Shrek 5 is giving the titular ogre and family a new look, and it seems like only Xbox is happy about it

Everyone's favourite ogre has a new look for Shrek 5, but for some reason only Xbox seems to like it.

It's been 15 years since Shrek last received a movie, but in 2026. Shrek 5 will finally be releasing, and it even just got its first teaser trailer yesterday. The trailer in question is pointedly memey, with Shrek and Donkey asking the magic mirror who the fairest of them all is, and that's Shrek himself apparently, as he scrolls through faux TikToks of him wearing sunglasses. Doing a dance in a PVC suit that you'll probably remember as a trend on TikTok, and one of his face Photoshopped onto a very buff body. That then cuts to… well, Shrek and Donkey, only with a slight redesign, their first since the series kicked off more than two decades ago.

Fiona has one too, all three of them played by their original voice actors, Mike Myers. Eddie Murphy, and Cameron Diaz. But they're also being joined by Zendaya, who's playing Shrek and Fiona's daughter Felicia. A casting that makes perfect sense given that the original films always hired whoever was big at the time too. The thing is, not everyone is a fan of Shrek's new look. Just head to the replies on the Shrek 's posting of the trailer and you'll see comments like "what's up with their faces?" and "we changed Sonic. We can do it again."

Personally, I really don't think it looks bad at all. Weird, sure, but that's just because I've been seeing this character everywhere for almost my entire life, but the animation itself is quite nice, and much more lively than the series previously has been - clearly Dreamworks is following up a touch on the genuinely great Puss in Boots: The Last Wish.

There is one other person. Or entity, that likes it, though: Xbox UK. Yes, I too question the state of marketing these days, but Xbox UK has shared that it thinks "we are so back baby." I'm not really sure we needed any take on the state of Shrek's redesign from Xbox, but. We have it, so… that's that! Can't wait to hear what Nintendo UK thinks of the full trailer.

Shrek 5 is currently slated for release July 1. 2026.

Want to know what Geralt of Rivia was like as a moody teenager? The latest entry in The Witcher books will show you just that in English later this year

The latest entry in The Witcher books finally has an English release date, and it'll follow Geralt on his first ever mission.

Geralt's story might technically be over in both the games and the original Witcher books. But last year author Andrzej Sapkowski finally released a new novel last year acting as a prequel to all of his previous works. The only problem for us English-speakers is that so far it's only been available in Sapkowski's native Polish, but some good news came in yesterday: it's getting an English release. Alongside many other languages, later this year on September 30. This comes from a press release from Hachette, who shared that the book will be available in print and digital formats from that date, across all 21 international publishers.

The prequel, officially titled Crossroads of Ravens in English, is described as a "perfect entry point for new readers," and follows "an eighteen-year-old Geralt of Rivia." The release goes on to explain, "On his first mission from the Witcher stronghold of Kaer Morhen, Geralt will discover monsters, traitors, some new friends and. Some familiar faces, and just how deeply feared and despised Witchers can be."

Crossroad of Ravens is actually the first new entry in the series since 2013 with that year's Season of Storms, so it's been a long time coming. Not only that, but Season of Storms took five years to be translated, so Crossroad of Ravens getting so many translations in less than a year is great news for fans of the series.

On top of that, it'll likely be a great way to spend some time ahead of The Witcher 4 releasing, which is in… well. No one knows yet, because CD Projekt Red only started production on it last November. It did swiftly follow that up with a proper reveal trailer, but you can guarantee it's still a few years out, so you enhanced get reading!

The AMD Radeon RX 9070 series prices look good, assuming they hold

AMD have finally confirmed pricing, dating, and specs-ing for their first RDNA 4 graphics cards. The Radeon RX 9070 and RX 9070 XT will be out on March 6th, and start from $549 and $599 respectively. While these are still relatively fat stacks o' cash, AMD say they’ll compete with Nvidia’s RTX 5070 and RTX 5070 Ti – and considering the latter is supposed to start at $749, with most models currently going for above $800, that could make for a tasty undercutting.

The RTX 5070 hasn’t launched yet and. Its $549 MSRP is dead even with that of the RX 9070, though the Radeon does have an edge in the VRAM department, with 16GB to the GeForce’s 12GB. The RX 9070 XT shares this spec, while upping boost clock speeds from to and. Adding a few more RDNA Compute Units (64 to 56 on the RX 9070). Its RT Accelerator count also comes in at 64 to the RX 9070’s 56, so expect superior ray tracing performance as well.

Obviously, in the absence of reliable benchmarks. We can’t say for now which will be best for that crucial GPU workload of Making Numbers Go Bigger. Still, I’d argue that Nvidia and AMD haven’t so much been competing on framerates these last few years as they have on those secondary technologies: DLSS, FSR. Frame generation and so on. And here, the Radeon versions have been hopelessly outmatched, be it on visual quality, general performance, or even breadth of support among games.

Maybe that’s why the RX 9070 and RX 9070 XT are. In some ways, most RTX-like than any Radeon GPU has been for ages. By embracing a similar flavour of AI and machine learning, they’ll be the first (and, for a while, only) cards to support FSR 4. Which itself is abandoning the GPU-agnostic rule of previous versions by basing its upscaling and anti-aliasing on that very same robot brain tech. In other words, FSR is becoming much more DLSS-y. This won’t extend to copying the Multi Frame Generation component of DLSS 4, but FSR 4’s standard 2x frame gen is supposedly much sharper than stabler than that of FSR 3. While the upscaling component aims to make drastic improvements to image quality. FSR 4 will also have over 30 compatible games at launch, dozens more than FSR 3 did, and rising to 75 by the end of 2025.

Given DLSS 4 has only just launched, I think it’s probably fine if FSR 4 simply plays catch-up to DLSS on picture quality, rather than surpassing it – and. For $200 less, the RX 9070 XT could be one compelling card if it can simultaneously match the RTX 5070 Ti’s core performance. Of course, GPUs are in high demand right now, and it would be unsurprising (if deeply unfortunate) for these RDNA 4 cards to suffer the same problem of price-hiked and. Under-stocked partner models that the RTX 50 series is buckling under. AMD, one suspects, will be crossing their fingers that the eBay reseller crowd already has their hands full with garages of RTX 5080s.
