After going quiet for over two years, the first-person shooter Luna Abyss has returned with a fresh trailer and a 2026 release window for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series S|X. Players take control of a prisoner who gets sent into a crumbling megastructure underneath the mimic moon Luna to grab old tech from a lost colony, with an AI prison guard called Aylin watching every move.
The game mixes fast movement through brutalist alien architecture with bullet hell combat against corrupted enemies and cosmic horrors. The devs say their weapons work for specific situations but also allow for creative play styles. A free demo is sitting on Steam right now for anyone who wants to check it out before launch.
The studio behind Crosswind just pulled a full rebrand to Windrose after ditching the free-to-play MMO concept for a regular buy-to-play survival game, and producer Philip Molodkovets said they wanted to make a solid survival experience instead of botching an MMO. The pirate game takes heavy inspiration from Black Flag with ship combat and boarding mechanics, plus base building and exploration across different biomes, and players can sail solo or team up with friends in co-op.
Combat leans into Souls-lite territory with bosses and varied weapons like melee gear and guns, while the story kicks off with a courier getting backstabbed and dragged into wars between empires and pirate crews. Early access hits PC sometime next year, with...
Red Thread Games just showed off Hello Sunshine at the PC Gaming Show, and the narrative-focused studio is trying something weird with this survival RPG set in a corporate-destroyed desert wasteland. Creative director Ragnar Tørnquist walked through a demo where you play as the last employee of Sunshine Industries while trailing behind a massive walking robot that never stops moving during daylight hours, forcing you to loot and explore under constant time pressure since staying in its shadow keeps you alive.
The robot plants itself every night to recharge, which gives you breathing room to craft gear at rest stations and slowly build a relationship with your metal buddy that supposedly mirrors how parents and kids interact. Co-op mode...
Deep Silver and KING Art Games showed off a new story trailer for Dawn of War IV at the PC Gaming Show, and Black Library writer John French helped craft the 70-plus mission campaign that supports both solo and co-op modes. The RTS drops players onto Kronus, where the Blood Ravens clash with Necrons under Chronomancer Thothmek, Orks led by Warboss Gorgutz, and Technoarcheologist Potentia Delta-9 before the Dark Angels show up to help the Imperium.
The Dark Angels play as a separate Space Marine faction focused on massive all-out warfare, while the Blood Ravens handle smaller stealth operations, and the campaign lets you control Primarch Lion El'Jonson directly during the finale. Four playable factions hit multiplayer modes like 1v1...
Path of Exile 2 drops its third massive update with The Last of the Druids, bringing a shape-shifting hybrid class that switches between human spellcaster mode and three animal forms like bear, wolf, and wyvern. The Druid uses Animal Talismans to determine which beast form you can transform into, and the developers added over 21 new skills plus 30 support gems to make the whole thing work. Bear mode focuses on rage-fueled slams, wolf form leans into cold damage and mobility, and wyvern mixes ranged elemental attacks with corpse-eating mechanics.
The league content sends players back to ancient Vaal civilization to fight Queen Atziri as a new endgame boss after dealing with her architect buddy first. Maps let you craft custom temple...
ZOTAC dropped another ZBOX Magnus mini PC that crams an RTX 5070 Ti and Core Ultra 7 265 into an 8.48-liter case, which sounds massive compared to their 2.65-liter model with the RTX 5060 Ti but still stays way smaller than regular desktop builds. The bigger version uses desktop parts instead of mobile hardware, and it ships as a barebones kit for roughly $2,972 without RAM or storage.
The chassis packs dual M.2 slots with PCIe 5.0 and 4.0 support, plus a SATA bay, and connectivity covers Thunderbolt 4, WiFi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, and two ethernet ports at different speeds. Memory runs through two DDR5 CSODIMM slots, but buyers need to shell out hundreds more for components since RAM and SSD prices have gone completely off the rails lately.
Samsung drops the Galaxy Z TriFold in South Korea, and the leaked Geekbench scores are pretty rough, considering the device costs around $2,447. The triple-folding phone runs on last-gen Snapdragon 8 Elite silicon, and it scored 2,853 single-core plus 8,501 multi-core, which falls about 10 percent and 13 percent behind what the chip should actually pull.
Some Samsung exec claimed they picked the older processor to make a perfect product, but that sounds like corporate nonsense when cost-cutting makes way more sense. The phone packs a 10-inch main display with a 6.5-inch cover screen, 16GB RAM, a 5,600mAh battery, and a 200-megapixel main camera alongside some smaller sensors.
The iPhone Air tanked harder than any recent Apple release after dropping almost 48 percent of its value within ten weeks, and the company apparently stopped making them because nobody wants to buy an ultra-thin phone. Higher storage models got hit worst with the 1TB version bleeding value fastest, while the iPhone 17 Pro lineup held up way better, with the Pro Max 256GB only losing around 26 percent.
The whole iPhone 17 family averaged about 35 percent depreciation, which beats the iPhone 16 and iPhone 14 over the same period but still trails the iPhone 15, which remains the resale king. Anyone stuck with an iPhone Air should probably trade it in before the iPhone 18 drops because the value keeps cratering, and waiting makes the...
Apple quietly yanked the night mode portrait feature from the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max without telling anyone why, and people only figured it out from forum posts complaining about missing camera options. The combo shot that lets users brighten dark portraits with blurred backgrounds has been around since the iPhone 12 Pro launched, but older phones running the latest iOS still have it while the newest flagships have lost it completely.
Apple support pages still claim the feature works on these devices even though it clearly doesn't anymore, and the company hasn't said anything about whether this is a bug or an intentional cut. The night mode portraits always had issues with grainy shots and motion blur, so maybe Apple decided to kill...
