ID-Cooling Computex 2026 showcase gave visitors a closer look at the company’s biggest product expansion in recent years. Best known for its cooling solutions, ID-Cooling used this year’s event to introduce its first range of PC cases alongside a wide selection of new liquid coolers, air coolers, and cooling fans.

The biggest surprise from the ID-Cooling Computex 2026 showcase was the company’s entry into the PC case market. Leading the new lineup is the Flow 500 series, which has been designed to match the look of ID-Cooling’s cooling products. The Flow 500 Wood White attracted plenty of attention thanks to its stylish white wooden front panel that gives the case a premium appearance. The series supports 360 mm radiators, includes a front USB-C port, and offers different airflow layouts to suit various PC builds.

ID-Cooling also revealed the View series cases. The View 500 features a panoramic 270-degree glass design that allows users to show off their hardware while supporting up to nine cooling fans. The larger View 510 takes things further with room for ten fans, support for dual 360 mm radiators, and eight expansion slots. Completing the case lineup are the Ware 300, Ware 310, and Ware 510 models, which will be available in both standard and ARGB versions.

Liquid cooling was another major focus of the ID-Cooling Computex 2026 showcase. The flagship DL360 Curve stands out with a large 6.67-inch curved display featuring a 2400 x 1080 resolution. It is paired with a high-speed pump and powerful fans designed for demanding gaming and workstation systems. The company also displayed the DX360 LCD, which comes with a detachable 4-inch display, and the DX360 Wood, which features wood accents that perfectly match the Flow 500 Wood case.

The air cooling lineup also received several additions. The Frozn A620 SLK uses a dual-tower design with six heatpipes and a copper base to improve cooling performance. For users who want extra visual features, the A620 SLK LCD includes a 5.5-inch display on top of the cooler. Other new products include the compact A620 Pro XE, the larger A610 XL, and the A510 Turbo. For professional workstations, ID-Cooling showcased the Elite A820 and A8 SP3, both designed for AMD EPYC and Threadripper processors.

The AT-120 is aimed at users looking for maximum airflow and can reach speeds of up to 3000 RPM. All new fan models will be offered in black, white, and ARGB versions.

Sega moving ahead with classic games revival effort

13 May 2026 at 16:00

While Sega did ultimately decide to cancel its ‘Super Game' project, the publisher is doubling down on its plans to revive classic franchises. 

As part of a recent earnings report, Sega confirmed it had cancelled its ambitious ‘Super Game' project, which was announced back in 2021, followed by a corporate partnership with Microsoft, presumably so that the dev team could use Azure cloud computing in some fashion.

While the Super Game is no more, the initiative to revive classic franchises is alive and well. Sega announced plans to revive a number of classics with brand-new games back in 2023, with new games planned for Golden Axe, Jet Set Radio, Crazy Taxi and Streets of Rage.

This is all on top of the continued development of Sonic titles, which have been doing quite well in recent years, in part thanks to the success of the film series.

KitGuru Says: Crazy Taxi is one that I could see doing numbers in today's gaming market.

Assassin’s Creed Hexe will include a surprise returning character according to insider

13 May 2026 at 10:15

While Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced remake marks the next entry in Ubisoft’s AC series to be released, the publisher is currently working on a number of different offerings slated to arrive over the next few years. One of the most anticipated is Assassin’s Creed Hexe – a more linear entry which will take players to 16th Century Europe. While official details remain light, insiders have now offered a ton of leaked information on what to expect from this upcoming release.

As reported by known Ubisoft insider ‘Rogue’ (and collated by Reddit user ZamnBoii) a number of voice lines pertaining to Assassin’s Creed Hexe have leaked, confirming a number of story and gameplay details.

Those more spoiler conscious might want to refrain from reading any further, but as revealed by the leaked dialogue, none other than Ezio Auditore himself will make an appearance in Hexe.

Creed Hexe

While unexpected, according to the leaks Hexe’s main protagonist Anika (previously known as Elsa) is a descendent of Claudia Auditore – Ezio’s sister.

In terms of gameplay, fewer details were shared. That said, according to Rogue there will be an unlockable skill allowing for “tree-to-tree branch jumping”. Additionally, though not contextualised, there will also be a mechanic in which NPCs will be able to report minor suspicious activities, requiring players to be a bit more careful.

Full details on the leaked dialogue (including additional lines from Ezio) can be found HERE.

SEGA Quietly Kills Its ‘Super Game’ Project After $31.6M Loss, but Crazy Taxi, Golden Axe, Jet Set Radio Revivals Survive the Cut

SEGA just published its fiscal year 2026 full-year financials, and while some Japanese publishers like Capcom can't seem to miss lately, that's not the story for SEGA. This past year was not a gangbusters year for SEGA on the commercial side, despite putting out some excellent games like SHINOBI: Art of Vengeance and Persona 3 Reload. The company reported a significant $31.6M net loss and saw a live service game based on its flagship franchise, Sonic Rumble Party, perform far weaker than expected. But that's where all of this could be a good thing for players. If you lost over […]

Assassin’s Creed Hexe Reportedly Undergoes More Development Turmoil, Slips to 2027 Launch Window and Loses 50 Developers

27 April 2026 at 14:54

A witchcraft symbol made of twigs and rope hangs in a dark, eerie forest setting.

There's something in the water about Assassin's Creed Hexe. Barely two months ago, it was the project that was showing major promise and the one that "everyone at Ubisoft wants to work on," according to insider reports. Amidst the company's turmoil of the "major reset" it underwent to start 2026, Hexe seemed like one of the bright spots for the company's future. Well, that has quickly changed after it lost two major creative leads and is now losing another 50 developers while also getting pushed out of its previous 2026 release window into a potentially late 2027 release window. This […]

Intel Quietly Launches Core 7 245HX; An Identical But “Rebranded” Core Ultra 5 235HX

It's just another rebranded Arrow Lake-HX CPU with "Ultra" missing in its name, but this will confuse many. Intel Launches a Non-Ultra Arrow Lake-HX CPU With Specs Identical to Core Ultra 5 235HX in the Core 7 Arrow Lake Series Intel just silently released another Arrow Lake SKU, but it has got one of the most confusing names in the family. Unlike how Intel usually brings SKUs under different families, this one shares its naming convention with two different families. As a part of the Arrow Lake-HX family, Intel launched the Core 7 245HX, which sounds noticeably different than usual […]

Shinobi: Art of Vengeance to receive SEGA-themed DLC alongside major free update next month

19 March 2026 at 12:00

In recent years SEGA has been reaching back into its legacy IPs, reviving them in new and exciting ways. One of their most recent successes has been Shinobi: Art of Vengeance. Following its arrival last year, SEGA have now unveiled a surprising DLC featuring some recognisable faces alongside the promise of a major free update.

Releasing the surprise trailer, the team at SEGA officially unveiled their ‘SEGA Villains Stage DLC’. Set to launch on the 3rd of April, this DLC brings in a bunch of iconic SEGA villains from across the years into Art of Vengeance, including Majima from Yakuza; Death Adder from Golden Axe and – last but certainly not least – Dr. Eggman himself.

Featuring 3 new bosses; 5 stages; 2 new boss rush modes; 3 additional ninpo and more, this DLC looks to be a fun time for both fans of Shinobi but also SEGA as a whole.

As mentioned, alongside the DLC, Shinobi: Art of Vengeance is also set to receive a free update on the same day, adding:

  • A new hardcore mode
  • Combat system adjustments
  • Character outline updates and other QoL features

Shinobi: Art of Vengeance was one of SEGA’s more underappreciated releases from the past year, and so hopefully introducing a DLC as unexpected as this helps to attract more eyes to the game. We will have to wait and see when the SEGA Villains Stage DLC arrives early next month.

KitGuru says: What do you think of this announcement? Were you expecting a crossover? Who do you believe is the most iconic SEGA villain of all time (other than Dr. Eggman)? Let us know down below.

Ubisoft has provided a major update on what's coming next in the Assassin's Creed franchise as we near the one-year anniversary of its last major release, Assassin's Creed Shadows.

Yesterday, we learned that Clint Hocking, the creative director on Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory, Far Cry 2, Watch Dogs: Legion, and most recently, the creative director behind the upcoming Assassin's Creed Hexe, had left Ubisoft.

Assassin’s Creed Hexe Director leaves Ubisoft following latest franchise shake-up

26 February 2026 at 09:30

While the Assassin’s Creed franchise is in a bit of an odd spot currently, one of the most interesting upcoming entries in the series is AC: Hexe – a somewhat unique title rumoured to be set in 16th century Europe, featuring elements of witchcraft and possibly a fear system. Unfortunately, in the wake of the recent shake-ups at Ubisoft, Assassin’s Creed Hexe’s director ‘Clint Hocking’ has left the promising project.

As reported by the publication VGC, following the recent shake-up at Ubisoft (which included an overhaul to the Assassin’s Creed franchise team), long-time veteran Clint Hocking has been confirmed to have departed Ubisoft.

Announced by the newly-appointed AC franchise leadership team during an internal meeting, Ubisoft confirmed that Hexe has not been cancelled and that development will continue. Jean Guesdon (the director of AC Origins and the beloved Black Flag) is taking over as creative director.

Hexe Ubisoft

Speaking to VGC on this latest change, a spokesperson for the company shared the following:

“We sincerely thank [Clint] for his vision, creative contributions, and dedication over the years, and we wish him the very best in his next chapter. Development on Assassin’s Creed Codename Hexe continues with a seasoned team. The game will deliver something distinctive within the Assassin’s Creed franchise. We look forward to sharing more information in the future.”

Assassin’s Creed Hexe was first teased all the way back in 2022. With little-to-nothing seen from the project since – and now this latest spanner being thrown into the works – it will be interesting to see what becomes of the title.

KitGuru says: What do you think of this latest departure? Do you have faith in Assassin’s Creed Hexe? Let us know down below.

Ubisoft has seemingly lost another one of its veteran developers as part of its ongoing organizational restructuring following the company's announcement of a "major reset" last month. After learning who would be taking charge of the Assassin's Creed franchise going forward in its new structure yesterday, today we've learned that Clint Hocking, a Ubisoft veteran who was the creative director on Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory, Far Cry 2, Watch Dogs: Legion, and most recently the creative director on the upcoming Assassin's Creed: Hexe project, has left the company.

Ubisoft offers update on “the Future of Assassin’s Creed”

24 February 2026 at 09:30

The past year has been a big one for Ubisoft, with the publisher going through a ton of changes on an executive and strategic level. So far this has primarily led to a bunch of negative news, with countless project cancellations, lay-offs and more. Following the departure of the long-time Assassin’s Creed franchise boss Marc-Alexis Côté late last year, Ubisoft have now shared an official “Update on the Future of Assassin’s Creed.”

Taking to Reddit to make the announcement, the official AC team at Ubisoft detailed the future of the Assassin’s Creed franchise in the wake of these most recent shake-ups, stating:

“We know that what comes next has been a big topic within the community lately, and today, we can finally share some updates, starting with the introduction of newcomers to the leadership team that will shape the future of the franchise.”

As mentioned, Marc-Alexis Côté – who had been working on the AC franchise for the past two decades – was announced to be departing Ubisoft back in October of last year. Since then, the franchise’s future has been somewhat unknown.

Ubisoft Creed

Now however, the publisher officially unveiled Assassin Creed’s new leadership team – comprising of a “trio of experts of the series”:

  • Martin Schelling (Head of Brand)
    • Leading the “franchise team, as well as the overall strategy, long‑term vision, and development of Assassin's Creed”
  • Jean Guesdon (Head of Content)
    • Will lead “the creative direction of the franchise, support ongoing projects, and help shape the franchise’s future while ensuring it remains true to its DNA”
  • François De Billy (Head of Production Excellence)
    • Tasked with “strengthening production practices and execution across the franchise”

Being one of Ubisoft’s biggest franchises, the publisher already had a solid half-a-dozen entries in development in one form or another. With some of these having reportedly since been cancelled, it will be interesting to see how this new trio navigate the future of the AC franchise. Additional details on each of these new heads can be found HERE.
