Lost Soul Aside needs more time for polishing. Creator Yang Bing pushed the launch from May 30 to August 29. The game started as a solo project in 2014 but grew larger over seven years. The delay might help the game avoid competing with Elden Ring and Nightreign on the same day.
Players will control Kaser, who fights against an Emperor. Strange beings called Voidrax invade their world and take their sister, Louisa's, soul. Kaser teams up with Arena, a dragon creature that changes into weapons. The action feels like Devil May Cry, Ninja Gaiden, and Bayonetta, but adds deep character growth and weapon upgrades.
Sony will release the game for PlayStation 5 and PC simultaneously. The PC version supports NVIDIA DLSS 4 and ray tracing...
Housemarque released a PlayStation 5 Pro patch for Returnal as the game turns four years old. The update makes the game look much better with up to 2.5 times higher resolution than the standard PS5 version. The original game showed at 1080p first, built up to 1440p, and used special tricks to reach 4K output. Players might see true 4K now, but experts need to test it first.
The Unreal Engine 4 game became such a hit that Sony bought the Finnish studio. Despite this success, Housemarque decided against making more Returnal games. Instead, they started work on a new space game called Saros. This fresh title keeps some parts that made Returnal fun, but lets players save more progress after they die.
Housemarque said last month that they...
TSMC started building its third chip plant in Arizona yesterday after receiving permits. The company began work just hours after government approval came through. This comes after TSMC promised $100 billion for US investments, announced earlier with President Trump. The new factory adds to the current $65 billion Arizona campus project.
Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick visited right when construction began. His department said the total $100 billion plan will create 40,000 construction jobs. The project should add more than $200 billion to Arizona's economy. The timing seems linked to reports that TSMC has not sent investment details to Taiwan's government for approval.
The Arizona plants aim to make chips in America instead of...
University of Zurich researchers came under fire for testing AI bots on Reddit users without telling them. The team made bots with fake personas, such as trauma counselors or abuse survivors, to join talks in the Change My View forum. These bots looked at past user comments to craft personal replies that might change minds. This secret test broke Reddit's rules against hidden AI use and raised worries about tricking users.
After the study ended, the school told forum leaders what happened. The bots admitted breaking rules but claimed their work had value for society. The bots pretended to have serious backgrounds, like hospital mistreatment or trauma care skills. Forum leaders slammed the study as wrong and pointed out that other...
TP-Link started selling the Tapo H500 hub for home security cameras. The device costs about $139 and helps people save videos from up to 16 cameras without cloud storage. Users need to add their hard drive since it comes with only 16GB of built-in memory. The hub works with drives up to 16TB, letting users keep large amounts of footage at home instead of paying for online storage.
Right now, the hub works only with TP-Link cameras, but the company plans to add support for other brands this summer. The Tapo H500 connects with Matter-compatible smart home systems, making it easy to use with devices from different makers. Users can link it through Wi-Fi or cable, depending on their setup. The system features a loud 110-decibel alarm for...
On April 30, In Win released its PRISM mid-tower computer case. The new case costs about $150 and features mirror glass panels that change how they look. These panels reflect light when your computer is dark. They become see-through when you turn on the lights inside, showing off your parts. The design takes ideas from the company's earlier Tou case made in 2013.
The case works with many cooling options. Users can put three 120mm or 140mm fans up front, three 120mm fans or two 140mm fans on top, and one 120mm fan at the back. It fits large cooling systems up to 360mm long on the front and side areas. Four VX120 fans come with the case for good airflow right away.
Inside, the PRISM holds two 2.5-inch and two 3.5-inch storage drives. It...
NVIDIA says new laptops with GeForce RTX 5060 Mobile 8 GB graphics cards will arrive in May 2025. Prices start at $1,099 from makers like Acer, Dell, HP, Lenovo, MSI, Razer, ASUS, and GIGABYTE. More details about these computers will come during Computex 2025. Two test models already appeared in the Geekbench Browser last month. The first laptop, called P15 Pro, appeared on April 20 with an Intel Core i9-13900HX chip and scored 109,431 on OpenCL tests.
The second laptop, named iGame M15 Origo, appeared on April 27 with an Intel Core Ultra 9 285HX processor and scored 102,564. Tests show the new RTX 5060 Mobile beats the older RTX 4060 Mobile by 18 percent. The P15 Pro ran at 2025 MHz top speed. The iGame M15 Origo reached 2212 MHz...
Alienware launched new Area 51 laptops with price tags starting at $4,100 for the 16-inch model. The larger 18-inch version costs $4,300. Both machines come with Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX processors, 32GB of fast RAM, and 2TB storage drives.
The 16-inch screen shows sharp 3200x1800 resolution images and all the colors needed for gaming and editing. The screen runs at 240Hz, making games look smooth. The 18-inch model works almost the same but has a faster 300Hz screen.
Both laptops use Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 graphics cards for top game performance. Alienware fixed the cooling systems to keep these machines quiet during heavy use. The company plans to release versions with even stronger RTX 5090 and 5070 Ti graphics cards later.

A judge sent Avondale deputy headmistress Roseline Boroma to prison for two years yesterday. She must serve one year behind bars with another year suspended if she behaves well. The court found her guilty of picking a company for sports equipment without following the rules. Boroma claimed she never chose Frammatic Engineering herself but that others had requested it. Prosecutor Kudakwashe Muza proved this was false.
Government schools like Avondale must follow certain steps when buying things. School departments need to ask for items through proper channels before the headmaster can approve purchases. Last year, the sports leader Shuvai Stella Zhanje told Boroma they needed basketball and netball posts. Boroma hired Frammatic...
