Aeternum Confirms Return of Unchained Summit to Dubai on October 30-31, 2025
DUBAI, UAE, July 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Following its inaugural edition, which convened stakeholders from across the global blockchain ecosystem, the Unchained Summit is set to return to Dubai on October 30–31. Organized by Aeternum, the event has positioned itself as a platform for focused discussions on Web 3.0 developments. The upcoming edition will emphasize regulatory engagement, investor-founder interaction, and sector networking, coinciding with continued growth in the UAE's blockchain and digital assets landscape. As the UAE sharpens its regulatory frameworks and capital continues to move into Web 3.0 ventures, Dubai's position as a global blockchain hub has only solidified. The timing of the second edition of Unchained Summit lands at a pivotal moment, when policy, infrastructure, and investor interest are finally aligning. The event has established itself as the #1 Web 3.0 event for high-impact networking and deal flow, driving meaningful capital, connections, and innovations on a global scale. Who's Speaking, and Why It Matters This year's programme includes a roster of prominent industry figures, such as: Eowyn Chen, CEO, Trust Wallet, brings the perspective of a company trusted by over 200 million users worldwide. Andrew Vranjes, CRO, Blockdaemon, who drives global infrastructure growth across finance and DePIN. Mark Rydon, Co-founder & CSO, Aethir, whose push into decentralized cloud is changing gaming and AI. David Norris, CFO & CSO, NEAR Foundation, whose operational rigor helps scale tomorrow's tools. Alexander Scott, Middle East Lead, Solana Superteam, enabling developer breakthroughs across MENA. Fefe Demeny, Lead Host, Crypto Banter, translating Web 3.0 for the mainstream and the next billion users. Zane Suren, MD Commercial, MEA, Zodia Custody, shaping regional digital asset regulation and custody. Bader Kalooti, Regional Head, Binance MEASAT, driving mainstream adoption at one of the world's crypto superpowers, are among the early confirmed speakers. A Shift Towards Closed-Door Networking While large-scale expos continue to dominate parts of the Web 3.0 landscape, Unchained Summit has deliberately taken a different route. Attendance is capped. Topics are curated. The format includes private roundtables, investor-founder matchmaking, and sessions tailored for decision-makers. Organisers say this was a deliberate response to what many describe as 'conference fatigue', where volume often eclipses value. "We've seen enough noise," said Sharath Kumar, Founder & CEO of Aeternum. "What the ecosystem needs is focus. Spaces where serious builders, funds, and policy makers can meet without the distractions. That's what we're trying to offer.""I'm thrilled to join the Unchained Summit in Dubai, where the brightest minds are shaping the future of blockchain infrastructure. It's an exceptional forum for collaborating on institutional-grade solutions that advance scalability, security, and interoperability, as we drive the growth of digital asset ecosystems throughout the MENA region," said Andrew Vranjes, Chief Revenue Officer, Blockdaemon. Startups Take the Stage at Unchained Pitch Competition This year's edition will also feature the launch of Unchained Pitch Competition, a focused pitch competition running alongside the main conference. Web 3.0 founders – spanning DeFi, cross-chain infrastructure, tokenized assets, and beyond - will get five minutes on stage to present in front of serious investors on what they're building and why it matters. Applications are now open and will close on 15 October 2025. Alongside the summit, Aeternum has been developing the "Hash it Over" podcast series, which has released five episodes to date. The show has featured long-form discussions with protocol leaders, infrastructure players, and early investors, offering insight into the challenges and contradictions of Web 3.0 development. Super Early Bird tickets for the 2025 summit are now available until August 1, 2025, at discounted rates. The full speaker lineup, agenda, and partner list will be announced in the coming weeks.

Games DELETED from millions of PlayStation and Xbox consoles in days – last chance to download them free
GAMERS have until midnight tonight to download a series of titles as stores continue with their sweep of closures. Tomorrow is going to be a super busy day for the PlayStation Plus subscription service. 1 That is when new games – including Cyberpunk 2077 – are going to be added. At the same time, a handful of titles such as Vampire: The Masquerade - Swansong are getting the boot. The new PS Plus Extra and Premium Games coming on July 15 include: Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden Bluey: The Videogame New World: Aeternum Planet Zoo Risk of Rain 2 Tropico 6 Twisted Metal 3 (Premium only) Twisted Metal 4 (Premium only) It comes after it was revealed Microsoft took three months to remove a game that was an edited emulation of a PlayStation title. The PlayStation Plus July 2025 Extra and Premium tier updates have been handled a little differently than usual. Instead of all the new games coming on the same day, PS Plus subscribers have been treated to one in advance. Cyberpunk 2077 has been added to the Extra tier of PlayStation Plus as part of the subscription service's 15th anniversary celebration. Huge addition It is seen as a huge addition to PS Plus and should ensure that Extra tier subscribers get more value from their subscription. Additionally, Abiotic Factor is coming to PlayStation Plus on July 22, a full week after the usual update. Abiotic Factor is a day one release and should make for an exciting addition to the lineup. Get an inside look at the new PS5 30th anniversary edition At least six games are leaving PS Plus Extra and Premium on July 15, including some rather heavy hitters. Crisis Core: Final Fantasy 7 Reunion is getting the boot, as is Dying Light 2: Stay Human. PS Plus subscribers also have to say farewell to Job Simulator, Mount and Blade 2: Bannerlord, Remnant 2, and Vampire: The Masquerade - Swan Song. Out of these, Crisis Core, Dying Light 2, and Remnant 2 will probably sting the most, though PlayStation VR owners will likely be sad to see Job Simulator go as well. Ripped off In other tech news, it was recently discovered that the Xbox storefront was playing host to an edited version of a PlayStation title being run via emulation. The game, which has since been removed by Microsoft, was sold and passed off as a legitimate game, according to The Gamer. As first spotted by TrueAchievements, and as reported on originally by Digital Foundry, Anti-Gravity Racing WipEout was originally released in April and sold for $14.99 but was not an original game. This isn't the first time that a PlayStation title was seemingly ripped off and ported to Xbox. Back in 2022, a God of War clone was available, featuring a near-identical version of Kratos. It was promptly removed.

New World: Aeternum's Springtide Bloom Returns With New Event And Loot
New World: Aeternum Springtide Bloom Amazon Games Next week, the Springtide Bloom event returns to New World: Aeternum across all platforms offering up a new in-game event and tons of seasonal rewards to earn. The event runs from May 13 until June 2 and is designed for characters level 20 or higher. In this event, players will harvest dangerous blooms known as Wispyblooms as they hunt down Wispy Wasp enemies. As you collect and deliver the event's unique resources to local Bloom Heralds, you can exchange them for Event Reputation ranks and tokens. And then using those tokens, you can unlock seasonal cosmetics, housing items, and more. You'll just have to make sure you spend all your tokens by the time the event ends on June 2, because they're only good for that specific purpose. If you've ever played an MMO or any live service game for that matter, then you're probably familiar with how these sorts of seasonal events work. They're not reinventing the wheel here, but the designs for everything look very pretty in that key art at least. You can see a big list of all the rewards on the official blog page. Admittedly, I have not tried New World again since it relaunched last year. Around the time the relaunch happened is also when Throne and Liberty came out, and I was knee-deep in running a guild for the first few months of that game's life. When New World first debuted on PC a few years ago, I was in there heavily for a couple of months as well and had a good time, but fell off like I usually do after a while. On paper, this new version of New World sounds and looks great, especially since it's also on consoles now. Plus, the game supports cross-play features as well between PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. This event isn't for a player like me who would likely be starting fresh since I wouldn't even have a character high enough level, but re-engaging fans consistently is always the recipe for success with MMOs so it's good to see strong effort from the development team here.
