Agent 64 Spies Never Die Release
Solo developer Replicant D6 just locked in the date after five and a half years of work. Agent 64: Spies Never Die hits Steam on Tuesday, August 11, 2026. This retro first-person shooter pulls straight from the Nintendo 64 era, specifically the objective-heavy chaos of GoldenEye 007 and Perfect Dark, and hands it over with modern online tools and a polished coat of paint. A free demo already sits on the store page so you can test the waters right now.

MIT Electrofluidic Fiber Muscles robots
A pair of soft white tubes no thicker than a couple of strands of spaghetti rest in a researcher’s hands. They look almost fragile, yet these fibers can pull with the strength of real muscle, stay completely silent while they work, and run for hours on nothing more than a small battery pack. Researchers at the MIT Media Lab and Politecnico di Bari just published the full details of this system in Science Robotics, and the results feel like a genuine step change for anyone building humanoid robots or wearable machines.
