While Geoff Keighley had already announced that Tomb Raider would be making a Game Awards appearance, the surprise was that instead of one game announcement there’s two. Crystal Dynamics and Amazon Game Studios are releasing two Tomb Raider games back-to-back in 2026 and 2027. First up, coming in 2026 is Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis. Don’t let the fancy name fool you though, Legacy of Atlantis is the Unreal Engine 5 version of the first Tomb Raider game, a remake similar to Tomb Raider Anniversary which updated the 1997 original PlayStation game for the PS2.
But that’s not all. In 2027, the Tomb Raider team will release another game, Tomb Raider Catalyst which is an all new adventure that looks like it features an all new Lara. Real Tomb Raider heads know that Lara Croft was originally envisioned as Laura Cruz, a South American woman, before she was British-ed her up to what we know today. The woman in Catalyst looks like a Lara paying homage to her origins as a woman of color. We don’t know much about either game, but hey, I’ll never be mad that I’m getting two new Tomb Raiders to play.
After the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City alum was released early from the Federal Prison Camp (FPC) in Bryan, Texas—serving only two of her six-and-a-half year sentence for wire fraud—she was photographed at the Salt Lake City International Airport.
The 52-year-old appeared overjoyed to reunite with family and friends, sporting a burnt orange peacoat and big cat eye sunglasses as she was presented with bouquets of flowers, a lei and balloons. Although she had been traveling, Jen seemingly had not a hair out of place as she hugged and greeted loved ones.
Jen’s rep confirmed to People Dec. 10that the Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) had approved her early release over two years after the reality star reported to serve her time in February 2023.
“Everyone’s very grateful for the BOP’s decision, especially because it means Jen will be able to reunite with her family for the holidays,” Shah’s manager, Chris Giovanni, said in a separate statement Nov. 21.“It’s a gift she doesn’t take for granted.”

Jeff Carlisle covers MLS and the U.S. national team for ESPN FC.
The holiday season sees players on the U.S. men’s national team in wildly different parts of their respective campaigns. The halfway mark of the European club season has just about arrived. Some competitions — like the Premier League — power through the festive period, while others are about to take a short break. Meanwhile, Major League Soccer has gone into hibernation, with Liga MX about to conclude its Apertura campaign.
There is no rest, however, for the players, especially with a certain AC Milan attacker showing not even the flu can slow him down.
Throughout the season, ESPN will be monitoring the progress of the player pool, delivering insights into those whose form or fitness has made them particularly intriguing. We call it the USMNT’s countdown to the 2026 World Cup.
ESPN will count down to June 11 every week. When the U.S. team is announced for this highly anticipated World Cup on home soil, no names on that 26-man roster will come as a surprise. Only 183 days to go.
The past few months have been a bit stop-start for Pulisic. There was the hamstring injury in October that saw him miss about a month, as well as another muscle injury that forced him to miss the 1-0 win against Lazio on Nov. 29. Then there was his recent illness, which Pulisic said left him feeling “dead” just a day before Monday’s match with Torino.
Pulisic went on to deliver his own version of the “Flu Game,” albeit one without as much at stake as the Michael Jordan-inspired version. And he was immense, entering Tuesday’s match in the 66th minute and scoring less than a minute later. He then tallied the game winner 10 minutes later to lead Milan to a 3-2 win and move back atop the Serie A standings, and Pulisic’s seven goals in 2025-26 are tied with Inter Milan‘s Lautaro Martínez for the most in Serie A.
The impulse to protect Pulisic in bubble wrap between now and June is strong, but so long as he maintains his current health and form, USMNT fans will be content with him tearing it up for Milan. And as much as U.S. manager Mauricio Pochettino abhors the whole starter/reserve characterization, Pulisic’s current level makes him one of the few surefire starters in the USMNT lineup.
For most players, progress is usually of the sawtooth variety: a few ticks up, followed by a step down. So it has gone for Banks. The 19-year-old suffered through a difficult outing in Augsburg’s 3-0 defeat to TSG Hoffenheim on Nov. 28, but enjoyed a bounce-back performance the following week in a surprising 2-0 victory over Bayer Leverkusen. Through it all, it’s fair to say Banks has become a mainstay in the Augsburg lineup, having started the club’s past nine league matches.
How does all of this factor into the USMNT picture?
Banks is certainly helping his cause, and while the Bundesliga‘s winter break is slated to begin on Dec. 21 and last until around Jan. 9, he’ll have plenty of opportunities to impress prior to the next international window in March. Banks will have some players to climb over, even with Celtic‘s Cameron Carter-Vickers sidelined with an Achilles injury, but Pochettino is known to be an admirer, meaning Banks’ window of opportunity remains slightly open.
Some good news has finally made its way to Sargent. The Norwich City striker scored on a fantastic diving header against Watford. Although the Canaries ended up losing, 3-2, it was Sargent’s first goal since an Aug. 30 brace against Blackburn Rovers. This comes on top of Sargent notching an assist in the previous week’s 3-1 win over Queens Park Rangers, breaking a 13-match winless streak.
To be clear, Sargent’s dry spell means he remains in the basement when it comes to the USMNT depth chart. The likes of AS Monaco‘s Folarin Balogun, PSV Eindhoven‘s Ricardo Pepi, Coventry City‘s Haji Wright, and Derby County‘s Patrick Agyemang are all positioned above Sargent at the moment (more on that in a moment). But the Norwich forward needed to start somewhere, and last weekend’s goal is as good a place as any.
The in-form XI
History was made in the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday. After squandering some opportunities, Balogun scored the only goal of the match in his side’s 1-0 win over Galatasaray. The tally marked the third consecutive game that Balogun had scored in the Champions League, a first for an American. He now has 10 goals on the season for club and country.
Balogun wasn’t the only American to find the net either. Pepi also scored, albeit in a losing effort as PSV fell to Atlético Madrid, 3-1. While the competition for spots on the USMNT remains fierce, Balogun continues to keep his competitors at arm’s length, and his work rate and mobility — in addition to his finishing — should help him stay there.
When it comes to Juventus midfielder Weston McKennie, you can count his club manager, Luciano Spalletti, among the converted.
“It’s a strong person who makes a strong footballer. McKennie has this attitude, this way of meeting you halfway, like he’s saying: ‘You ask, I’ll do,'” Spalletti said prior to last weekend’s match against Napoli. “He starts and becomes effective; you can tell he faced his fears when he was young because to become brave, you have to face what scares you. He tries plays that wouldn’t normally be a part of his repertoire, but he still tries them.”
Spalletti is the fifth permanent manager McKennie has had since he arrived in Turin in 2020, and it seems like the U.S. midfielder has rarely been given the benefit of the doubt. Some of that was down to McKennie’s inability to maintain the requisite fitness, but this campaign has seen him conquer those concerns. He remains Juventus’ Swiss Army knife, and even popped up for the opening goal in Juve’s 2-0 win over Pafos in the Champions League.
The question remains: Where does McKennie fit into the national team? He’s logged plenty of minutes at wing back for Juve this season, but that position is relatively well stocked for the U.S., with Sergiño Dest, Tim Weah, Alex Freeman and Max Arfsten all vying for minutes. That leaves either the central midfield role alongside Tyler Adams, or does he occupy one of the more attacking midfielder spots in tandem with Pulisic?
For now, the attacking midfield spot seems a good fit for McKennie. While he is definitely a two-way player, his skill set tilts more on the attacking side of things, and he showed well alongside Malik Tillman in the 1-1 draw against Ecuador last October. But the competition for that spot is stiff. In addition to Tillman, there is Borussia Mönchengladbach‘s Gio Reyna, América‘s Alejandro Zendejas and Real Salt Lake‘s Diego Luna all competing for time.
Much will depend on how aggressive Pochettino wants to be in a particular match going forward. If he wants more creativity on the field, he could slide McKennie back into midfield. If he opts for a more defensive stance, Tanner Tessmann could be the man to partner Adams with McKennie further forward.
There are scenarios where McKennie could be the man to come off the bench. Given his willingness to sacrifice for the team, the possibilities are endless. What’s known is that McKennie’s performances at club level have him firmly in the World Cup roster mix.
Entrenching generative AI into Adobe’s creative software ecosystem is paying off, according to the company’s latest earnings. While its share price has fallen by more than 37 percent this year at the time of writing, Adobe is reporting a bump in annual profits driven by record revenue of $23.77 billion for 2025 — an 11 percent increase year-over-year that it’s largely attributing to AI.
“Adobe’s record FY2025 results reflect our growing importance in the global AI ecosystem and the rapid adoption of our AI-driven tools,” said Adobe CEO Shantanu Narayen in the press release. The company is now targeting to increase annual recurring revenue (ARR) by 10.2 percent in 2026 by “advancing our innovative generative and agentic platforms and expanding our customer base,” according to Narayen.
Adobe has gone all-in on AI over the last two years, launching its own family of Firefly generative AI models for image, video, and audio applied across its creative apps and marketing solutions. AI-influenced ARR now makes up more than one-third of Adobe’s overall business, according to its earnings report.
According to Narayen, one of Adobe’s top accomplishments this year was “establishing ourselves within leading AI ecosystems with partnerships and integrations across AWS, Azure, Google Gemini, HUMAIN, Microsoft Copilot, OpenAI, and others.” In other words, if Adobe can’t compete with AI rivals head-on, it’s betting on third-party integrations to help it survive generative AI’s relentless conquest of the creative industry.
Bunnie Xo and Jelly Roll‘s love story began in Las Vegas.
Asshe recalled on Bussin’ With The Boys, she metthe singer in August 2015 when he performed at the Las Vegas Country Saloon. This was before Jelly Roll was famous. At the time, he was living in a van, and he estimated about 20 people were at the show.
Instead, their spark took center stage.
“When I met him, I tell everybody it’s the most f–king cliché s–t, but literally my soul was like, ‘There you are,'” Bunnie said on the podcast in 2023. “And he’s not my type. I’m not his type. He loves Taylor Swift. That’s his type.”
Still, a romance didn’t form right away. Bunnie was in an unhealthy relationship, she continued, and Jelly Roll was doing his own thing. But in October 2015, they reconnected. And as Bunnie put it, she was “just smitten.”
After her ex went to prison, she added, she told a friend to give Jelly Roll her phone number. Bunnie said the musician would call and text her for advice on his daughter Bailee from a previous relationship.
However, Bunnie noted her bond with Jelly Roll shifted from platonic to romantic in July 2016 when he returned to Vegas to film some videos and they slept together.
“We’re like s–t-faced drunk,” she remembered. “I’m trying to get it up, get it in, get it on and get it out, and this guy was like, ‘What’s your five-year plan?'”
So, they discussed their goals, and Bunnie recalled Jelly Roll saying, “OK, cool. Let’s do it.”

The Minnesota Vikings and Dallas Cowboys meet up for “Sunday Night Football,” with the Cowboys desperately trying to keep their playoff hopes alive.
Matt Bowen, Joe Fortenbaugh, Pamela Maldonado, Eric Moody, Ben Solak and Seth Walder looked at the early Week 15 odds and identified which ones are worth jumping on now before potential shifts later in the week.
Note: Odds by DraftKings Sportsbook and subject to change.
Moody: The Patriots are slight underdogs at home, which is surprising to me. New England has won five consecutive games in Foxborough and beat the Bills earlier this season. The Patriots have been a juggernaut offensively, ranking eighth in total yards and seventh in points per game. Their defense has performed similarly, ranking in the top 10 in both total yards allowed and points allowed. The Bills are 5-15 straight up in their past 20 road games against the Patriots.
Solak: The Bills had a strong offensive day against the Cincinnati Bengals, but we’re far too quickly forgetting that it took a 67-yard pick-six for the Bills to regain control of this game, and then another pick-six for them to build a truly unrecoverable lead. I expect public money to be all over the Patriots this week, and enough sharps should be there that this closes with the Patriots actually favored.
Bowen: I’ll take the six points with the Lions in this one. Look for Jared Goff to target the deep in-breakers versus Rams split-safety coverages. Catch-and-run throws. Detroit creates enough explosive plays to cover Sunday in L.A.
Last week: Bears +6 at Packers (Packers won 28-21)
Lions at Rams total points OVER 55 (-108)
Maldonado: This looks aggressive, but the matchup calls for it. The Rams are a scoring machine, and their pace forces opponents to keep up. The Lions are functional enough offensively to land where they need, even on the road. Matthew Stafford creates explosive plays, Jared Goff plays catch-up and the game naturally tilts into a high-scoring script. Once the line becomes available, the Rams’ team total over is worth consideration.
Fortenbaugh: The lookahead line here was Jacksonville -9.5, so this is a pretty big adjustment based on Week 14’s results … which featured the Jaguars smoking the Indianapolis Colts and the Jets getting thrashed by the Miami Dolphins. This Jaguars team is good, but they haven’t laid more than six points in a game all season and haven’t laid 11 or more points in a game since December 23, 2007, when closing -14 at home against the then-Oakland Raiders. This is strictly a numbers play for me, as I’m old enough to remember Jacksonville losing 35-7 at home against the Los Angeles Rams back in late October.
Solak: The Broncos are still struggling to run the football in J.K. Dobbins‘ absence, and the defense has shown a few cracks over recent weeks as opposing offenses become more specific with who they target in man coverage. The Packers are closer to full strength at wide receiver with Jayden Reed back in the fold, and the defense shreds against opposing offenses that can’t run the rock. Good matchup for Green Bay here.
Last week: Seahawks -7.5 at Falcons (Seahawks won 37-9), Colts-Jaguars under 48.5 (Jaguars won 36-19)
Walder: Forgive me for not buying into J.J. McCarthy just yet after one good game against the worst passing defense in the league in terms of EPA per play. And similarly, I’m not throwing in the towel on the Cowboys’ ability just because they lost by 14 to the Lions. Dak Prescott is the league leader in QBR this season and ought to receive MVP consideration, and DT Quinnen Williams looks like his old self now that he’s in Dallas. He has recorded a 15% pass rush win rate at defensive tackle as a Cowboy, which would rank third at the position for the season if he had kept that pace over the whole year. I like Dallas to clear this spread and then some.
This is an excerpt of Sources by Alex Heath, a newsletter about AI and the tech industry, syndicated just for The Verge subscribers once a week.
Reinforcement learning (RL) is the next frontier, Google is surging, and the party scene has gotten completely out of hand. Those were the through lines from this year’s NeurIPS in San Diego.
NeurIPS, or the “Conference on Neural Information Processing Systems,” started in 1987 as a purely academic affair. It has since ballooned alongside the hype around AI into a massive industry event where labs come to recruit and investors come to find the next wave of AI startups.
I was regretfully unable to attend NeurIPS this year, but I still wanted to know what people were talking about on the ground in San Diego over the past week. So I asked engineers, researchers, and founders for their takeaways. The list below of responses includes Andy Konwinski, cofounder of Databricks and founder of the Laude Institute; Thomas Wolf, cofounder of Hugging Face; OpenAI’s Roon; and attendees from Meta, Waymo, Google DeepMind, Amazon, and a handful of other places.
I asked everyone the same three questions: What’s the buzziest topic from the conference? Which labs feel like they’re surging or struggling? Who had the best party?
The consensus was clear. “RL RL RL RL is taking over the world,” Anastasios Angelopoulos, CEO of LMArena, told me. The industry is coalescing around the idea that tuning models for specific use cases, rather than scaling the data used for pre-training, will drive the next wave of AI progress. What’s clear from the lab momentum question is that Google is having a moment. “Google DeepMind is feeling good,” Hugging Face’s Wolf told me.
The party circuit was naturally relentless. Konwinski’s Laude Lounge emerged as one of the week’s hotspots — Jeff Dean, Yoshua Bengio, Ion Stoica, and about a dozen other top researchers came through. Model Ship, an invite-only cruise with 200 researchers, featured “a commitment to the dance floor that is unprecedented at a conference event,” one of the organizers of the cruise, Nathan Lambert, told me. Roon was dry about the whole scene: “you can learn more from twitter than from literally being there … mostly my on-the-ground feeling was ‘this is too much.’”
Here’s what attendees had to say about NeurIPS this year:
What was the buzziest topic among attendees that you think more people will be talking about in 2026?
Which labs feel like they’re surging in momentum, and which ones feel more shaky?
What was the best party you attended or had FOMO over?
Yes, some people thought keynotes were parties. I guess academia lives on at NeurIPS after all.
Lions at Rams total points OVER 55 (-108)
