It may be awhile before we see another Dishonored game, as developer Arkane Studios has revealed that the series is “resting for now”. The Dishonored franchise is a stealth action-adventure which sees you taking on the role of a supernatural assassin. The most recent addition to the popular series, Death of the Outsider, was released at the end of last year. With the Dishonored series on hiatus, Arkane can focus its efforts on new projects. Although the studio hasn’t specified what it’s working

Ask around, and you’ll be told that the HTC Vive Pro is the most powerful virtual reality (VR) headset you can buy, and that’s still true even with the debut of StarVR One. The newest VR headset from Acer and Starbreeze’s eponymous joint venture is here, but it’s only for businesses. StarVR launched the StarVR One and StarVR One XT today during the Siggraph conference in Vancouver, British Columbia in Canada, but has yet to disclose exactly when the headset will be available nor how much it will

Earlier this year, older Amazon Fire TV models were overtaken by a malicious worm that spread from between devices using the set-top box’s ADB (Android Debug Bridge) connection. Today, Amazon has released a patch that will plug the hole in the vulnerability and stop the infection in its tracks. The software update – version 5.2.6.6 – is now available for Amazon Fire TV, Amazon Fire TV Stick and Amazon Fire TV Edition televisions, and it’ll disable ADB by default.

DARPA is well known for big, expensive and frankly terrifying robots like Big Dog, but for its latest project it’s thinking much smaller. The agency has announced a new program called SHRIMP (SHort-Range Independent Microrobotic Platforms), to create a new generation of micro-robots small enough to fit on a fingertip. An insect-sized robot could scurry through rubble and obstacles unhindered – provided the technology can be made small enough. Building a better bugDARPA is challenging teams of re

Apparently Nvidia revealed a little more than Turing and the first RTX graphics cards as the company dropped several easter eggs pointing to the Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 in a promotional video. Eagle-eyed Reddit users spotted several hints toward an Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 in the ‘Be For The Game’ video Nvidia released during Siggraph. Throughout the short trailer there are subtle usernames and text such as RoyTeX, Not_11, Mac-20, Eight-Tee and so on. While we’re hoping this Nvidia Graphics Devic

The latest expansion for World of Warcraft, Battle for Azeroth, only launched yesterday and already a player has reached the game’s new level cap – and it took them less than five hours. According to Blizzard fansite Icy Veins, Gingi, a member of prestigious World of Warcraft guild Method, climbed 10 levels in just four hours and 17 minutes with his Troll Balance Druid Luigingi. Previously the level cap – the overall maximum strength of a character – was 110. However, the Battle for Azeroth expa

Apple is planning to launch its much-rumored cheaper MacBook in the final quarter of this year, according to the latest from the notebook grapevine. That means we could theoretically see the budget-friendly creation in October, with previous rumors suggesting this will be an affordable MacBook Air, although this latest snippet – which comes from DigiTimes – doesn’t actually clarify exactly what model of MacBook it will be. Sadly, no further details are provided on the notebooks, and as mentioned

There have never been so many choices when it comes to birth control, and now the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved a ‘digital contraceptive’ for the first time. Natural Cycles is a fertility-tracking app for women, which uses algorithms to calculate the days of the month on which the user is most fertile, and therefore should not have unprotected sex should they wish to avoid getting pregnant. Using data like daily body temperature and monthly menstrual cycle tracking, the app

Apple’s next big software update – iOS 12 – is expected to launch in the next month or so, but the latest beta has confirmed one of the most anticipated features won’t be ready to use on day one. Group Facetime, a feature that allows you to video chat with up to 32 people at once, won’t be waiting for you to use at launch and is instead delayed until a future update. That comes direct from the iOS 12 developer beta 7 that was spotted by 9To5Mac . While it doesn’t elaborate on why the feature is

There are rumors circulating that say we’ll see more new handsets from the Moto brand before the year is out, and the latest image leak claims to give us a look at the notch-heavy Motorola P30. Picked up by AndroidPure, the ‘official press renders’ of the unannounced Motorola smartphone bear more than just a passing resemblance to Apple’s iPhone X. It’s not identical to the iPhone X from the front however, with a ‘chin’ bezel at the bottom of the handset revealing that the Motorola P30 may not b

The Huawei Mate 20 or Huawei Mate 20 Pro could be the first truly mainstream phone with an in-screen fingerprint scanner. Posted on Weibo (a Chinese microblogging site) and spotted by digi.tech.qq, it’s not clear whether the images show the standard Mate 20 or the Pro version. This could be the Huawei Mate 20 Pro’s front panel. It’s also apparently got a 24-core Mali-G72 MP24 graphics processing unit (GPU), a second-gen neural processing unit (NPU), faster image processing and an LTE modem capab

With the official launch of Nikon’s new mirrorless camera just over two weeks away the rumors are coming thick and fast, and the latest is that there will actually be two new cameras announced, and they’ll be called the Z6 and Z7. According to NikonRumors.com, the Z6 will be a high-speed, low-light model with a 24MP full-frame sensor, while the Z7 will be a high-resolution model with a 45MP full-frame sensor.

Nvidia’s long-rumored Turing GPU architecture for next-generation graphics cards is finally official, and it’s more than we could have hoped for. Turing incorporates a number of new features and technologies, chief among them are new RT Cores that power real-time ray tracing. That might sound like a made up unit of measuring performance, but Nvidia claims Turing can process real-time ray tracing 25-times faster than the previous Pascal architecture. On top of this specialized ray tracing technol

Samsung’s reputation for creating the world’s greatest OLED smartphone displays is undeniable at this point, but that doesn’t mean the South Korean electronics giant is content to rest on its laurels. According to the world’s foremost authority on display technologies, Samsung’s done it once again, with the upcoming Galaxy Note 9 breaking several records to earn DisplayMate’s highest ever A+ grade.

There’s a good chance the rumored OnePlus 6T will draw inspiration from the newly announced Oppo R17, a smartphone that Oppo officially confirmed earlier today. Of course, given that the OnePlus line has traditionally been very budget-friendly, we could see the OnePlus 6T abandoning the in-glass fingerprint scanner, retaining the back-mounted sensor off the OnePlus 6. It’s there, but not as prominent, and it’s a little more likely that the OnePlus 6T will follow this trend. There’s a lot of reas
