Jason Statham and Guy Ritchie are one of the most famous and significant duos in contemporary cinema. Both of their careers are intimately bound up with each other and it’s hard to imagine how either of them would have made it without the other. That’s why it’s always good news to know they’re going to work together again on a film, thus going back to where it all began. This marks their eighth collaboration together to date.

Two men closely linked

Because Netflix has announced Dogfight, a film they describe as “a stylish revenge action film” set in London’s criminal underworld, directed, written and produced by Guy Ritchie and starring Jason Statham. Though they haven’t given any more details about the film beyond that brief description, which would fit the vast majority of Guy Ritchie’s filmography just fine. And basically all of the collaborations between the two.

Director and actor made their film debut with the same movie in 1988, Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, which, while it was a huge success with critics and audiences, wouldn’t be the one that truly set them on the road to stardom. That would come two years later with Snatch, where Statham would have a much more significant role, catapulting both of their careers by becoming an international success with critics and audiences. After that, Statham has collaborated on four more of the director’s films (Revolver, RocknRolla, Wrath of Man and Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre) and a fifth yet to be released, Viva La Madness.

Until more details about this new project emerge, a lot of stylized action is to be expected, with blood, guns and a trademark sardonic humor. But to learn more we’ll still have to wait until Netflix or those involved reveal details at some point in the future.

With the first beta of watchOS 27.3, Apple introduces the two main Audio Intelligence features on the new Apple Watch Series 12 and Ultra 4. We’re talking about Live Rewind and Siri Recap, which thanks to the S11 chip let us revisit what we just heard and access summaries of the most important conversations. Let’s see how they work.

Revisiting a conversation and remembering its details

Live Rewind shows us a transcript of the last 15 seconds of a conversation whenever we press the Digital Crown twice. To prevent this feature from being activated covertly, the watch plays a sound and shows an animation when you activate it, alerting people nearby even if we have the Apple Watch on silent.

Siri Recap, meanwhile, creates summaries with a title and the key points of our conversations. We can schedule this feature by time and location, check the summaries in the Siri app, and save them for later. The summaries are automatically deleted after seven days, unless we decide to keep them.

Privacy and reliability, the two keys to their success

As we already saw when talking about Audio Intelligence’s privacy, the Apple Watch processes audio in a protected environment that no app, nor even the operating system itself, can access. It then uses Private Cloud Compute to generate the summaries. Both features require our explicit activation.

In both the summaries and the rewinds, the text doesn’t identify the participants, so it’s useful only for reference, not as proof of a conversation, since it’s impossible to know who said what.

For now both features are only available in English and join sound recognition and automatic song recognition via Shazam, which is also included in this version of the operating system. All in all, we have a very natural way to enjoy artificial intelligence from our wrist.

Dragon’s Dogma 2: Dark Arisen will get a special crossover next week. Straight from one of the manga and anime that have made the biggest splash in recent years, Laios and Marcille arrive in the game, protagonists of Delicious in Dungeon, a manga better known in Spain as Gluttons and Dungeons. Available as Pawns, they can be obtained from November 12, 2026 until January 28, 2027 for both Dragon’s Dogma 2 and Dragon’s Dogma 2: Dark Arisen.

A delicious manga

To claim the characters’ clothing, you won’t have to do anything special. You’ll only need to log into the game between the listed dates and it’ll be added automatically to your save file. That way, it’ll be usable even after the collaboration ends.

Gluttons and Dungeons is a manga created by Ryōko Kui that was published between February 15, 2014 and September 15, 2023. At 14 volumes long, it tells the story of a group of adventurers who must venture into a dungeon with no supplies, having to resort to feeding on the monsters that inhabit it in order to survive. Halfway through, it becomes something darker and more complex, while still revolving around what the party eats. Strongly influenced by classic videogames, like Wizardry, the manga was adapted with enormous success by studio Trigger back in 2024.

Dragon’s Dogma 2 is a Capcom action RPG known for its open world and its Western RPG influences, particularly Dungeons & Dragons. While divisive at launch, its updated version, Dark Arisen, which was released on October 9, has managed to elevate the game to cult status that may only grow over time. This collaboration only reinforces that.

Following the release of iOS 27.2, Apple has begun testing iOS 27.3, an update that includes several major changes to Siri, Safari, and the Health app. This first developer beta includes several of the most anticipated features of iOS 27, along with several new features focused on the iPhone Duo.

Siri and Health take a major leap

The Health app returns with a complete redesign along with the Insights and Longevity sections, which bring together our activity, sleep, and heart data. After disappearing late in the iOS 27.2 beta, we can now receive personalized recommendations and better understand our physical progress.

Safari Download

Siri AI also comes with a long list of new features. On devices and in regions where Siri AI is supported, we can now ask it to organize files, manage Safari tabs, or act in Mail and Calendar. Most importantly, however, Siri Rewind and Siri Recap are arriving on the Apple Watch Series 12 and Ultra 4. With these features we can view a transcript of our conversations and save it in the Siri app for future reference.

Safari, customization, and a few more surprises

Safari now has vertical tabs and an adaptive dark mode for web pages that don’t offer it and the StandBy mode now includes new faces and customization options that until now were exclusive to the iPhone Duo.

Apple has added the Selfie Sing feature in Apple Music to record karaoke videos, strength plans to Fitness+, and the easy-reach feature to the iPhone Duo. For a first beta, this is a remarkably full-featured update that, without a doubt, will continue to evolve before its official release in a few weeks.

Xbox recently carried out a round of mass layoffs that led to the closure or spin-off of several studios. Among these was Arkane Studios, developers of the Dishonored franchise and who, currently, were working on the new Blade game. But because of French legislation, which protects workers’ rights in a way that makes these closures unworkable, they haven’t been able to lay them off without first looking for a possible solution that doesn’t involve its closure. And according to recent reports, they may have found not one, but several.

Three possible buyers (or four, depending on how you read it)

According to Bloomberg, up to three potential buyers may be interested in acquiring the company based in Lyon. Although the names of two of them haven’t been revealed, since the sources didn’t want them disclosed for fear of exposing themselves, we do know the third. And it’s French too. It’s Ubisoft, which over the last year and a half has carried out multiple rounds of layoffs and has restructured its company into creative houses to gain tighter control over production.

If Ubisoft were to finally buy Arkane Lyon, it wouldn’t be the first time they’ve worked together. Arkane Studios already worked with Ubisoft on one of the company’s franchises, when they were still led by Raphaël Colantonio —who left the company in November 2019 to start a new studio, WolfEye Studio—, resulting in the divisive Dark Messiah of Might and Magic. A game which, while it’s now considered a cult title and a masterpiece of Action RPGs, can’t really be called a huge success with critics or the public.

With Microsoft having extended the deadline until December, it seems possible that an agreement can be reached. Especially since there’s also the possibility that Microsoft sell the studio to its management team and that, according to Bloomberg, it expects Blade to be ready for release by 2027 or, at the latest, 2028. So, with a game based on a popular franchise nearing release, Arkane Lyon is right now a very attractive acquisition target that it’s hard to imagine nobody being interested in.

China has refreshed its plan to put astronauts on the Moon by 2030, and the version now on the record is the clearest public outline so far. The update came from deputy chief designer Wang Xiang at the Seventh Manned Space Symposium.

In Wang’s remarks, and in material from the China Manned Space Engineering Office, the mission architecture is laid out pretty plainly. Two Long March-10 rockets would launch separately, one carrying the Mengzhou crew spacecraft and the other the Lanyue lunar lander. The two vehicles would rendezvous and dock in lunar orbit. From there, two of the three astronauts would go down to the surface while one stays aboard Mengzhou, and the lunar crew would later lift off, return to orbit, and head home. The same remarks and materials also sketch out a careful test campaign before any landing attempt: near-Earth tests of both vehicles, an uncrewed lunar mission, and what appears to be a 2027 Mengzhou test, a 2028 Lanyue test, and a 2029 dress rehearsal. That plan builds on Chang’e milestones already in the books, including the first landing on the Moon’s far side.

If you’ve been following China’s answer to NASA’s Artemis program, this update deserves attention. Wang’s remarks and the engineering office material connect the flight plan to 17 new crewed-spaceflight standards, Queqiao lunar communications work, two-way Earth-Moon laser links running at about 100 Mbps, and broader lunar plans that also involve Russia. That’s still the track China is on, even after the recent Chang’e 7 delay ahead of its south-pole attempt.

The details are in Wang’s symposium remarks and in material from the China Manned Space Engineering Office.
