‘Stranger Things’ will come back on July 4, 2019, releases first teaser for the next season

It’s finally here. Or at least we know it’s finally coming back. Netflix has just teased the upcoming season with a timely teaser. The Stranger Things 3 teaser dropped a few seconds into New Year’s Day by showing off the timeline of the new season, which is set in the summer of 1985, by opening on Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rocking Eve from the said year. There are many cryptic shots that we’re sure fans are going to continue to analyze until we get more details. Two key clues offered in the trailer include a computer screen with the highlighted phrase “When Blue and Yellow Meet in the West” and a hidden figure typing out commands to launch the program “SilverCatFeeds.exe.” We’re only ever really going to make sense of these when the eight-episode season drops on July 4, 2019. But feel free to dive into the world wide web and theorize away. We’d love to hear your thoughts.

Samsung releases another Galaxy Note9 Android Pie beta update

Samsung Galaxy Note9 gets its fourth Android Pie beta update. It’s rolling out to users in India, Germany, and South Korea. And it fixes some touch-related issues, including the home button hard press feature not working when the navigation gestures are enabled as well as the keyboard app not responding on the bottom right of the display. Since touch issues are considered critical bugs, this is considered the first hotfix beta for the Galaxy Note9. The Galaxy S9 and S9+ needed a couple of hotfix updates, but hopefully this won’t be the same case for the Note9.

To download the update, go into the Settings > Software update menu on your phone. From there, tap the Download and install option.

Platinum Games plans to have ‘several announcements’ in 2019

Platinum Games already have plans for Bayonetta 3 in 2019. But it looks like that isn’t the only thing the studio has planned. Platinum’s Atsushi Inaba told 4Gamer that there are several things the company is prepping in 2019. Inaba said, “Next year will be intense as usual. It seems it will be a year where Platinum Games aims to move up to new levels, so I’ll do my best… but if I end up saying something like that safely, my statement would not be interesting, right? So, next year we will make several announcements!”

As for what this means, we don’t know yet. Comicbook.com theorizes we might hear more about Scalebound, Viewtiful Joe, NieR, and Okami sequels, Vanquish, or even The Wonderful 101 and Star Fox Zero. Now, we’re going to have to wait and see if any of these games show up.
