Wargaming, the developer and publisher of the leading historically accurate, naval multiplayer game for console, World of Warships: Legends, is making waves with its September update. Across the month, Spain is set to be celebrated, with the introduction of new Spanish cruisers, alongside free rewards through a new in-game Calendar and card collection. The Shield of Troy campaign also begins, offering unique challenges that can be completed to earn Commonwealth Premium Tier VIII cruiser Hector. Finally, a Golden Tide event brings new ships, and the popular Chinese naval game Azur Lane returns for another collaboration.

World of Warships: Legends celebrates the arrival of Spain with new cruisers and rewards

World of Warships: Legends welcomes a new nation, as Spain sails onto the high seas with new cruisers available via the Tech Tree line. By completing the Tech Tree line and earning Spanish Cruiser crates, several Tier I – VIII ships can be unlocked, including Júpiter, Navarra, Almirante Cervera, Galicia, Baleares, Asturias, Cataluña, and Andalucía, with a Legendary Tier ship on the horizon. Crates can be earned by completing the Shield of Troy campaign or Armada Española Collection – a card collection that celebrates the Spanish Navy and can be completed by earning Armada Española Collection crates.

A brand-new Calendar docks into Legends known as Bound by Duty, which also offers the opportunity to earn Spanish Cruiser crates. Across three weeks, players can complete daily tasks to earn crates, Commander Progression Items, and Spanish Commander Pascual Cervera y Topete. This new Commander comes equipped with Enduring Spirit, ensuring a damage reduction on all incoming damage. Pascual also has two unique skills under the guise of Forewarned Command, which reduces the cruiser’s main battery reload time when detected, and Honorable Sacrifice, a legendary skill that increases the number of shells in the cruiser’s Ready Rack.

Shield of Troy campaign brings a premium cruiser to the high seas

September will see the Shield of Troy campaign set to begin in World of Warships: Legends, with eighty milestones for players to reach. By progressing through, players can earn a bounty of rewards, including credits, camouflages, boosters, experience, and the aforementioned Spanish Cruiser crates. Those who complete the campaign with Admiralty Backing active can also receive Commonwealth premium Tier VIII cruiser Hector, alongside Commonwealth Commander Harold B. Farncomb.

New ships arrive in the Golden Tides event and Azur Lane returns

Inspired by the rich cultural heritage of the Middle East and North Africa, a Golden Tides event arrives in World of Warships: Legends. Across the September update, players can earn new ships via the store and Sunduq crates, including German Legendary Tier destroyer Sharki, Soviet Tier VIII Premium battleship Mahtaga, Italian Tier VII Premium cruiser Mirage, U.S. Tier VI Premium battleship Kheper, and Japanese Tier IV Premium cruiser Desert Falcon. Alongside the ships, several new Commander guises can also be earned via Sunduq crates, such as Lucky Rami, Zarion Safir, and Khalzar the Sunblade.

And speaking of parkour and combat – to make Dying Light: The Beast the most realistic, challenging, and exciting game in the series, we focused on core gameplay mechanics appreciated by players. What has changed?

Parkour – immersive, grounded, realistic

Players can go anywhere and climb anything, with grounded and realistic movement.
In-game physics tweaked for correct jump height/length; floatiness removed.
Total freedom to find multiple paths encourages exploration.
Stamina does not limit climbing, but observation is needed to reach hard spots.
No helpers – parkour is a skill to master for survival and escaping zombies.
Over 100 new animations for Kyle Crane, including 17 unique edge climbing moves.

Combat – physical, brutal, creative

Weapon strikes analyzed precisely; swing/stop timings balanced for impact.
The new physics engine applies hit impulses accurately; realistic reactions with active ragdoll + short animations.
Human enemies use advanced AI and cover mechanics, with up to 22 strategies for positioning.
Player feedback emphasized: Kyle stabilizes recoil quickly, melee hits feel heavy.
Damage model allows destruction of at least 12 enemy body parts; visible wounds doubled compared to previous games.

But that’s not all! Watch the dev diary with Kacper Kowalczuk – Technical Game Director, Marcin Bahryn-Kamiński – Senior Animator, and Tymon Smektała – Dying Light Franchise Director, who share even more juicy details.

HIDIZS Unveils AP80 PRO MAX All-In-One Hi-Res Streaming Music Player

2025/09/06

Jerry Paxton

Geek News, News, Tech News

Global HiFi audio brand HIDIZS, who have made their mark among loyal fans with their robust catalog of affordably priced high-end audio equipment and their unique industrial design inspirations and materials, are expanding their reach further with the release of the new AP80 PRO MAX All-in-One Hi-Res Streaming Music Player. Portable Hi-Res streaming music players are often priced beyond the reach of most listeners. Why pay so much when you can just stream music with your smartphone and TWS earbuds? This is where the AP80 PRO MAX changes everything — an affordable, pocket-sized HiFi player that puts true high-resolution music right in your hands.
With built-in 2.4GHz WiFi, you can stream high resolution audio directly from platforms like Tidal and Qobuz — no downloads, no latency, no compromises. More than just a streaming device, the AP80 PRO MAX is a complete portable music companion: enjoy lossless playback via microSD card, connect wirelessly through Bluetooth, or instantly enhance your existing headphones with its powerful DAC/AMP features.

AP80 PRO MAX Key Features

Ultra Hi-Fidelity Audio: Dual ESS ES9219C DACs deliver up to 32bit/384kHz PCM audio, MQA 16X hardware decoding, and native DSD 64/128/256
Wireless HiFi Networking: 2.4GHz WiFi with support for DLNA & AirPlay, and Bluetooth 5.1 with Apt-X, LDAC, HiBy UAT, and HiBy Link codecs
Premium Quality Industrial Design: HD touchscreen, CNC unibody aluminum chassis, and both 4.4mm balanced and 3.5mm single-ended connections
Versatility and Customizability: HiBy OS + MSEB audio tuning board for sound customization, E-book functionality, and high capacity microSD storage options

Building upon the proven success of the earlier AP80 Pro-X, this new and improved version boasts 2.4GHz WiFi capabilities, making streaming and remote library access easier than ever before. Audiophiles with higher impedance headphones will be enticed by the 340mW of balanced power output with balanced 4.4mm and 3.5mm single-ended connection options included. The industrial design features a similar attention to quality with its CNC unibody aluminum chassis that feels great to hold, and the responsive and vibrant 2.95-inch 480×640 HD Touchscreen.

From an audio fidelity standpoint, the AP80 PRO MAX is top of its class. Sporting dual ESS ES9219C DAC chips from SABRE, widely regarded as the gold standard for digital-to-analog converter technology, the AP80 PRO MAX supports extremely high resolution audio up to 32bit 384kHz. This technology makes it more than up to the task of handling the multitude of high resolution audio codecs supported onboard including DSD, MQA, Apt-X, LDAC, and more. Users who prefer to store their high-resolution audio files locally will enjoy expanded storage capacity via microSD card.

The AP80 PRO MAX will be sold for $189 retail, an astounding value for the amount of utility and quality packed into the device, though long-term fans of HIDIZS won’t be surprised by the amount of value to be found here. The product launches on Kickstarter in October, with shipments expected to begin in late November. Follow HIDIZS on Instagram for the latest updates and announcements, or become a part of the community on the official HIDIZS Discord server.

HiFi For Everyone: An Expanded Lineup

In the HiFi ecosystem where Brand drives price just as much as sound quality, HIDIZS has taken a more egalitarian approach. Inspired by the belief that everyone deserves to have access to the highest quality listening experiences and driven by the ambition of being the premiere supplier of those experiences, HIDIZS has already created a diverse and robust catalog that includes everything from DACs, Amps, Portable Media Players, audiophile In-Ears, and more. This year they are poised to expand that catalog even further with a complete lineup ranging from entry-level to flagship HiFi gear including the AP80 PRO MAX, the MK12 Ultra Titanium Gold-Plated Diaphragm Dynamic IEMs, and the MK10 ArcSonics IEMs which are launching in mid-September. And that’s just the start; CanJam SoCal 2025 attendees will have the opportunity to sample HDIZS’s upcoming Q4 lineup which promises exciting new offerings including a Bluetooth DAC & Headphone Amplifier.
