a greater whole,” Bates reflected in a statement about the early single ‘After Image’. “There is no moving away from the self. We may forget a specific event, but it has still permanently adjusted the shape of our life. In gestalt psychology the ‘parts,’ are defined by the whole, not the other way around: the dark plume of an eruption is made of thousands of fragments of ash, yet we view it as a single giant clouded form.”


Other albums out today:

Navy Blue, The Sword & the Soaring; Jake Xerxes Fussell & James Elkington, Rebuilding; Tony Molina, On This Day; Hélène Barbier, PanoramaThe Mary Onettes, SWORN; Blondshell, Another Picture; Of Mice & Men, Another Miracle; Boldy James & Nicholas Craven, Criminally Attached; Summer Walker, Finally Over It; Bell Witch & Aerial Ruin, Stygian Bough: Vol II; Real Bad Man & TOBi, The Perfect Blue; RZA, Bobby Digital Presents: Juice Crew All Stars; Jim Jarmusch & Anika, Father Mother Sister Brother (Original Music From The Film); Alessandro Rovegno, A Generational Monsoon; Shoko Nagai, Forbidden Flowers; Nightmares On Wax, Echo45 Sound System; Federico Mosconi, Eleven Steps to the Side; Zola Mennenöh, A Labour of Love; Kalia Vandever, Another View; Elayn, Hzzz; Exzald S, Iridesc.

Magdalena Bay Share New Songs ‘This Is The World (I Made It For You)’ and ‘Nice Day’

For the past month, Magdalena Bay have been sharing a pair of songs each Friday. Their fourth and final consecutive double single features the songs ‘This Is The World (I Made It For You)’ and ‘Nice Day’, which teeter on a world of blissful domesticity. “Nice day to tangle with you/ Wanna twist fate?/ And make a knot we can’t undo,” Mica Tenenbaum sings on the latter, which is almost like their version of a Grouper tune. Take a listen below.

“This is the final pair (we made it for you),” the band revealed in a press release. “Thank you for listening to these songs, it’s been a nice day to tangle with you.”

Magdalena Bay’s recent string of singles has been collected in the new project Nice Day: A Collection of Singles. Their most recent album, Imaginal Disk, last year.

Miley Cyrus Shares New Song ‘Dream as One’ for ‘Avatar: Fire and Ash’

Miley Cyrus has shared a new song, ‘Dream as One’, which she recorded for the new movie Avatar: Fire and Ash. She co-wrote and co-produced the track with Andrew Wyatt and Mark Ronson, and features additional contributions from Jonathan Wilson, Simon Franglen, Brandon Bost, and more. Check it out below.

“Honored to support Avatar: Fire and Ash with an original song I’ve written with Mark Ronson and Andrew Wyatt,” Cyrus wrote on social media. “Having been personally affected by fire and being rebuilt from the ashes, this project holds profound meaning for me. Thank you, Jim, for the opportunity to turn that experience into musical medicine. The film’s themes of unity, healing, and love resonate deeply within my soul, and to be even a small star in the universe the Avatar family has created is truly a dream come true.”

Cyrus’ most recent studio album, Something Beautiful, came out in May.

ARC Raiders Kicks Off Post-Launch Roadmap with Patch 1.2.0

0

ARC Raiders has just dropped Patch 1.2.0 for November. This version is called the North Line update. It also marks the official start of the third-person extraction shooter’s post-launch roadmap. Specifically, the patch adds an event, a new map, enemies, weapons, and quests. At the same time, it brings balance changes and bug fixes to enhance performance and improve the gaming experience.

New Community Event and Map in Patch 1.2.0

Based on the official announcement, anyone who has played five rounds can take part in the Breaking New Ground Community Unlock event. In detail, the goal is to help restore the tunnels in Speranza. By donating materials, players will earn merits.

In the same way, the contribution leads to the Stella Montis map. It is a new destination deep in the northern mountains. Unlike other areas, this abandoned facility remains intact.

Both the completion of the event and the unlocking of Stella Montis will open Phase II, “Staking Our Claim.” This is a limited-time progression track. It gives rewards and challenges until December.

Additional Enemies, Weapons, and Quests in Patch 1.2.0

According to Embark Studios, the Raiders who will explore Stella Montis can face new ARC enemies and recover rare resources. Notably, two new foes debut with this update: the Matriarch and the Shredder. Also, players can find gameplay items, such as a new legendary weapon, three new mines, and two grenades.

Similarly, there will be fresh Stella Montis quests. However, the developers have not yet revealed specific details.

Balance Adjustments and Key Fixes in Patch 1.2.0

As per the official patch notes, the game got fixes and improvements. For instance, character movement latency has been cut. The update also corrected problems in achievements, quests, and terrains.

In the same way, there are balance changes that affect crafting, XP rewards, and the like. On top of that, moment-to-moment gameplay is streamlined thanks to audio, animation, and UI improvements.

Availability and What’s Next

Patch 1.2.0 of ARC Raiders is now live for all players on supported platforms.

With the North Line update, the game sets a strong foundation for its roadmap. Much more when the next version, called Cold Snap, drops in December. Embark Studios also said that the following patch will add the Flickering Flames event. Plus, players can expect a new Map Condition and the Expedition Project Raider reset, among many other things.

If plans go well, ARC Raiders will continue its upward momentum since its launch.

Charli XCX Shares New Single ‘Chains of Love’

Just a few days ago, Charli XCX shared the John Cale collaboration ‘House’, the first preview of the music she wrote for Emerald Fennell’s Wuthering Heights. She’s already back with the achingly cinematic, True Romance-coded ballad ‘Chains of Love’, which features in the film’s official trailer. (‘Everything Is Romantic’ soundtracked the teaser.) She recorded the track with longtime collaborator Finn Keane, formerly known as Easyfun, with additional production by Justin Raisen. Will it grant Charli her ‘What Was I Made For?’ moment? Venture for yourself below.

Wuthering Heights hits theaters February 13. The soundtrack album comes out the same day through Atlantic. In a new post on Substack, Charli XCX wrote: “I called Emerald and asked her what she was hoping for from my read of the script. She coyly suggested ‘A song?’ and I suggested ‘An album?’ because why not? I wanted to dive into persona, into a world that felt undeniably raw, wild, sexual, gothic, British, tortured and full of actual real sentences, punctuation and grammar. Without a cigarette or a pair of sunglasses in sight, it was all totally other from the life I was currently living. I was fucking IN.”

Best Tape-In Hair Extensions UK 2025: November’s Top 8 Professional Picks

Tape-in hair extensions are an excellent alternative for you if you are looking for volume and length. These extensions are semi-permanent, relatively low-profile, and fastened neatly and flat to the head. According to many salons, these extensions are ‘invisible’ and quite convenient as they are easy to attach. It is likely that the demand for tape-in extensions increased to 75% around September, which coincides with the back-to-school season, the transition to fall, and the lead-up to the holidays.

Unlike other extension methods, tape-in extensions are smooth as the ‘sandwich’ of tape and wefts is placed at the root. When compared to different extensions, tape-ins require less user input and last longer, with a commitment of 6-8 weeks. Clip-in extensions are also known as ‘temporary’ hair extensions, as they are removed and reinstalled daily, whereas tape-ins can remain in place for weeks at a time. Different fusion methods and microbeads can take longer to apply and be more invasive than tape methods. Tape-ins are not an extreme hassle when it comes to everyday maintenance, but they will still require some care.

Why Choose Tape-Ins in November

November brings a major shift in routines and a new season for a hair makeover. Tape-ins are easier to manage with a longer lifespan because autumn is cosy sweater weather with lower humidity levels. Sweat and sunlight are not a concern for you. It is ideal for carefree wear because the tape adhesive lasts longer throughout the fall. Moreover, by getting tape-ins in the autumn, your hair will be ready and perfect for taking pictures in December during the festive season. With tape-ins, you don’t need to worry about the stress of holiday hair, as they are perfect for any holiday event.

Although Tape-ins are expensive, you get your value back because you can reuse them, and they also last for a long time. By bringing them in November, you can use them for all the key fall events. The time and money are well worth it, but you get a lot of value in the long run.

Top 8 Tape-In Extensions

Here is the criteria that can help to assess tape-in hair extensions, including;

  1. Always consider 100% hair quality Remy human hair with its cuticle intact and its capacity to curl, style, and colour.
  2. Consider ease of application, including the blend of wefts and the ease of installation.
  3. Assess options for length and shade, including a range of colours and lengths, to accommodate various hair types.
  4. Reusability and longevity are worth considering, specifically the number of weeks the installation lasts and whether the wefts can be reused.
  5. Contemplate matching your hair type and the degree to which the extensions fit particular hair textures.

While ranking, the editors and stylists consulted dozens of options and narrowed them based on practical possibilities. Each product is evaluated based on overall quality, colour selection, longevity, adhesive strength, hair origin and quality, weft density, texture and colour match, reuse potential, maintenance needs, ethical sourcing, and overall price-to-value, with UK availability. The final list is ordered by how well the extensions met those criteria. Here are the best tape-in hair extensions UK:

1.   Cliphair Tape-Ins

Cliphair UK is a top brand to consider for tape-in extensions, as it utilises double-sided, medical-grade wefts for a firm grip. You are therefore recommended to wear the item for 6–8 weeks before removing or adjusting it. Cliphair UK is designed to be reused up to three times with proper care and re-taping. Depending on the weight and length of the tape in hair extensions, prices in the UK market range from £120 to £200. You can access colours such as Blacks, browns, blondes, highlights, balayage, and ombres, which are among the more than 20 shade options available. Furthermore, their extensions are made of 100% Remy human hair, where the cuticle is preserved, and your extensions can be coloured, curled, or straightened just like your own hair. Hence, you can choose the right shade more easily with the help of a free virtual colour matching service and free delivery on UK orders over £30

2.   Milk & Blush

Milk & Blush is popular among influencers and a younger audience, especially for fashion colour shifts and “fun” hair trends. The brand offers slim/ultra‐slim tape-ins with 100% Remy hair, promoting an invisible installation method and various trendy tints, including pastel/ombre choices. Prices start from approximately £120 to £180, depending on your preferred length and weight. They are your perfect choice if you are looking for trendy colours and slimmer wefts for a more sensitive installation. The brand has a strong online popularity. However, their tape-inns might not provide as much volume as heavier-weight sets; furthermore, some colours may need more maintenance for vibrant finishes.

3.   Foxy Locks

Foxy Locks is popular among celebrities; and is advertised as ‘Hollywood hair’ in the market. The brand offers tape-in extensions made of 100% Remy human hair, available in lengths up to 26 inches. Foxy Locks extensions are recognised for a full celebrity hue palette and salon-style finish. The prices range from approximately £150 for shorter lengths to more for whole sets/longer lengths. If you are looking for high-quality hair, long length & diverse colour selection, this brand suits you the most as there is a high brand awareness in fashion/beauty circles. However Premium cost may be overkill for someone desiring merely subtle volume or short-term use.

4.   Beauty Works

Among the various tape extensions, Beauty Works is a premium UK brand that offers tape-in hair extensions made from 100% Remy human hair. Their extensions are sourced from a reputable supplier in the UK. The approximate cost ranges from around £115 for a 14-inch length to approximately £520 for full-head sets that are longer and thicker. You can easily achieve excellent hair quality, as it is well-known and available in many salons, in a variety of lengths. The brand is a little more expensive than low-cost brands; to maximise the benefits, you may need a professional fitting. You can obtain premium UK extensions from reputable salons if your budget permits.

5.   Bombay Hair

Bombay Hair is an excellent mid-premium tape-in alternative that strikes a balance between price and quality in the UK. Their extensions are 100% Remy human hair, which are ethically sourced with a large assortment of colours and lengths. Depending on the length and weight, the approximate cost of hair extensions ranges from £104 to £175. You can easily order them online; they offer good value for quality and support a wide range of lengths and weights. However, you cannot benefit from their lighter packs as they may not provide full-head volume for extremely thick hair; therefore, installation is still necessary.

Summary: An excellent mid-premium tape-in alternative that strikes a balance between price and quality in the UK.

6.   Link Hair Extensions

Link Hair Extension is a great option if you are looking for a range of textures and an affordable start into UK tape-ins. The UK retailer’s “Luxe Range” of 100% Remy human tape-ins sets them apart, which includes unique textures, including curled and “Invisible Injection Weft”. The cost varies, with an approximate price of £84.00, depending on your desired length. The brand offers affordable options that can be adapted to suit many hair types, including curly, coarse, and fine. These options are less expensive alternatives; therefore, you may need to match them carefully, as they may have fewer weight options or be less durable.

7. Hickenbick Hair

Hickenbick Hair is perfect for you if you are looking for an invisible-look tape-in with fine and delicate hair. The brand offers professional-level tape-ins for delicate scalps, made entirely of Remy natural hair and featuring incredibly thin wefts of around 1-2 mm in thickness. They are affordable and can be worn for up to 8 weeks. The tape-ins are reusable, of excellent quality, and can be installed unnoticeably. But you may need more product expertise, as premium wefts may be more expensive. Furthermore, their availability may be more limited.

8. Extreme Hair Extensions

Extreme Hair Extensions are well-suited for you if you want salon‑level results and are comfortable and willing to customise. Their prices range from £32 to £100, offering affordability with premium quality. The brand includes an extensive palette of up to 36 shades, the extensions are single-drawn hair for natural tapering, and 100% Indian Remy tape-ins. Multiple shade options are available, which are excellent for custom blends, with a strong emphasis on professional style. Their tape-ins are salon-oriented; therefore, they need a proper consultation before installation.

Application Guide

Always remember that the tape extension application is a task for experts, and therefore, it may frequently result in uneven placement and adhesive failure. If you want a smooth finish, a salon visit will guarantee a precise attachment technique with neat sectioning and strong adhesion. Salon treatments generally cost between £150 and £400, depending on your hair length, the products used, and the stylist’s expertise. In contrast, DIY kits may look cheaper but may result in risk damage and shorter wear. A full-head installation, using approximately 4–7 packs, typically takes 45–90 minutes. For November, book early to secure your autumn style transition, as demand is expected to be strong, with appointments filling up quickly. To ensure a comfortable and long-lasting experience for your new seasonal look, choose stylists who are experienced in the tape system.

Maintenance Calendar

Tape-in extensions require a consistent weekly schedule for proper tape extension maintenance. Primarily to preserve adhesive bonding, you should concentrate on mild cleaning during weeks one and two. Use a shampoo without sulphates and avoid applying oils near the roots. Secondly, to keep tapes dry and clean, deep conditioning is done on mid-lengths and ends in weeks three and four. Steer clear of sleeping with damp hair or wearing tight hairstyles. Finally, do not forget to schedule a professional refit to reset tapes and update your appearance around week 7 or 8. Moreover, users are reported to make common errors, such as using thick serums near the bonding area, neglecting brush maintenance, and prolonging use beyond eight weeks.

Conclusion

To summarise, based on outstanding Remy quality, lifespan, and shade range, Cliphair, Beauty Works, and Foxy Locks are the best tape-in hair extensions in the UK for 2025. Cliphair stands out for beginners as they are simple to use and exclusively supports colour matching. Experts also recommend Beauty Works due to its superior texture and salon-quality durability, making it suitable for extended use. Tape-ins are an excellent option for a smoother and sophisticated autumn transition since they provide a smart, semi-permanent improvement that strikes a balance between value, quality, and easy upkeep.

Photographer Spotlight: Emma Dubrovsky

Based in Montreal, Quebec, Emma Dubrovsky is a freelance photographer with a deep-rooted passion for nature, wildlife, and sports. Inspired by the beauty she encountered in these pursuits, she developed a desire to share her unique perspective with the world. Her journey into photography began in 2014, when she purchased her first camera for a trip to Costa Rica — a pivotal moment that confirmed her commitment to the craft.

In 2018, Emma earned an AEC in Professional Photography from Lasalle College in Montreal. Since then, she has participated in numerous photography workshops across the globe, refining her skills and expanding her portfolio. Known for her curiosity, keen attention to detail, and unwavering drive, Emma strives to capture powerful, evocative moments that resonate deeply with her audience.

Our Culture chatted with Emma about capturing moody landscapes, the importance of respecting wildlife, and the power of photography in conservation. Explore Emma’s work on her website.

Your photography journey began in 2014 with a camera purchase for a Costa Rica trip. What was it about that experience that hooked you on photography?

When I went on that trip I wasn’t setting out to become a photographer — I just wanted to document the experience — but something about that place completely pulled me in. The moodiness of the atmosphere felt like something I could relate to on a deeper level. The mist, the unpredictable light, the way the sky could shift from bright to brooding in an instant — it all mirrored emotions I didn’t always have words for.

The landscape itself was breathtaking. Everything felt alive — the dense greens, the soft rain, the sounds of the forest — it was like being surrounded by something ancient and untamed. It felt peaceful but also full of energy, and I found myself wanting to hold onto that feeling somehow.

That’s what really hooked me. I wanted to share what I was seeing and feeling — the quiet beauty, the sense of escape, the reminder that there’s still so much untouched wonder in the world. Photography became a way to translate that experience into something I could offer others, a small glimpse into that moment of stillness and connection I found there.

Your action portfolio heavily features snowboarding and skiing. What draws you to photographing these particular sports? Is there something about capturing movement on snow that’s especially appealing?

I’ve grown up skiing and snowboarding, so those sports have always been a huge part of my life — not just hobbies, but real passions that shaped who I am. So when I started getting deeper into photography, it just felt natural to merge the two. The idea of being able to combine two of the things I love most — being out in the mountains and creating — was something I couldn’t resist.

There’s something incredibly thrilling about photographing movement on snow. Everything happens so fast — a turn, a jump, a spray of powder — and sometimes it’s over before the eye can even process it. Being able to freeze that split second in time, to catch a moment most people might miss, feels amazing.

I also love the intensity of it. You have to be fully present, constantly anticipating what’s coming next, ready to make quick shifts and decisions within seconds. It’s a mix of adrenaline and focus that’s almost meditative in its own way. Capturing those moments feels like honouring both the sport and the fleeting beauty of movement itself.

Your landscape work often features atmospheric conditions – fog rolling through forests, dramatic mountain light. When you’re photographing these scenes, are you consciously trying to evoke a particular mood, or do you let the environment dictate the emotional tone of the image?

I’ve always found that the most overlooked weather conditions — fog, rain, overcast skies — are often the ones that create the most beautiful, emotional scenes. A lot of people wait for the perfect golden light, but for me, it’s about taking whatever nature gives and running with it. There’s something raw and honest about working with what’s in front of you, and I love how those unpredictable elements can completely transform a landscape.

When I’m out shooting, I don’t always go in with a specific mood in mind. I let the environment lead the way. The atmosphere, the light, even the silence — they all play a part in shaping how I see and feel the moment. My photos tend to reflect my own emotions too; sometimes I go out searching for a certain feeling, and other times it finds me. Even through editing, I’ll lean into the tone that matches what I was feeling — whether it’s calm, nostalgic, or something more intense.

Ultimately, what I’m trying to evoke in my work is a deep sense of realisation and gratitude — that quiet awareness of how powerful and fleeting these moments in nature are. I want people to feel that same mix of awe and presence that I do when I’m standing there, completely immersed in the scene.

There’s striking personality in your wildlife portraits, whether it’s a hummingbird frozen mid-flight or a lion’s captivating gaze. Has photographing animals changed or challenged how you think about humans’ relationship to wildlife?

Photographing animals has absolutely changed the way I see the relationship between humans and wildlife. My goal has always been to strengthen that connection — to help people see animals not as distant or separate from us, but as deeply beautiful, delicate beings that share this planet with us. I want my images to remind people that we are only guests in their home.

Every encounter with wildlife feels grounding in a way that’s hard to describe. Animals, to me, are the truest connection to the earth — they live so honestly within their environments, guided purely by instinct and balance. When you have that split-second moment of eye contact, it’s completely breathtaking. It’s as if time stops, and for that instant, there’s a mutual understanding — no words, no boundaries, just presence.

Through my work, I hope to inspire people to feel more kindness and respect toward animals, and to recognise their beauty as something worth protecting. If my photographs can make someone pause and feel even a little more connected to the natural world, then I feel I’ve done what I set out to do.

I love that you don’t shy away from photographing insects and smaller creatures – your grasshopper portrait is particularly striking, revealing details we’d normally overlook. Does photographing these smaller subjects require a different approach than larger wildlife?

Photographing smaller creatures like insects definitely requires a different kind of awareness. In many ways, it’s similar to photographing larger wildlife — you still need to be patient, still, and deeply respectful of your subject — but the scale of the interaction completely changes the feeling. When photographing a larger animal, you’re often trying not to seem threatening; but with something like a grasshopper, you suddenly become the larger presence, and that shift is humbling.

You have to move slower, breathe quieter, and be incredibly mindful not to disturb them or their surroundings. Even the smallest movement or vibration can change their behaviour or cause them to disappear in an instant. There’s an intimacy in that kind of stillness — a reminder that these tiny beings have entire worlds of their own that we rarely notice.

Capturing them up close feels almost like being let in on a secret. It’s a chance to show people just how much beauty and intricacy exists in the smallest corners of nature — details we might otherwise overlook, but that are every bit as remarkable as the grandest landscapes or the most powerful animals.

I understand you’ve worked with Prints for Wildlife. How do you see photography contributing to conservation efforts?

Yes, I’ve had the opportunity to work with Prints for Wildlife, which has been an incredibly meaningful experience. I truly believe photography can play a powerful role in conservation. Images have this unique ability to make people feel something instantly — to connect them to a story or a cause in a way that words sometimes can’t.

Photography can contribute to wildlife conservation in so many ways — whether it’s spreading awareness, raising money, or inspiring people to take action. A single image can spark curiosity, compassion, or even a sense of responsibility. It can remind people of what’s at stake and why these animals and habitats are worth protecting.

For me, it’s about bridging that gap between people and nature. If someone sees one of my photos and it makes them stop, feel something, or want to learn more — that’s where real change begins. I think conservation starts with awareness, and awareness often begins with an image that stays with you.

Nature and wildlife photography has traditionally been a male-dominated field. What has your experience been as a woman in this field?

It’s true that photography has traditionally been a very male-dominated field, and in many ways, it still is. But I’ve definitely noticed a positive shift in recent years — there’s been a real effort to create more space for women, to involve and employ more female photographers, and to celebrate the different perspectives we bring to the field.

One of the most beautiful things about this change is the sense of community that’s grown from it. There’s a strong bond between women in this space — we understand each other’s experiences, challenges, and passions, and that creates an incredible atmosphere of support. It’s women uplifting women, sharing opportunities, advice, and encouragement instead of competition.

Being part of that shift feels inspiring. It’s empowering to see more women out in the field, telling their stories and shaping the future of photography. I think the more diverse voices we have out there, the richer and more meaningful the storytelling becomes.

Are there any sports or species you’d love to document next?

There are definitely a few dream experiences still on my list. I’ve always wanted to travel to India to photograph the incredible wildlife there — especially tigers in their natural habitats. The diversity and energy of India’s landscapes really fascinates me. Another big one is photographing jaguars in the Pantanal — there’s something so powerful and elusive about them that I’d love to capture. And of course, seeing and photographing gorillas in Rwanda or Uganda would be an unforgettable experience; the emotion and intelligence in their eyes is something I’ve always been drawn to.

Lately, I’ve also been really intrigued by the idea of getting into underwater photography. There’s an entire world beneath the surface that feels both mysterious and peaceful, and I’d love to explore it creatively.

On the sports side, I’ve always thought surfing would be amazing to photograph — the movement, the light, the connection between human and ocean. It combines that same sense of power and serenity that I love capturing in nature.

PONY Announce New Album ‘Clearly Cursed’, Share New Single ‘Middle of Summer’

PONY have announced a new LP, Clearly Cursed, which will be released on February 13 via Take This to Heart Records. The follow-up to 2023’s Velveteen is led by the bouncy, shimmering new single ‘Middle of Summer’, which actually has a heartbreaking backstory. Check it out below.

“’Middle of Summer’ is a song about the worst summer of my life, when my cat Frep passed away,” singer Sam Bielanski said in a statement. “When I first wrote this song on my phone, it was just a little synthy pop song and I didn’t have any intentions of releasing it. I was looking for a way to honour my best friend and heal from the pain of losing him. When we started working on it together Matty added all these beautiful guitar parts and the song became one of my favourites we have ever written together. I realized we needed to put this song on the record. I like the juxtaposition of this song being kind of upbeat and dancy, but it’s about one of the saddest times in my life.”

Following the release of the album, PONY will go on tour with fellow Artist Spotlight alumni Star 99.
