If you’ve played any Halo games, you’ve jumped out of a Pelican, driven a Warthog or Mongoose, and hijacked a Ghost. But have you ridden in a 2001 Chevy Tahoe? Because apparently at least one of them still exists in the year 2531, according to the latest trailer for the upcoming Halo TV series (via Polygon).
One thing could be a mistake, but two make for a heck of a coincidence. It seems like these aren’t goofs like the beverages spied in Game of Thrones, but are rather something intentional. It could be time travel–that wouldn’t be out of the realm of possibility for a sci-fi show. It could be a hologram or some kind of projected image. Another possibility is that they’re fighting on Earth at a deserted outpost where a Chevy Tahoe has sat, covered in dust for 500 years. It could be that, somehow, in the 2500s, Russian guns and American trucks from the early 21st century are still in operating condition. It’s anyone’s guess at this point.
Raven’s QA workers winning the right to unionize was a short-lived victory; in the days since returning from their strike Activision has announced plans to split everyone up, and then reveal a larger strategy that’s aimed at crushing this movement before it’s allowed to take hold.

Evil Dead: The Game is no stranger to delays. The asynchronous multiplayer title based on the cult horror franchise was originally scheduled for 2021. Then it got delayed to an unspecified February 2022 date. It has now been pushed back once again, though this time it has a concrete release date: May (Friday) 13.
The game, developed by Saber Interactive, simply needs more time to come properly come together according to a message from the game’s official Twitter. The team does promise a new trailer to premiere in February.

Evil Dead: The Game was first revealed during The Game Awards 2020 and pits a team of players, taking on the role of Ash and other beloved characters, against a human-controlled monster. Last August, Saber announced a single-player mode for the game as well. Narratively, it features an amalgamation of elements from every mainline Evil Dead film (sans the 2013 reboot) and the Ash vs The Evil Dead TV series.
Evil Dead: The Game is launching on PlayStation/Xbox consoles, Switch, and PC.
