Mitsubishi promises authentic off-road performance for the new Pajero.

A digital Multi Meter brings back the classic triple-gauge pod look.

It’s expected to reach North America wearing the Montero name.

The teaser campaign for the long-awaited Mitsubishi Pajero, offered as the Montero in some markets, including North America, is picking up pace ahead of an autumn reveal. Mitsubishi has already shown the flagship cross-country SUV’s lighting signature. Now it turns to the interior, with a high-tech reinterpretation of the triple gauge pod that defined earlier Pajeros, this time with the off-road mission front and center.

var adpushup = window.adpushup = window.adpushup || {que:[]};

adpushup.que.push(function() {

if (adpushup.config.platform !== "DESKTOP"){

adpushup.triggerAd("0f7e3106-c4d6-4db4-8135-c508879a76f8");

} else {

adpushup.triggerAd("82503191-e1d1-435a-874f-9c78a2a54a2f");

}

});

According to Mitsubishi, the new Pajero “is engineered to deliver authentic off-road performance that enables safe, secure and comfortable driving across various weather and road conditions.”

That mission shows up first on the instrument panel. A digital Multi Meter display reads out altitude, roll and pitch angles, compass heading, ambient temperature, and torque distribution in real time. The round dials echo the analogue gauges of the second- and third-generation Pajero, back when an inclinometer counted as standard kit for the terrain these trucks were sent to cross.

var adpushup = window.adpushup = window.adpushup || {que:[]};

adpushup.que.push(function() {

if (adpushup.config.platform === "DESKTOP"){

adpushup.triggerAd("ea4d4b5a-f8e5-4d5d-9d9a-53a3b956b6cd");

} else{

adpushup.triggerAd("44c0a4dc-e25b-4ba5-ac64-2c510461b92a");

}

});

The digital Multi Meter of the new Pajero is a nod to the analog dials of its predecessors.

On the styling front, T-shaped LEDs frame the triple diamond emblem. Earlier teasers and spy shots point to traditional off-roader proportions, with a boxy nose, squared-off wheel arches, a sculpted hood and fenders, thick C-pillars, and an upright tail.

Mitsubishi has confirmed the SUV will ride on the ladder-frame architecture of the Triton pickup, as the Pajero Sport once did. The company promised “model-specific development of the cabin and front and rear suspension,” allowing the new Pajero to pair “outstanding off-road capability” with a “refined and comfortable ride.”

The powertrain will most likely be electrified , with the Pajero counting as one of Mitsubishi’s five self-charging hybrids or five plug-in hybrids due over the next six years.

}

});

The automaker will keep dripping out details on a dedicated teaser website. Beyond the flagship SUV, the future Pajero family will add a rugged kei car and another compact SUV.

The official debut is scheduled for autumn 2026, five years after the previous generation went out of production. The SUV is also expected to reach North America, reviving the Montero nameplate, though it isn’t expected to arrive here before 2030.

Resident Evil 2 director and Devil May Cry creator Hideki Kamiya has jokingly detailed a concept for a cozy life sim game starring a retired Leon Kennedy.

Outside of series creator Shinji Mikami, you could make an argument for Kamiya being the most impactful person to be involved with the Resident Evil series. After the original game was the first game he was credited on, Kamiya then directed Resident Evil 2 which is still considered by many to be one of, if not the best game in the series. That second game is also the one that introduced us to Leon Kennedy, who has gone on to be the series' most beloved character.

But despite his massive impact on the series and the survival horror genre in general, Kamiya has openly said he hates horror , and earlier this year he pitched Capcom creating a "'non-scary' mode" for Resident Evil Requiem so he could enjoy the game's puzzles in peace. Now, over on Twitter (translated by Automaton ) Kamiya has responded to fan requests for him to return to the Resident Evil series – which he hasn't been involved with since his Resident Evil 4 turned into Devil May Cry – by detailing what he would do with a new game.

Kamiya says if he made a new Resident Evil title, "it'd be a game where a retired Leon spends his days in the countryside fishing, gathering wild vegetables, baking bread, walking his dog, tending to his garden, driving 50 kilometers to the nearest general store, inviting his old friends over for barbecues, fixing his elderly neighbour's oven, and selling homemade lemonade at the local festival. Would you still be OK with that?"

Given how huge the cozy game market is, people naturally are still OK with that, with one comment saying they'd be interested in "Resident Evil Pokopia." Kamiya acknowledges the fan response, saying: "Capcom, there seem to be a lot of people asking for a Resident not-Evil game like this. If you ever have the time, please consider making it… I'd like to play it too."

Debates over Supergirl 's divisive needle drop went down to the "very last week" according to director Craig Gillespie.

The moment in question, during Supergirl's final act, features a Kelty Greye cover of 'The Middle' by Jimmy Eat World, a much slower tempo version of the song that audiences largely felt were at odds with the tone of the scene and the movie as a whole.

"There were a lot of options," Supergirl writer Ana Nogueira told Rolling Stone , with Gillespie revealing that "there were probably about 45 songs that went against that scene."

Gillespie said, "That was probably the biggest discussion. And it was down to the very last week, and I gotta give James [Gunn] credit for that one." He added that "a remix of a classic" was also a runner-up for the soundtracked scene – but didn't say what it was.

Reacting to the news, Greye wrote on Instagram , "As a proud nerd who was raised on superhero movies, this is quite literally a dream come true!"

Gunn, of course, is renowned for his deployment of pop and rock songs in his films, from the '80s-heavy Guardians of the Galaxy to the earworms of Peacemaker's opening titles sequences in its first two seasons. Fans may be less pleased with his contributions here, however.

All told, Supergirl has disappointed in its opening weekend. Its global opening of $68 million has led DC Studios co-CEO Peter Safran to release a statement .

Safran told The New York Times , "While Supergirl didn't meet our box office expectations, it’s just one component of a broader, long-term strategy at DC Studios that we remain confident in."

Supergirl is now out in cinemas. For more, check out our spoiler-filled breakdown of the Supergirl ending , plus a rundown of all the major differences between the DCU movie and the Woman of Tomorrow comic .

TL;DR

AYN has announced that its Thor and Odin series handhelds are getting another price hike on Friday.

The Thor devices are now $10 to $30 more expensive, while the Odin 2 Portal and Odin 3 handhelds go up by $10.

The price increase goes into effect on Friday, so you still have a few days to act if you’re keen on these devices.

AYN is one of the more premium Android handheld brands out there, but it hasn’t been immune to the RAM crisis. The company previously announced price hikes early this year for some models, but it’s now revealed even more bad news.

AYN confirmed on Discord that the Thor, Odin 3, and Odin 2 Portal handhelds will all receive price increases on Friday (July 3). The firm explained that the Thor Lite, Base, Pro, and Max 512GB models will all receive $10 price hikes. Meanwhile, the Max 1TB model will go up by $30. Big oof. Check out the screenshot below for a look at current prices compared to the new prices.
