This Pokémon Presents teaser has me thinking the company is about to announce a rhythm game, but I'll believe it when I see it
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Another Pokémon Presents teaser has dropped on official channels It shows Pikachu looking curiously at a DJ set in the background It's unknown what this could be teasing, perhaps a rhythm game There's a new Pokémon Presents teaser that's landed on social media, showing off a rather curious visual of Pikachu standing quizzically in front of a set of DJ decks. The official Japanese Pokémon account posted the teaser to X / Twitter. Roughly translated to English, the post teases: "It seems like Pikachu is preparing something...? Stay tuned for more updates!" The next Pokémon Presents presentation is scheduled to air on July 22, at 6am PDT / 8am CT / 1pm BST / 2pm CEST. You'll be able to watch it live on the official Pokémon YouTube and Twitch channels at the time of airing. So back to the teaser in question. As an enjoyer of rhythm games, encompassing everything from PaRappa the Rapper and Rez to Guitar Hero and Rift of the NecroDancer, that's naturally where my brain takes me. And I don't think it's controversial to say a Pokémon rhythm game would be a good idea, given the sheer amount of top tunes throughout the series. I'm keeping my expectations in check, though, as Pokémon Presents showcases rarely deliver anything beyond mobile game updates and mild disappointment. The image could instead be teasing a new music-related app, an update for an existing or upcoming Pokémon title, or perhaps even a real-world event. Otherwise, I'm also hoping to see updates on Pokémon Legends Z-A, releasing for Switch and Switch 2 on October 16. More information on the upcoming Pokémon Champions would be welcome, too. And as ever, I'll be praying for the first three Pokémon generations to show up on Nintendo Switch Online, though that's usually about as likely as catching a shiny Manaphy. You might also like...

Subhanshu Shukla's Earth Reentry Captured In Stunning Dragon Capsule Video
Last Updated: The capsule's fiery plasma trail appears to streak across the heavens, a slow-motion shooting star descending toward the ocean's surface A stunning video of astronaut Shubhanshu Shukla's Dragon capsule re-entering Earth off the coast of California has been captured and widely shared across social media. The clip, shot from Marin County, California, shows the SpaceX Dragon spacecraft piercing the twilight sky like a glowing comet before splashing into the Pacific Ocean. Shared on X by space enthusiast Scott Manley, the footage was quickly picked up and reposted by Axiom Space official handle. From a distance, the capsule's fiery plasma trail appears to streak across the heavens, a slow-motion shooting star descending toward the ocean's surface. Axiom 4 Reentry from Marin county: — Scott Manley (@DJSnM) July 15, 2025 Manley's caption simply read, 'Axiom 4 Reentry from Marin County." With 1.79 million YouTube subscribers and over half a million X followers, his stunning visuals of the Axiom-4 mission reentry have reached a vast audience. He later shared another version filmed from the International Space Station, writing, 'is this the longest tracking shot in history with the camera moving at 5miles a second?" Shukla and his three fellow astronauts of the Axiom-4 mission concluded an 18-day stay aboard the International Space Station (ISS) and embarked on their return journey. The Dragon capsule 'Grace" undocked from the ISS on Monday at 4:45 pm IST (2:15 am PDT), and carried the crew safely back toward Earth. SpaceX had scheduled the de-orbit burn for 2:07 pm IST over the Pacific Ocean, followed by the release of the spacecraft's trunk and heat shield orientation at 2:26 pm IST. Atmospheric entry brought fierce heat—reaching nearly 1,600 °C—before four parachutes deployed in stages: stabilising chutes at about 5.7 km altitude, followed by main parachutes at roughly 2 km, resulting in a dramatic splashdown around 3:01 pm IST (2:31 am PDT). This mission marked a historic milestone for India, Poland, and Hungary, sending astronauts from all three countries to space after several decades. Shukla also became the second Indian to travel to space, following Rakesh Sharma's landmark journey in 1984.

Astronauts from India, Poland, Hungary return with NASA veteran from space station
LOS ANGELES, July 15 (Reuters) - NASA retiree turned private astronaut Peggy Whitson splashed down safely in the Pacific early on Tuesday after her fifth trip to the International Space Station, joined by crewmates from India, Poland and Hungary returning from their countries' first ISS mission. A SpaceX Crew Dragon capsule carrying the four-member team parachuted into calm seas off the Southern California coast at around 2:30 a.m. PDT (0930 GMT) following a fiery reentry through Earth's atmosphere that capped a 22-hour descent from orbit. The return flight concluded the fourth ISS mission organized by Texas-based startup Axiom Space in collaboration with SpaceX, the private rocket venture of billionaire Elon Musk headquartered near Los Angeles. The return was carried live by a joint SpaceX-Axiom webcast. Two sets of parachutes, visible through the darkness and light fog with infrared cameras, slowed the capsule's final descent to about 15 mph (24 kph) moments before its splashdown off San Diego. Minutes earlier, the spacecraft had been streaking like a mechanical meteor through Earth's lower atmosphere, generating enough frictional heat to send temperatures outside the capsule soaring to 3,500 degrees Fahrenheit (1,927 degrees Celsius). The astronauts' flight suits are designed to keep them cool as the cabin heats up. The Axiom-4 crew was led by Whitson, 65, who retired from NASA in 2018 after a pioneering career that included becoming the U.S. space agency's first female chief astronaut and the first woman ever to command an ISS expedition. She radioed to mission control that the crew was "happy to be back" moments after their return. A recovery ship was immediately dispatched to secure the capsule and hoist it from the ocean onto the deck of the vessel. The crew members were to be extricated from the capsule one by one and undergo medical checkups before the recovery vessel ferries them to shore, a process expected to take about an hour. Now director of human spaceflight for Axiom, Whitson has now logged 695 days in space, a U.S. record, during three previous NASA missions, a fourth flight to orbit as commander of the Axiom-2 crew in 2023 and her fifth mission to the ISS commanding Axiom-4. Rounding out the Axiom-4 crew were Shubhanshu Shukla, 39, of India, Slawosz Uznanski-Wisniewski, 41, of Poland, and Tibor Kapu, 33, of Hungary. They returned with a cargo of science samples from more than 60 microgravity experiments conducted during their 18-day visit to the ISS and due for shipment to researchers back on Earth for final analysis. For India, Poland and Hungary, the launch marked the first human spaceflight of each country in more than 40 years and the first mission ever to send astronauts from their government's respective space programs to the ISS. The participation of Shukla, an Indian air force pilot, is seen by India's space program as a precursor of sorts to the debut crewed mission of its Gaganyaan orbital spacecraft, planned for 2027. Uznanski-Wisniewski is a Polish astronaut assigned to the European Space Agency, while Kapu is part of his country's Hungarian to Orbit (HUNOR) program, though he is not the first person of Hungarian descent to board the space station. Billionaire Charles Simonyi, a Hungarian-born software designer who became a U.S. citizen in 1982, has twice visited the ISS as a space tourist, in 2007 and 2009, hitching rides aboard Russian Soyuz capsules. But like many wealthy individuals from various countries who have paid their own way for joyrides to space, Simonyi was not flying on behalf of his homeland or any government. Dubbed "Grace" by its crew, the newly commissioned capsule flown for Axiom-4 was launched from NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral in Florida on June 25, becoming the fifth vehicle in SpaceX's Crew Dragon fleet. The Ax-4 team arrived at the ISS on June 26, welcomed aboard by the station's latest rotating crew of seven occupants - three U.S. astronauts, one Japanese crewmate and three Russian cosmonauts. The two crews parted company again early on Monday when Crew Dragon Grace undocked to begin its voyage home. Axiom-4 also marks the 18th crewed spaceflight logged by SpaceX since 2020, when Musk's rocket company ushered in a new NASA era by providing American astronauts their first rides to space from U.S. soil since the end of the space shuttle program nine years earlier. For Axiom, a 9-year-old venture co-founded by NASA's former ISS program manager, the mission builds on its business of putting astronauts sponsored by private companies and foreign governments into low-Earth orbit. Axiom also is one of a handful of companies developing a commercial space station of its own intended to eventually replace the ISS, which NASA expects to retire around 2030.

EA FC 26 trailer countdown – when will the reveal trailer go live and what to expect
A countdown to when EA Sports' EA FC 26 reveal trailer will finally go live and give players a first look at the new game. It's almost time to take our first look at EA FC 26, with the EA FC 26 reveal trailer dropping very soon. After weeks of constant EA FC 26 leaks, we are finally starting to gather information about the new game from an official source, with EA Sports beginning to make its first EA FC 26 announcements over the last few days. From the EA FC 26 Ultimate Edition cover star being revealed to confirmation of the EA FC 26 Ultimate Edition pre-order bonuses, everything EA FC 26-related is starting to drop, and soon, we're set to get a first official look at the new game thanks to the EA FC 26 reveal trailer. In EA FC 25, EA 's reveal trailer was slated heavily by the Ultimate Team community, with little to no actual gameplay being shown. But, in a recent teaser for the EA FC 26 trailer posted to the @EASPORTSFC Twitter account, EA has seemingly picked up on the feedback, almost ridiculing itself for last year's trailer and giving players hope that the EA FC 26 reveal trailer will feature a lot more gameplay. But, when does the EA FC 26 reveal trailer go live? Here's a live EA FC 26 trailer countdown, as well as what we expect to see. EA FC 26 reveal trailer start time The EA FC 26 reveal trailer will go live on the EA Sports FC YouTube on Wednesday, July 16 at 8:57 am PDT / 11:57am EDT/ 4:57pm BST. We will be reacting to the trailer live on the All Out Gaming YouTube from 8:40 am PDT / 11:40am EDT/ 4:40pm BST, where you can get a detailed breakdown of what was shown in the trailer. So, when the trailer is released, what can we expect to see? Firstly, even though EA has hinted towards more actual gameplay being shown, expect a lot of dramatic, cinematic shots of players, stadiums, managers and more. With Zlatan Ibrahimovic the Ultimate Edition cover star, the Swede should be involved in the trailer, as should Cole Palmer, with the Englishman involved in the teaser trailer. Jude Bellingham and Jamal Musiala are expected to be involved with the duo leaked to feature on the EA FC 26 standard edition cover, and we may also get some shots of Bayern Munich's stadium, the Allianz Arena, with the stadium set to return in EA FC 26. Players from partner clubs like Real Madrid, Liverpool, Tottenham, and Juventus should also feature, while we should see some new FUT Icons included as well. EA will release detailed deep dives ahead of EA FC 26's release for gameplay, Ultimate Team, Career Mode and more, so gameplay-wise, we don't expect a detailed breakdown of new additions and features, but hopefully, we get a few glimpses of what we can expect in EA FC 26.
