The publisher has finally revealed what&#39;s next for Ben Solo - a new limited series dubbed Star Wars: The Fall of Kylo Ren.</p><p>The Fall of Kylo Ren continues to explore Ben Solo&#39;s difficult journey in this period as he asserts his control as Supreme Leader of the First Order and butts heads with General Hux and Allegiant General Pryde. Check out Phil Noto&#39;s cover to The Fall of Kylo Ren #1 below:</p><section data-transform="image-with-caption" data-image-url="https://assets-prd.ignimgs.com/2026/05/15/stwfallkylo2026001-cover-1778872917738.jpg" data-image-title="null" data-image-class="article-image-full-size" data-image-link="https://assets-prd.ignimgs.com/2026/05/15/stwfallkylo2026001-cover-1778872917738.jpg" data-caption="Art%20by%20Phil%20Noto.%20(Image%20Credit%3A%20Marvel%2FLucasfilm)" /></section><p>The Fall of Kylo Ren is obviously intended as a bookend to 2020&#39;s Star Wars: The Rise of Kylo Ren, which revealed how the troubled Ben Solo first became Kylo Ren and took control of the Knights of Ren. Fittingly, the new series will reunite writer Charles Soule and artist Will Sliney.</p><p>Marvel&#39;s official logline teases:</p><blockquote><em>THE LEGACY OF VADER CREATES A NEW EMPIRE OF FEAR!</em></blockquote><blockquote><em>Kylo Ren returns from devastation, wielding total fury! As Generals Hux and Pryde tear the First Order apart with treacherous ambition, Kylo cuts through their schemes with merciless clarity. His wrath forges unity through fear and unleashes a Supreme Leader neither general can escape…nor survive disappointing. A pivotal turning point for Kylo, Hux and Pryde and essential reading for every Star Wars fan.</em></blockquote><p>“The story of Kylo Ren (and Ben Solo, of course) always felt huge to me,” Soule said in a statement. “It was clear that a great deal was out there to explore beyond the moments provided by the films, and it’s been such a pleasure—and a challenge—to deliver new tales for one of the most prominent villains in Star Wars. I’m thrilled I get to do it one more time, and even more so that I get to reunite with the incredible Will Sliney, who kicked things off with me on The Rise of Kylo Ren all those years ago. First the Rise, then the Reign, and now the Fall… it just feels right.”</p><p>“This is the one book I have been dying to get back on,” Sliney said. “Ever since Charles and I worked on The Rise of Kylo Ren, we knew we were a part of something special. To be honest, I&#39;ve never experienced a fan group so excited for the story when we worked on Rise, and quietly behind the scenes, Charles and I had been talking about The Fall of Kylo Ren for a long, long time.&quot;</p><p>Sliney added, “The story we got to tell in Rise is such a key part in the story of Ben Solo. Fall is the same. I&#39;m thrilled to be back drawing it, I can&#39;t wait until this gets out into people&#39;s hands.”</p><section data-transform="image-with-caption" data-image-url="https://assets-prd.ignimgs.com/2026/05/15/stwfallkylo2026001-ross-1778872917738.jpg" data-image-title="undefined" data-image-class="article-image-full-size" data-image-link="https://assets-prd.ignimgs.com/2026/05/15/stwfallkylo2026001-ross-1778872917738.jpg" data-caption="Art%20by%20Luke%20Ross.%20(Image%20Credit%3A%20Marvel%2FLucasfilm)" /></section><p>Star Wars: The Fall of Kylo Ren #1 will be released on August 12, 2026.

It features a gorgeous 14&quot; 2880x1800 OLED display with a &quot;razor&quot; sharp 264ppi pixel density and 120Hz refresh rate. The AMD Ryzen AI 9 365 is a power efficient yet capable gaming and workstation mobile chip with an onboard XDNA 2 NPU for AI applications. It&#39;s paired with 32GB of blistering fast DDR5-8000MHz LPDDR5X RAM and a swappable 1TB SSD.</p><p>Razer Blade laptops are well known for their impeccable build quality. The chassis is built from a single piece of aluminum and is designed to be exceptionally thin and light for a gaming laptop. In order to get away with the svelte form factor, Razer employs its own proprietary cooling design, which incorporates a vacuum-sealed, liquid-filled, copper vapor chamber to effectively whisk away the heat. Much like <a href="https://www.ign.com/articles/apple-macbook-pro-16-inch-review-early-2023-model">Apple MacBook Pros</a>, a lot of engineering goes into a Razer Blade laptop, which is why they command a premium price compared to other mainstream brands.</p><p><p><p><h3>The GeForce RTX 5070 will run most games at 60fps</h3><p>The RTX 5070 is a full powered (unthrottled) mobile model with 115W TGP that performs about 5%-10% better than the RTX 4070 that it replaces and the performance gap widens in games that support <a href="https://www.ign.com/articles/dlss-4-explained-everything-you-need-to-know-about-nvidias-latest-ai-upscaling-tech">DLSS 4.5</a> and multi-frame generation. Despite its thin profile, the Razer Blade 14 can play most games at 60fps or higher even sy 2.5K resolution, although extremely high demand games like Cyberpunk 2077 will require some graphics settings adjustment to get there.</p><p><aside><h3>How to Follow IGN Deals Recommendations</h3><p><p><p>The IGN Deals team has over 30 years of combined experience finding the best discounts and preorders available online.

We’ve counted up the votes, and one champion has officially been crowned: Mighty Strike Freedom.</p><a href="https://assets-prd.ignimgs.com/2026/05/15/igngundamhathaway-finals-winner-mightystrike-1778870603030.png"><img src="https://assets-prd.ignimgs.com/2026/05/15/igngundamhathaway-finals-winner-mightystrike-1778870603030.png" class="null" title="undefined"/></a><p>Introduced in Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Freedom, Mighty Strike Freedom is a combo of the Strike Freedom Gundam Type II and the Proud Defender support craft. The Proud Defender acts as the unit’s backpack, has offensive and defensive capabilities, and allows use of the Disruptor beam cannon and Futsunomitama sword.</p><p>It came into being when the Strike Freedom II piloted by Kira Yamato was on the verge of defeat. It was saved just in the nick of time, and Lacus Clyne arrived shortly after with the Proud Defender. The Strike Freedom II docked with the support craft, creating the Mighty Strike Freedom. The upgraded Gundam then repelled the enemy attack, launched a counterattack, and helped put an end to the Foundation Conflict.</p><p>We held this tournament in part to celebrate the release of <a href="https://www.gundamhathawaytickets.com/?utm_source=ign&utm_campaign=GundamHathawayTSONC&utm_medium=partner"><u>Mobile Suit Gundam Hathaway: The Sorcery of Nymph Circe</u></a>, which just came out in U.S. theaters today. It’s the second chapter of the Mobile Suit Gundam Hathaway trilogy and follows the anti-government group MAFTY, led by protagonist Hathaway Noa, in its revolution seeking to overthrow the Earth Federation. Hathaway will have to grapple with questions like when revolutionaries become terrorists, when justice becomes extremism, and when war is worth the trauma it leaves in its wake. And as always, it features some epic mobile suit battles.</p><p>Congrats to Mighty Strike Freedom on the win, and thank you to everyone who voted.

Rolling with the momentum from the <a href="https://www.ign.com/articles/for-all-mankind-season-5-episode-7-review-the-sirens-of-titan"><u>particularly strong episode before it</u></a>, Episode 8 is easily the high point as we near the end of the season. “Brave New World” has all the hallmarks of For All Mankind at its best: political wheeling and dealing, nailbiting and dangerous flight action, gorgeous shots of outer space (for a show predominantly set on Mars, we’ve been treated to remarkably few of these!), meaty interpersonal drama (replete with, finally, some consistently decent acting), a couple of funny in-universe cultural signifiers sprinkled in that feel meaningful to the era the show is representing, and – last but not least – a big explosion with disastrous consequences.  </p><p></p><p>Despite the collective relief of watching Kelly Baldwin (Cynthy Wu) and the Sojourner crew land on Titan, Happy Valley is feeling the squeeze on its food supply after Dev’s faction blew up the crop domes and the storage silos. But the jailed Russians, Kuragin delegate Irina Morozova (Svetlana Efremova) and Happy Valley governor Lenya Polivanov (Costa Ronin), have it on good authority that the M-6 is weeks away from dissolving, the result of the USSR and U.S. economies being in free fall due to the halted iridium shipments from Mars. With the alliance, and the Russian President Korzhenko, on the way out, Irina and Lenya can all but guarantee a more favorable outcome for the Marsies — if they can hold out for a few more weeks <em>and </em>the SDM agrees to surrender. Big decisions!</p><section data-transform="image-with-caption" data-image-url="https://assets-prd.ignimgs.com/2026/05/15/for-all-mankind-photo-050804-1778870679518.jpg" data-image-title="Svetlana Efremova and Costa Ronin in For All Mankind Season 5" data-image-class="article-image-full-size" data-image-link="https://assets-prd.ignimgs.com/2026/05/15/for-all-mankind-photo-050804-1778870679518.jpg" data-caption="Svetlana%20Efremova%20and%20Costa%20Ronin%20in%20For%20All%20Mankind%20%7C%20Credit%3A%20Apple%20TV" /></section><p>Another wrinkle complicating things: Irina has also learned that, in a last-ditch effort to strong-arm Happy Valley into submission, Earth has secretly sent a multinational military crew to the Goldilocks asteroid to retake Kuznetsov Station. On that ship is none other than <a href="https://www.ign.com/articles/for-all-mankind-creators-explain-returning-to-the-apple-tv-series-most-troubled-family"><u>new OPEF recruit Avery “AJ” Jarrett</u></a> (Ines Asserson). (Not to mention Connor Storrie doing a Russian accent for five seconds!? What in the Heated Rivalry crossover event is happening?)</p><p></p><p>The SDM council’s chess move against the incoming force is to destroy the dock at the station with unstable, Anarchist Cookbook-style fertilizer bombs, given their limited resources. Celia Boyd (Mireille Enos) and Lenya do the coolest thing either of them have done all season and volunteer to fly a hopper – with a cargo full of volatile explosives in a raging dust and thunder storm – out from Mars and up to Goldilocks. It’s a truly thrilling sequence that also leads us to some of the nicest space eye candy we’ve been treated to in a minute, as that hopper punches through a sea of rust-colored dust and the camera pulls back to a full shot of Mars before moving off to a thoroughly pock-marked Goldilocks dotted with flood lights and mining infrastructure. A lovely bit of emotional (and certainly expensive) visual storytelling.</p><p></p><p>And indeed, it’s a pivotal episode for AJ, whose attempts at keeping it together while being haunted by the big red dot of Mars — and her biological dad — are altogether shattered by the explosion on Kuznetsov Station that kills Sergeant Ruiz. It’s like the moment she left Earth’s atmosphere, that woman was destined to face unfathomably awful things – the curse of being a Stevens.</p><section data-transform="image-with-caption" data-image-url="https://assets-prd.ignimgs.com/2026/05/15/for-all-mankind-photo-050806-jpg-photo-modal-show-home-large-1778870732964.jpg" data-image-title="for all mankind season 5 titan crew" data-image-class="article-image-full-size" data-image-link="https://assets-prd.ignimgs.com/2026/05/15/for-all-mankind-photo-050806-jpg-photo-modal-show-home-large-1778870732964.jpg" data-caption="The%20Titan%20crew%20(minus%20Walt)%20%7C%20Credit%3A%20Apple%20TV" /></section><p>Elsewhere on Happy Valley, Alex (Sean Kaufman) and Lily’s (Ruby Cruz) honeymoon phase is waning as they weather the fallout of the agri-dome explosion and the death of their close friend Gulsora “Gully” Akilmatova. Alex has gone the route of joining the new law enforcement services under Boyd as a medic, which Lily hates. And Lily is roiling, swearing off ever going back to Earth (what about journalism school at Tulane?!). Instead, she channels her anger  into finishing Gully’s black-and-white student thesis film, “Astéroïde, Mon Amour” — I’m sorry, but lmao — with her own documentarian bent, filming a Marsie worker who writes protest folk songs. Pretty good tune, though! </p><p></p><p>Meanwhile on Titan, Kelly is trying to keep the crew on track with troubleshooting the real problems at hand. They’ve landed just a little too far from the initial survey area, making on-the-ground exploring with their oxygen reserves potentially risky. While Kelly and the others attempt to hack out a solution, Walt (Christopher Denham) is spiraling out over where he went wrong when trying to avoid landing on Titan. Kelly very nearly comes clean about her sabotage — until he hands her the reins to the mission. Let’s see if she can throw enough compliments and jangle metaphorical keys long enough to keep Walt from losing it while they’re on the very important quest for life on Saturn’s moon.</p><p></p></section>]]></content:encoded><media:content height="1080" type="image/jpeg" url="https://assets-prd.ignimgs.com/2026/05/15/for-all-mankind-photo-050807-jpg-photo-modal-show-home-large-1778871141621.jpg" width="1920"/><media:thumbnail>https://assets-prd.ignimgs.com/2026/05/15/for-all-mankind-photo-050807-jpg-photo-modal-show-home-large-1778871141621.jpg</media:thumbnail><dc:creator>Leanne Butkovic</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Amazon Launches Its Memorial Day Sale a Full Week Earlier Than Expected]]></title><link>https://www.ign.com/articles/amazon-memorial-day-sale-2026-launches-early</link><description><![CDATA[Memorial Day weekend isn't this weekend; it's next weekend.

Amazon has launched its sale earlier than competitors like Target and Walmart, so the prices are likely to get more competitive starting next week.</p><p>In the meantime, the one thing that is definitely worth buying right now is Amazon devices. In pretty much every Amazon sale, it&#39;s Amazon&#39;s own devices that get the steepest discounts. For this year, that includes price cuts on smart security cameras, smart speakers, and <a href="https://www.ign.com/articles/fire-tv-device-comparison">Fire TV sticks</a>. Unfortunately, none of the <a href="https://www.ign.com/wikis/kindle/Latest_Models">latest Kindle devices</a> are included in the sale at this time.</p><p>The other thing to consider checking out now is <a href="https://www.ign.com/wikis/amazon-prime/How_to_Find_Amazon_Coupons">Amazon&#39;s Lightning Deals page</a>. These are discounts that are only available for a limited-time window and will often go out of stock quickly. You don&#39;t need to be a Prime Member to take advantage of most of these discounts, but there are some Prime-exclusives you won&#39;t be able to access without a subscription.</p><h3>Should you wait for Prime Day?</h3><p><a href="https://www.ign.com/events/memorial-day-sales">Memorial Day sales</a> are a great time to buy stuff at a discount, but it&#39;s not the biggest sale event of 2026 by any means. Amazon recently revealed that <a href="https://www.ign.com/articles/amazon-confirms-a-major-change-to-prime-day-dates-this-year">Prime Day would be in June this year</a>, which is earlier than it&#39;s been in a really long time. In general, <a href="https://www.ign.com/events/amazon-prime-day">Amazon&#39;s Prime Day</a> sale will have better discounts on <em>most</em> items compared to Memorial Day, but will exist in a much smaller time frame. If you can wait to make a major purchase, we&#39;d generally suggest waiting for that sale.</p><p>It is worth noting, however, that Prime Day is a <a href="https://www.ign.com/wikis/amazon-prime/Exclusive_Sales_Events">Prime-exclusive sales event</a>. That means the majority of the discounts will only actually be available to Prime members during the sale. Other major retailers like Best Buy and Walmart tend to have competing sales during this time, though, so there will be other places to shop for non-Prime members.</p><section data-transform="poll" data-id="586cbf99-ed24-4d24-8af0-ba697d02fd1f"></section><p></p><section data-transform="divider"></section><p><em>Jacob Kienlen is a Senior Audience Development Strategist and Writer for IGN.

It&#39;s modeled after a multiplayer setup screen, with each week&#39;s opponent listed as if it was a multiplayer map. They appear to have even hired Halo multiplayer announcer Jeff Steitzer (or a fantastic soundalike) to do callouts for each week, such as &quot;Beast Mode&quot; for the Seahawks matchup in Week 4, complete with a faux Pike Place Market level.

The former Superman actor, who is a huge fan of Games Workshop’s tabletop wargame and is set to star in the Warhammer 40,000 Cinematic Universe for Amazon, was chatting with fans during a break from filming Highlander in Poland, when he was presented with a special gift from a local store owner: a Custodes box.</p><p>For the uninitiated, the Adeptus Custodes are a popular faction within Warhammer 40,000. In the lore, they are the Emperor’s bodyguard, more powerful even than the genetically enhanced Space Marines, resplendent in their gold armor and devoted to protecting the leader of the Imperium of Man. Cavill has spoken of his love of the Custodes before, posting clips on his social media showing off his painting skills — and even leaving books for the Horus Heresy tabletop game strewn about on his table for <a href="https://www.ign.com/articles/wait-does-henry-cavills-highlander-leg-injury-social-media-post-hide-3-separate-warhammer-40000-amazon-tv-show-easter-eggs">a photo showing his recovery from a leg injury sustained while filming Highlander</a>.</p><p>And so a Custodes box (specifically, the Warhammer Horus Heresy: Legio Custodes Battle Group box) madce for a fitting gift for Cavill, given to him by a games store owner in Lodz, Poland. In a <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/Warhammer40k/comments/1tdnoqf/comment/olwu9vy/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button">reddit post</a>, store owner BenzOC called it was “a great experience,” and said he wanted Cavill “to have some nice Warhammer memories from our city.” According to BenzOC, Cavill was “very pleased with the present,” and based on the actor’s smile captured in the photo, below, that’s quite the understatement.</p><div class="reddit-embed-wrapper"><blockquote class="reddit-embed-bq" style="height:500px" data-embed-height="740">

Games Workshop itself has cautioned fans not to expect to see anything of it for some time, even now, over three years after the deal was announced.</p><p>Fans have spent the last few years in a state of enduring excitement about the prospect of finally seeing Warhammer 40,000 brought to life in live-action form across films and TV shows — and with Cavill steering the ship, they’re confident it will be done right.</p><section data-transform="ignvideo" data-slug="would-henry-cavill-be-in-a-warhammer-show" data-loop=""></section><p>Hopefully we&#39;ll get some details, including who Cavill himself will play, soon.

But, he insisted, he was loving the challenge. Bringing Warhammer to life &quot;is a dream come true,&quot; Cavill said, &quot;but it&#39;s different from what I&#39;ve done before, in the sense I haven&#39;t had my hand on the tiller of things before. It&#39;s wonderful doing that. It is a tricky IP, and a very complex IP, and that&#39;s what I love about it. The challenges that come with putting this on the page in a way that is doing justice to that complexity, that trickiness, and that nuance, is a challenge I&#39;m enjoying enormously.&quot; </p><p>But Warhammer 40,000 wasn’t the only thing Cavill is famous for that followed him all the way to the Highlander shoot in Poland. Another fan said that he was given a script of a The Witcher spinoff book, too.</p><div class="reddit-embed-wrapper"><blockquote class="reddit-embed-bq" data-embed-height="596">

Few people are willing to invest that much into a gaming headset no matter how amazing it might be. I&#39;ve rarely seen any discounts for the Nova Elite since it was released back in November 2025, but thanks to a <a href="https://zdcs.link/aR7lxy">new Amazon Resale coupon</a> that popped up today, there&#39;s a huge discount today that brings the cost much more in line with the competition.</p><p>For a <em>very</em> limited time, Amazon Resale is offering a <a href="https://zdcs.link/QOjmK8">used &quot;Like New&quot; Steelseries Arctis Nova Elite</a> wireless gaming headset for PlayStation, Xbox, and PC for just $415.82 shipped after an extra 15% off discount applied during checkout.

In short, nothing else compares.</p><aside><p><strong></strong><a href="https://www.ign.com/articles/steelseries-arctis-nova-elite-review"><strong>SteelSeries Arctis Nova Elite Review</strong></a><strong> by Will Judd</strong></p><p>&quot;The SteelSeries Arctis Nova Elite is the best gaming headset that I&#39;ve ever tested, offering small, meaningful, and multi-faceted upgrades over the already-excellent Arctis Nova Pro Wireless. As with that model, the key to success here is delivering industry-leading or at least competitive quality in almost every element: audio quality, mic quality, comfort, connectivity, design, software, and features. If you want the ultimate gaming headset at any price – an all-in-one offering that works brilliantly across PC, consoles, and mobile – this is what I&#39;d recommend.&quot;</p></aside><p>The discounted price of $416 isn&#39;t exactly &quot;cheap&quot;, but nearly $200 in savings is nothing to scoff at. At this price, it&#39;s comparable to Steelseries&#39; more mainstream offerings like the <a href="https://www.ign.com/articles/steelseries-arctis-nova-pro-wireless">Arctis Nova Pro</a> and the newer <a href="https://www.ign.com/articles/steelseries-arctis-nova-pro-omni-headset-review">Arctis Nova Pro Omni</a>, but this headset is far and away superior to either.

It&#39;s unclear if the Xbox racer is on a path to attract even higher player counts today or through the weekend, but there&#39;s a pretty good chance we&#39;ll at least see that number go up when its official release date rolls in next week.</p><section data-transform="ignvideo" data-slug="forza-horizon-6-driving-across-the-entire-map-and-back-again" data-loop=""></section><p>Steam, which represents just one slice of the platform pie that makes up the Forza Horizon 6 player base, currently ranks the open-world racing game at number two on <a href="https://store.steampowered.com/charts/topselling/global"><u>its list of top-selling games globally</u></a>.<a href="https://www.ign.com/games/subnautica-2"> <u>Subnautica 2</u></a>, which launched yesterday to <a href="https://www.ign.com/articles/subnautica-2-is-already-making-waves-selling-2-million-copies-in-just-12-hours"><u>even more impressive stats</u></a>, is the only game above it.</p><p>Five years after Xbox and Playground took players to their version of Mexico with the last installment, Forza Horizon 6 finally lets drivers loose in streets inspired by locations in Japan.

Players can cruise around a highly detailed, stylized and condensed version of the country, taking in everything from downtown Tokyo, famous landmarks, and scenic country roads in all seasons as they test their mettle against other racers. </p><p>The game also rewards you with experience points for letting out that road rage by smashing your car into other vehicles or your surroundings. However, <a href="https://www.japantimes.co.jp/life/2026/05/14/digital/forza-horizon-6-video-game-racing-japan-new/"><u>The Japan Times’ recent interview</u></a> with design director Torben Ellert revealed that while you can destroy most things in Forza 6 by crashing into them (whether on purpose or because you understeered on a hairpin bend), culturally important things like shrines, temples, and cherry trees are indestructible.</p><p>“Almost all trees in the game are smashable to ensure that traversing the world map is both fun and rewarding,” Ellert explains. “However, several tree types are not — for example, the cherry blossom trees — because they’re an iconic element of Japanese culture. Certain temples or other cultural elements are also excluded so that players aren’t tempted to drive through shrines or locations of cultural importance.”</p><section data-transform="slideshow" data-slug="forza-horizon-6-review-screenshots" data-value="forza-horizon-6-review-screenshots" data-type="slug" data-caption=""></section><p>Cherry blossoms are historically and culturally important in Japan, often appearing as a key symbol in Japanese literature, art, and poetry. Their pink blossoms are a sign of rebirth and the coming of spring, but also a reminder of how fleeting life is. In ancient times, farmers made offerings and held feasts underneath the cherry trees in the hope that the spirits of the fields would bring a good harvest. In the 800s, the emperor and nobles also kicked off a tradition of holding parties to admire the cherry blossoms. These traditions have evolved into modern day <em>hanami</em> — cherry blossom viewing parties where people have picnics under the trees and enjoy the blossoms.</p><p>Cherry blossom trees in real life can be easily damaged. Tampering with or shaking the branches of cherry blossom trees in public parks is punishable by fines in Japan. Furthermore, some of the countries’ oldest trees are over 1,000 years old and protected as natural treasures by the government (like <a href="https://visitgifu.com/see-do/usuzumi-zakura-cherry-tree/"><u>Uozumi Zakura in Gifu)</u></a>. Consideration for their cultural importance explains why UK studio Playground Games decided to make cherry trees invincible in Forza Horizon 6.</p><section data-transform="ignvideo" data-slug="forza-horizon-6-everything-you-need-to-know-before-you-play" data-loop=""></section><p>As for shrines and temples, last year, Assassins Creed Shadows received heavy pre-release backlash in Japan due to a preview that showed that players could smash up shrines. Ubisoft addressed this in a <a href="https://www.ign.com/articles/amid-japan-concern-about-assassins-creed-shadows-ubisoft-confirms-day-one-patch-that-makes-tables-and-racks-in-temples-and-shrines-indestructible"><u>day-one patch</u></a> that made shrine objects indestructible and prevented unarmed NPCs from bleeding when attacked (thus preventing bloodshed on sacred grounds). Forza Horizon 6’s devs have opted to be culturally sensitive regarding what the player can do to religious and cultural sites.</p><p>“Japan has been on our shortlist for several games now,” Ellert told <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/games/2026/may/15/how-forza-horizon-took-on-japan-with-deep-research-and-360-degree-cameras"><u>The Guardian</u></a>. “But we just didn’t feel like we were ready to take on the challenge of building it.” The team conducted in-depth research for the game, right down to the smallest details, hiring experts including cultural consultant and former Porsche ambassador Kyoko Yamashita to advise on their depiction of Japan and its racing scene. “Because it’s a culture we see a lot, there’s a temptation to think you know it better than you do, which is why we tried really hard to get people to course correct us if we were drifting,” added Ellert.</p><p>While those who pre-ordered the premium edition of Forza Horizon 6 are already burning rubber, the game officially releases on PS5, Xbox Series X/S and PC on May 19.

They can come in handy for recording accidents when nobody wants to take the blame, or for monitoring your parked car from unwanted bumps and bruises while you&#39;re out and about, or simply for capturing videos of your next scenic roadtrip from a unique perspective. Nowadays high quality dashcams don&#39;t have to be expensive, nor do they require a professional to install.</p><p>Wolfbox is a well-known brand amongst the dashcam community.  It&#39;s popular because it offers high quality products at an accessible price. As part of its early Memorial Day Sale, Amazon is offering a <a href="https://zdcs.link/98A067">Wolfbox X3 Pro</a> front and rear 2.5K dashcam bundle for just $119.99 with free shipping after you apply coupon code &quot;<strong>WBX3PRO20</strong>&quot;.

Both front and rear cameras are equipped with the Sony STARVIS 2 IMX675 image sensor, which is well-regarded for its impressive low-light performance and is usually found on more expensive dashcams. The front camera also employs electronic (digital) image stabilization to compensate for vibrations.</p><p>Installation is pretty easy. Power is supplied via a USB-C adapter cable that plugs into an available cigarette lighter or 12V DC power outlet. The two cameras are also connected via another USB-C cable, and the kit includes a plastic trim tool to help you route it discreetly within your car panels. The cameras are mounted to the windshields via a simple bracket. A 64GB memory card is also included so you can get up and running without purchasing any additional accessories.</p><p>The dashcam connects to a smartphone app via 5.8GHz WiFi. From there you have control over a plethora of features, including advanced driver assistance alerts (ADAS), loop recording, parking surveillance, and more. Alternatively, you can configure the dashcam using the touchscreen interface or with voice control. Wolfbox includes a 1 year warranty.</p><p><aside><h3>How to Follow IGN Deals Recommendations</h3><p><p><p>The IGN Deals team has over 30 years of combined experience finding the best discounts and preorders available online.

Because the seat is deeper than your standard chair, some people (particularly older folks) might have trouble getting out of it. That&#39;s where the power lift feature comes in handy. The Latitude Run helps by tilting foward almost as if it&#39;s literally dumping you out of your seat. This feature actually works very well and is the main reason why power lift chairs are so popular for people with limited mobility.</p><p>In addition to the power lifting, the Latitude Run can power recline. Both the seatback and leg rest extend out to about 150 degrees. According to the spec sheet, the chair also has eight separate massage points as well as a central heating element that you can adjust with the included remote. At this price point, I wouldn&#39;t expect the zones to be very precise, but a heat-emitting vibrating chair can still feel good regardless.</p><p>I haven&#39;t tried this chair out myself, but I&#39;m tempted to get one for dad since Father&#39;s Day is only about a month away. It does have over 1,800 user reviews with a 4.3 star rating. It&#39;s &quot;Wayfair verified&quot; and Wayfair is one of the largest online-only furniture retailers in the United States. It does comes with a 30-day return policy and 60-day warranty, although I figure the hassle of returning this outweighs the benefits. You have to make sure you want it.</p><aside><h3>How to Follow IGN Deals Recommendations</h3><p>The IGN Deals team has over 30 years of combined experience finding the best discounts and preorders available online.

The highly-rated <a href="https://zdcs.link/z7RxW7">Asus ROG Flow Z13</a> gaming laptop with 64GB of RAM has dropped in price from $2,900 all the way down to $2,049.99 with free shipping. Likewise, <a href="https://zdcs.link/9wBy2D">open box models</a> have also been discounted and you can get one in &quot;excellent condition&quot; for $1,757.99. This is yet another $100 price drop compared to the deal last weekend (and that one was already a hot seller).The Asus Flow Z13 (in tablet mode) isn&#39;t that much bigger than a handheld gaming PC, but it boasts way better gaming performance that rivals full-sized laptops.</p><h2>Save Up to $1,150 Off the Powerful Asus ROG Flow Z13 Laptop</h2><section data-transform="catalog-item-wrapper" data-catalogid="da2afac9-ed5d-4369-8159-105fe0d04b60" data-id="238597"><section data-transform="catalog-item" data-catalogid="da2afac9-ed5d-4369-8159-105fe0d04b60" data-id="238597" data-show-pricing="true" data-highlighted="false"></section><p></p></section><section data-transform="catalog-item-wrapper" data-catalogid="da2afac9-ed5d-4369-8159-105fe0d04b60" data-id="238598"><section data-transform="catalog-item" data-catalogid="da2afac9-ed5d-4369-8159-105fe0d04b60" data-id="238598" data-show-pricing="true" data-highlighted="false"></section><p>The Asus ROG Flow Z13 is a 13.4&quot; 2-in-1 convertible laptop that weighs in at only 2.65 pounds. The keyboard can be detached so that the Z13 can also be used as a tablet. A premium laptop deserves premium build quality, and the Flow Z13 doesn&#39;t disappoint with a blacked out CNC aluminum alloy chassis and Corning Gorilla Glass Victus screen protection. But really though, it&#39;s the internal components that make this laptop truly special.</p><p>This particular configuration is equipped with a 13.4&quot; 2560x1600 180Hz IPS display, AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395 CPU with AMD Radeon 8060S iGPU, 64GB of LPDDR5X-8000Mhz RAM, and a 1TB SSD. Thie Radeon 8060S is a technological marvel of an iGPU. It&#39;s far and away the most powerful integrated graphics solution on the market and nearly the same gaming performance as a discrete RTX 5060 mobile (faster than an RTX 4060 mobile).</p><p><a href="https://www.ign.com/articles/asus-rog-flow-z13-2025-gaming-tablet-laptop-review">We recently reviewed this laptop and highly recommend it</a>. On another note, our test sample had 32GB of RAM and was priced at $2,300. You&#39;re getting double the RAM for a lower price. Because the RAM is soldered onto the board, there&#39;s no chance to upgrade the memory capacity. That&#39;s why the 64GB of RAM preinstalled on this particular configuration is a welcome addition. RAM prices are still at an all-time high, so the fact that there&#39;s a steep discount on such a loaded system makes this deal even better than it seems.</p><aside><p><strong></strong><a href="https://www.ign.com/articles/asus-rog-flow-z13-2025-gaming-tablet-laptop-review"><strong>Asus ROG Flow Z13 Review</strong></a><strong> by Chris Coke</strong></p><p>The Asus ROG Flow Z13 is a fantastic 2-in-1 laptop-tablet for a particular kind of user, those who want that versatility with the best performance possible for productivity and gaming in this form factor – talk about multifaceted.

The system is powered by a generously oversized 1,200W power supply.</p><p>This particular configuration features an Intel Core Ultra 9 285K processor, GeForce RTX 5090 32GB graphics card, a whopping 64GB of DDR5-5600MHz of RAM, and a 2TB PCIe Gen 4 M.2 SSD. The Core Ultra 9 285K is a 24-core processor with a max turbo frequency of 5.7GHz. It&#39;s no longer the newest or best Intel CPU, but it still ranks up there as one of Intel&#39;s top performers for gaming, productivity, and AI.</p><h3>The RTX 5090 is the most powerful graphics card ever</h3><p>The <a href="https://www.ign.com/articles/nvidia-geforce-rtx-5090-founders-edition-review">Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090</a> has emerged as the most powerful consumer GPU on the market. Although with this generation Nvidia has prioritized software updates, AI features, and <a href="https://www.ign.com/articles/dlss-4-explained-everything-you-need-to-know-about-nvidias-latest-ai-upscaling-tech">DLSS 4 technology</a> to improve gameplay performance, the 5090 still boasts an impressive 25%-30% uplift over the RTX 4090 in hardware-based raster performance. If you want the absolute best performance for your gaming PC, there is literally no other option from any other brand.</p><h3>Why Choose Lenovo?</h3><p>Lenovo Legion gaming PCs and laptops generally feature better build quality than what you&#39;d find from other prebuilt PCs. For desktop PCs in particular, people like the fact that Lenovo does not use proprietary components in its computer systems, so they&#39;re easier to upgrade with off-the-shelf parts. Although we haven&#39;t yet reviewed the new 2025 models, we have reviewed last year&#39;s Legion 7i desktop and really liked its build quality and performance.</p><p><aside><h3>How to Follow IGN Deals Recommendations</h3><p>The IGN Deals team has over 30 years of combined experience finding the best discounts and preorders available online.
