Toronto-born Abęl Makkonen Tesfaye, better known as The Weeknd, gives us a sneak peek (or listen) on Instagram of the new music he’s working on. While there are no lyrics to it, you get to hear The Weeknd’s distinct vocals and instrumentals we can say are distinctly his. The Grammy award-winning singer is said to be working on his third studio album and is rumoured to be working with Daft Punk this time around. There is no official announcements about a new album but we are keeping our fingers crossed for it.

You do see a lot of in-studio photos on his Instagram so we are hoping a new album does drop soon.

‘Halo 5: Forge’ comes to Windows 10 on September 8

Microsoft and 343 Industries have announced the release date for Halo 5: Forge on Windows 10: September 8. This game puts the focus on playing multiplayer matches (no single-player campaign here) mostly on custom maps made on the PC or the Xbox One. And with its release on Windows, it gives you more leeway to use more powerful hardware. The game allows for 4K displays and has an interface that takes advantage of finer-grained mouse and keyboard controls.

Launching alongside Forge is the Anvil’s Legacy Halo 5: Guardians update, which syncs Xbox One owners with this release. It’ll let you play Forge maps made by Windows creators as well as get two new maps (one for Arena mode and one for Warzone), new skins, weapons, and attachments.
