While Google's Tensor-class SoCs have always represented an intricate balancing act between performance and cost, the upcoming Tensor G6 chip - which bears the internal codename Malibu - appears to be tilting that balance ever so slightly in the favor of cost controls, as evidenced by Google's apparent decision to use a refreshed version of a 5-year-old GPU. Of course, in the age of relentless memory-focused 'chipflation,' Google's quirky gambit might well yield an optimal mobile-focused SoC, especially if the Tensor G6's TPU steps up, and manages to paper over any GPU-led shortcomings.

One of the first major current-gen exclusives for the PlayStation 5 was Returnal, the bullet-hell rougelike from first-party studio Housemarque that arrived a few months after the launch of the console on April 30, 2021. Now, five years after that launch, Housemarque is back with a spiritual successor in Saros. Saros isn't a narrative continuation to Returnal, as it features a new cast of characters and a new story for players to dive into, but it is a sequel in terms of how the gameplay evolves from Returnal to Saros.

The Japanese publisher has found incredible success with the Monster Hunter and Resident Evil franchises lately, but it cannot simply be content with turning into a sequel or remake machine. The creation of new intellectual properties is vital to keep creativity going, and CAPCOM stumbled a little in this regard with 2023's multiplayer game Exoprimal and 2024's action/strategy game Kunitsu-gami: Path of the Goddess, neither of which received acclaim or decent sales.
