To celebrate, the teams behind @fandom​ and @gaming​ hand-picked their favorite gaming moments of the year so far based on volume of conversation on Tumblr. Check out our picks below:

1. “You’re Breathtaking!” — We couldn’t get enough of Keanu Reeves at E3 and neither could you! Cyberpunk 2077 announced Keanu’s debut as Johnny Silverhand in their upcoming game, due out April 16, 2020. Bonus: check out the #Keanu Reeves tag for some awesome fan art!
   
   
2. Wooloo has been caught! — Sword and Shield wooed its way into Tumblr’s hearts with the introduction of their latest Pokémon, Wooloo. Much fluff. So pure.
   
   
3. Solider 76 says gay rights — The hero was confirmed as the second LGBTQ+ character in the Overwatch universe in the short story, Bastet.
   
   
4. Looking cool, Joker — Earlier this year, Persona 5’s Joker became a playable fighter in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate and ATLUS released the trailer for Persona 5 Royal…all in the same week. Thanks, universe.
   
   
5. Our childhood friends Donald and Goofy are back! — After 13 long years of waiting, fans rejoiced for the release of Kingdom Hearts III. You can expect even more KH content later this winter with the release of its Re:Mind DLC.
