Insta360 today announced Insta360 Wave, a professional-grade speakerphone with an integrated AI recording suite, built to set a new standard for clarity, intelligence, and usability in meetings, podcasts, and beyond.
Sporting a unique levitating design, Insta360 Wave comes with an 8-microphone 3D array, advanced AI-powered noise cancellation and dereverberation, as well as seamless integration with the simultaneously launched Insta360 InSight AI meeting assistant.
“With Insta360 Wave, we’ve combined professional audio capture with an AI system that makes every conversation searchable, shareable, and smarter,” said Max Richter, VP of Marketing and Co-Founder at Insta360. “This is the kind of solution that gives workplaces and solo creators far more than other speakerphones today.”
Insta360 Wave stands as a complete platform for capturing, better understanding, and sharing conversations. It’s available from September 25, 2025, via the Insta360 Store, Amazon, and more retailers starting at US$299.99.
Superior Audio Quality
At its core, Wave is engineered for professional-grade sound.
An 8-mic 3D array captures voices in Hi-Fi 48kHz detail from up to 16ft away. AI noise reduction eliminates over 300 types of background sound, from keyboard clicks to street noise.
Acoustic echo cancellation and automatic gain control work in tandem to ensure natural, balanced voices without spikes. AI dereverberation removes hollow or distant tones for a crisp, true-to-life sound. All of this, with full duplex technology for smooth, two-way conversation with no dropouts or delays.
Intuitive Touch Control
Wave’s sleek touchscreen interface makes operation simple and tactile. With just a tap or swipe, you can toggle the mic on or off, adjust volume, or start and stop recordings.
The interface also lets you mute or adjust sound on the fly. And when it’s time to wrap up, you can upload directly to the cloud with a single swipe.
Adaptive Beamforming
No matter your setup, Wave adapts to ensure your sound is optimized. With adaptive beamforming, a capability typically reserved for professional microphones, you can select from five distinct pickup patterns to suit your scenario:
Omni: 360-degree pickup for group discussions.
Cardioid: Focused front capture for online meetings and podcasts.
Supercardioid: Suppresses ambient noise even further, perfect for busy offices.
Figure-8: Captures front and back, ideal for two-person interviews.
Stereo: Wide, natural audio for creative recordings like ASMR or music.
Meeting Recording & Local Storage
With a handy touchscreen interface, Wave doubles as a portable, standalone recorder.
With 32GB of built-in storage, Wave is capable of storing up to 1,000 hours of audio. A single tap starts recording, while tagging and muting ensure you stay in control.
Future-ready features like AI pre-recording (capturing the last 5 minutes before hitting record) add peace of mind for unscripted moments.
AI Transcription & Meeting Assistant
Wave works hand-in-hand with the newly launched Insta360 InSight, a powerful AI agent that transforms conversations into actionable knowledge by offering:
Transcription in 99 languages.
Speaker identification and voiceprint labeling for clear attribution.
Custom workplace-specific glossaries to ensure industry-term accuracy.
Smart summaries and to-do lists to keep projects moving.
AI Q&A and chat (with the option to utilize ChatGPT and Gemini) for instant answers, traceable to specific timestamps.
Unlimited cloud storage, automatically backing up recordings.
As a limited-time offer, early Wave buyers receive free access to the InSight Basic Plan, which includes 300 minutes of monthly transcription, storage, and standard templates.
Users can upgrade to the Pro Plan, which offers up to 1200 minutes of transcription and deeper AI features.
Smarter Together: Wave + Link 2
For users seeking an all-in-one solution, Wave integrates seamlessly with the best-selling Insta360 Link 2 AI webcam. Simply mount Link 2 on top of Wave for a complete video-and-audio setup with synchronized controls.
Wave’s Direction of Arrival detection enables Link 2 to automatically switch focus between speakers, unlocking wire-free speaker tracking for smarter, smoother multi-person meetings.
Accessories & Expansion
Wave launches with a set of accessories for effortless integration in any setup:
Y-Cable: Enables charging and data transfer simultaneously.
Table Mount: Secures Wave for stable use in meeting rooms.
Additional options like the Desktop Controller allow for advanced configuration and control.
Wave will also support multi-device wireless connections*, allowing multiple units to link together to cover large meeting spaces, making it a scalable option for dynamic teams.

September 25th, 2025 — Following a tremendously successful Early Access period, Farthest Frontier will officially launch into 1.0. on October 23rd, 2025, having grown far beyond its already solid foundation into a definitive new contender in the medieval city builder genre.
During Early Access, Farthest Frontierenjoyed a consistent Very Positive rating on Steam across 16 major updates, over 1.2 million copies sold, and over 1.6 million wishlists. The v1.0 release of Farthest Frontier offers the most comprehensive farming and town management sim available, spearheaded by a plethora of new additions and sharpened mechanics:
Revamped progression with new 142-point Tech Tree, giving players more freedom
Dozens of new buildings
Bridges
New Policy System
Updated animations
And more!
CEO & Creative Director Arthur Bruno on the journey to v1.0:
“Farthest Frontier started out as sort of a self-indulgent passion project, to take a break from ARPGs and make the kind of town-builder game I’d dreamed of making in college, when I was playing games like Settlers 2, Caesar 3 and Ultimate Domain. When we started development I was not sure how much demand there was for town-builders anymore, but Banished came out of nowhere and proved there was still a good-sized audience for the right kind of game.
Farthest Frontier contains a lot of the depth and ideas I’d always wanted to see in the genre, like more robust farming and an intricate, fully-simulated economy where villagers are actually carrying resources and items back and forth. It’s been a huge challenge, especially since we’ve never had more than 8 people on it at a time but Farthest Frontier turned out bigger and better than I had imagined and I am incredibly proud of the team and what we’ve built.”
Whether you’ve already constructed dozens of settlements over multiple playthroughs or you’ve just founded your first village, the full release of Farthest Frontier invites players to challenge their survival instincts and logistical skills with unmatched city-building mechanics. Forge a town in an untamed wilderness at the edge of the known world. Harvest raw materials, hunt, fish, farm, and trade to sustain your community, ensuring your people’s survival as they contend with the elements, disease, and outside threats.
Farthest Frontier features an abundance of materials to obtain and crops to harvest, dozens of unique buildings to expand your town, and a singularly deep farming system — right down to soil fertility and seasonal rotations. Provide for your people’s needs with numerous basic and luxury goods, beautiful decor, and customizable religions. Keep the settlement secure behind formidable fortifications and an army that’s yours to assemble and maintain, as you fend off invaders eager to plunder your wealth with deadly cavalry and catapults, or focus on building a scenic metropolis in Pacifist Mode.
Farthest Frontier will launch at $34.99 in October, reflecting the significant growth the game has experienced over the past 3 years. This will not impact existing owners of the game, who have been wonderful supporters throughout this journey. The Early Access price ($29.99) will be discounted during the Steam Autumn sale, which begins on September 29th, for those who wish to get it at a lower price before launch. To learn more, you can visit its official website.
Key Features:
Build, Enhance & Advance: Construct over 190 different buildings as you grow your town from a fledgling settlement to a bustling city. Your town center and housing will advance through multiple building tiers as the prosperity and desirability of your town increases and advancements are made in a vast 140+ point Tech Tree. Upgrade production buildings to increase efficiency and enable the manufacturing of more advanced items. Construct a temple and customize your people’s faith with discoverable relics.
The Most Detailed Farming System… Ever: Strategically select from 12 crops with unique growing characteristics and configure crop rotations to maintain soil fertility, avoid heat and frost damage, and prevent the accumulation of diseases. Cultivate your fields over time by removing weeds and rocks, raising fertility, and adjusting soil mixture to achieve maximum crop production to keep your growing population fed.
Advanced Town Simulation: Villagers actively live out their lives and perform their jobs in real-time. Develop roads, construct transport wagons, and set production and storage limits to reduce spoilage and facilitate the efficient movement of goods throughout your settlement.
Randomly Generated Maps: No playthrough is ever quite the same with completely randomized terrain generation and resource distribution. Beautiful, unique biomes and map themes increase replayability, with more extreme maps leading to distinct challenges. Controls allow players to specify the amount of water or mountains they desire, even down to which resources can generate on the map.
Idyllic to Brutal: Fully customizable difficulty options (including a Pacifist mode) allow you to turn off features like invaders, disease, and combat for a more tranquil experience… or to max out the difficulty to truly test your town-builder prowess.
All Them Old-Timey Diseases: Clean drinking water, proper waste disposal, healthy diets for your villagers, and even proper clothing will help combat the variety of diseases and ailments that plagued the medieval era.
Fend Off Invaders: Progress from wood palisades to stone walls, build towers, barracks and stables, and recruit and equip soldiers in the defense of your town as your rising prosperity attracts the attention of raiders and foreign armies seeking plunder.
Full Mod Support: Take advantage of free Unity development tools and Steam Workshop integration to transform the game to suit your playstyle.

Early Access release 3 – Key improvements
With the release of Early Access 3, Assetto Corsa EVO delivers significant improvements ranging across physics, audio, and graphics.
[Physics]
A fully recalibrated tyre model – across all compounds- has been initially released in 0.3.0 Open Beta to gather feedback from a wide variety of sim racing hardware users and FFB settings. During the Open Beta, KUNOS also addressed an issue related to tyre damping, which has been limiting the tyre feeling on FFB across a variety of scenarios, these will release today with version 0.3.3. Release 3 physics update include several improvements allowing the tires to respond more accurately to temperature, load, speed, and camber changes, delivering a more dynamic and rewarding driving experience. This is supported by a brand-new proprietary suspension algorithm and an upgraded damping system running at 1000 Hz, significantly enhancing vehicle feedback during transitions, braking, and directional changes. Together, these improvements add a whole new layer to driving simulation, where the car will more naturally communicate with the driver and allow more subtle corrections and, overall, a tighter feeling with any car.
[Audio]
Every car now features uniquely detailed ignition and startup sounds, with refined engine timbre and dynamic responses tied to RPM and engine inertia. Further realism comes through enhanced driveline audio, calibrated throttle lag, and torque response that closely mimic real-world behavior. Backfire effects have also been reworked for authenticity, delivering sharp, context-sensitive pops and crackles. These elements provide deeper mechanical feedback and elevate the overall driving immersion.
[Graphics & UI]
The graphics engine now features improved global illumination, optimized CPU/GPU performance – with most noticeable improvements in crowded scenes, like multiplayer races – and significantly reduced VRAM usage, addressing some of the previous framerate issues. Post-processing effects, like motion blur, have also been refined for greater visual fidelity. On the User Interface front, the Multi-Function Display (MFD) has been expanded with customizable controls, real-time and official leaderboards, and detailed input settings. Additional updates include improved speedometer, tyres, and gear widgets -now featuring pit limiter indicators – for a more informative and race-focused experience.
New Game Contents
Alongside the new Multiplayer mode, the game’s content is expanded with 2 additional tracks and 9 new cars (3 for each category) – a variety of fun and exciting vehicles to suit every taste!
Global gaming brand Level Infinite unveiled the highly anticipated ‘REBORN EVIL’ collaboration between its epic sci-fi RPG shooter GODDESS OF VICTORY: NIKKE and the world-renowned survival horror franchise Resident Evil™, delivering an experience unlike any other.

The content of this collaboration was designed with the goal of enriching the key appeal of both games to the greatest extent possible.”
“The in-game event collaboration introduces a defense mini-game featuring SD versions of Ada, Jill, and Claire. Second, this event includes effects such as a flashlight, which only illuminates the character’s surroundings, and eerie staging set against the backdrop of an old mansion. Additionally, homages and Easter eggs can be found throughout the event, which may prompt Resident Evil fans to consider whether it’s a direct reference to the original – for all players to experience the essence of the survival horror series.”
New Storyline
