Crunchyroll and Toei Animation have announced that Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero, the newest film in the hugely popular anime franchise, will hit theaters globally this summer.

Following the record-breaking success of Dragon Ball: Super Broly, the blockbuster anime franchise is heading back to the big screen. In Japan, the movie will be released on June 11.

Starting in August, Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero will then be rolled out in theaters in North America, Latin America, Europe, Australia/New Zealand, Africa, the Middle East, and the rest of Asia.

Super Hero is set to become the first truly globally-distributed theatrical release for Crunchyroll, and it is the second film under the Dragon Ball Super brand following the release of Broly in 2018. Both films serve as a continuation of Dragon Ball Super, which has both a manga and anime series, though the latter stopped producing new episodes in 2018.

"For more than 30 years, the Dragon Ball franchise has delighted fans around the globe who have followed the world's greatest warriors who defend Earth from forces of evil," said Rahul Purini, President of Crunchyroll. "We're thrilled to partner with Toei Animation to bring fans the latest chapter of Dragon Ball Super to the legion of super fans eager to continue the adventure and to grow the anime audiences who are discovering it for the first time."

Timeline-wise, the new flick takes place around the end of Dragon Ball Z in Age 784, with fan-favorite characters such as Goku, Bulma, Piccolo, Vegeta, Broly, and a kindergarten age Pan all returning for the next adventure alongside Gamma 1 and Gamma 2, two new android characters that call themselves "Super Heroes" but quickly turn on Piccolo and Gohan.

The Japanese voice cast features Masako Nozawa (Gohan, Goku and Goten), Toshio Furukawa (Piccolo), Yūko Minaguchi (Pan), Ryō Horikawa (Vegeta), Mayumi Tanaka (Krillin), Aya Hisakawa (Bulma), Takeshi Kusao (Trunks), Miki Itō (Android 18), Bin Shimada (Broly), Kōichi Yamadera (Beerus), Masakazu Morita (Whis), Hiroshi Kamiya (Gamma 1), Mamoru Miyano (Gamma 2), Miyu Irino (Dr. Hedo), Volcano Ota (Magenta), and Ryota Takeuchi (Carmine).

The latest action-packed entry in the sprawling anime series was originally announced at SDCC 2021, where a teaser with a new animation style was revealed alongside an official title. Original creator Akira Toriyama was also confirmed to be returning to write and provide more character designs for the 21st Dragon Ball movie, under the direction of Tetsuro Kodama.

Super Hero made it onto IGN's list of new anime to watch out for this year alongside the likes of Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, a 10-episode series set in the Cyberpunk 2077 universe, Spriggan, an anime based on the classic manga by Hiroshi Takashige, and Attack on Titan: The Final Season Part 2, which is now available to stream on Crunchyroll and Funimation.

FromSoftware's developers are "actively working" to fix the Dark Souls trilogy's PC servers after a serious exploit brought them down in January.

As reported by PC Gamer, reddit user Relevant-Heart-1751 received an email from publisher Bandai Namco saying the servers would be brought back online "as soon as possible".

The user had contacted Bandai Namco to ask if the servers for Dark Souls (Prepare to Die Edition and Remastered), Dark Souls 2, and Dark Souls 3 - turned off after an exploit allowed other players to take over the user's PC - would ever be turned back on.

"I'm happy to confirm that the developers are actively working on resolving the issue in question and re-launching the Dark Souls servers for PC as soon as possible," the email read.

It didn't give any indication of when the servers would be restored, however, which have already been offline for three and a half months.

Bandai Namco said at the time: "PvP servers for Dark Souls 3, Dark Souls 2, and Dark Souls: Remastered have been temporarily deactivated to allow the team to investigate recent reports of an issue with online services."

As this issue arose just a month before FromSoftware released Elden Ring, fans looking forward to the game were worried it would affect its multiplayer components. Thankfully, however, Elden Ring was able to launch without major issues and became an incredible success.

It did have to deal with a few hacking issues though, after an infamous Dark Souls hacker appeared in Elden Ring and forced illegal items into players' inventories, causing them to be banned. Even weirder, the game's secret underwear was also being used by trolls to get other players banned.

The BioWare store listed and quickly deleted a product description that implies original Mass Effect protagonist Commander Shepard is returning in the next game.

As reported by Video Games Chronicle, YouTube user MrHulthen noticed a plot synopsis in the description of a Mass Effect 5 poster, which indicates that Shepard would return.

Though it was quickly removed, the description originally read: "The show goes on. Shepard's final quest may have ended the threat of the Reapers but at great cost including Earth itself. While Shepard and the survivors are left to pick up the pieces, fans are left wondering what's next."

The mention of Shepard was omitted later as the description was changed to: "The threat of the Reapers might have been ended, but at great cost including Earth itself. While the survivors are left to pick up the pieces, fans are left wondering what's next."

It's unclear whether the original text was an inadvertent slip of information, or a simple mistake on the part of someone outside of the development team. Merchandise has been involved in accidental leaks before, but there's also the chance that someone with no inside knowledge has written the description. We've contacted BioWare for comment.

Spoilers for the original Mass Effect trilogy will follow.

What makes the description and potential return of Shepard particularly interesting is the fact that, in seven out of eight potential endings to Mass Effect 3, they die.

Most players would see Shepard sacrifices themselves in order to stop the enemy Reapers, with only one ending, and a complicated one at that, resulting in living.

That being said, while nothing is official, fans have speculated based on the events of Mass Effect: Andromeda and the new Mass Effect's reveal trailer that the ending where Shepard lives is actually the true canon.

The poster itself (above) was revealed in November last year and BioWare general manager Gary McKay did say it includes "at least five surprises", though it would be pretty hard to identify one of the four characters as Shepard from that distance.

BioWare has said practically nothing else about the new Mass Effect game following its reveal in December 2020, though we do know that multiple members of the original trilogy are working on the new intalment.

IGN loved the first three games, saying Mass Effect 1, 2, and 3 were all amazing. While the fourth installment, Mass Effect: Andromeda, dipped a little, IGN still said it was good.

The PlayStation Store recently suggested that Gotham Knights had transitioned from a maximum of 2-player to 4-player co-op, but this was seemingly a mistake.

Last week, users on Reddit noticed that a PS Store listing mentions that the game would support up to 4 players online. However, that PS Store listing has quietly been changed to reflect that the game actually "supports up to 2 online players".

In addition, a new gameplay trailer shows off that the game continues to include only two of the four playable characters at any one time, and mentions that, "while you can play the whole game solo, you can also protect Gotham in co-op with a friend." The trailer makes no mention of other players, or even AI companions that take your crew of Knights to beyond 2 characters.

Developer WB Montreal has previously told IGN why it opted for a maximum of 2-player co-op, saying, "the more you try to lean into [4-player co-op], the more you end up having to create environments that only really work for that." It seems it's sticking with that philosophy.

One element that has changed is where Gotham Knights will arrive – while it's still coming to PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC, the PS4 and Xbox One versions have been cancelled. After a delay, the game will arrive on October 25.

Nintendo has announced a new Indie World Showcase stream for tomorrow, Wednesday, May 11.

No major details have been announced, but the showcase will air for roughly 20 minutes at 7am Pacific / 10am Eastern / 3pm UK / Midnight AEDT.

Tune in May 11 at 7:00 a.m. PT for a new @IndieWorldNA Showcase featuring roughly 20 minutes of information on upcoming indie games headed to Nintendo Switch. #IndieWorld

Watch it live here tomorrow: https://t.co/OCOJhqYfD9 pic.twitter.com/5nuNImMLB0

— Nintendo of America (@NintendoAmerica) May 10, 2022

The last Indie World showcase came in December 2021, and included a prequel to The Messenger called Sea of Stars, River City Girls 2, AfterLove EP, and much more.

While this isn't a full Nintendo Direct, we're almost guaranteed to see one next month, given that Nintendo always releases a showcase for E3. While E3 may be cancelled this year, it likely won't stop Nintendo from showing off its slate in a major presentation.

AMD announced today that it is adding new graphics cards to its Radeon RX 6000 series. Promising faster game clocks and memory.

Three new GPUs have been added to the Radeon RX 6000 line: the RX 6650 XT, the 6750 XT, and the 6950 XT. Like other GPUs in the RX 6000 series, the latest cards use RDNA 2, the graphical architecture that is used in the PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and the Steam Deck.

The most powerful of the three new SKUs announced today, the RX 6950 XT is for those looking to play games in 4K resolution. It features 16GB of GDDR6 memory and will now serve as the current flagship in the RX 6000 family of graphics cards. AMD aims to make this GPU a competitor to Nvidia's RTX 3090. Pricing for the RX 6590 XT starts at $1,099.

For those looking for an AMD card aimed at 1440p gaming, the RX 6750 XT promises to deliver that experience. It features 12GB of GDDR6 memory and sits between the RX 6700 XT and the RX 6800, aiming to compete with the Nvidia RTX 3070. The RX 6750 XT's retail pricing starts at $549.

The RX 6650 XT is the most affordable of the new GPUs designed for high-refresh rate gaming at 1080p resolution, featuring 8GB of GDDR6 memory. AMD confirmed that this GPU will serve as a successor to the now discontinued RX 6600 XT, a GPU released last year. The RX 6650 XT's retail price starts at $399.

AMD's Radeon RX 6650 XT, 6750 XT, and 6950 XT are available now. Alongside AMD's own take on each SKU, nine companies are making their own versions of these cards, including Asus, MSI, and Gigabyte.

DJI has introduced a new iteration of its smallest drone, the DJI Mini 3 Pro, with a heavily revised design and a new camera that lets you take vertical photos and video.

The new DJI Mini 3 Pro features a sleeker, slimmer design with a face that prominently features the camera gimbal. Instead of a prominent angular brow sitting above the camera, this drone almost looks a bit frog-eyed while the camera sits inside a dome-shaped recess.

It’s a bold design (and a divisive one to be sure), but it also allows the gimbal to point the camera at higher angles than was previously possible. At the same time, this new gimbal allows the camera to turn to a vertical orientation so you can shoot photos in portrait mode.

This has been a big missing feature on drones. While drones have excelled at capturing wide vistas in landscape pictures, it’s been a struggle to capture the scale of tall buildings and other objects until now. Taking photos and videos in portrait also makes them infinitely more sharable on TikTok and Instagram reels where almost everything is presented in a vertical format.

The drone features a 1/1.3-inch CMOS sensor with an f1.7 lens. Interestingly, the new camera sensor is physically smaller than its predecessor’s 1/2.3-inch sensor, which took 12MP photos and 4K30p video. Despite having a smaller sensor, it’s actually more capable as it can capture 48MP photos (in JPG and RAW) and 4K HDR video at up to 30fps.

The whole drone also folds into a 145 × 90 × 62 mm package, so you can easily slip it into your jacket pocket or a small bag to take anywhere. Its less than 249 gram weight also allows it to slip under regulations, which means you can fly it in most countries and regions without concern.

Despite how small the Mini 3 Pro, it’s a peppy little quadcopter that’s able to reach a speed of 22 miles per hour regularly. Then activating sport mode lets you increase the drone’s maximum speed to 35.7 mph.

One thing the Mini 3 Pro doesn’t feature is the latest version of DJI’s latest obstacle detection or object and person tracking software. Instead, you get the older generation APAS 4.0 and ActiveTrack 4.0, which were still more than serviceable in my short testing.

DJI has also extended the flight time to 34 minutes. That’s a slight improvement over the Mini 2’s maximum 31-minute flight time. If you want more time in the sky, there’s also an option for new, larger intelligent batteries, which can push flight time to 47 minutes – but this comes at the cost of pushing the drone’s weight just slightly above 249 grams.

Coinciding with the launch of the Mini 3 Pro, DJI has also introduced a new RC controller with a built-in 5.5-inch screen. The new DJI RC is essentially a pared down version of the DJI Smart Controller, with simpler controls and internal antennas.

The DJI Mini 3 Pro will be available in Summer 2022, which should June or July, in a variety of packages at prices listed below.

• DJI Mini 3 Pro (No RC) – $669
• DJI Mini 3 Pro (RC-N1) – $759
• DJI Mini 3 Pro (DJI RC) – $909
• DJI Mini 3 Pro Fly More Kit – $189 extra
• DJI Mini 3 Pro Fly More Kit Plus – $249 extra
