Samsung confirms the next Unpacked event

Galaxy Z Flip 5 is all but confirmed

Published

on

The middle of the year always heralds the coming of new smartphones. Often the early bird around this time, Samsung is expected to host another major Unpacked event soon. Now, we know when the next event will be. The brand has officially released an invite for the coming Galaxy extravaganza.

As announced by the company, Samsung will hold the next Unpacked on July 26 at 8pm in South Korea. Like always, the event will be streamed live on Samsung’s official channels.

Samsung isn’t being coy about what’s appearing at the event. The invite explicitly reads: “See you on the flipside.” It also has a graphic of an opening foldable from the Galaxy Z Flip series. The brand usually launches the next foldable devices around this time, so it’s no surprise that the Galaxy Z Flip series is getting an upgrade. Still, it’s reassuring to expect what’s coming.

Of note, the graphic does not show what the device’s screen looks like. The upcoming Galaxy Z Flip 5 will reportedly have a larger main screen — hence, the carefully angled graphic. Besides that, there’s not much to tell about the clamshell phone from just the invite itself.

Samsung is also expected to launch the Galaxy Z Fold 5, a new Galaxy Watch, and new Galaxy Tabs to go along with the Galaxy Z Flip 5.

Silksong is getting its first major expansion next year

The expansion is called Sea of Sorrow.

Published

on

I still can’t believe that Hollow Knight: Silksong came out this year. After years of just waiting for the mythical title, it’s surreal to have it in my library. Now, barely waiting to catch their breath, Team Cherry is already working hard towards the next content drop, starting with Silksong DLC.

Just like the original Hollow Knight, Silksong is getting free DLCs to expand its story. The upcoming Sea of Sorrow DLC will be the game’s “first big expansion.”

The expansion’s trailer barely shows anything about the new content, besides vague allusions to what’s coming. At the very least, Team Cherry has confirmed, both via the announcement and the accompanying poster, that Sea of Sorrow will be nautical-themed.

It will feature new locations, new tools, and new enemies. By itself, Silksong is already a huge game. Adding more content then is a massive undertaking. Plus, Team Cherry says that this is just the first expansion, hinting at more coming in the future.

Sea of Sorrow will launch in 2026.

Besides the new expansion, the studio is also working on a Nintendo Switch 2 update for the original Hollow Knight. It will add higher framerates, resolutions, and more graphical effects. PC players will also get some upgrades to support larger screens.

The Switch 2 update, which will be free for those who already own the original game, will also launch next year.

Supergirl gets its first teaser trailer

Milly Alcock stars as the titular character.

Published

Before the new year starts, it’s already fair to assume that Supergirl might be one of the most anticipated movies of 2026. Premiering a year after the globally successful Superman, Supergirl will see the adventures of Clark Kent’s superpowered cousin, Kara Zor-El. Now, the next film in the sage finally has a teaser trailer.

As James Gunn mentioned previously, Supergirl will be based on Tom King’s Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow. Off traveling to other planets to party, Kara finds herself thrust back into the role of being a hero after a young girl named Ruthye Mary Knoll asks her for help.

Though the teaser trailer is mostly a montage of scenes, we already know what we can expect. According to Gunn, Supergirl will be tonally different from Superman, and we see this in the trailer.

However, we can still see influences from Gunn including the usage of “Call Me” by Blondie for the trailer. Also, the film’s space scenes look like they can fit right in with Guardians of the Galaxy.

Still, that’s what we have, and we’re excited. Supergirl will premiere on June 26, 2026.

The film will be directed by Craig Gillespie (Cruella). Milly Alcock plays the titular character. Meanwhile, she will star alongside Eve Ridley as Ruthye Mary Knoll.
