A new Nissan Leaf is headed our way on September 6th

Japanese automaker Nissan is now ready to unveil the second-generation of its all-electric hatchback, the Nissan Leaf. The new Leaf will be making its debut on September 6^th and Nissan teased this announcement on Twitter with an image that shows Nissan’s badge and what looks like a portion of the car’s grille. The new Leaf is expected to take style inspiration from Nissan’s IDS Concept, a five-door showcar from 2015 with autonomous drive tech and next-gen electric propulsion. Nissan has said as much that its ProPilot driver-assist technology will be coming to the leaf. This semi-autonomous system will manage things like acceleration, braking, and steering within a single lane on a freeway to help lower driver stress and increase safety.

There is hope that this model—which is expected to be a 2018 model—would improve on its 107-mile range offering, especially with more all-electric vehicles offering better mileage on it. We’re going to have to wait a few months then to get full details.

Netflix’s ‘Stranger Things’ gets Hall H panel at Comic-Con

Netflix hit Stranger Things is doing something no other original show from the streaming service has done: get a Hall H panel at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con. The 6,000-seater Hall H is known to host the biggest shows and movies we geek over. But we aren’t surprised with this development as the buzz surrounding the show has been hot since it first came out and now a second season is debuting on Halloween. They’ll be having their panel at 3 p.m. on Saturday.

Other Netflix titles making a Hall H appearance will be the original films Bright by Suicide Squad director David Ayer and its Japanese manga adaptation of Death Note.

‘Mass Effect: Andromeda’ isn’t getting a single-player DLC

If you have been waiting for a single-player DLC for Mass Effect: Andromeda, then we’re sorry to disappoint you but that isn’t going to happen. Earlier this week, a fake company called Sinclair Networks claimed on a Facebook post to have been working on a single-player, story-based DLC for the title until it was killed. BioWare producers were quick to dispute this saying that they don’t hire “fake companies” to work on their DLCs and they haven’t heard of Sinclair Networks.

Even with that news, it looks like there wasn’t even a DLC in the works in the first place. As Slash Gear points out, this marks a big change from the original Mass Effect trilogy, which always had expansions. EA won’t release any official announcements yet but it’s safe to say that an Andromeda DLC isn’t in our future, especially since the Mass Effect franchise is on hold indefinitely due to this game’s mediocre reviews.
