Tencent is making an Elden Ring mobile game, according to a new report published today by Reuters. According to anonymous sources, the project started in 2022, shortly after Tencent had purchased a 16% stake in FromSoftware (Sony also invested at the same time to get a 14% stake). A few dozen developers have been working on a prototype, but progress has reportedly been slow. That might be because Tencent would like to make this mobile version of Elden Ring a free-to-play game with in-app purchases, but that's not really a great fit for the premiere Soulslike title. Tencent is chasing […]
Over the weekend, a bombshell set of rumors dropped, that indicated Microsoft is essentially planning to go third party, with games like Starfield, Hi-Fi Rush, and Indiana Jones and the Great Circle potentially going to PlayStation and other platforms. That’s big news, but most of the games mentioned so far have been projects that were acquired by Microsoft after they began development, not traditional core Xbox franchises like Halo or Gears of War. Well, it seems like even those may be about to make the jump. On the most recent episode of Game Mess Mornings, wanton leaker Jeff Grubb had […]
The Exynos 2400 is mass produced on Samsung’s improved 4LPP+ architecture, bringing in significant power-efficiency perks compared to the Korean giant’s earlier smartphone chipsets. Unfortunately, those advantages bring little benefit to the table if Samsung cannot improve its yields for its latest SoC, which, according to the latest rumor, is lower than TSMC’s. Still, it is still a massive improvement compared to what Samsung’s foundry was churning out the past couple of years. Exynos 2400 yields are rumored to be at 60 percent, whereas TSMC’s N4P output is said to be somewhere around 70 percent Between a year and 18 […]
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is the latest Xbox exclusive game rumored to be in development for PlayStation 5, too. It all started earlier this month with Jeff Grubb and other insiders revealing that Hi-Fi Rush and Sea of Thieves would be going multiplatform to PlayStation and possibly Nintendo consoles. The rumor gained strength when texture files showing exclusive t-shirts for Nintendo and PlayStation users were datamined in Hi-Fi Rush. At first, it sounded like Microsoft just wanted to port older and/or less important titles to squeeze some additional revenue from other platforms. However, the floodgates opened a few […]
The A18 has been mentioned in leaked iOS 18 code to be a part of Apple’s upcoming iPhone 16 lineup, and where the A17 Pro was fabricated using TSMC’s first-generation 3nm process, the upcoming SoC is said to take advantage of the improved N3E node. With this transition, the A18 becomes the third smartphone chipset alongside the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 and Dimensity 9400 to use the second-generation 3nm lithography, but one report also dives into the other upgrades arriving to the iPhone 16 family, which should help rack up sales for the company in regions where it is struggling.
