A new entry in Elden Ring developer FromSoftware's Armored Core series has allegedly been revealed via a survey sent out to consumers.

ResetERA's Red Liquorice shared that they recently finished a consumer survey about "a new Armoured Core game with description, screenshots and two 30 second-ish videos of gameplay - the first a boss fight and the second more in-world gameplay, a snow area."

They were unable to share any screenshots as they are all "unique ID watermarked," but they did share an image of the text description of this alleged unannounced game.

"Melange, an unknown substance that could dramatically advance human society," the game's description reads. "In the past, the substance caused a cosmic catastrophe on planet Bashtar that engulfed the surrounding star systems, and eventually its very existence was lost. Decades later, the Melange reaction was confirmed again on planet Bashtar."

"In search of the unknown substance that should have been lost, various speculations begin to swirl. Various parties are getting involved; The government, corporations, cultists, and unknown mercenaries... The protagonist is one of them."

The game is described as a "TPS (third person shooter) mecha action title that lets you move around an overwhelmingly scaled map that represents a unique sci-fi world with dynamic mech action." It is also said that the aforementioned sci-fi world is created by Hidetaka Miyazaki himself.

Miyazaki, who is the director of the Dark Souls games, the upcoming Elden Ring, and even Armored Core 4 and Armored Core: For Answer, actually began his career by working as a game planner on Armored Core: Last Raven in 2004.

The description also teases a "vast field that represents a multi-layered world;" long and short-range battles with guns, blades, and shields; and a high degree of customization that will let players fine-tune their mechs to suit their play styles.

Red Liquorice continued to say that the boss fight they saw was "quite soulsy" and that the short glimpse of gameplay hinted at the possibility of co-op.

They also claim the survey listed some options for a potential name for this project.

"Most of them were Armoured Core: [Something] including just 'Armoured Core' and both AC: 6, AC: VI, and other subtitles I can't remember, some of the choices didn't include AC in the name at all," Red Liquorice said.

Lastly, they shared a brief description of what they seemingly saw in the video and how that first boss fight looked.

"iirc the boss had a domed head and was bigger than the player but not huge," Red Liquorice said. "If I had to guess, I'd say this was like an Asylum or Taurus Demon style early boss, obviously total speculation there, but it didn't seem grandious or particularly impressive as an encounter. Boss had a life bar on screen (at the top of the screen iirc) - very simple but it was more red LED-styled, futuristic as you might expect, angular edges on the lifebars rather than straight rectangle."

It's obviously important to take this news with a grain of salt, but FromSoftware has previously stated that it has no intention of ending the Armored Core series. In 2018, Miyazaki even hinted that a new entry was in development.

With Elden Ring set to be released on February 25, 2022, it may not be too terribly long until we find out if FromSoftware is in fact planning to return to Armored Core for its next game.

Until then, be sure to check out our hands-on preview of Elden Ring and our review of the last Armored Core game - 2013's Armored Core: Verdict Day.

Prime Video has decided to cancel I Know What You Did Last Summer almost two months after the finale of the series' first season premiered.

As reported by Deadline, Prime Video's young adult horror series was met with a mixed reception and unfortunately will not return for a Season 2. While this series won't continue, Prime Video is still a great home for other young adult series like The Wilds, Fairfax, and the upcoming The Summer I Turned Pretty.

Prime Video's I Know What You Did Last Summer was an adaptation of the 1973 novel by Lois Duncan of the same name and follows the 1997 film - once again of the same name - that starred Jennifer Love Hewitt, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Ryan Phillippe, Freddie Prinze Jr., Johnny Galecki, and Bridgette Wilson.

In our review of the first four episodes of I Know What You Did Last Summer, we said that its "unlikable characters, inconsistent tone, and occasional cookie-cutter scares are at odds with Madison Iseman's excellent, dual-character performance and the series' fresh, clever twists on the source material. While it is so far better than the films that came before it, it's far from the must-binge horror reimagining we were hoping for."

The new series was written by Sara Goodman and starred Madison Iseman, Brianne Tju, Ezekiel Goodman, Ashley Moore, Sebastian Amoruso, Fiona Rene, Cassie Beck, Brooke Bloom and Bill Heck. Sonya Balmores and Spencer Sutherland were recurring characters.

I Know What You Did Last Summer is one of the first cancelled shows of 2022, and follows a year that also saw the sunsetting of Netflix's Cowboy Bebop, FX's Y: The Last Man, and Netflix's Hit & Run.

Those who are looking to purchase Dying Light 2 on February 4, 2022, and beyond will be happy (or terrified) to know that developer Techland has confirmed it will take "at least 500 hours" to fully complete the game.

Techland shared the news on Dying Light's Twitter, saying that the sequel to its 2015 first-person zombie action survival horror game is "almost as long as it would take to walk from Warsaw to Madrid." For those wondering, that walk would take around 534 hours.

This news took the internet by storm and there were those who felt that 500 hours was a bit of a daunting mission to undertake. Techland quickly put those fears to rest by saying that the enormous amount of time to reach 100% was reached by doing literally everything, and most players will be able to finish the main story and side quests in under 100 hours.

"500 hours is related to maxing out the game - finishing all the quests, endings, and exploring every part of the world, but a regular player should finish the story + side quests and do quite a lot of exploring in less than 100 hours, so don't worry," Techland wrote.

In a follow-up tweet, the developer confirmed that, "if you're not in a rush," Dying Light 2's story and side quests should take roughly 70-80 hours to complete.

For comparison, howlongtobeat.com has Dying Light's main story taking 17.5 hours to complete, main story and extras at 35 hours, and a completionist run taking 55 hours. It's clear the developers are holding nothing back for this new entry.

To learn what players can expect to do in those 500 hours, be sure to check out our Dying Light 2 hands-on preview, what role The Mandalorian's Rosario Dawson will be playing, and what it will take to run the game at 1080p/60FPS with ray tracing on PC.

CES has always first-and-foremost been a TV show and CES 2022 didn’t disappoint in the slightest. Here are the biggest TV announcements we’ve seen at the show.

Sony A95K Series

Sony threw us a real surprise by announcing the first quantum dot OLED TV with the Sony A95K Series. Available in 65- and 55-inch sizes, the A95K Series is a 4K TV featuring a quantum dot OLED panel that absorbs light and scatters it for an image with wider viewing angles. It also has allowed Sony to get rid of white subpixels, so colors are more vibrant and brighter overall without getting washed out.

LG C2

LG introduced the 48-inch CX as one the smallest 4K OLED TV you could buy two years ago and now with the the C2, it’s announced an even smaller 42-inch set. The new TV is so small that the light sensor sticks out on the bottom lip of the TV instead of being set discreetly inside the frame.

Aside from being smaller, the LG C2 features a new EX panel structure that increases brightness by 30% when compared to a traditional OLED TV. The LG C2 has also been fitted with new HDMI 2.1 ports with full access to the 48Gbps bandwidth of the standard – previously the CX and C1 were limited to 40Gbps ports.

And if you’re looking for something on the opposite end of the spectrum, LG also announced a new 97-inch C2 as the largest OLED TV that’s ever been introduced.

TCL X9 ODZero 8K Mini-LED TV

TCL's 8K TVs have been a known quantity for years now, but it’s finally announcing a launch date at CES 2022. The 85-inch 8K TV will set you back $10,000, but its “ODZero” mini-LED backlit panel makes it as thin as an OLED TV despite not actually being one. It also features an integrated 5.1.2 Onkyo-powered Dolby Atmos soundbar for some serious surround sound you can even hear above you.

Hisense U9H ULED 4K Mini-LED TV

The Hisense U9H is the company’s first Mini-LED TV. It promises to give viewers 1,280 full-array local dimming zones and up to 2,000 nits of peak brightness. Scheduled to arrive in late summer 2022, it’ll retail for $3,199 when it releases.

Samsung FreeStyle

Not a TV but possibly the most fun home entertainment product of CES 2022, the FreeStyle is a portable projector that you can point like a spotlight and even screw into a light fixture. The $899 projector features a suite of onboard sensors that help it automatically align and adjust its image to any surface you point it at. It also has a pair of great-sounding speakers to go with the 1080p picture you can take anywhere as it just needs USB-C power and Wi-Fi to work.

As for smarts it supports both Amazon Alexa and Samsung Bixby, and has access to all the typical streaming apps like Netflix and Amazon Prime Video.
