Kijk achter de schermen van Spider-Man: Brand New Day in de nieuwste teaser
Gisteren verscheen The Punisher: One Last Kill op Disney+ en bood het Marvel Cinematic Universe-fans het volgende verhaal in de bredere wereld. Nu deze speciale show is gedebuteerd, is het volgende MCU-project voor 2026 de kassagigant Spider-Man: Brand New Day. Hoewel we ongetwijfeld verwachten dat Marvel Studios nog een hoofdtrailer voor deze film zal uitbrengen naarmate we steeds dichter bij de première op 31 juli komen, is voorlopig een nieuwe behind-the-scenes video gedeeld naast een extra poster.
In het korte fragment praten hoofdrolspeler Tom Holland en regisseur Destin Daniel Cretton over wat er bij het maken van de veelbelovende film kwam kijken, terwijl fragmenten uit de productie ons een voorproefje gaven van de geplande stunts. Er lijkt genoeg te zijn van de shoots die in augustus 2025 in Glasgow plaatsvonden, maar er zijn nog een paar andere traktaties, waaronder een heel kort glimpje van een besneeuwde set waar we Spidey zien met een muts en een gilet.
Ook dit komt bovenop een nieuwe poster die binnenkomt met Peter Parker/Spidey in een jasje, wat suggereert dat hoewel de première midden in de zomer zal plaatsvinden op het noordelijk halfrond, een groot deel van het verhaal zich zal afspelen in een ijziger en ijzig New York City.
Predal über mehr Vielfalt in der heutigen Animation: "Es ist eine riesige Chance für uns Künstler, unsere Arbeiten direkt auf die Leinwand zu bringen"
Während der letzten Comicon Napoli 26 hatten wir die Chance, mit vielen Profis aus den Bereichen Film, Comics und Videospiele zu sprechen. Die italienische Messe ist ein multidisziplinärer Treffpunkt für jeden Popkultur-Enthusiasten, und in diesem Jahr wurde das Plakat, das all diese Facetten der Comicon bewirbt, vom Künstler Aurélien Predal entworfen.
Der Künstler, der an einigen der erfolgreichsten Animationsfilme des letzten Jahrzehnts mitgearbeitet hat (wie Ich – Unverbesserlich, Stehen-Kopf 2, die Star Wars: Visions-Reihe und den aktuellen Realfilm Project Salvation), hat ein tiefes Verständnis sowohl für den aktuellen Stand des Mediums als auch für die Richtung, in die es sich entwickelt.
Subnautica 2 pulls over 370,000 concurrent players in its first 30 minutes on Steam as it cannonballs into early access
Considering the length of its tenure as Steam's most-wishlisted game, it was safe to suspect that Subnautica 2 would draw a crowd. Now that its early access launch day is here, those suspicions have been thoroughly validated: Less than an hour after launch, its oceans are already packed with eager explorers.
Within moments of Subnautica 2's launch time at 11 am Eastern, there were over 100,000 players in-game according to SteamDB data. 30 minutes later, that number had more than tripled to over 370,000 concurrent players.
At time of writing, at 11:44 am Eastern, that number has crested another watermark: Steam's own Most Played chart lists 426,000 users currently playing Subnautica 2, meaning it's currently the fourth most popular game on the platform behind Counter-Strike 2, PUBG, and Dota 2.
To put those numbers in context, Subnautica 2's concurrent player count is already in the neighborhood of Silksong's launch concurrent peak of 562,000—and it's done so without the benefit of Silksanity-induced collective mania. These are users being organically drawn by the siren call of a terrifying alien ocean.
It's a clear sign of a successful launch, but there are probably some at Krafton that aren't entirely thrilled: In July 2025, the publisher placed itself in a messy legal dispute by abruptly driving out Unknown Worlds' CEO and founders, a decision we later learned was informed by Krafton CEO Changhan Kim consulting ChatGPT about how to avoid paying the studio's leadership an agreed-upon $250 million bonus contingent on Subnautica 2's sales success.
In March 2026, a judge ruled that the dismissal of Unknown Worlds leadership constituted a breach of contract and ordered its CEO's reinstatement in a decision that extended the studio's timeline for earning that $250 million bonus by nine months. At this point, it's unclear whether they'll need that extra time.

AMD now owns 38.1% of the overall x86 CPU market according to new research but actually lost ground in desktop PCs
AMD now owns fully 38.1% of overall market revenues for x86 CPUs according to new data from Mercury Research (via HotHardware). That's up from 35.4% for the previous quarter. But AMD's desktop CPU market share actually fell.
AMD is doing particularly well in the server market, where it won 46.2% of revenues and 33.2% of unit sales. That means AMD server CPUs, on average, are selling for quite a bit more than Intel CPUs. Those figures are up by around 3-4% on the previous quarter.
AMD is also making up ground in laptops. Mercury's latest data puts AMD at 28.9% of overall revenues and 28.3% of unit sales. Its figures from the previous quarter are 24.9% of revenues and 26% of unit sales.
Desktop CPUs represent the lone segment where AMD is slipping a little. For the latest quarter, Mercury has AMD pegged at 37.6% of revenues and 33.2% of unit sales. That's down from 42.5% and 36.4%, respectively, for the previous quarter, which were all time highs for AMD.
Intel is, of course, AMD's only direct competitor in specifically the x86 CPU market, as opposed to the broader CPU market, which includes the likes of Arm and RISC-V chips. And desktop aside, it all looks like pretty good news for AMD.
That said, it's worth noting that Intel remains pretty dominant. It still owns 70% of the overall CPU market by unit sales. If nothing else, that's interesting in terms of what it says about how much inertia there is in the CPU market. It's not exactly a pure meritocracy.
After all, AMD has had very competitive CPUs across most market segments, and arguably superior in some, for the better part of a decade now. And yet it's still outsold more than two times over by Intel.
In some segments, that makes sense. AMD has a relatively limited offering in the mobile CPU market compared to Intel's sprawling litany of laptop CPU SKUs. But on the desktop, well, if that was purely meritocratic, Intel wouldn't have over 65% market share, that's for sure.
You'd think business customers building server farms would be pretty hard nosed about it all and go on pure merit. And AMD has indeed done better in the server market than any other segment.
But AMD's EPYC server CPUs really are very good and, I would think, most truly independent observers would argue that they deserve to be selling better than Intel's chips.
Of course, the supply and demand dynamics involved are pretty complex. AMD can't just make as many chips as it fancies on any give day, month or year. It farms out manufacture, mostly to Taiwanese fab TSMC, and that means signing forward contracts and, to an extent, being limited by TSMC's capacity.
That said, while Intel still does manufacture many of its own CPUs, it too needs to plan a long way into the future in terms of fab capacity and so on. All of which means, even if AMD suddenly offered unambiguously the best CPUs in every single segment tomorrow, it wouldn't be straight forward for that to be instantly reflected in sales figures.
Werfen Sie einen Blick hinter die Kulissen von Spider-Man: Brand New Day im neuesten Teaser
Gestern erschien The Punisher: One Last Kill auf Disney+ und servierte Marvel Cinematic Universe-Fans die nächste Geschichte in der weiteren Welt. Da diese spezielle Show nun Premiere hat, ist das nächste MCU-Projekt für 2026 der Kassenschlager Spider-Man: Brand New Day. Während wir zweifellos erwarten, dass Marvel Studios einen weiteren Haupttrailer für diesen Film veröffentlichen wird, da wir uns der Premiere am 31. Juli immer nähern, wurde vorerst ein neues Behind-the-Scenes-Video zusammen mit einem weiteren Poster geteilt.
Im kurzen Clip sprechen Hauptdarsteller Tom Holland und Regisseur Destin Daniel Cretton darüber, was in den vielversprechenden Film eingeflossen ist, während Ausschnitte aus der Produktion uns einen Vorgeschmack auf die geplanten Stunts gaben. Viele scheinen von den Shootings zu stammen, die im August 2025 in Glasgow stattfanden, aber es gibt noch ein paar andere Leckereien, darunter einen sehr kurzen Blick auf ein verschneites Set, wo wir Spidey mit Mütze und einem Gilet sehen.
Auch das kommt zusätzlich zu einem neuen Poster, das Peter Parker/Spidey in einer Jacke zeigt, was darauf hindeutet, dass die Premiere zwar mitten im Sommer auf der Nordhalbkugel stattfinden wird, aber ein Großteil der Handlung in einem eisigen und frostigen New York City spielen wird.
