In one of the strangest and most bizarre twists in gaming, KFC in partnership with Cooler Master have announced the KFConsole. Yes, this is something that actually exists and will be releasing soon. Touted as having a built-in chicken warmer (which seems to be the selling point for many gamers), the console also sports some interesting power beneath its strange hood. To sum up everything we know about the KFConsole, we've decided to list all the features and points of interest ahead of the console's inevitable arrival in the known world. READ MORE: Team Ninja Has No Plans for Nioh 3 or New Ninja Gaiden Right Now According to Cooler Master, the KFConsole will be able to boast 4K gaming at stunning 240FPS. However, the main attraction is the built-in Chicken Chamber, which will use the system's natural heat and airflow to keep your chicken warm in between those tight Call of Duty matches. The console is designed by Swedish craftsman "Timpelay" in partnership with Cooler Master, sporting a circular design with several different chambers and compartments for the tech - as well as the food. At the heart of the machine sits an Intel Nuc 9 Extreme Compute Element housed in a custom Cooler Master NC100 chassis. But that's not all. It will also feature an interchangeable GPU slot, ensuring that the console remains relevant for many years to come and allowing gamers to tailor the console to be as powerful as they want. Speed is the name of the game in this console generation, and the KFConsole is no slouch in this department either. It will support a PCIe NVMe that promises to be six times faster than what we have, complete with not one but two Seagate BarraCuda 1TB SSDs to boot. Many other features include it being VR Ready, having Ray Tracing capabilities, donning 240FPS with 240Hz output, and supporting 4K displays. Now that the KFConsole is a real thing, many gamers have taken kindly to KFC's humble entry into the gaming market. We'll just have to be patient and see how this plays out, but it looks like a new contender has entered the ring that has caught literally everyone off-guard. If you ask me, I'm just glad I can keep my Pops warm while playing Apex Legends. There's currently no known pricing or release date for the console yet, but we've reached out to Cooler Master for more local release and pricing info. We'll provide an update as soon as we know.

It's been speculated for a while that Team Ninja has been working on a potential revival of the Ninja Gaiden series. Earlier this year, they revealed that they'll have many games to announce in 2021, but for clarities sake, it looks like they've put to rest rumours of a new Ninja Gaiden or Nioh. It seems like Team Ninja are working on other projects at the moment, possibly new IPs, and it's doubtful that they'll revive the Ninja Gaiden series like many fans hoped. READ MORE: Sony Santa Monica is Hiring for an Unannounced "Large-Scale" Game In a recent interview with The Gamer, Team Ninja's Fumihiko Yasuda, the director of Nioh, cleared up some rumours about their future plans. It was revealed in the interview that Yasuda and team have no plans to develop Nioh 3 right now (though it's possible that'll change in the future), but most of all, there are definitely no plans for a new Ninja Gaiden game. Yasuda expresses interest in working on an open-world game instead, though it remains to be seen if one of the new announced titles from Team Ninja might fit with his description and interests. So without having any plans for heavy-hitters like Nioh and Ninja Gaiden, what could Team Ninja be planning for 2021 and beyond? As most know, Team Ninja also develop the Dead or Alive fighting game series, so some speculate that a new DOA announcement might happen this year - possibly an ultimate edition of the newest entry, Dead or Alive 6. Team Ninja is no stranger to working with Nintendo, as they've previously developed or co-developed games like Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3: The Black Order, Fire Emblem Warriors and Hyrule Warriors specifically for Nintendo consoles. It's possible that they were working on more exclusive Nintendo games which they plan to reveal this year. We're still a little bummed that Nioh 3 or Ninja Gaiden aren't in the pipeline, but we can't wait to see what other new experiences they have in store.

Bloober Team, the developers behind the Layers of Fear series and Blair Witch, are preparing for the launch of their next horror title, The Medium. Largely inspired by Konami and Team Silent's legendary Silent Hill, The Medium sets itself apart by allowing players to traverse two realms at once, in one seamless gameplay experience. This concept alone makes it enough to be a current-gen game only, as the processing power needed to accomplish this is something last-gen consoles simply cannot achieve. That said, PC players will also need a bit of muscle to get The Medium running optimally on their rigs. READ MORE: Fallout: New Vegas Sequel Rumoured to be in the Works Bloober Team recently released the PC system requirements for The Medium, with the RTX 3080 specifically needed for 4K/30fps and Ray Tracing. If you'd like to experience this horror game to its fullest, you'll need quite a good PC rig to get that enjoyment. Minimum will require players to at least have a GTX 1060 (which many might argue is becoming par for the course these days), though it gets increasingly more taxing as it escalates. In addition to these PC system requirements, Bloober Team also released a brand new video titled "What Does a Medium Do?" Check out the full PC system requirements below: The official description for The Medium's latest trailer reads: "Behind the thin veil that separates us from the spirit world, a Medium can find lost souls on their way to the afterlife. For Marianne, helping them cross over has almost become her life's purpose. Take a look at our next Premonition video, in which we show you some of the unique skills of a Medium. Discover a dark mystery only a medium can solve. Explore the real world and the spirit world at the same time. Use your psychic abilities to solve puzzles spanning both worlds, uncover deeply disturbing secrets, and survive encounters with The Maw - a monster born from an unspeakable tragedy." The Medium launches on January 28th, 2021 for Xbox Series X/S (coming to Game Pass at launch) and PC.

Sony Santa Monica, the studio behind 2018's critically acclaimed God of War, may have their hands full now with the newly announced sequel, God of War: Ragnarok, potentially on the horizon. However, that doesn't seem to be the only massive project they're currently working on. A recent job listing indicates that the studio is working on a "large-scale" new project, and before anyone guesses this might be God of War: Ragnarok, the title is unannounced. Not much information was given about this mysterious project, but now we know there's more cooking over at Sony Santa Monica. READ MORE: Fallout: New Vegas Sequel Rumoured to be in the Works SIE Santa Monica recently put out a job ad looking for an art director to lead teams of artists and creatives. The role requirements read: "We are seeking an experienced Art Director for the development of a new unannounced title! Do you love collaborating to build genre-defining games? Join us as we embark on a new journey! [The applicant should] have practical experience in defining and maintaining a world-class artistic vision to support the overall game vision with a proven execution to ship. They will coordinate large teams of artists across multiple subject areas to execute on the creative promise for a large-scale new project." A while back, Sony Santa Monica director Cory Barlog changed his profile pic and header on his official Twitter, showing a satellite and outer space. Barlog removed the images shortly after without any new announcement related to it. Could this new project be related to those space images? We can't know for certain as this is just all speculation, but Sony Santa Monica looks like they'll be busy for 2021 on the next God of War, so this project is still far off from a reveal or release. It's no surprise that Sony chose to expand Santa Monica to work on multiple projects now either, given God of War's enormous success. Meanwhile, first-party Sony studios like Insomniac Games have also been working on multiple projects with the recently released Spider-Man: Miles Morales and the upcoming Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart. God of War: Ragnarok (working title) is currently in development and releases in 2021.
