Microsoft is planning a mid-gen refresh for its Xbox Series X and Series S consoles, eyeing a release in 2024. A series of leaked court documents from the Microsoft vs. US FTC trial revealed a roadmap and concept images for its upcoming set of gaming systems, which also includes a new controller with gyro and haptic feedback. Codenamed ‘Brooklin,' the all-digital Xbox Series X boasts the same horsepower as the existing version, albeit lacking a disc drive. The console is cylindrically shaped and comes with a generous 2TB storage — up from 1TB — which I'm guessing is an SSD. It'll bear the same price tag of $499/ Rs. 54,990 and is slated to drop in late October, next year.
G.I. Joe: Wrath Of Cobra Brawls Onto PC & Consoles In 2024
01.09.2023 - 02:23 / gamepur.com
Cobra Commander has returned, and it’s time to put him back in his place, as G.I. Joe: Wrath of Cobra will bring the classic multimedia franchise back to the video game industry. In this upcoming retro brawler, the members of G.I. Joe will face the forces of Cobra, bringing all their weapons to bear, most importantly, their fists.
Many cartoon franchises have successfully made the jump to the world of gaming, with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles appearing in modern titles. Despite its popularity and suitability for video games, there have only been fourteen G.I. Joe games made since 1983, with the most recent being G.I. Joe: Operation Blackout in 2020.

Beat Up Enemy Soldiers In G.I. Joe: Wrath Of Cobra
After a few years in the barracks, G.I. Joe is being revived in a new video game developed by Maple Powered Games and published by Freedom Games. It was announced during The MIX Next show that G.I. Joe: Wrath of Cobra is an arcade-style beat ’em up title coming to Nintendo Switch and PC via Steam, GOG, and the Epic Games Store in Q1 2024.
In G.I. Joe: Wrath of Cobra, up to four players can team up and take on the role of classic characters like Duke, Scarlett, and Snake Eyes as they battle Cobra in stages set across the world, including Cobra Island, as well as taking a trip to outer space to foil Cobra Commander’s plans. Along with their fists, the G.I. Joe team can use weapons and special abilities to defeat their foes as they face the ever-growing Cobra army. It’s also possible to parry and dodge enemy attacks in order to avoid being taken down in the field.
Sporting both online and couch co-op, G.I. Joe: Wrath of Cobra lets up to four players team up to take on the Arcade or Story Mode. The hand-drawn pixel art in the game evokes the days of the G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero cartoon from the ’80s, with a soundtrack composed by Tee Lopes (Sonic Mania, TMNT Shredder’s Revenge, and Streets of Rage 4 – Mr. X Nightmare DLC.)

It was long believed that the age of the arcade beat ’em up was over, but there have been many retro brawlers released over the past few years, some of which went on to great critical acclaim, such as Streets of Rage 4. G.I. Joe is a perfect fit for the genre, both in terms of its source material and its harkening from the era when cartoon heroes were among the most popular faces seen in arcade machines around the world.

New Xbox Console Leak Proves Series S Is About To Die
New leaks suggest that the final nail in the Xbox Series S' coffin could be coming sooner than expected. Microsoft released two versions of its Xbox console in 2020: the Series S and the Series X. This is a common strategy in the current home console generation, with the PS5 also releasing in two differently priced models. However, the Series S lags far behind all the other consoles on the market today. While it has a lower price point, its limitations make it a tough sell, and many have long believed it's time to ditch the Xbox Series S for an upgraded console.

Games consoles are infuriatingly exempt from California's otherwise important new right to repair bill
California, the biggest state in the US when it comes to both population and the sheer volume of tech companies squeezed into its borders, has just passed the country's most extreme right to repair bill in the US (via Ars Technica). It's the third state to pass such a bill, but goes further than either Minnesota or New York in that it forces companies to support their products for longer. But while it will cover gaming PCs and laptops, games console manufacturers get a free pass.

XDefiant Delayed After Failing PlayStation and Xbox Console Certification Test
XDefiant, Ubisoft's upcoming cross-over arena shooter, still does not have a solid release date and now we know why. In a blog post, producer Mark Rubin confirmed that the game failed its console certification with PlayStation and Xbox, and therefore has been delayed from its original American summer window. It is now eyeing a release sometime between mid-September to the middle of October, depending on any required day-one patches. It's worth mentioning that not passing a certification test is incredibly common for games, but we hardly ever hear about them since it's taken into consideration by publishers when setting a release date far in advance.
