Amazon reveals first look at TV show Fallout
We still don’t know much about Amazon’s upcoming Fallout series, but we do know a little more now thanks to a new screenshot shared by the company for the franchise’s 25th anniversary. In the screenshot, we can see several Vault Dwellers presumably leaving Vault 33 for the very first time, as several are slightly startled by the large Vault door while a person stands in the doorway.

Nine months of Genshin effect updates potentially leaked
The developer of Genshin Impact – Mihoyo – probably hasn’t had the best of days today, as it seems a “tsunami” of information about the title’s future for the next nine months has leaked online. It’s not entirely clear if this was a leak or if Mihoyo has been hacked, but all of this information was apparently pulled from the developer’s internal servers. That means if you want to keep future reveals a surprise, you may need to be more diligent on social media.
