New Dino Survival Game: The Lost Wild Comes To PS5 and PC in 2027

Great Ape Games has announced The Lost Wild, a survival horror game set to launch on PlayStation 5 and PC in 2027. The game focuses on survival around dinosaurs, emphasizing observation, instinct, and restraint rather than combat. Players must navigate a world where dinosaurs are portrayed as believable animals, fostering a sense of vulnerability and tension. The gameplay involves studying dinosaur behavior and using the environment to evade threats. The narrative unfolds through environmental storytelling, allowing players to piece together the island's history. The game aims to create a unique form of fear that emphasizes the player's lack of control and respect for the dinosaurs. Players can wishlist the game on PS5 or Steam.

Microsoft Brings AI Agents Directly Into the Windows Terminal

Microsoft has released Intelligent Terminal 0.1, an open-source variant of Windows Terminal that includes native agent functionality. It can be installed via the Microsoft Store or WinGet and operates alongside the existing Windows Terminal. Intelligent Terminal allows users to troubleshoot issues directly within the terminal by interacting with an AI agent that understands the terminal context. The tool features a persistent agent pane for seamless interaction, with GitHub Copilot CLI as the default agent, though it supports any ACP-compatible agent. Automatic error detection is included, providing users with relevant error context and potential fixes. An agent management panel helps users oversee multiple agents and their statuses. The Command Palette has been updated to facilitate agent interactions without disrupting the workflow. Microsoft plans to evolve Intelligent Terminal based on community feedback, with its GitHub repository open for contributions. The release also marks the phasing out of Terminal Chat in Windows Terminal Canary, while the mainline Windows Terminal remains unchanged.

Meta loses challenge against EU gatekeeper label for Messenger

Meta Platforms has faced a setback as the EU's second-highest court upheld the European Commission's classification of the Messenger app as a 'gatekeeper,' confirming its role as a crucial gateway for businesses to connect with users. However, the court annulled the gatekeeper designation for Meta's Marketplace platform, stating that the Commission had not sufficiently justified this classification. The court's ruling on Marketplace is less significant, as the Commission had already rescinded the gatekeeper label for it last year. A Meta spokesperson expressed relief over the decision regarding Marketplace and mentioned the company is reviewing the findings on Messenger. The ruling is subject to appeal at the Court of Justice of the European Union.
