Virtua Fighter: Crossroads is bringing Sega’s classic fighting series back in 2027 with a much broader design than a traditional one on one fighting game.

The sequel was shown during Summer Game Fest 2026, giving fans the first proper trailer after the project was confirmed to be in early development in October 2024. The new game will not continue with the same exact setup as

Summer Game Fest 2026 delivered a packed showcase with major announcements, returning franchises, new projects, expansions, and release updates across PC and consoles. With E3 now gone, Geoff Keighley’s annual event has become the main summer stage for game publishers, and this year’s lineup leaned heavily on recognizable names while still leaving room for fresh ideas. The biggest reveal was Final Fantasy VII Revelation,

Resident Evil Veronica will reportedly stay third person, despite early fan concern caused by its first person reveal trailer. The clarification comes from Capcom insider Dusk Golem, who said the game will not follow a first person only format and will instead play in third person, similar to the Resident Evil 4 remake. The concern started after Capcom showed the Resident Evil Veronica trailer

Final Fantasy VII Revelation is set to give players far more freedom than the previous two Remake trilogy entries, with the Highwind airship becoming available relatively early in the game. That one change will reshape how players explore the world, letting Cloud and the party travel across major regions, revisit earlier locations, and take on side content at their own pace.

EXODUS received its biggest gameplay showcase yet during the Future Game Show 2026, giving a longer look at combat, companions, exploration, and choice driven storytelling. The new preview ran for nearly 20 minutes and made the game’s Mass Effect influence easy to see, which is not surprising given that Archetype Entertainment was founded by former BioWare developers.

G.Skill is using Computex 2026 to show how far DDR5 memory tuning has moved, even as memory prices remain high across the PC market. The company displayed several DDR5 kits with high transfer speeds, low latency profiles, large capacities, and new cooling designs aimed at enthusiasts, overclockers, and next generation desktop platforms. The showcase covered both Intel XMP and AMD EXPO memory profiles. G.Skill

LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight can run much better on PC if you avoid the maxed out Epic preset and tune a few heavy settings manually. The game is visually richer than older LEGO titles, thanks to its open world Gotham City, dense streets, detailed LEGO materials, weather effects, lighting, and Unreal Engine 5 presentation. That visual jump also makes the game

Microsoft is preparing a new Surface RTX Spark Dev Box for developers who want to run AI workloads locally without depending fully on cloud systems. The compact machine is powered by NVIDIA’s RTX Spark platform and is expected to launch later this year in the United States through Microsoft’s official store. The system is designed for developers working with large AI models, local testing,

NAND revenue reached a record $46 billion in the first quarter of 2026 as AI data centers continued to absorb more storage supply. The surge shows how strongly enterprise demand is now shaping the memory market, while the traditional PC industry is facing weaker shipments and higher component prices. According to Counterpoint Research, global NAND revenue increased 3.5 times year over year in Q1

ASRock is using Computex 2026 to celebrate 10 years of its Taichi brand with a broad lineup of new hardware, covering motherboards, gaming displays, liquid coolers, and graphics cards. The company is not limiting the anniversary to one product category. Instead, it is using Taichi as the center of a wider premium push across PC components and displays. The Taichi brand started in 2016

SK Hynix has previewed its upcoming HBM4E memory at Computex 2026, showing how quickly the high bandwidth memory race is moving as AI data centers demand more capacity, more bandwidth, and better efficiency. The new memory design can deliver up to 48GB in a 12 layer stack and push bandwidth as high as 4TB per second. That is a major step forward because HBM

AMD’s new Radeon RX 9070 GRE appears to have had a weak start in Germany, with early retail data suggesting that buyers are not interested in the card at its current price. The GPU launched with a $549 price tag, but listings at major German retailer Mindfactory show several models sitting in stock with little to no movement on day one. The problem is

AMD did not simply pull old Ryzen 7 5800X3D stock from a warehouse to bring the chip back for AM4’s 10th anniversary. The company says it had to re-engineer the processor because the original manufacturing method used for the first 3D V-Cache desktop CPU was no longer available. That makes the return of the Ryzen 7 5800X3D more interesting than a normal product revival.

Gigabyte has introduced new Aorus Elite liquid coolers and a very unusual PC case at Computex 2026, but the case is easily the more eye catching product. The Aorus C510 Glass Stealth Infinity looks like a compact gaming case at first, but it can swap its glass side panel for a 16 inch display that works like a real monitor. That means your PC

Samsung is working on a new thermal design for HBM5 memory, and the early concept shows how important cooling has become in the AI chip race. The company has previewed a technology called Heat Path Block, or HPB, which is designed to help future HBM stacks move heat more efficiently as memory becomes faster, denser, and more power hungry. HBM, short for high bandwidth

China’s memory industry appears to be moving faster than expected in high bandwidth memory, with a new report claiming that CXMT has reached technology parity with Korean manufacturers on HBM3. The development does not mean China has caught Samsung or SK Hynix overall, but it suggests the gap in advanced AI memory is narrowing at a time when demand for HBM is exploding. HBM,
