Did you see this one coming?

Pokémon fans are pretty much speculating on the mysterious game that’s going to be released for the Nintendo Switch. It still is, of course, under development so everything is still pretty hushed. Since the game is quite a while away from its release, people can’t help theorizing what the game could be. That aside, the latest bit of interesting news comes from a tweet that revealed the game’s kick-off of the franchise’s eighth generation.

This may have contradicted what most fans have been predicting since a lot of people have thought the upcoming Pokémon Switch game would have gamers return to Kanto for a series reboot. Of course, Nintendo hasn’t officially denied that theory — encouraging much of the community to talk about the upcoming game. In the official Nintendo Magazine shown in the tweet, it’s clear that fans could be wrong and the game might potentially be releasing a new generation entirely. I suppose fans didn’t call it this time around but there’s still some glimmer of hope.

I say “potentially” and “could be” because there hasn’t been any word from Nintendo themselves. It’s looking more and more like they’re rounding up their team and focusing on the new Super Smash Bros. game instead. Then again, they could be keeping quiet until an official announcement at E3 this summer. Nintendo has not confirmed or launched the title of the game nor the release date, so we may have to sit this one out and wait. If there’s a big reveal at E3, it’s happening on June 12 to June 14 in Los Angeles, California.

LE SSERAFIM returns to Blizzard

LE SSERAFIM debuted in 2022 under SOURCE MUSIC, a label of HYBE. The group is composed of Sakura Miyawaki, Kim Chaewon, Huh Yunjin, Kazuha Nakamura, and Hong Eunchae.

The group’s name is an anagram of “I’m Fearless,” reflecting the confidence that has defined its music since debut.

This won’t be LE SSERAFIM’s first crossover with Blizzard. The group previously collaborated with Overwatch 2, bringing themed cosmetics and a special event to the hero shooter.

BlizzCon 2026 is sold out

PC and handheld gamers can officially skip the wait, as AMD has launched its FSR 4.1 upscaling technology for Radeon RX 7000 series (RDNA 3) GPUs.

Computing and Graphics Group Senior Vice President and GM Jack Huynh made the announcement on X (formerly Twitter). This development brings machine learning powered gaming to millions of players across more than 300 games.

By downloading the latest AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.6.2 driver, users can unlock the new AI upscaling suite on existing RX 7000 series desktop graphics cards.

(The driver can be downloaded here.)

The update drastically sharpens image reconstruction, delivers far superior temporal stability, and keeps motion ghosting to an absolute minimum. That’s across a massive library of supported titles.

Beyond optimized frame rates out of the gate for those two blockbusters, the release packs vital architecture stability improvements and bug fixes for the broader Radeon ecosystem.

Huynh added that AMD is actively engineering lightweight machine learning models to expand FSR 4.1 optimizations to a wider base of gamers. More details are to come.

Moreover, the driver for the FSR 4.1 upscaling technology will deliver day-one support for two highly anticipated releases: Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced and DOOM: The Dark Ages | Revelations.

if you are wielding an RDNA 3 desktop rig or an RDNA 3-powered handheld, like the ROG Ally X or Lenovo Legion GO, simply open up the AMD Software suite, get the update, and test the new AI tech.
