Microsoft Teases Project Helix Development Kits at GDC 2026 With Black and White Photos

Two of the three images shared closely resemble development kits used for older Xbox consoles, specifically the Xbox One and Xbox One X. The third image is less clear, showing only a partial view of what seems to be the letters “XDK” combined with some shapes. Unfortunately, the photos are all in black and white, so we can’t tell what color the hardware is.

Scream 7’s Returning Cameos, Big Kills, & The Future Broken Down in Writer’s SPOILER Interview [Exclusive]

As a horror fan, I’ve been consistently impressed with Guy Busick’s work. He really hit his stride bringing back the classic Scream formula with the fifth and sixth films – even if it meant saying goodbye to some beloved characters. What I appreciated was how he upped the ante with three Ghostfaces causing chaos in those installments. He’s clearly versatile, though, moving from that slasher vibe to the fun, gothic energy of Abigail and even revitalizing the Final Destination series with what’s become its strongest entry. And just when you thought he was done, he returned to Woodsboro for Scream 7, again partnering with James Vanderbilt on the story. This time, we saw Neve Campbell back as Sidney, alongside a compelling new character in her daughter, Tatum, facing off against a particularly brutal Ghostface. It’s clear Busick understands what makes these franchises tick and isn’t afraid to keep things fresh.

One of the Best Xbox Games Released 11 Years Ago (and Everyone Still Wants Another Sequel)

Moon Studios made a big splash with their first game, Ori and the Blind Forest. This lovely and captivating indie game quickly became a favorite, offering a fresh take on the Metroidvania style. Even now, over ten years later, players still rave about its beautiful art, moving story, and precise controls. Both Ori and the Blind Forest and its sequel, Ori and the Will of the Wisps, remain among the best platforming games available – a remarkable achievement given the competition from modern titles like Astro Bot and Hollow Knight: Silksong.

5 Ways Alan Tudyk’s Wash Can Return in a Firefly Reboot (Without Retconning the Sequel Movie)

Wash’s death in the movie Serenity was a huge shock, and fans have always wished he could come back. But just like we can’t change the past and prevent the show’s cancellation, the world of Firefly doesn’t have time travel. This means there’s no way to bring Wash back through alternate timelines or rewriting history. So, the challenge is: can Wash return in a satisfying way that respects what happened in Serenity? And can Disney, who now owns Firefly, find a way to do it without relying on a contrived or unbelievable explanation, like bringing him back from the dead with no real reason?

Invincible Creators Explain Lee Pace’s Perfect Casting as Season 4’s All-Powerful Villain (& The WWE Superstar Who Inspired It) [Exclusive]

I was so fascinated to hear the showrunners talk about how they approached Thragg! They really wanted Lee Pace to embody a quiet, almost serene power – that sense of comfort and control he has is just amazing. They kept referencing Jake ‘The Snake’ Roberts as a huge inspiration, which blew my mind! Apparently, they felt both actors convey power without needing to be loud or overly dramatic – it’s all about that mesmerizing, understated presence. It’s such a cool way to think about the character and how they wanted to portray him.
