The rumors were true, Konami is remaking Hideo Kojima’s Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater. On Wednesday, Sony shared a cinematic trailer for the upcoming game during its PlayStation Showcase. The teaser didn’t offer any gameplay footage, but it did show protagonist Naked Snake before the events that transform him into Big Boss. No word yet if Hideo Kojima is involved in the project. Kojima famously had a very public split from Konami after the release of Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain. The “coming to PS5” card at the end of the trailer makes clear the game will be a multiplatform release. Metal Gear Solid Δ: Snake Eater does not have a release date.

Separately, Konami announced Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 1, a collection that will bring together Metal Gear Solid, Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty and Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater in the fall of 2023. Konami released the original Snake Eater on PlayStation 2 in the fall of 2004. One year later, the company released an expanded version of the game, known as Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence. That version of the game added a third-person camera to the game and the first iteration of Metal Gear Online.

Exciting news for those that are constantly on the go, as Elon Musk recently announced that Starlink — SpaceX’s incredible space-based internet service — can now be used almost anywhere on our beautiful planet.

With the launch of Starlink Mobility, customers can stay connected while in motion, thanks to a receiver with an expanded field of view and enhanced GPS that connects to SpaceX’s vast constellation of over 4,000 satellites in low-Earth orbit.

Musk tweeted that Starlink Mobility works “almost everywhere on Earth,” including remote areas like deserts and even the middle of oceans. The first users to test this groundbreaking service are a fleet of school buses in Arizona, enabling students to stay connected and complete their homework during their daily commutes.

SpaceX emphasizes that Starlink Mobility is perfect for mobile businesses and public sector applications such as trucking, buses, shuttles, and emergency response; for a monthly fee of $250 and a one-time hardware fee of $2,500, subscribers gain network priority during peak hours, ensuring that critical services like emergency responders won’t lose their internet connection.

The Starlink satellite dish, an advanced version of the standard hardware, can be permanently installed on vehicles, providing lightning-fast download speeds of up to 220 Mbps.

SpaceX achieved global coverage of its Starlink network last year, a remarkable feat after four years of satellite launches, still, certain countries, like China and Iran, have restricted Starlink’s operations within their borders. Nonetheless, SpaceX has ambitious plans to offer satellite-to-cellphone connectivity in the future, potentially eliminating the need for additional hardware.

If you’re curious about Starlink Mobility, visit starlink.com/mobility for more details. Remember, it offers 100% coverage in your country and every country where Starlink service is available, including most of the Earth’s oceans and seas. It looks like the future of mobile internet is here — and SpaceX is leading the way.

Sony revealed The Talos Principle 2 at its PlayStation Games Showcase today. The sequel to the 2015 first-person puzzler promises a greatly expanded scope with “more mind-bending puzzles to solve, more surreal environments to explore, more secrets to uncover, a deeper story to lose yourself in, and bigger questions to boggle your brain.” Developer Croteam describes the sequel as simultaneously familiar and fresh.

The game takes place “in an era where humanity as we know it has long gone extinct, but our culture lives on in a world inhabited by robots made in our image.” As you investigate a mysterious structure, the game will challenge you not only with puzzles, but also “questions about the nature of the cosmos, faith versus reason, and the fear of repeating humankind’s mistakes.” It appears the team hasn’t pulled back one bit from the philosophical depths plumbed in its predecessor.

As for gameplay, Croteam says the sequel will add gravity manipulation and mind transference as new mechanics. The developer also teases that it’s holding other new gameplay elements up its sleeve, including optional Gold puzzles that will “melt your brain.” Additionally, it says you’ll be “directly involved in its complex, character-driven story,” while teasing multiple endings defined by player choice. “The Talos Principle 2’s narrative is itself a puzzle to be solved, and any player who dedicates themselves to digging up its deepest, darkest secrets will have their inquisitiveness rewarded,” the developer wrote wrote.

“The Talos Principle 2 is a giant leap forward for the series — particularly the world design,” Croteam wrote. “These are the biggest, strangest, and most beautiful environments Croteam has ever made, taking full advantage of the latest in graphics tech. You’ll visit several all-new locations including a city on the brink of a paradigm shift and the varied landscapes of an island that holds the keys to the future.”

The game will launch on PlayStation 5 “later this year.”
