What’s next for Star Wars after Grogu interest plummets? Can a Streets of Rage movie be as funny as Sonic’s live-action debut? Will a Baldur’s Gate 2 remake give the classic CRPG a Baldur’s Gate 3–style makeover? It’s a belated edition of Kotaku Checkpoint for June 1, 2026, where we are getting prepared like everyone else for this week’s Not-E3 Geoff Keighley–palooza. It’ll be interesting to see how this year’s showcases contend with the Grand Theft Auto 6-sized sinkhole waiting near the end of the holiday release window. I hope we still get plenty of cool announcements, even if no one…
Raging outbreak CEPI will also provide $3.2 million to the International AIDS Vaccine Initiative, which is developing a vaccine that uses the same technology as Merck’s approved Ebola vaccine, Ervebo, which targets the more common Zaire ebolavirus strain. Last, the CEPI is committing $8.6 million to the University of Oxford and Serum Institute of India, which is using its adenovirus-based vaccine platform, as it did for its COVID-19 vaccine during the pandemic.

GameStop shoppers, beware. It sounds like the retailer is on the cusp of inserting some sort of consumer-facing AI garbage into its shopping experience. This comes from the company’s annual report, published a little over a week ago. It’s traditional in annual reports for companies to spend roughly half of the total page count outlining strategic risks to the company’s bottom line, so that investors can have a clear picture of what sorts of things might cause the stock price to crash or the company to go under. For most companies, a lot of these risk factors seem both obvious…
It’s a regrettable reality that there is never enough time to cover all the interesting scientific stories we come across. So every month, we highlight a handful of the best stories that nearly slipped through the cracks. May’s list includes the discovery of a possible prehistoric mining site in the Pyrenees; a new species of tiny blue octopus; why cats seem to prefer silver vine to catnip; and why political polarization might behave like a phase transition, among other noteworthy stories.

On June 1, Epic released the first official trailer for Fortnite Season 7 Chapter 3, which launches this upcoming weekend. The trailer is what…
Altman accused of making ChatGPT unsafe The lawsuit joins prior suits accusing Altman of callously deploying AI systems without regard for user safety. In his complaint, Uthmeier recalled how Altman told TED2025 attendees that right now “the stakes are relatively low” for OpenAI to safety-test its products on real users, which he claimed is the only way to iteratively improve them. “But the stakes aren’t low,” Uthmeier said. “Floridians—including our vulnerable children—have suffered monetary loss, mental health harms, cognitive decline, and physical harm from Defendants’ deceptive, unethical, and recklessly dangerous conduct. Defendants must be held accountable for the harm they…
If you were as confused as me (and the entire tech world) when Lenovo announced a few months back that its latest gaming-centric tablet would cost a whopping $849.99 stateside, you’ll be happy to find out that the Legion Tab Gen 5 is… not that expensive anymore.For the first time since its US commercial debut in early May, the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 powerhouse is marked down on its manufacturer’s official regional website, although I’m not sure that it would be fair to call it affordable just yet. Lenovo Legion Tab Gen 5 $699 99 $849 99 $150 off…

The oddly contrived mystery surrounding the justification for Ben’s arrest has resulted in a “Mormon Mafia” conspiracy trending online, as those following the story believe that the owners of Lego aftermarket reseller Bricks & Minifigs, who are accused of stealing the collection, are being assisted by American Fork police due to their connections with the Mormon church. If you need some…
