Logitech G, a brand of Logitech (SIX: LOGN) (NASDAQ: LOGI) and a leading innovator of gaming and sim racing technologies and gear, today announced the launch of the Logitech G522 Gaming Headset, a new addition to its award-winning G5 series, designed to elevate both gameplay and personal expression.
Logitech G announces the new Logitech G522 Gaming Headset, an addition to its award-winning G5 series, designed to elevate both gameplay and personal expression.
“G522 was made for gamers who bring passion and personality to everything they do,” said Ujesh Desai, vice president and general manager of Logitech G. “Whether you’re climbing the ranks, streaming for your audience, or pulling all-night gaming sessions, the G522 ups your game with top-tier performance, features, and style.”
G522 builds on the strong foundation of the widely popular Logitech G733 headset, carrying its legacy further while introducing an exciting evolution. At first glance, the family resemblance is clear, but as you look closer, the G522 reveals a fresh, elevated design. It’s all about progression – sleeker curves, a more sophisticated silhouette, and thoughtful design choices that reflect a modern take on performance and style. The sharper edges of the G733 have been transitioned into smooth, flowing lines showcasing a refined aesthetic.
“The G522 headset is the result of meticulous craftsmanship and a relentless attention to detail, every element is intentionally designed to deliver a curated, premium experience,” said Ahmed Riaz, Head of Design at Logitech G. “It builds on a proven formula for success that’s become synonymous with our G5 Series products, combining precision engineering with a deep understanding of what today’s gamers value most.”
G5 Series gamers play a wide variety of games. As a result, the new G522 headset had to perform to the level of the most discerning core gamers and be flexible enough to work seamlessly across all genres and types of gameplay.
Designed for long sessions, G522 delivers a significant leap forward in comfort, engineered with community feedback at its core. The ear cups have been redesigned with a wider shape and an added layer of memory foam to enhance cushioning and cooling, wrapped in a new fabric that’s both softer and more durable. A reversible suspension band now rests flatter and more evenly across the head, with added ridges to increase breathability and upgraded materials for extended durability. To ensure all-day comfort for every gamer, our player fit tests included individuals who wear glasses or earrings, making the G522 a headset built for everyone.
At the heart of the headset are new synchronized PRO-G drivers that deliver Logitech G’s highest-fidelity, paired with 48 kHz/24-bit digital signal processing for unparalleled immersion and precision. Gamers can hear subtle in-game cues—like distant footsteps or weapon reloads—with crystal clarity.
Communication is critical in competitive and online play, and the G522’s 48 kHz/16-bit microphone, enhanced by BLUE VO!CE technology ensures your voice cuts through the chaos. Customize your microphone audio with real-time filters and effects, delivering a professional sound for every session.
The G522 offers tri-mode connectivity, allowing seamless switching between LIGHTSPEED wireless, Bluetooth, and USB-C. It’s built for fluid transitions between platforms, PC, console, and mobile, without the lag or hassle.
G HUB software and the Logitech G mobile app allow gamers to fine-tune their audio with a 10-band EQ, personalize LIGHTSYNC RGB, adjust mic settings, and save up to three custom profiles directly to the headset.
Continuing Logitech G’s commitment to reducing environmental impact, the G522 is crafted with 27% post-consumer recycled plastic and low-carbon aluminum, aligning performance with purpose.
Availability
The Logitech G522 Gaming Headset is available now in black and white at LogitechG.com and select retailers worldwide for a suggested retail price of USD 159.99.

Today, Ubisoft revealed Anno 117: Pax Romana’s first gameplay details as the genre-defining builder franchise returns with its most ambitious installment yet and one of the biggest games ever made about the Roman Empire.
Players will embark in journey as a freshly appointed governor, sent by the Emperor to build and lead several provinces across the Empire, from the beautiful heartlands of Latium to the mysterious Celtic wetlands of Albion, where no civilized Roman wants to be. Anno 117: Pax Romana will launch in Winter of 2025 simultaneously on PlayStation®5, Xbox Series X | S, Amazon Luna, as well as Windows PC through Steam, the Epic Games Store, and Ubisoft Connect.
BECOME A LEGENDARY ROMAN GOVERNOR
Players will be able to build the cities of their dreams during the height of the Roman Empire. From where to place their starting villa to how diligently they send taxes back to Rome, players must balance their people’s needs with their emperor’s demands. Cooperate with other governors through trade and diplomacy or—if they prefer—prove their military prowess by challenging rivals with strategic land battles and modular naval combat. They may even defy the Emperor himself—but not without consequences.
CHOOSE THE FATE OF YOUR PROVINCES
Every choice players make as governor matters. Will players embrace local Celtic culture or impose Roman traditions? From architectural styles to which gods to worship, the degree to which players Romanize their provinces is up to them. Will they foster growth through diplomacy and deep economic ties or expand their territory through military might? And will they loyally serve the Emperor or foment rebellion? Their decisions will shape not only the future of their citizens and their provinces, but their own story as well.
EXPERIENCE THE PREMIER BUILDER GAME
Players build their provinces with unprecedented scale, detail, and flexibility. From kids chasing dogs through the streets to thousands cheering on the spectacles of the colosseum, players will take their provinces from a single settlement to multiple eternal cities across several provinces. From islands on the horizon to distant mountains, players can build upon almost any terrain they see— all with a graphical quality that is the benchmark for the genre.
Developed by Ubisoft Mainz, Anno 117: Pax Romana is a premiere builder game in which every facet of your city can be controlled; and how players will choose to build and govern will shape their story, their citizens’ destiny, and their provinces’ future. In this immersive and authentic world, where the cost of peace is for players to decide.
Anno 117: Pax Romana will be released in winter of 2025 with cross-play and cross-progression on PlayStation®5, Xbox Series X | S, Amazon Luna as well as Windows PC through Steam, the Epic Games Store and Ubisoft Connect.

Modiphius Entertainment has today launched a new core rulebook for its miniature skirmish game, Fallout: Factions, which is now available from its webstore.
This rulebook expands the game’s available factions from the Battle for Nuka-World starter set, which featured the three raider gangs from Fallout 4’s popular DLC. The new hardback rulebook contains everything players need to know to fight for the Wasteland, teaching them the rules of play, the in-depth campaign system, and showcasing the iconic factions of Fallout from the Brotherhood of Steel and super mutants to survivors and raiders. Combined with the Fallout: Factions ‘Battle for Nuka-World’ Starter Set, or the Fallout: Factions – Tokens and Terrain Pack 1 (coming soon), players will have everything they need to pick a faction and start their journey to rule their corner of the Wasteland.
Available for £30 / $37 from the Modiphius webstore, the 112-page full-colour hardcover Fallout: Factions Core Rulebook features:
An introduction to wargaming, and all you’ll need to play Fallout: Factions.
The core rules you need to play the fast-playing, high-risk, high-reward tabletop skirmish wargame.
How to set up a game, with an overview of the in-depth scenario system that keeps each game interesting.
The Story Phase: Details for growing your crew and ascending to legend – or what to do if you end up a footnote in another crew’s story.
Faction lists for the Brotherhood of Steel, Super Mutants, Survivors, Raiders, as well as their Weapons, Perks, Legends of the Wasteland and more.
Whilst the Fallout: Factions – ‘Battle For Nuka-World’ Starter Set is set in a small and specific area, this book gives players the tools and factions to set their campaign anywhere in the Wasteland. The games of Fallout: Factions will use the same rules, with the biggest changes affecting crews off the battlefield.
The expanded rules see four new Factions added into the game – Brotherhood of Steel, super mutants, survivors and raiders. Hazards and Facilities have also been added, allowing crews to customize their Home Turfs. Specific scenarios have been replaced with Objectives and Hazards, which can be merged into hundreds of combinations to make each game feel unique. New Legends of the Wasteland are available to hire before each game, and the story phase has been updated to make campaigns more expansive and interwoven. Plus, players will be able to upgrade weapons, purchase chems, and unlock new perks for their crew.
Stellar film, television, and video game music composer Bear McCreary follows his successful Themes & Variations concert tour of Europe with six dates in North America, starting this week at New York’s Gramercy Theatre on Thursday, May 22, Boston’s Somerville Theatre on Friday, May 23, and the 9:30 Club in Washington, DC on Sunday, May 25. Tickets and exclusive VIP Packages are currently available at https://bearmccreary.com/events/.
The Themes & Variations shows feature a mesmerizing mix of McCreary’s popular compositions ranging from several of his epic film and TV scores to metal/rock selections from his landmark album/graphic novel/experience The Singularity. McCreary and the band will continue the North American leg of the tour next week with stops at Montreal’s Théâtre Beanfield on May 27, Toronto’s Danforth Music Hall on May 28, and Chicago’s Vic Theatre on May 31.
For McCreary, best known for his beloved compositions for The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, Outlander, Battlestar Galactica, and The Walking Dead, Themes & Variations represents his maiden voyage on the concert touring circuit. Thus far the band has been hailed by adoring fans for their unforgettable performances in the UK, Poland, the Czech Republic, Germany, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Belgium, and France, and will follow the North American leg with a multi-city tour through Australia. While admittedly growing personally and professionally during this on-the-road learning experience, McCreary has also been overwhelmed by the wildly positive reaction from audiences.
“My most vivid memory onstage is picking up the hurdy-gurdy mid-set and moving to the front of the stage, when, night after night, the crowds have gone crazy,” McCreary recalls. “I am not even certain they knew what the hell the instrument was; they just knew it was time for something crazy to go down.
So far, I feel like fans of my music are having a great time no matter what particular side of my musical personality we’ve brought to the show. I hear people singing along with rock songs from The Singularity. Battlestar Galactica fans have started chanting “So Say We All!” at the top of their lungs. People have come dressed as pirates to erupt into vocals during my music from Black Sails. It seems there’s something for everybody!”
Given the immense popularity of so many of his film, TV, and video game scores, McCreary has been particularly pleased with each night’s audience feedback for one of his most recent compositions.
“The biggest surprise of the tour so far has been the reaction to ‘The End of Tomorrow,’ the climactic 10-minute song from The Singularity,” McCreary says. “From its somber cinematic opening to its epic sing-along finale, I feel engagement from the audience. As an artist, it’s truly a wonderful feeling to experience.”
While music is at the forefront of his focus, McCreary admits there are some more subtle, everyday lessons he’s come to understand as essential for life on the road.
“I have been asking all my friends who have spent their lives touring with bands for tips, and everyone has offered real, tangible advice,” McCreary says. “However, it was my friend Duff McKagan, bassist for Guns N’ Roses, who perhaps offered the most useful advice. He walked me through all his tips for dealing with dirty laundry while out on the road and, sure enough, his advice proved essential. I remember one surreal moment texting Duff a picture of my laundry and getting a wildly enthusiastic response. So, that was a surprising discovery. These are the parts of rock star life you don’t think about!”
Albion Online, the fantasy sandbox MMORPG from Sandbox Interactive, will release the new Abyssal Depths update on June 30, 2025. This update contains a major overhaul of the new player experience, making the game more accessible than ever, and introduces an entirely new PvP feature in the form of a brand-new type of dungeon. Albion Online also has a new Dev Talk video out today featuring an overview of the Abyssal Depths update with Game Director Moritz Bokelmann.
This new kind of PvP-focused dungeon is a fast-paced, high-stakes battleground pitting groups of two or three players against monsters and other player characters in a collapsing environment filled with tactical objectives, all to earn new and unique rewards.
The other main focus of the update lies in how Albion Online introduces itself to new players. One of the key changes is the integration of the post-tutorial experience into the existing Albion Journal, which now provides a much clearer and more structured guide through the early stages of the game.
Additionally, Abyssal Depths will bring UI improvements like a streamlined HUD Tracker, with additional interactive tutorial features alongside a number of quality-of-life changes to the early game flow to better reflect the Albion Online experience, especially around crafting, the Destiny Board, and the use of buildings.
