Initially teased a month ago, the much-awaited BLACKPINK x Razer collab has finally been revealed for all the BLINKs to see (and purchase).

ICYMI, BLACKPINK (or K-Pop’s biggest female quartet composed of Jennie, Lisa, Rosé, and Jisoo) started their highly-anticipated ‘DEADLINE’ World Tour just last year.
With Razer’s signature dark black styling paired with BLACKPINK’s bold and iconic pink scheme, this collaboration felt like the perfect match.

That said, here are all the BLACKPINK Edition gaming accessories you should expect from the Singaporean-American gaming giant.
Ornata V3 Tenkeyless – BLACKPINK Edition

This popped right in time as BLACKPINK will hold the Hong Kong stop of their ‘DEADLINE’ tour for three straight days — from January 24 (Saturday) until January 26, 2026 (Monday).
Moreover, these might just be the perfect complement to the quatro’s upcoming ‘DEADLINE’ EP by February 27, 2026.
Might as well, an advanced 10th year anniversary gift this August 2026.
Gaming
Ubisoft cancels Prince of Persia remake, five other games
The company restructured into five different studios.
One to two decades ago, Ubisoft was one of my favorite game developers. From Assassin’s Creed to Splinter Cell to Prince of Persia, the company was a bastion for unique roleplaying experiences. Now, it feels like they’re tapping into old wells too many times. To try and rekindle the magic, Ubisoft has just restructured the company and, unfortunately, dropped or delayed some titles in development.
One of those canceled titles is the ill-fated Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time remake. The classic game was a bright spot for the studio prior to the rise of the Assassin’s Creed franchise. Back in 2020, Ubisoft announced a remake of the title. Sadly, it’s been in development hell with nary a peep from the studio. Now, it’s gone for good.
Besides Prince of Persia, Ubisoft also canceled five other titles but refused to name any of them. Plus, seven games were delayed. Though unnamed, one of those titles might be the rumored remake of Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag.
The restructuring itself sees Ubisoft split the work among five development teams (via VGC). Vantage Studios, one of those “creative houses,” will oversee Ubisoft’s tentpole franchises including Assassin’s Creed and Far Cry.
The second and third houses will work on competitive games (such as Rainbow Six Siege) and live-service games (such as For Honor), respectively. Meanwhile, the fourth house will handle narrative-driven titles such as Anno and Prince of Persia. Finally, the fifth will work on family-friendly titles such as Just Dance and Monopoly.

Sony and TCL have signed a memorandum of understanding to explore a strategic partnership in home entertainment. The move could reshape how Sony TVs and audio products are developed, built, and sold worldwide.
Under the agreement, Sony Corporation and TCL Electronics Holdings Limited will discuss forming a joint venture that would take over Sony’s home entertainment business. TCL would hold a 51% stake, while Sony would retain 49%.
The two companies aim to finalize binding agreements by the end of March 2026, subject to regulatory approvals. If completed, the new company is expected to begin operations in April 2027.
What the joint venture would handle
The proposed joint venture would operate globally and manage the entire home entertainment pipeline. This includes product planning, design, manufacturing, sales, logistics, and customer service.
Products under the venture would cover televisions and home audio equipment. Sony and TCL say these products are expected to continue carrying the globally recognized Sony and BRAVIA names.
The partnership is designed to combine Sony’s strengths in picture and audio quality, brand value, and operational expertise with TCL’s display technology, manufacturing scale, and vertically integrated supply chain.
Why Sony and TCL are teaming up
The companies point to continued growth in the large-screen TV market. Viewing habits are shifting, driven by streaming platforms, smarter TV features, and demand for higher resolution and larger displays.
Sony brings decades of imaging and sound expertise. TCL contributes cost efficiency, advanced panel technology, and global manufacturing reach. Together, the companies believe they can deliver more competitive products while improving operational efficiency.
Sony President and CEO Kimio Maki said the partnership aims to create new customer value through more compelling audio and visual experiences. TCL Chairperson DU Juan described the move as a way to elevate brand value, scale operations, and optimize the supply chain.
What this could mean for consumers
If the joint venture moves forward, consumers can expect future Sony-branded TVs and audio products to benefit from TCL’s display innovations and production scale, while retaining Sony’s image processing, sound tuning, and overall design philosophy.
Both companies say they will continue to support the venture’s long-term growth as the home entertainment market evolves.
