FromSoftware prepares to launch Elden Ring Nightreign next week for eager players worldwide. IGN spoke with Game Director Junya Ishizaki about the upcoming multiplayer game before its release.

The director apologized and said developers might add Duo support after the game launches.
The team focused completely on creating balanced gameplay for three players working together. Ishizaki understands that solo players also want to enjoy the experience alone. Developers spent lots of time making sure single players could handle the challenges. Two-player teams...
NVIDIA broke speed records for artificial intelligence processing with their Blackwell computer chips. The company reached 1000 tokens per second using one DGX B200 system containing eight Blackwell processors. Engineers tested the hardware on Meta's massive Llama 4 Maverick model, which has 400 billion parameters. A single Blackwell server can process up to 72000 tokens per second at maximum capacity. Companies measure AI progress through token generation speeds, according to NVIDIA executives.
The chip maker used special software tricks to achieve these breakthrough performance numbers. TensorRT-LLM optimization tools helped boost processing speeds four times faster than before. Speculative decoding became the key technique that made...
Police damaged Masvingo South MP Tanatsiwa Mukomberi's car windscreen during a hotel parking lot confrontation on May 20.

Donald Trump showed Cyril Ramaphosa a fake picture during their White House meeting on Wednesday. The American president claimed the image showed dead white farmers from South Africa.

Humanitarian workers were lifting body bags in the Congolese city of Goma after fighting.
Reuters filmed the scene following deadly battles between government forces and M23 rebels backed by Rwanda. Video journalist Djaffar Al Katanty shot the footage after negotiating access with rebel groups and aid organizations. The American Thinker website published the misleading blog...

Congo senators voted Thursday to remove Joseph Kabila's legal protection from prosecution. The upper house chose 88 votes against 5 to expose the former president to criminal charges.

Current President Felix Tshisekedi claims Kabila works with armed groups against the government.
Kabila ruled Congo from 2001 until 2019, when he left office peacefully. After stepping down, he became a senator for life, which gave him immunity from the courts. Military prosecutors asked senators to remove this special protection against legal action. Army officials...

President Museveni asked local leaders to check if parents can afford school fees. He spoke at Grace Mary Mugasa's Thanksgiving ceremony in Kikuube district on Friday. The president wants to know if families truly lack money or just refuse to pay education costs. Leaders must research their communities and report back about poverty levels. The government may change its free education policy based on these findings.
Many head teachers charge extra fees despite free education programs for primary and secondary schools. Only 52 students finish primary seven out of every 100 who start primary one. Even fewer continue to secondary school after completing primary education. District officials told the president about these problems during...
