Believe it or not, Lenovo Legion came prepared for the stay-at-home life. In an effort to keep everyone indoors during these uncertain times, they unveil their new set of gaming laptops for all gamers. These new laptops bring all the latest and powerful gaming hardware, suited for both casual and competitive gamers. And all of these are now under a much simpler name.

Lenovo decided to keep things simpler and easier to remember with their new Legion gaming laptops. Don’t let the simpler name fool you; all these laptops bring a little bit of everything for everyone. Spearheading the new wave of gaming laptops for Lenovo Legion is the Lenovo Legion 7i. This, along with the Lenovo Legion 5i were announced a little earlier than the rest of the current lineup. Since then, Lenovo launched three new models rocking all the latest hardware.

For those who are looking for a more competitive gaming laptop, look no further to the Lenovo Legion 5Pi. This device carries with it the latest 10th-generation Intel Core H-series processors for improved performance across the board. Also, the Lenovo Legion 5Pi comes with up to an NVIDIA RTX 2060 for a more powerful gaming experience. All of these go along with up to 32GB of RAM and 1TB of NVMe SSD storage.

The Lenovo Legion 5Pi also comes with a 15-inch IPS HDR display with 240Hz refresh rate for more seamless gameplay. The display is 100% sRGB color accurate, perfect even for gamers who are also content creators themselves. You can expect to immerse yourself in your gameplay thanks to Dolby Vision and the thinner bezels.

If you’re looking for a more affordable option yet provides massive power, there is the AMD-powered Lenovo Legion 5. Unlike its brother, the Lenovo Legion 5i, this device comes with the new AMD Ryen 7 4000 series mobile processors. Not only will it bring the performance you need, but these chips are designed to aid in prolonging your laptop, as well. Much like the Legion 5i and 5Pi, the Legion 5 also comes with up to an NVIDIA RTX 2060 inside.

Finally, if you’re on a more casual side of gaming but still need powerful hardware to play well, the Lenovo IdeaPad Gaming 3i is definitely for you. Even if it’s not a Legion product, this gaming laptop still packs a punch for any type of gamer out there. With the latest 10th-generation Intel Core H-series processors and up to an NVIDIA GTX 1650Ti inside, expect high-level gaming performance. It also comes with a 120Hz refresh rate display, and in two colors: Chameleon Blue and Onyx Black.

All of these gaming laptops come with Lenovo’s new technologies such as Coldfront 2.0 and TrueStrike keyboards for cooler and more responsive devices. They are expected to be available by June 2020, and pricing for the entire Legion lineup is as follows:

Lenovo Legion 7i – PhP 119,995

Star Wars: Galactic Racer made a fresh appearance at Sony’s State of Play, revealing new gameplay ahead of its 2026 launch.

The new trailer highlights high-speed races across both new and familiar planets from the Star Wars galaxy. It also confirms the return of podracing, the franchise’s most iconic motorsport, alongside a wider range of repulsorcraft built for different racing styles.

Players step into the role of Shade, a lone pilot drawn into the Galactic League. The league operates outside the law in the Outer Rim and is currently controlled by Kestar Bool, a powerful and corrupt figure. With his league on the brink of collapse, organizer Darius Pax turns to Shade to fight back and reclaim control.

The campaign features a branching structure. Choices affect events, alliances, and access to parts, tools, and upgrades. Players can experiment with landspeeders, skim speeders, speeder bikes, and podracers, then fine-tune each vehicle with the help of mechanic Hibi.

Beyond the story, the game offers multiple modes. Online races support up to 12 players across several competitive formats. Arcade mode focuses on instant action, time trials, and leaderboard runs. Scenarios mode introduces unique challenges, from practice sessions on new tracks to demanding races designed to test mastery and precision.

Star Wars: Galactic Racer launches on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC in 2026.

New Resident Evil Requiem trailer teases a return to the RPD

The title officially launches on February 27.

Fresh off a stellar 2025 filled with award-winning titles, the world of games is now going through a calm before another inevitable storm. We’re still some ways away from the next explosion of amazing titles. For now, however, an upcoming major title is looking to kick off 2026 with a huge bang. Coming very soon, Resident Evil Requiem just got another trailer, and yes, there’s more Leon to go around.

Late last year, Capcom revealed a bombshell announcement it’s been saving up since the title’s big reveal. Resident Evil Requiem will feature the return of the franchise’s most iconic protagonist, Leon Kennedy. The suave agent will play alongside FBI analyst Grace Ashcroft, who heads to Raccoon City to investigate a series of strange deaths.

Since the two characters clearly have opposing personalities, fans have speculated that they will have opposing playstyles. Now, through a new trailer, Capcom has confirmed that Resident Evil Requiem will mix the two genres that the franchise is known for.

Ashcroft, unused to fighting, will have portions more tailored for survival horror, akin to the more recent titles in the series. Meanwhile, Kennedy is back to his gun-toting ways, featuring the same action he’s known for in Resident Evil 4.

Beside the playstyles, there are few Easter eggs for the upcoming title. For example, Sherry makes a very subtle appearance. Also, and this is the kicker, Leon is coming back to Raccoon Police Department in the trailer’s final moments.

Resident Evil Requiem is now available for preorders. The title will officially launch on February 27 for all major platforms.

Jason Momoa in A Minecraft Movie

PlayStation’s State of Play is about games. However, there are a few times when the semi-regular event can spawn hype for something outside the realm of gaming. Today is one of those times. Sony Pictures and PlayStation have released more information about the upcoming Helldivers movie adaptation.

Early last year, Sony teased a variety of upcoming adaptations for its tentpole franchises. This announcement included Horizon Zero Dawn, Ghost of Tsushima, and Helldivers.

Today, as reported by Variety, the Helldivers film finally has a leading man. Jason Momoa, who starred in the Minecraft adaptation previously, will star in the film.

Since the franchise isn’t really known for a specific main character, it’s unknown who the star will play. We also don’t know his co-stars yet.

Alongside Momoa, Justin Lin will direct the film. The director is known for his work with the Fast and Furious franchise.

Plot-wise, the Helldivers franchise seems tailor-made for the movies. It’s not a supremely story-driven game, but its premise is endlessly adaptable. The games always revolve around a group of soldiers called Helldivers, who protect Super Earth from a host of alien threats. These threats include rogue robots and bug-like creatures.

The film, whatever it might tackle, will premiere on November 10, 2027.

Helldivers 2 launched back in 2024. At the time, the game was exclusive for the PlayStation and PC. However, it recently launched on the Xbox, too.
