Samsung is gearing up to slap satellite connectivity onto the Galaxy S26 Ultra for the Chinese market after getting hammered by local competition for years. The leaked certification confirms emergency satellite features plus 60-watt wired charging, while previous filings suggest a 5,000mAh battery instead of the rumored 5,200mAh pack.
Wireless charging is finally catching up to Apple, with the Ultra hitting 25 watts and the base S26 models supporting 20 watts. The phone will pack a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip, a 6.9-inch display with rounded edges, and a camera setup that leans on a 200MP main sensor with multiple telephoto and ultrawide lenses. The selfie camera hole is expanding by 4mm for a better field of view, but the aesthetics...
Team NINJA and KOEI TECMO confirmed that a fresh Nioh 3 demo drops for PlayStation 5 and PC, letting people grind solo or team up online with three others. The previous trial version was locked to PS5 only, but cross-play remains unavailable for multiplayer sessions even when the full game ships. Progress from the demo transfers over to the final release.
Pre-orders are live with the standard version hitting $79.99 while the Digital Deluxe package costs $119.99 and bundles in a season pass, plus bonus weapons and accessories. Physical collectors can snag a Treasure Box edition through the NIS America Store that packs an artbook, soundtrack, and desk pad alongside the base game. Early buyers score armor sets from William and Hide that...
Neon Giant dropped a reveal for NO LAW at The Game Awards, and the Swedish studio behind The Ascent is shifting from isometric twin-stick action to a first-person open-world RPG that looks heavily inspired by Cyberpunk 2077. Players control Grey Harker, an ex-soldier dragged back into violence after retiring to grow plants in Port Desire, a lawless coastal city built into cliffs above the ocean. Krafton is publishing the title for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series consoles.
The game runs on Unreal Engine 5 and promises branching choices where decisions actually matter, whether sneaking through shadows or blowing everything up. Every playthrough supposedly shifts allies and outcomes based on player actions. Recommended specs call for...
Capcom finally threw Mega Man fans a bone after leaving the Blue Bomber on ice since 2018. The publisher dropped a teaser for Mega Man: Dual Override at The Game Awards, and the footage shows classic 2D platforming wrapped in cell-shaded graphics. The trailer hints at some kind of transformation mechanic where standard Mega Man shifts into a beefed-up form, which probably explains the Dual Override title. A mysterious whistle at the end has people speculating about potential surprises.
The game hits every platform imaginable in 2027, from PC and current-gen consoles to Switch 2. Capcom is running a contest where fans can design one of the Robot Masters that will actually appear in the finished product. They slashed Mega Man 11 to under...
Fuse Games just announced Star Wars: Galactic Racer at The Game Awards, and the studio is packed with ex-Criterion devs who built Need for Speed and Burnout. The racing title drops on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S next year under Secret Mode's publishing wing, mixing pods with classic speeders instead of going full podracing mode.
This marks the sixth known Star Wars project in active development alongside Eclipse, KOTOR Remake, Fate of the Old Republic, Zero Company, and the third Jedi installment. Fuse wants each race to feel different with procedural elements that shake up every run. Players start as nobodies in the Outer Rim before climbing ranks in the Galactic League by customizing rides and building a reputation across the galaxy.
The Game Awards dropped a surprise trailer for Highguard, a PvP raid shooter from Wildlight Entertainment, which was founded by former Respawn devs who worked on Titanfall and Apex Legends. The game lets players fight on horseback while battling rival crews for control of territory, and it hits PC, Xbox Series X/S, and PS5 as a free-to-play title next January.
Players take on the role of Wardens who compete to grab something called the Shieldbreaker, then raid enemy bases to claim land. The whole thing looks pretty ambitious with a ton of different abilities and mechanics happening at once, but the horseback combat is what seems to be grabbing attention.
Nobody really saw this announcement coming since leaks usually spoil everything...

Zimbabwe's football association says it had to bench Marshall Munetsi for AFCON because his club never signed off on letting him play while injured. The whole thing comes down to FIFA's Club Protection Programme, which basically requires written consent and liability waivers when players with injuries get called up for international matches, and Munetsi's club refused to provide the paperwork.
Zifa confirmed that head coach Marian Marinica kept the vice-captain in the loop during the entire process, and the association made it clear that secretariat officials like Kudzai Chitima don't pick the squad. They're tired of people blaming administrative staff for team selection decisions when those calls fall strictly under the technical...
Cresta Sprayview just finished gutting all 65 rooms at their Victoria Falls property, and managing director Rutendo Badenhorst says the whole thing is about staying competitive while keeping guests happy. The hotel did a full overhaul with new fixtures, open closets, renovated bathrooms, and a complete garden redesign that leans into the greenery across the grounds.
The property started life as Peter's Motel back when the Gardini family ran things, and it eventually became Victoria Falls Hotel before Cresta took over operations. Badenhorst mentioned that tourism growth in Zimbabwe is pushing everyone to level up their infrastructure and service quality, which is why they are already working on upgrading the restaurant, lounge, and bars...
