KTC has unveiled the M27P6S, an updated 27-inch Fast IPS gaming monitor featuring 2304 QD Mini-LED dimming zones and a 4K dual-Hz display mode.

Building on the foundation of the original M27P6, the new model (via TFT Central) doubles the backlight's local dimming count from 1152 to 2304 zones. The display natively runs at 3840×2160 resolution at up to 160Hz, with a dual-Hz toggle that lets users drop to 1920×1080 at up to 320Hz. Other metrics include a 1ms G2G response time, 10-bit colour depth (8-bit + FRC), 99% sRGB and 99% DCI-P3 coverage, and a peak brightness of 1400 nits.

Other features include Adaptive Sync support, an anti-blur tool (DAC), an integrated KVM switch, and VESA DisplayHDR 1400 certification.

Connectivity options consist of two HDMI 2.1 ports, a DisplayPort 1.4 input, a USB 3.0 hub, a headphone output, and a USB-C connection with DP Alt Mode and 65W power delivery. Ergonomics cover height adjustment up to 130mm, along with tilt, swivel, and pivot. KTC has listed the monitor at 646 SGD, which is about £370.

KitGuru says: With its 2304 Mini-LED dimming zones in a 27-inch panel, blooming and haloing on the M27P6S should be minimal, which could make it a compelling option if KTC brings it to Western markets at a competitive price.

In the 10 years since the initial launch of Persona 5, we’ve seen ATLUS publish a ton of various side-projects, re-releases and full-on remakes. Following the success of Persona 3 Reload – and ahead of the upcoming Persona 4 Revival, ATLUS producer Kazuhisa Wada was asked about the prospects of remakes for the first two games in the series; responding positively to the notion.

Taking part in an interview conducted by the publication GamerBraves, ATLUS producer Kazuhisa Wada was asked about the upcoming Persona 4 Revival vis-a-vis “the technical challenges of rebuilding Inaba in 3D to the choices behind combat, story presentation, and the game’s new title.”

While the full interview can be found HERE, the most interesting part came when Wada was asked about other potential remake projects – namely remakes for the original Persona 1 and 2.

Though a concrete answer was not provided, the prospect seems to be ruminating internally at ATLUS, with Wada stating: “At this point, I can't say for sure, but personally, I think it's something we should definitely do. I think we have to do it.”

It is worth noting that of all the Persona games, the first two are likely to be the toughest to remake, owing to the fact that both games were developed for the PlayStation 1 and as such are structured very differently to P3 onwards. That said, this is perhaps the exact reason as to why these two titles deserve to be remade.

Either way, with Persona 4 Revival scheduled to launch in February of next year – and Persona 6 likely years away from release – don’t expect any more remakes anytime soon.

KitGuru says: What do you think of Persona’s remakes so far? Would you welcome a re-do of the first two entries? When do you think Persona 6 will officially launch? Let us know down below.

Almost 10 years on from the last mainline entry’s release, Persona 6 was finally officially announced during Microsoft’s Xbox Games Showcase. Though no release date was provided, the long-awaited JRPG seems to be well on its way to being complete, with the game now having its Steam page go live.

Available now to wishlist on Steam, the official store page for Persona 6 has gone live. While most of what’s been shared was already known, its arrival did come with a new description, writing:

“Persona 6 brings everything beloved about the series into a bold new story. The signature blend of heartfelt daily life and pulse-pounding supernatural adventure returns, wrapped around a completely fresh, standalone story and new cast of characters.”

Unfortunately, a majority of the description can be applied to most Persona games, with ATLAS primarily explaining the series’ overall concept. Interestingly, the team made sure to note on multiple occasions that P6 will offer a standalone story. Of course, long-time fans already know this, but with a decade between releases (and a 6 at the end of the title) it makes sense for ATLUS to emphasise this fact.

Other ancillary details include the fact that the game uses some form of 3rd-party DRM; supports 15 languages in total (though audio is limited to English/Japanese); and will allow for Steam Family Sharing.

While Persona 6 getting a Steam page doesn’t mean much in the grand scheme of things, it does suggest that the title should hopefully make its rumoured release date – believed to be September 2027.

KitGuru says: Are you excited for Persona 6? How big of a jump mechanically do you expect it to be compared to P5 / Royal? When do you think the game will arrive? Let us know down below.

In the nearly-a-decade since the initial release of ATLUS’ beloved Persona 5, there have been plenty of leaks and rumours discussing the next mainline entry in this now iconic series. Finally, after releasing a bunch of P5 spin-offs and crossing over with countless other IPs, ATLUS has officially announced that Persona 6 is real and is in development – though no release date was provided.

Making the announcement during Microsoft’s latest Xbox Games Showcase, ATLUS gave us our first official look at Persona 6. While details remain light, the colour scheme for this entry is a bright neon green, contrasted by the dark and dreary visuals of what appeared to be a cemetery.

Additionally, the teaser included some very Resident Evil-esque horror imagery, suggesting that the atmosphere for P6 will be more oppressive when compared to previous entries.

Of course, the Persona series has always toed the line between scary and chill vibes, and so we will have to wait and see what Persona 6’s more social aspects will look like. That said, based on what little we have seen so far, ATLUS is taking the series into a darker direction – perhaps closer to the stylings of its sister series Shin Megami Tensei.

Either way, with Persona 5 first releasing all the way back in 2016, it is exciting to know that Persona 6 is actually real and will come out sooner or later on current-gen Xbox, PlayStation and PC (and will be a day-one Game Pass addition).

Arctic has expanded its operations beyond the consumer market with the announcement of the Liquid Freezer WS360, a specialised AIO liquid cooler built for high-end workstation processors.

Designed to tame the thermal output of AMD Epyc, Ryzen Threadripper Pro, and Intel Xeon chips, the WS360 moves away from the multi-compatible mounting brackets of the consumer series in favour of an enlarged copper cold plate that ensures full coverage of the giant integrated heat spreaders found on server-grade silicon. This focus on maximising contact area is critical for workstation workloads, which can see CPUs draw several hundred watts under sustained load.

For specs, the WS360 shares Arctic's Liquid Freezer III DNA but optimises it for professional reliability. It features a similar high-density 38 mm thick radiator, which provides more thermal mass and liquid volume than the 27 mm radiators typically found in consumer AIOs. To move air through this fin stack, Arctic has equipped the unit with pre-mounted P12 Pro PST CO fans, where the “CO” stands for Continuous Operation. As such, these fans use dual ball bearings rated for long-term, high-intensity use in workstation environments. The cooler comes with 2 grams of Arctic's new MX-7 thermal paste, ensuring an efficient interface between the die and the cold plate right out of the box.

Arctic is launching the WS360 in three versions, each optimised for its respective socket. The WS360-4710 is tailored for Intel's LGA4710 and LGA4677 sockets and is currently priced at $114.99/€131.24 (originally MSRP $174.99/€174.99). For AMD systems, the WS360-SP5, as the name implies, targets the SP5 platform at $119.99/€134.99 (vs. $179.99/€179.99), while the WS360-SP6 covers a range of AMD workstation sockets, including SP6, SP3, sTR5, sWRX8, and sTRX4, priced at $109.99/€127.49 (vs. $169.99/€169.99).

KitGuru says: Arctic might be able to disrupt the workstation cooling market by bringing its “performance-per-dollar” philosophy to a segment often dominated by overpriced industrial solutions. Do you think Arctic can make a similar stand in the server and workstation market as it did for mainstream consumers?
