The upcoming video game tosses the intrepid archaeologist into a deadly adventure once more, and that journey looks like it will face him up against foes who are as dastardly as ever. Starting with rival archaeologist René Belloq and the army of Nazis on his side in, villains tend to be memorable parts of stories that are full of set pieces and surprises galore. Indiana always triumphs, of course, but his enemies are often done in by their hubris as much as they are by his wits.
Apple Failed to Announce Any iPad Upgrade in 2023 and The End Result is Evident in The Company’s Annual Revenue
02.01.2024 - 02:49 / wccftech.com
2024 will be a busy year for Apple as various product upgrades are lined up. Last year, the company announced its Vision Pro headset alongside the 15-inch MacBook Air with an M2 chip. While the larger MacBook Air was released soon after its announcement, the Vision Pro headset is expected to launch in the first quarter of this year. Other than this, the company also announced new iPhone and Apple Watch models with significant upgrades. However, Apple did not upgrade iPad models, which could have impacted Apple's overall revenue.
It was reported that Apple's iPad revenue for Q4 2023 declined by 10 percent due to a lack of new upgrades. It was also speculated that the trend will continue unless the company releases new models in 2023. Now that 2023 is over, Apple has not announced any iPad upgrades, and the results are evident in Apple's annual revenue. For the first time in 12 years, Apple has failed to announce a new iPad upgrade.
The original iPad was launched in 2010 and has received various upgrades since. Apple also diversified the iPad lineup with the iPad Air, iPad Pro, and iPad mini models. The company also offers a budget iPad, which underwent a redesign. That said, 2023 is a low point for the iPad and Apple as the company did not bring anything new.
It was reported last year that the company plans to launch new iPad Pro and iPad Air models in the last quarter. However, the company announced new M3 MacBook Pro models instead. This left the iPad in the dust again as the launch speculations stretched to 2024. However, the company has a lot in store for the iPad Pro models launching in the coming months.
It was recently reported that Apple recorded four straight quarters of declining sales. While the total revenue is subject to Apple's entire product line, it would have been better if the company had announced new iPad models last year. The iPad division gathered $28.3 billion in revenue, which is 3.4 percent lower than in 2022. The lower sales are potentially due to a lack of innovation in design and feature-set distributed throughout the lineup.
As mentioned, Apple has a lot planned for the iPad lineup this year, with the 'Pro' models expected to receive significant attention. We have previously reported that the company could announce the new iPad Pro models with an OLED display. This upgrade alone could give Apple the boost that it desperately needs. The company is also expected to redesign the chassis to house a slightly bigger display. The devices will also house an M3 chip, the same SoC that powers the base 14-inch MacBook Pro model.
The company is also expected to launch an upgraded iPad Air and iPad mini later this year. The M2 chip could power the iPad Air 6, while the iPad mini 7 could

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is first-person — and it’s in the right hands for that
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, a new whip-cracking adventure coming from Wolfenstein studio MachineGames and avowed Indy fanboy Todd Howard, was revealed on Thursday to be a first-person game. Well, mostly. Players will see through the eyes of Indiana Jones on a globe-trotting story where they’ll explore ancient temples, recover mysterious artifacts, and punch, shoot, and whip Nazis.

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle Will Have “Open-Area Maps” (and Snakes)
From its hand-to-hand combat and its fully simulated whip to its focus on cinematic set pieces and the fact that it’s going to be a primarily first-person experience, there’s plenty about Indiana Jones and the Great Circle that has been revealed by developer MachineGames, though some questions have still yet to be answered. For instance, how is the game going to be structured? Is it going to be a linear experience, as you’d expect from a cinematic action-adventure game such as this one, or will it afford room for open-ended exploration?

Indiana Jones And The Great Circle Confirms Who Is Playing Indy
The upcoming Indiana Jones and the Great Circle will see veteran voice actor Troy Baker play the titular treasure hunter. Bethesda revealed that it is working on an Indiana Jones video game back in 2021, with subsidiary Wolfenstein studio MachineGames on developmental duties.

Bandle Tale is unlike anything you’ve seen in the League of Legends universe
Bandle Tale: A League of Legends Story is the latest game from League of Legends indie game label Riot Forge, and it’s decidedly different from everything that came before it. While Riot Forge games likeThe Mageseeker, Convergence, and Song of Nunu have been more intense action League of Legends affairs, Bandle Tale is a comedic, cozy adventure with gameplay that shares more in common with Stardew Valley than League of Legends.
