As a big fan, I was really excited to hear Lisa Su, the CEO of AMD, talking about the next Xbox! She mentioned to investors that development is going well and they’re still on track for a 2027 launch. This is a big deal because AMD actually makes the chips that power current consoles, so she’s right in the middle of Microsoft’s plans. Microsoft hasn’t officially said anything yet, but hearing it from Su feels like the strongest hint we’ve gotten so far that a new Xbox is definitely coming!

Unlike games like Escape from Tarkov, ARC Raiders handles its server resets in a unique way. Because it’s aimed at a more relaxed player base, the game doesn’t automatically erase everyone’s progress every few weeks or months. Instead, players can choose to participate in an Expedition, which permanently moves their character out of the current game world. To do this, they need to gather materials and build an Expedition Caravan. After the first Expedition last year, the developers listened to player feedback and have made improvements for the next one.
For over a decade, Matthew Mercer has been the Dungeon Master for Critical Role. However, during the show’s fourth campaign, Brennan Lee Mulligan from Dimension 20 took on that role. Mercer doesn’t plan to leave Critical Role anytime soon, but it’s possible he could in the future. While it’s hard to imagine the show without him, Critical Role could continue successfully – and even flourish – with a different Dungeon Master.
The truth behind this terrible event was hidden for a long time, but now we know who was involved and what they were planning. It began with the World Government’s unfair treatment of a nation, but quickly turned into a chaotic battle between the most powerful pirates and Marines.

Dunk avoids immediate harm when his companion, Egg, reveals a surprising truth: Egg is actually Prince Aegon Targaryen. He demands Dunk’s release, and while successful, Dunk is then imprisoned and forced to defend himself in a Trial of Seven. This trial, a rare and exceptionally brutal form of justice in the world of Game of Thrones, is even more dangerous than a standard Trial by Combat.
Amiibo figures first appeared with the Wii U, especially with the game Super Smash Bros. on that console. Players could use them within games to unlock items or just collect them. While some Amiibo figures have become quite valuable—the rarest ones have sold for over $1,000—they remain popular with Nintendo fans. Now, Resident Evil Requiem is getting its own line of Amiibo figures.
