A NASA video (above) reveals in great detail how its upcoming Artemis II mission is expected to play out. The space agency released the animation last year, but seeing that the Artemis II astronauts could be heading to the moon as early as February 6, it’s a great time to watch it again. The Artemis II crew members — NASA’s Victor Glover, Reid Wiseman, and Christina Koch, together with the Canadian Space Agency’s Jeremy Hansen — will launch inside the Orion spacecraft, carried to space by the powerful SLS (Space Launch System) rocket. The crew will spend 10 days in…
In a car market that feels increasingly hostile to user choice, Volvo has just stepped up as the voice of reason we desperately needed. While some major competitors – looking at you, General Motors – are busy tearing out Apple CarPlay and Android Auto in favor of their own proprietary systems, Volvo has drawn a line in the sand. In a recent conversation with The Drive, Volvo’s chief engineering and technology officer, Anders Bell, made it crystal clear: the Swedish automaker will “absolutely” keep supporting these third-party platforms across their lineup, including their new electric vehicles. This is a massive…
Samsung is preparing to go head-to-head with Apple in the foldable race with a new wide-format foldable that is designed to mirror what many expect from the first foldable iPhone.

For the last 25 years, developer IO Interactive has been known primarily for the lauded Hitman franchise. In that series, players take control of Agent 47, a blank-slate killing machine who travels the world to hunt down targets and take them out in ways that either look like an accident or are untraceable back to him. The series, particularly the World of Assassination trilogy, saw IO Interactive reach new heights, delivering some of the most engaging sandbox stealth experiences the medium has ever seen.Though markedly different experiences, many of the skills that IO developed transferred to the development of 007…

Early Access games have been around for a while now. The trend of launching a game into Early Access to allow curious of players to check out an in-progress game and get their feedback for 1.0 continues to grow. But knowing what I’d be playing is unfinished and could change has always kept me at an arm’s length from these games. I even skipped Hades II’s Early Access period, despite adoring the first game and knowing developer Supergiant Games is good for its in-development word. I’m starting to wonder if I’ve been throwing a wet blanket on this type of release…
