Frictional Games introduces new 'Amnesia: The Bunker'

Frictional Games has introduced a new game into its Amnesia series. Amnesia: The Bunker is the new survival horror title with a semi-open world, sandbox-style gameplay. It looks like it's the first one to introduce guns into the series. For now, there's not much we know about the title beyond this announcement, but it's expected to launch sometime next year on Xbox, PC, and PlayStation.

“For the first time, players are equipped with high levels of freedom to impact gameplay, choosing their playstyle as they explore at will this semi-open world,” Frictional said in the press release. “With hardly any scripted events, and constant tension brought about by an ever-present threat, it is up to each player to finesse their approach to survival.”

Apple reportedly renames realityOS to xrOS

With rumours of its mixed reality headset coming soon, Apple has reportedly changed up the name of the operating system it's going to run on. Instead of going by realityOS—as it's been called in the past seven years—it now goes by xrOS. Bloomberg's Mark Gurman reported about the change in his weekly Power On newsletter. The change to "xr" supposedly makes it easier for Apple to signal that it isn't just working on augmented or virtual reality. Instead, it's pursuing that true mixed-reality experience. It would also be easier to market globally, since some may have trouble translating the word reality into the local language. It would also still fit into how the company names its different platforms.

Apple has reportedly filed applications in several countries for the name. This a sign that Apple is locking in the brand name for the final product. The mixed reality headset it's working in will reportedly launch in 2023.
