Razer™, the leading global lifestyle brand for gamers, today elevates the gaming mouse domain with the introduction of the innovative Razer Cobra line. In a seamless blend of form and function, this new mouse line incorporates the prime features of Razer’s immersive mice range into a symmetrical form factor. Built with customizability, connectivity and cutting-edge technology at the forefront, the Razer Cobra Pro invites gamers to a kaleidoscopic gaming experience brimming with freedom and immersion.
“There was a clear gap in the market for a mouse that offered a well-balanced, immersive gaming experience. Driven by that realization, we created the all-new Cobra line,” said Barrie Ooi, Head of Razer’s PC Gaming Division. “The Cobra Pro stands unrivaled as the most immersive, feature-rich wireless and symmetrical mouse available today, and we can’t wait for our community to try it out for themselves.”
Unleashing Unrivaled Control and Customization
From essential commands to complex macros, the Cobra Pro empowers gamers with a new level of control. The mouse is integrated with 10 customizable controls, 5 onboard memory profiles and 11 individually addressable Chroma RGB zones, the most zones in its class, all built into a sleek symmetrical design.
Thoughtfully designed with seven buttons on top, two on the side and one on the bottom, the Cobra Pro redefines accessibility, offering endless possibilities for quick-to-reach commands. Beyond these, the magic unfolds with Razer’s Hypershift feature, temporarily enabling a secondary set of functions on top of existing button assignments for a whole new degree of gameplay. The five onboard memory profiles, effortlessly configured via Razer Synapse, can be cycled through at the bottom of the mouse, enabling seamless profile switching tailored to different gaming scenarios.
“Being able to switch between my mice preferences so it’s seamlessly optimized across different titles has been a game changer for me,” said Mizkif, OTK Co-Founder and Twitch Streamer. “I also just can’t get over how good the RGB looks in my gaming setup – it adds so much color and fun to my desk.”
An Illuminating Experience
The Cobra line is a brilliant addition to Razer’s expansive suite of Chroma RGB enabled peripherals. The world’s largest lighting ecosystem for gaming and lifestyle devices, Chroma RGB features 16.8 million colors, a multitude of lighting effects, and seamless integration with over 250+ games. The newly added Smart Dimming feature in the Cobra line enables gamers to automatically conserve battery during play and reverts to full Chroma display during active use.
Technological Excellence
Harnessing the pinnacle of gaming technologies, the Cobra Pro is a testament to Razer’s relentless innovation. Drawing from the superior capabilities of the award-winning Razer Basilisk V3 Pro, such as Focus Pro 30K Optical Sensor, Optical Mouse Switches Gen-3 and HyperSpeed. And for gamers thirsting for more, the Cobra Pro is upgrade-ready for true 4000 Hz polling rates with Razer Mouse Dock Pro (sold separately) or the Razer HyperPolling Wireless Dongle, taking pro-gaming performance to stratospheric levels.
Superior Connectivity
Despite being fully feature-packed, the Cobra Pro weighs just 77g, giving gamers the best of both worlds for the ultimate immersive experience. With up to 100 hours of gameplay on HyperSpeed Wireless (and a staggering 170 hours on Bluetooth) gamers can now battle, build, or strategize anywhere, anytime.
The USB Type C Speedflex Cable allows for quick, seamless charging, keeping the Cobra Pro ready for action. In addition, the Razer Mouse Dock Pro (sold separately), or the Razer Wireless Charging Puck (sold separately) can be utilized to unlock wireless charging capabilities, to enable ultimate convenience.
Introducing the Razer Cobra
For casual gamers who prefer a wired connection, the Razer Cobra stands out as a preferred alternative– lightweight and armed with ultra-durable switches, eight customizable controls, and decked out with a striking gradient Chroma underglow. This mouse exemplifies big-game performance in a sleek, wired form factor.
Integrating exceptional precision, unrivaled customization, and radiant aesthetics, the Razer Cobra line is the new zenith of gaming mice, propelling gamers into a future where their play style and personal flair merge seamlessly.

In a Community Update posted today, Larian Studios revealed that Baldur’s Gate 3 will release on August 3 on PC – almost a month early – and September 6 on PlayStation 5, just a week later than its previously announced release date of August 31.
“We’ve always been a studio that aims to release on as many platforms as possible, in order of readiness. We’ve also aimed for the highest possible quality on every platform we’ve released on. We’re at a point where we’re reaching 60 FPS on PlayStation 5, which is remarkable considering the breadth and depth Baldur’s Gate 3 aims for. It features over 170 hours of cinematics, more than twice the length of the entirety of Game of Thrones, and more than three times the dialogue of all three Lord of the Rings novels combined. It is a massive, expansive game that truly brings D&D to life, with multiplayer and split-screen co-op, and at a scale that’s roughly four times that of our previous game, Divinity: Original Sin 2,” said Director of Publishing Michael Douse.
“Reaching a technical bar that matches our design ambitions felt like the right move, while holding back the PC version when we knew we’d be ready felt like the wrong move in such a busy launch period,” added Douse.
In a feature-filled Community Update, Larian reveals many long-awaited details about the content of Baldur’s Gate 3 – from which D&D races and classes will appear in the game, to new playable characters and companions, to a wide array of new character customization options – as well as some staggering statistics about the RPG’s scope.
Larian has pulled these stats to put the scale of Baldur’s Gate 3 into perspective:
Containing more dialogue than three times all three Lord of the Rings books combined, the script for Baldur’s Gate 3 contains over 2 million words
With over 170 hours of cinematics, twice the length of every season of Game of Thrones combined
Seven playable protagonists, each with their own rich stories, personalities, desires, and objectives, as well as a best-in-class character creation system for custom characters
Play as one of 11 playable races and 31 subraces, with multiple body types
12 classes and 46 subclasses, compared to Divinity: Original Sin 2’s 10 “schools of spells”
Over 600 spells and actions (excluding upcasts), compared to Divinity: Original Sin 2’s 225 player spells and actions
“We set out to make a game that would reward player creativity and truly bring D&D to life in a cinematic way that explores the breadth and depth RPGs can offer. Baldur’s Gate 3 has become an astronomical game that never fails to surprise, and I’m super proud of the team. We couldn’t have done this without our early access community, but it’s crazy to think that all this time they experienced less than a quarter of what BG3 has to offer. I cannot wait to hear the stories our players will tell when the full game releases. It’s time to gather your party!” said CEO and Creative Director Swen Vincke.
Larian will finally explore the full scope of their sprawling RPG on July 7 during the Panel From Hell: Release Showcase live show.
MGM+, a premium linear channel and streaming service, announced today that the contemporary sci-fi horror series FROM has been renewed for a 10-episode third season. Created and executive produced by John Griffin (Crater) and executive produced by showrunner Jeff Pinkner (Lost, Alias, Fringe), and director Jack Bender (Lost, Game of Thrones), the series unravels the mystery of a nightmarish town that traps all those who enter. In the wake of Season Two’s epic cliffhanger, escape will become a tantalizing and very real possibility as the true nature of the town comes into focus, and the townspeople go on offense against the myriad horrors surrounding them. The series is set to return in 2024.
FROM is the second-most viewed series in the history of the premium network, behind the Emmy winning Godfather of Harlem, starring Forest Whitaker and co-created by Chris Brancato and Paul Eckstein (Narcos).
The series stars Harold Perrineau (Lost) and an ensemble cast which includes Catalina Sandino Moreno (Maria Full of Grace, The Affair), Eion Bailey (Band of Brothers, Once Upon a Time), Hannah Cheramy (Under Wraps, Van Helsing), Simon Webster (Strays), Ricky He (The Good Doctor), Chloe Van Landschoot (Charity, Skin), Corteon Moore (Utopia Falls), Pegah Ghafoori (The Perfect Wedding), David Alpay (Castle Rock), Elizabeth Saunders (Clarice), Elizabeth Moy, Avery Konrad (Honor Society), and Scott McCord (East of Middle West). Joining the ensemble in Season Two were Nathan D. Simmons (Diggstown, This Hour Has 22 Minutes), Kaelen Ohm (Hit & Run, Eumenides Falls), Angela Moore (A Series of Unfortunate Events, Maid), A.J. Simmons (Reacher), and Deborah Grover (My Next Door Nightmare, Jann).
“The first two seasons of FROM captivated critics and terrified and engaged fans, who have formed a thriving online community that is trying to put the pieces together week by week as the secrets of the nightmarish town—and possibly beyond—are slowly revealed,” said Michael Wright, head of MGM+. “We can’t wait for fans to see the surprises ahead in Season Three, which promises more scares and mysteries, but also more answers.”
“We’re so grateful for the support of our fans and FROMily this season. We have a lot more story to tell … and shocking, weird roads to take you on, with plenty of answers along the way,” said Jack Bender, executive producer and director.
FROM is a co-production between MGM+ Studios and Amazon’s Pan-English scripted TV. Alongside Jeff Pinkner, John Griffin, and Jack Bender, serving as executive producers are Josh Appelbaum, André Nemec, and Scott Rosenberg from Midnight Radio, Anthony and Joe Russo and Mike Larocca from AGBO, and Lindsay Dunn. Midnight Radio’s Adrienne Erickson serves as co-executive producer. The series is distributed internationally by Paramount Global Content Distribution.

Crytek is thrilled to announce Hunt: Showdown’s “Tide of Shadows” Live Event launches today on PC! New challenges, gameplay, weapons, story, and a new boss await Hunters for the duration of the event, which runs until Aug. 23, 2023.
The “Tide of Shadows” Live Event introduces a new Boss category – the Wild Target. Rotjaw is a game-changing monster that brings a deadly new threat to the Bayou. Unlike other Boss enemies in the game, Rotjaw will not be found inside a compound. Instead, she lurks in the waters of the Bayou, lying in wait to attack any who encroach on her territory.
Rotjaw is designed for a new gameplay experience, forcing Hunters to improvise while defending in the wide open spaces of her watery home. Players must make decisions on the fly about how to approach and dispatch this deadly new threat. If successful, they will be rewarded with a valuable Bounty Token.
The “Tide of Shadows” Live Event also arrives with new Pacts for players to pledge their Hunters to – the Primal Pact, Smuggler Pact, and Grounded Pact. Each pact has in-depth lore about their origins and aims to be discovered, as well as new Legendary Weapons and Equipment associated with the three factions available to unlock.
“We designed Rotjaw as a new objective for Hunters, adapting several mechanics and gameplay flows from our established Boss Targets,” said David Fifield, General Manager for Hunt: Showdown. “Her design gives players a whole new range of risk versus reward choices when launching into a Bounty Hunt. Should you go after her right away or ignore her until you’ve banished the other Target and gained Dark Sight? What trait, weapons and gear will set you up best to track and defeat her? Once she is banished how best can you secure the Bounty Token and extract from the map with it? We are incredibly excited to unleash Rotjaw and eager for her to leave her mark on the Hunt world.”
To unlock rewards during the Live Event, players must earn Event Points, awarded for completing a range of in-game challenges and by interacting with or destroying new Ship Altars scattered around the Bayou. To help rack up Event Points, Hunters can take advantage of new single-use “Burn Traits,” which are only available for the duration of the event, offering players new ways to play. Event Points can be exchanged for a wide range of rewards throughout the Live Event. “Tide of Shadows” also brings a new Battle Pass with both free and premium pathways.
“Tide of Shadows” and Rotjaw are available now on PC and will arrive on consoles at a later date.
Hunt: Showdown is out now for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. Players can find out more about the game by visiting www.huntshowdown.com.
In Jagged Alliance 3, you take command of an eclectic group of fighters, brought together as a rag-tag force to liberate Grand Chien. Motivated primarily by their desire to earn money (after all, they are mercenaries), it’s crucial to pay them promptly, or they’ll simply quit. Naturally, the more experienced and skilled a mercenary is, the higher their asking price.
Your task is to assemble the perfect team(s) for your mission. Each mercenary possesses their own unique personality, strengths, weaknesses, and powerful special abilities. By carefully considering these factors, you’ll gain an advantage both on the battlefield and in the strategic aspects of your campaign. Some mercenaries excel as leaders, training militia soldiers with exceptional efficiency, while others are skilled medics or mechanics, completing crucial tasks swiftly and effectively.
Lastly, it’s important to note that mercenaries interact with each other. Personal preferences and animosities can influence their performance. Therefore, it’s wise to be cautious when assigning them together, as it may lead to unfavorable outcomes. In the new trailer, you’ll catch a glimpse of intriguing fighters and their exceptional skills in action.
Jagged Alliance 3 is currently in development for PC and is set to release on July 14th, 2023 at an SRP of $ 44.99 / € 44.99 / 39.99 £. You will receive a 20% pre-order discount if you order before July 14th, 15:00 CEST / 2 PM BST / 9 AM EDT / 6 AM PDT. Pre-Order here:
