French developer and publisher DON'T NOD has presented a new trailer for Aphelion, its upcoming cinematic third-person action-adventure game launching in 2026, at the ID@Xbox Showcase. The trailer reveals Ariane's fellow astronaut Thomas Cross as a playable character, and showcases brand-new stealth sequences, the never-before-seen alien antagonist, new environments, and the in-game spacesuit patch designed in collaboration with the European Space Agency (ESA).

Aphelion is a sci-fi action-adventure on the edge of the solar system. In the shoes of ESA astronauts Ariane and Thomas, players will explore and survey the uncharted planet Persephone and solve the mystery of the crash, all while trying to survive in the terrifying presence of an unknown enemy. At its heart, the game is an emotional tale about love, resilience, hope, and what we bring with us when everything is lost.

This is followed by a four player co-op survival horror game with several twists, an bloodthirsty monsters island survival horror game, a re-make of a couple of classic RPG games and finally some more survival horror, this time with a '90's theme.

With continuous support from its growing community, Epomaker has received valuable feedback and suggestions. Many community members have expressed a desire for mice that not only offer a visually striking design but also deliver exceptional performance. In response to this, Epomaker is proud to announce the launch of two new mice, designed and developed based on the input of its dedicated users.

Although Epomaker is not a traditional mouse brand, the CarbonX was designed from the outset to break the mold. Featuring an innovative aerospace-grade carbon fiber shell, this mouse combines a lightweight 50 g build with exceptional durability, efficient heat dissipation, and a comfortable user experience.
To achieve a more stable 8 kHz polling rate, the Epomaker CarbonX moves away from traditional, lower-cost sensors, opting for the high-performance PixArt PAW3950 sensor. Paired with Omron optical switches, the Epomaker CarbonX is designed to assist users in achieving peak performance in both gaming and daily use, with a lifespan of up to 1 million clicks. An 8 kHz polling rate is a rare feature found only in high-end gaming mice, providing an ultra-fast response speed that is several times that of most wireless mice.
