Recently, a flurry of leaks revealed that Lenovo had big plans for the handheld gaming market. After only a few days, Lenovo made things official. At IFA Berlin 2023, the company officially launched its first handheld console, the Legion Go.

Legion Go

Handheld consoles, beware. The new Lenovo Legion Go means business. It can sport up to an AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme processor paired with AMD RDNA graphics. It will also come with Windows 11 out of the box. The console can feature up to 16GB LPDDR5X RAM and up to 1TB PCIe Gen4 SSD (expandable up to 2TB via a microSD slot).

The Legion Go’s screen sports a huge 8.8-inch QHD+ display, supporting up to 1600p resolution and up to 144Hz refresh rate. Its 10-point touchscreen also allows for more interactive uses.

As revealed in leaks, the Legion Go will sport removable joysticks, much like the Nintendo Switch. Lenovo calls them the Legion TrueStrike controllers. However, unlike the notorious Switch Joy-Cons, Lenovo assures players that the controllers will have hall effect joysticks, meaning no joystick drift and minimal dead zones.

The console features Coldfront thermal technology, featuring a liquid crystal polymer 79-blade fan, which can keep the console cool during use. A quiet mode keeps the fans at less than 25dB to keep the fans silent.

Finally, the console comes with a 49.2Wh battery, compatible with Super Rapid Charge. Users can charge the console with dual USB-C ports. For other connectivity, it will come with Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.2 support.

Legion Glasses

Pairing with the console, Lenovo has also launched the Lenovo Legion Glasses. The wearables offer users a more private screen to play games and consume content. With micro OLED screens per lens, the wearable can put out images in FHD resolution and at 60Hz refresh rate. Plus, for privacy, only users can see what’s on the screen.

Besides the Legion Go, the Legion Glasses can connect to most devices — Windows, Android, or macOS — with a USB-C port.

Pricing and availability

The Lenovo Legion Go will start selling in October, starting at US$ 699. Meanwhile, the Legion Glasses will also start selling in October, starting at US$ 329.

Assassin's Creed Mirage

Assassin’s Creed Mirage will be launching on June 6, 2024, on the App Store for iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro Max, and iPad Air and iPad Pro with M1 chip or later.

The game first launched on last generation and current generation consoles as well as PC back in October 2023. It will be the first console title of the series for players to enjoy natively on mobile devices.

Assassin’s Creed Mirage will be free to download and play for 90 minutes. The full version supports Universal Purchase and can be unlocked with a single in-app purchase, so players can enjoy the game on both iPhone and iPad. Pre-orders are now available here.

Assassin’s Creed Mirage

Assassin’s Creed Mirage spins a tale centered around an already established character, rather than a blank slate like Valhalla’s Eivor. It follows Basim Ibn Ishaq, a character introduced in Valhalla. Taking place before the events of the previous game, Mirage has the assassin root out the Order in 9th-century Baghdad, a setting familiar to those who played the original title in 2007.
