The OnePlus Nord LE will be owned by only one person

The OnePlus Nord gets an exclusive variant. It's so exclusive that it'll only go to one person. And that person won't be able to buy it. The brand is giving away the OnePlus Nord LE on Instagram. The LE stands for "Literally Only One Edition." It comes in "a gradient that smoothly transitions from orange to green." And unlike the regular OnePlus Nord's glossy finish, it has a smooth one.

Aside from having a different colourway, it features the same specs as the OnePlus Nord. It runs on a Snapdragon 765G processor and comes with a 90Hz AMOLED display, 4,115mAh battery with 30W charging, and a 48-megapixel quad camera setup.

'Hitman 3' gets Elusive Targets feature

IO Interactive has finally brought its Elusive Targets feature to Hitman 3. The title's first high-stakes target will be The Collector, and it will be available until April 19. Elusive Targets entail that you only get one chance to assassinate the target. In this case, the obsessive, murderous art curator. If you botch this mission, you lose it forever. Make sure you're plenty ready to take on this mission.

The second target, The Politician, will be available from April 23 to May 3. Her location (Hawke's Bay) is part of Hitman 3's Free Starter Pack, so you have the option to play this mission without investing in the entire game. The developer has promised tweaks to the Elusive Target formula based on feedback, but its core premise and time gating remain the same.

Sony job listing hints at bringing 'popular' PlayStation games to mobile

Sony hasn't really done much with its PlayStation game franchises beyond its console. But it looks like the company has other plans. A new job listing from the company is looking for an executive to become the new Head of Mobile. The focus will be on bringing PlayStation's "most popular franchises" to mobile. Understandably, there are no mentions of titles or timeframes, but the person who gets the job will need to develop a three- to five-year strategy.

Next 'Star Trek' movie gets June 2023 release date

Source: Paramount Pictures

The last Star Trek movie came out five years ago. And it looks like Trekkies have to wait a couple more years for the next film. Paramount Pictures announced that an untitled movie from the franchise will come out on June 9, 2023. The studio hired Star Trek: Discovery writer Kalina Vazquez last month to write a film based on an idea of hers. We aren't sure if that's the same project coming out in two years. 

It isn't also clear if Paramount will stick to this announced date. The studio has attempted to make follow-ups to Star Trek: Beyond, but nothing has materialized so far. And we can't discount what effect COVID-19 might have. We're just hoping it comes out sooner rather than later.
