Archie Comics have been all the rage since their start back in the 40s. 20 years later, they brought Sabrina the Teenage Witch into the fold and the rest was made in Riverdale history. Now, there is a new take on Sabrina the Teenage Witch coming for fans of the character with some pretty powerful people bringing her to life. Hugo Award-nominated writer Corinna Bechko , who has written iconic stories for characters like the Green Lanterns and the Na'vi of James Cameron 's Avatar franchise, is set to tell her Sabrina story with Eisner Award-Nominated Artist Kano . And we have exclusive pages from Bechko's comic to get fans excited for its October release.

The full scale of Xbox's rash of layoffs is still to be properly tallied up—partially because CEO Asha Sharma is yet to announce a further 1,600 axed roles. One particularly harsh casualty is id Software, which has taken around 136 job losses on the chin. A move that one employee described this week as reducing it to the size of a "support studio" .

We're just now learning about the projects that the developer, which had just released a large DLC for Doom: The Dark Ages, was cooking—courtesy of Gamesbeat . The report states that id Software was looking to pitch a Perfect Dark reboot:

"The team was also considering doing a game based on Perfect Dark, the franchise that hasn’t had a new addition since Perfect Dark Zero in 2005 on the Xbox 360 game console … Concept art was in the works."

And, listen—it's not confirmed this pitch hasn't been picked up, or even that it's been impacted the layoffs. But I think we can all take a deeply educated guess that it's unlikely id Software is going to have the resources to make it. It's a studio whose majority of staff has been shown the door, forced off its homegrown game engine and forced to work in Unreal. Chances of it happening are microscopically slim.

Which wouldn't be the first time Microsoft has killed a Perfect Dark reboot in the past five years. Back in 2025, a staggering 9,000 layoffs saw developer The Initiative closed , and their version of the game—which had an impressive gameplay demo in 2024—tossed into Microsoft's growing landfill of shuttered projects.

Another project from the hollowed-out studio that likely won't see the light of day is a John Wick-inspired game dubbed "Fury", says the Gamesbeat report:

"It had elements of sci-fi, noir, and Louisiana and Chicago gangsters. It had a modern, cyberpunk-like feel. It had a concept called Gun Fu, which combined gunplay with martial arts. The game was supposed to feel a lot like a John Wick movie, but it was not formally greenlit for production."

Sounds awesome, and I figure if anyone could've pulled it off, it would've been id Software, progenitors of Doom—shooter experts in their own right. Will it ever see the light of day? Well, Microsoft would have to restore an estimated 3/4ths of its staff, first. I legitimately can't think of a game that a studio who has lost that much talent could even make. When your co-founder's mourning their own former studio , you're probably in trouble.

MG’s Go! concept takes inspiration from past MGs like the B GT, 6R4, Metro Turbo and ZR.

Fat-arched electric hatch previews the production MG2 electric subcompact coming 2027.

Cyber Concept is a sporty-looking flagship SUV that’s less production-ready than the Go!

The Car of the Year-winning Renault 5 and its Mini Cooper E rival have proved that affordable EVs can actually have personality, and now MG wants in on the action. The British-born, but Chinese-owned brand is coming to the 2026 Goodwood Festival of Speed with two concept cars, one of which previews a Renault 5 rival called the MG2 on sale in 2027.

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");

}

});

Called the MG Go!, it’s a compact electric hatchback that takes inspiration from a diverse collection of past MGs, including the MGB GT and MG 6R4 Group B rally car. Another less famous but notable car MG’s press bumf namechecks is the 2000s ZR, which was massively popular with young drivers thanks to its fun chassis, tough styling and low insurance and running costs. No doubt the brand is hoping the 2 will do the same 25 years later.

MG says the goal wasn’t to recreate the past but to borrow from it to build something with emotional appeal today. So while you can clearly see nods to the MGB GT in the face created by the grille outline and headlights, plus the shape of the C pillar, and the swollen fenders subtly tip a hat to the 6R4 , the overall look is very modern, and hugely appealing.

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

adpushup.que.push(function() {

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

adpushup.triggerAd("89c65a14-4682-4807-a4bb-5436c5361bee");

} else{

adpushup.triggerAd("f25825bd-1260-4574-84ce-2b26e315fad8");

}

});

The second MG concept coming to Goodwood heads in almost the opposite direction. The Cyber Concept imagines a large electric performance SUV flagship that’s definitely not aimed at young, cost-conscious drivers.

Ferrari SUV Vibes

It’s supposedly inspired partly by MG’s record-breaking EX181 streamliner from the late 1950s, although thankfully it doesn’t resemble an enormous silver torpedo. Instead, the swoopy, muscular Cyber Concept bears more than a passing resemblance to a Ferrari Purosangue, while the taillights might look familiar to Hyundai Tucson owners.

While the Go! is primed to return as a production model in two years, it sounds like the Cyber is much further away from the showroom, lacking even an interior at this stage. And even if it does translate to the street, an MG spokesman told Autocar it might not be offered in the UK.
