Insider Report: Activision's Sledgehammer Team Prototyping a Halo Reboot on Call of Duty Engine

Insider reports suggest Activision is developing a soft reboot of the Halo franchise, potentially focusing on Master Chief's origins, using the Infinity Ward Engine. The project, led by a team within Sledgehammer Games, has moved from separate multiplayer and campaign prototypes to a single combined title. This development follows Microsoft's restructuring, which transferred Halo to Activision and closed Halo Studios, raising concerns among former developers about the future of the franchise and the potential loss of proprietary technology like the Slipstream engine.

iPhone 18 Pro Face ID Glitch Triggers Freezes and Reboots

Cregger’s Resident Evil Reboot Scores Franchise-Record $60M Opening

Zach Cregger’s reboot of Resident Evil debuts to $60 million at the domestic box office, easily surpassing expectations and setting the franchise’s largest opening weekend. The favorable reviews and strong word-of-mouth—96% on Rotten Tomatoes and a B+ CinemaScore—help fuel the performance, following Cregger’s earlier hit Weapons. Sony paid about $75 million to produce the film, which stars Austin Abrams, and the strong debut boosts fall box-office momentum as the industry looks ahead to several new releases.

Cregger’s Resident Evil Reboot Aims for a Big Box-Office Kickoff

The $75 million production would potentially become the franchise’s highest-opening title as it restarts Capcom’s video game adaptation, following Cregger’s recent horror successes Barbarian and Weapons.

Cregger Rejuvenates Resident Evil with a Lean, Gutsy Thrill Ride

Zach Cregger’s reboot of the Resident Evil film series revitalizes the franchise with a lean, 90-minute thriller that swaps out game characters for Cregger’s brisk, witty direction. Following a medical courier who takes a dangerous last-minute delivery through a zombie‑infested Raccoon City, the film blends tense set-pieces, sharp humor, and occasional first‑person perspective to mimic the games’ intensity while delivering a self-contained, propulsive horror experience that feels fresh and entertaining.

Windows 11 consolidates updates into a single monthly reboot to cut interruptions

Microsoft says Windows 11 versions 24H2/25H2/26H1 will bundle driver updates, .NET updates, and firmware updates with the monthly security update, so a device restarts only once per month starting with July 28, 2026 updates and rolling out via August 14 Patch Tuesday. The bundled updates appear under Available updates and will install together on the monthly cycle; exceptions include Defender/AI/critical/expedited driver updates and emergency fixes that install immediately. Users can pause updates up to 35 days, and can restart earlier if desired. The change aims to reduce the long-standing multiple-restart interruptions of Windows Update.
