The Lenovo Legion Glasses 2 was released back in February 2025 at a starting price of $399.99. Today you can get it for way less: Amazon is currently offering a pair for just $249.99 with free shipping. If it sells out there, you can also get it for the same price right now at Lenovo direct. These glasses make for an easily transportable "room-filling" display for your portable gaming handheld or console, perfect for gaming on the road or away from your TV. Nearly 40% Off the Lenovo Legion Glasses 2 The Lenovo Legion Glasses 2 is a lightweight pair of "glasses" that consists of two 1080p 120Hz Micro-OLED displays which together produce a 126" 4K virtual screen about 4 meters away. Similar to a portable USB monitor, you use a single USB-C to transmit video and power to the glasses as long as the device you're using has a USB-C port that supports Power Delivery. That includes the Steam Deck, Legion Go, and and Asus ROG Ally handheld gaming PCs as well as most current generation laptops. Note that because power draw is increased, you'll likely have to plug your laptop or handheld PC into a charger to handle the additional battery drain. The Legion Glasses 2 are very light, weighing in at 65 grams, or just 2 ounces. It's certainly lighter than any VR headset or portable USB monitor, for example. A protective carrying case is included so transporting it safely is a cinch. The built-in speakers also provide serviceable audio, so you don't need to bring additonal headphones if you plan to travel light. You can even make hands-free phone calls with the internal mic if you pair the glasses to your smartphone.

Following widespread fan complaints over copied character designs, the developer of upcoming Steam Pokémon-like Pickmon has said it is now changing the game's name — by one letter — to Pickmos. Pickmon, or rather Pickmos, was unveiled last month to widespread criticism from Pokémon fans, who pointed out the many similarities in its roster of monsters to the likes of Pikachu, Charizard and Lucario. The game's trailer even features a hero who could be mistaken for The Legend of Zelda's Link, who glides off of a mountain top in what could be scene from Breath of the Wild. Response to the trailer was universally negative, with many fans actively calling for Nintendo to lawyer up and sue Pickmos' developer PocketGame (not to be confused with PocketPair, the developer of Palworld, which Nintendo actually is suing). "Dear Players, since the beginning of development, we have been dedicated to building a unique and profound ecological world," PocketGame wrote in a statement posted to social media today. "To better align with our brand identity and lore, our title is officially changing: Pickmon → Pickmos. "What does '-mos' represent? A complete Ecosystem. A grand Cosmos. This name carries a more powerful presence, acting as a better vessel for the fantasy adventure we are building for you. But we cute creatures, are still collectively known as Pickmon! See you in the world of Pickmos!" Other than the title change, nothing else about the game appears to have changed since last month. Indeed, the message was shared alongside another look at the game's concept art, with designs similar to Pokémon still present. Game Renaming Announcement:The Evolution of Pickmos Dear Players, Since the beginning of development, we have been dedicated to building a unique and profound ecological world. To better align with our brand identity and lore, our title is officially changing:… [Hidden Content] — Pickmos / Pickmon / ピックモス (@PickMon_EN) April 10, 2026 Of particular note in that concept art is a creature similar to Mega Meganium, an unofficial monster drawn by a fan in a design which many have said Pickmon has since copied without credit. The official Pickmon social media account has even begun responding to comments about this situation with a boilerplate statement, essentially saying that it believes it is legally fine to do so: "Could you please ask Mr. Fakemon to provide proof of the trademark rights for the designs in question?" the Pickmon account wrote, in message posted to various critical comments. "Our designs are handled by a professional team that manages all trademark filings. Our team has searched the USPTO (United States Patent and Trademark Office) database and found no record of Mr. Fakemon's company holding trademarks for the creatures shown in your images. If there are any legitimate concerns, our legal counsel will coordinate with our Art Director to make the necessary adjustments." Response to today's name change does not seem to have improved fan perception of the game. "Delete the game and never exist again," reads one response on X/Twitter with hundreds of likes. "You stolen many artist's design." "You think we're stupid?" reads another reply. "Everyone knows that you're making nothing more than blatant plagiarized slop with no creativity or identity to stand out. I thought Palworld was bad, you made me change my mind after not only plagiarizing Pokémon, but also fakemon, Zelda, Overwatch, etc." "We have shared the community's feedback with our Art Director for further review," the official account responded.

I've got a lot riding on Fable. I'm far more interested in a fantasy world where your actions impact NPCs' perceptions of you than GTA 6's modern interpretation of a similar core mechanic. Listen, I'd rather brew a poisonous potion for an annoying gnome than brandish a semi-automatic rifle at a police officer - shoot me. With an arcane bolt, obviously. When rumors suggested that Fable may have been internally delayed, I was a bit gutted. But the game's social media accounts seem to be doubling down on its fall release date, and there may be hope yet. Read the rest of the story...

Over the past several days, rumors of Fable being delayed ran rampant all across social media. While it's still possible that the reboot of the classic RPG franchise from the 2000s gets delayed from its current release window, the developers are seemingly confident that no delay will occur. In a response to the delay rumors from the past weekend, the Fable developers took to social media to reaffirm the release window for the upcoming RPG. Responding to a fan on X, the official Fable account simply said: "Excited to welcome you back to Albion in Autumn 2026." [Hidden Content] Autumn 2026 has been the release window for Fable for several months, and it appears that, as of now, it's not changing. There's still a long time between now and September/October 2026, though, so things are still up in the air, especially if certain industry insiders are to be believed. The original delay rumors for Fable came from insider Jeff Grubb, who spoke about the game and other Xbox titles in a recent video. According to Grubb, Fable has been "pushed internally" and might not meet its release window of fall 2026. However, Grubb also said that this doesn't mean Fable wouldn't still be released in 2026, with a launch in November or December still likely. Of course, the elephant in the room of that potential conversation is the release of GTA 6. With Rockstar Games not currently budging from GTA 6's Nov. 19, 2026 release date as of yet, developers of other games are extremely reluctant to launch a new title anywhere near that date. Due to how much pull and influence the GTA franchise has, the new entry is set to dominate the gaming market for the first month or two of its launch. With that in mind, it seemed entirely possible that Fable could eventually get pushed to 2027 if Grubb is correct, assuming GTA 6 doesn't get delayed again. As of right now, however, the Fable developers are standing pat on the current release window of autumn 2026. Fans will feel much better once an actual release date is set, of course, as a release window can be much more easily changed than a concrete date on the calendar. There's no telling exactly when developer Playground Games will announce a release date at this point in time. We could see an Xbox Direct sometime soon, or a date could be revealed at Summer Games Fest later this year in June.
