Aside from the rumoured Google Pixel Fold, the Google Pixel 7a is expected to debut at Google I/O 2023. And with it, a new colour option will be available: a coral shade. It's reminiscent of the Oh So Orange colourway for the Pixel 4 and the Pixel 6's Kinda Coral. Evan Blass has also shared this render with the orange shade dominating the back of the phone. Its camera bar gets a slightly lighter shade to distinguish it from the rest of the body.

If the leaks are accurate, this would be the first time Google offers the Pixel in four color options: white, black/grey, sky blue, and coral. Reports say the coral variant will be exclusively available at the Google Store.

'Vampire Survivors' to get an animated TV series

The newest game to potentially get an animated television series is the casual indie game Vampires Survivors. This pick-up-and-play game features 2D character sprites. If you're unfamiliar with the game, this is how it's described: "The year 2021, Rural Italy, there lived an evil person named Bisconte Draculó, whose many evil magics created a bad world filled with famine and suffering. It’s now up to the members of the Belpaese family to end his reign of terror and return good food to the table." The gameplay revolves around controlling an auto-firing character's movement and loadout as you blast away the enemies.

As for this potential series, media company Story Kitchen will collaborate with the game's creator, Luca Galante (the founder of developer poncle), to make the series. Story Kitchen is headed by Dmitri Johnson, the co-producer of the Sonic the Hedgehog movies. They're currently looking for a writer for the show.
