▪️ No current confirmation on whether Uncharted 5 is in active development
▪️ The situation remains unclear today

Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis | Rumored Delay

According to the same leaker
(@RaidersSociety) who revealed the game’s existence days before its official TGA 2025 announcement, the Tomb Raider 1 remake is now targeting a February 2027 release instead of its original 2026 window


Game: Full remake/reimagining of the 1996 classic

Original Window: 2026

New Target: February 2027 (rumored)

Why it makes sense: A packed fall 2026 lineup (GTA VI, Wolverine, Fable) and Crystal Dynamics’ recent restructuring/layoffs make a delay plausible

Note: No official confirmation from Crystal Dynamics or Amazon Games yet

February 2027 would still land ahead of Tomb Raider: Catalyst (brand new entry) — currently still scheduled for 2027 as well

DDR5 PRICE PLUMMET SENDS SHOCKWAVES THROUGH MEMORY INDUSTRY

The memory market just flipped. After months of relentless price surges, DDR5 prices in China have crashed over 30% in a matter of days

What triggered the collapse:

▪️ Google’s TurboQuant algorithm — a new AI memory compression tech that sparked panic about falling demand
▪️ Hoarding panic — scalpers and investors dumping stock after prices soared too high
▪️ Consumer demand frozen — DIY PC sales dropped 60%


The financial bloodbath:
▪️ SK hynix ▼7.56%
▪️ Samsung Electronics ▼5.16%
▪️ Micron ▼~10% (target price cut 17% by Citi)
▪️ Combined market cap losses: Hundreds of billions of dollars in one

⚠️ BUT:

▪️ Contract prices remain stable — only spot market is crashing
▪️ Enterprise/HBM prices are RISING — AI demand hasn’t cooled
▪️ Analysts call this a “panic-driven correction” — not a trend reversal
For gamers: short-term relief.
