DJI, the global leader in civilian drones and creative camera technology, today unveils the Osmo Pocket 4P at Cannes, marking a new milestone in DJI’s evolution of handheld cinematic imaging. Since pioneering the gimbal camera category in 2015 and introducing one of the world’s first pocket-sized gimbal cameras in 2018, DJI has continuously redefined how creators capture motion and tell stories. Today, with the Osmo Pocket 4P, DJI is spearheading a new era of cinematic excellence in handheld gimbal systems, where professional-grade filmmaking capabilities meet true pocket-sized portability.
By unveiling the Osmo Pocket 4P at one of the most prestigious stages in global filmmaking, DJI signals a bold evolution of the Pocket series from a creator tool into a cinematic imaging device capable of professional-grade storytelling.
Built upon DJI’s legacy in professional cinematography, including its industry-defining DJI Ronin and DJI Inspire platforms, the Osmo Pocket 4P represents the convergence of high-end film technology and extreme portability. Featuring a next-generation imaging system,the Osmo Pocket 4P delivers cinematic-level dynamic range for rich tonal depth alongside 10-bit D-Log2 color performance that enables professional color grading workflows. Combined with DJI’s advanced stabilization expertise, the device brings professional cinema capabilities into a truly pocket-sized form factor, empowering creators to capture stories with unprecedented flexibility.
At Cannes, the Osmo Pocket 4P is already being explored by filmmakers, documentary creators, and visual storytellers seeking agile, high-quality production tools. Its compact form, paired with cinematic imaging performance, positions it as a compelling companion for independent filmmakers and a powerful storytelling device for documentary work. The debut at Cannes reinforces the idea that cinematic storytelling is no longer confined to large-scale rigs, but can now exist in a device small enough to carry anywhere.
The Osmo Pocket 4P introduces significant advancements designed to address real-world creator needs. Its enhanced portrait capabilities deliver natural skin tones and cinematic depth, enabling more emotionally engaging storytelling across interviews, vlogs, and narrative content. Improved zoom functionality expands creative possibilities, allowing creators to capture distant subjects while maintaining image integrity. In low-light environments, advanced sensor technology and refined imaging algorithms ensure clear, detailed footage, making it possible to shoot confidently in challenging conditions from nighttime cityscapes to indoor scenes. These innovations position the Osmo Pocket 4P as a true consumer professional imaging device, bridging the gap between accessibility and cinematic quality.
Following the global success of its predecessor, the Osmo Pocket 4P builds on a growing movement in which compact cameras are reshaping how stories are created and shared. Its Cannes debut highlights its potential to influence the future of cinematic vlogging, inspire a new generation of mobile-first filmmakers, and lead global trends in portrait-driven visual storytelling. With seamless integration into DJI’s broader creative ecosystem, including audio and stabilization solutions,the Osmo Pocket 4P enables creators to build complete, professional workflows within an ultra-portable setup.
The Osmo Pocket 4P will be available through DJI’s official channels and authorized retail partners. Pricing and configurations will be announced at a later date.
DJI’s ecosystem now spans cinema cameras, cinema drones, professional stabilizers, gimbal cameras, and portable power solutions, reflecting the company’s commitment to delivering an integrated approach to modern film and content production. At the event, the DJI Power 1000 Mini, launched in April, and the DJI Power 2000, were also showcased as power solutions for the Osmo Pocket 4P, demonstrating how DJI’s broader product ecosystem can support creators with more flexible and reliable production workflows. Together, these solutions underscore DJI’s vision of building a complete and professional creative ecosystem for storytellers.

About Prophecy Games
Prophecy Games was founded in 2019 and is led by Erez Goren, who is also the owner of Hi-Rez Studios, developers of SMITE, Paladins, Tribes: Ascend, and Rogue Company. The studio is dedicated to creating innovative, high-quality gaming experiences that push genre boundaries while delivering polished gameplay.
The night is unremarkable – until it isn’t. Developer AIXLAB, publisher Smilegate, and co-publisher Thermite Games have announced that the free demo for The Alley, the first-person psychological horror game set in the maze-like, claustrophobic alleyways of Korea, is now available on Steam. Trapped in an unassuming, everyday labyrinth, you’ll have to use your camera, keen observational skills, and clever wits to investigate the supernatural forces stalking you – and survive.
High school student Soyeon steps out of evening class and into streets she has walked a hundred times before. But something has changed. The alley stretches longer than it should. The exit never comes. The bracelet her shaman grandmother pressed into her hands years ago suddenly begins to glow — it is not only a warning and a guide, but also the only thing standing between her and whatever stirs in the dark.
At its core, The Alley is a game of anomaly detection and consequence. The bracelet signals that something is wrong; the player must uncover what it is. Photograph anything suspicious, then send your assessment to your grandmother by MMS — is it a Ghost Trace, something that you could never experience in the real world, or a Ghost Feint, something strange yet still possibly existing in reality? Every correct judgment is a step toward the truth, while every mistake brings something dangerous closer.
The world of The Alley is rooted in Korean folk tradition – mudang shamanism, an ancient bloodline of spiritual power passed through generations. AIXLAB, a studio with nearly a decade of horror environment craft behind it, has recreated the texture of Korea’s backstreets with painstaking fidelity: the layout feels familiar, but the signage, storefronts, and alley details quietly insist that you do not belong here. That uncanny distance is where the dread takes hold.
“We want to create spaces that are completely ordinary to Koreans to feel terrifying through atmosphere alone – and global players can also experience a kind of horror they haven’t encountered before,” noted the development team at AIXLAB.
Before its Steam debut, The Alley won Top 10 at the 2025 STOVE Indie Awards and drew over 2,000 broadcasts from Korean streamers and content creators. Today’s new demo features approximately 30 minutes of gameplay and supports Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, English, Japanese, Russian, and Korean languages.
Today, developer MercurySteam and publisher 505 Games are thrilled to announce that their dark fantasy action-adventure game Blades of Fire is now available on Steam. The Steam release includes Version 2.0 of the game, featuring major updates and improvements, new achievements and Steam Deck support, plus the Adventurer Pack, the Artbook, and the award-winning original soundtrack by Óscar Araujo. Version 2.0 is also available today as a free upgrade on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Epic Games.
In Blades of Fire, players take on the role of Aran de Lira, the last warrior alive with the ability to forge true steel in a world where metal turns to stone, and the power of the blade rules all. Players embark on a journey of mastery, as combat favors brains over brawn. Strategically assemble your arsenal to account for the brutal enemies Aran will face, and forge weapons with precision, as there are no do-overs and make every strike of the hammer count. Battles are deliberate, weighty, and unforgiving – the key to a successful outcome is careful observation of your opponent, and taking advantage of their missteps and weaknesses, striking at the right moment. A strategic, observant warrior will emerge victoriously, while those who fight with reckless abandon will meet a terminal fate.
Version 2.0 introduces brand-new content, guaranteed to provide a challenge and make every playthrough feel fresh:
- New Game Plus: Relive Aran’s adventure anew while maintaining most progression and stats. As an added challenge, enemies scale to the player’s health. Thanks to 27 New Game Plus exclusive forge statues that unlock new weapon parts, Aran will be more than ready for a fight.
- New Challenge Level: Titanium Difficulty: A brutal challenge recommended for only the most experienced fighter, players will battle their way through enemies with enhanced health, armour, and a 20% damage increase, and Bosses rebalanced with stricter timing-based mechanics.
- Anvil Trials: Travel to the arena and re-challenge bosses defeated in the main story in time-limited combat to earn rewards that will help you along the way. But be wary – bosses are ready for you and bring on new mechanics to up the challenge.
- Arcana: Collect medals during the Anvil Trails and exchange them with Aran’s scholarly companion Adso, who will then grant ancient spells that grant passive buffs to your weapons.
- Transmutation: This new system allows players to convert materials directly at the forge. Convert materials into any other desired – as long as it has been discovered by Aran.
- …and More: Capture the epic scenery and key moments with the newly added Photo Mode, unlock new Achievements, fully remap your mouse and keyboard control bindings, and even better – you can now pet the Ox! Additionally, improvements such as expanded death and mutilation variations, improved animation transition, and Nvidia DLSS4 implementation will provide a richer experience, and full Steam Deck support allows players to take their battles along with them on the go.

Today, 2K and Gearbox Software shared new details regarding the upcoming Raid Boss encounter for Borderlands 4, Subjugator and Thol the Invincible. Starting May 28, any Vault Hunters looking for a new endgame challenge can take on these formidable foes as part of the Version 1.7 update, which is free for all players.
Subjugator and Thol the Invincible live in service to the Timekeeper, isolated on an island off the coast of the Fadefields where they await challengers. This encounter begins as a tag team battle against the hovering Subjugator and the hulking Thol. Once one is eliminated, the remaining boss will retreat to a distinct arena to reach full power in an ascended form, triggering a life-or-death duel.
Vault Hunters who manage to defeat this duo will have the chance to earn powerful new rewards:
- One New Pearlescent Weapon:
- Jail-Broken Gatling (Order SMG): For each hit on an enemy, gain a buff that increases fire rate, damage, weapon recoil, and the chance to fire additional projectiles.
- Four New Legendary Items:
- Lockjaw (Torgue Assault Rifle): Fires explosive projectiles that will bounce between multiple targets.
- Shammy Kablammy (Tediore Pistol): Douses enemies in hot Moonshine, then throws an explosive projectile when reloading that burns doused enemies with Incendiary damage, scaling with how many targets are lit ablaze.
- Flak Cannon (Vladof Heavy Weapon Ordnance): Shreds enemies with a hail of bullets.
- Collector (Order Shield): Weathers any storm with a huge capacity and a quick recharge rate, offset by a longer recharge delay.
- Five New Class Mods: A unique Class Mod will be available for each current Vault Hunter. A sixth Class Mod will be added to this loot pool in Q3 2026 when the next Vault Hunter arrives in Story Pack 2.
- New Firmware:
- Active Fire: At Tier 3, unleashing a charge weapon’s full-charge shot the moment it’s available will deal bonus damage, providing increased lethality as a reward for precision timing.
As a reminder, players must beat the main campaign before they can take on Subjugator and Thol the Invincible. Be sure to tune in to the Gearbox DevCast on May 26 deep-diving into the design, lore behind this fearsome dual boss fight, and offering a look at the battle arena of the Raid 2 encounter.
For dedicated Vaulter Hunters pushing the highest Ultimate Vault Hunter Mode (UVHM) levels, Version 1.7 will also raise the level cap to UVHM Level 7. Additionally, this update includes a community-requested Shared Character Progression toggle. Previously introduced in Version 1.5, players are able to share progress for SDUs, collectibles, and more, and this new toggle allows players to roll a new Vault Hunter with a completely clean slate to rediscover Kairos as if for the first time.
Update 1.7, including Subjugator and Thol the Invincible, is the latest free drop outlined in the Upcoming Content Roadmap. Looking ahead, Version 1.8 is scheduled for late June, introducing a free Takedown and the paid Bounty Pack 3 DLC on the same day.
