Little did we know that the following champion released in the popular MOBA title would be Ambessa’s daughter, Mel. View the full article
Nintendo may be getting ready to make its Switch 2 console official. According to "industry whispers" collected by Eurogamer, as well as reporting from The Verge's Tom Warren, the Switch 2 could be formally announced sometime this week. Eurogamer suggests the reveal is scheduled for this Thursday, January 16. The reporting also suggests that the reveal will focus mostly on the console's hardware design, with another game-centered announcement coming later. Eurogamer reports that the console itself won't be ready to launch until April; this would be similar to Nintendo's strategy for the original Switch, which was announced in mid-January of 2017 but not actually launched until March. A lot of things about the Switch 2's physical hardware design have been thoroughly leaked at this point, thanks mostly to accessory makers who have been showing off their upcoming cases. Accessory-maker Genki was at CES last week with a 3D-printed replica of the console based on the real thing, suggesting a much larger but still familiar-looking console with a design and button layout similar to the current Switch.

Season one of Marvel Rivals launched on Jan. 10, adding two heroes, Mister Fantastic and Invisible Woman. Their addition only fueled the appetite of the players who are eager to see more of their favorite characters in the game, like Cyclops. It’s hardly surprising to see fans demand the X-Men leader in the ranks of Marvel Rivals heroes. The game currently features only six Mutants—not bad, given there are 35 characters currently available, which will rise to 37 with the release of Human Torch and The Thing. However, there’s plenty of room to introduce more representatives of mutantkind, and if NetEase wanted to do so, Cyclops seems like one of the most sensible options. And it actually could come true, looking at the recent leaks. View the full article

How do you beat a water-cooled gaming PC? With a full immersion PC, of course, where you sink all of your components into a bath of liquid. It's a technique already used for servers, but Thermaltake showed off a couple of full-immersion gaming PC designs at CES 2025, including a mini-ITX model, and we're intrigued. While it may seem like anathema to immerse several grands' worth of electronic components in a case full of liquid, the dielectric coolant used in these systems ensures it won't conduct any electricity, and it also massively reduces temperatures. In fact, Thermaltake says the systems can reduce CPU and GPU temperatures by around 20°C compared to using one of the best AIO cooler designs. Read the rest of the story...

A new world record has been set, pushing the Intel Core i9 14900KF to a record-beating 9.12GHz clock speed, over 4GHz higher than its typical boost clock. If you're an Intel loyalist, this last-gen flagship continues to be one of the best gaming CPUs you can buy, especially with Intel Core Ultra 200 series CPUs, such as the Core Ultra 7 265K, underperforming for gaming on launch.
