A Cute New Robot Named Gita Carries Around Your Stuff

One of the worst parts of lugging stuff place to place has always been dealing with unwieldy luggage. Whether you’re headed down the street or traveling across town, dealing with huge and/or heavy bags always adds a little more of a hassle to the experience. It looks like an adorable robot named Gita might take a little bit of the load off your shoulders, however, as this motorized cargo-carrying robot follows you to your destination. Gita is a new product developed by Piaggio, the same company that produces Vespa scooters.
Gita is a light blue, orb-shaped robot that has the same “braking, balancing and vehicle dynamics that you would expect of a high-performance motorcycle” according to Piaggio, and has a top speed of 22 mph. Gita can follow you to where you’re headed or even navigate environments on its own, according to the company.
In a statement to TechCrunch, Piaggio’s robotics division said that Gita is going to be more about augmenting work that requires a lot of equipment, such as gardening, rather than other aspects of cargo carrying like making deliveries. This may mean that Piaggio’s plans for Gita aren’t as widespread as having the cute little robot help the average joe with groceries. Still, while the situation isn’t nearly as futuristic as a city full of busy people with robots in tow, the idea of a smart little robot to carry around the tools of your trade is still exciting and speaks of a future where robot helpers will be increasingly present.

If Not Already Clear, Elder Scrolls 6 Will Skip PlayStation

Despite Microsoft’s acquisition of Bethesda, The Elder Scrolls 6 was not confirmed as an Xbox exclusive a few months ago. This happened because Xbox executive Phil Spencer indicated that target platforms hadn’t been selected yet, but it always felt like he was talking about the game being years away rather than the RPG being on PlayStation.
If you’re still holding out, Microsoft plans to release The Elder Scrolls 6 just on Xbox and PC. Documents from the company’s FTC lawsuit were recently released. In the document, Bethesda’s announced titles (both as a publisher and developer) are listed, and The Elder Scrolls 6 is listed for Xbox, PC, and nothing else.
We expected this, but The Elder Scrolls 6 was announced before Microsoft acquired its developer. The Elder Scrolls is a beloved franchise that’s been on various platforms for generations, so this isn’t Starfield.
However, the game isn’t due until 2026 at the earliest, according to the paper, and who knows what the gaming landscape will be like then.

Xbox Nearly Flashed Warner Bros Cash, Sees Nintendo as Holy Grail

Xbox CEO Phil Spencer’s mid-2020 dystopian email suggests the business was interested in buying Warner Bros Interactive and Bethesda. Even more alarming, the CEO calls buying Nintendo a “career moment” and “good for both companies” — and there are even rumors that Microsoft was interested in Valve.
While Spencer warns that acquiring Nintendo would be “hostile action” but “playing the long game”, the unprecedented corporate convergence is shockingly casual. He added: “Nintendo is taking a long time to realize their future is off their hardware. A long time… He even ended the chat with a smiling emoji to make it look more evil.
Spencer claims that Warner Bros Interactive was “gettable” when Microsoft was rumored to acquire it. He adds that “we wouldn’t own any of the IP which hurts long-term flexibility”. Because most Warner Bros Interactive developers work on franchises like Batman, Harry Potter, and others, the studios are worth little without the brands.
The email is over three years old, but it reveals Microsoft’s blasé approach to acquisitions and its goals. While its eventual acquisition of Activision Blizzard may have changed its plans, this leaked exchange suggests that Microsoft will not stop until it has absorbed as much of the industry as possible, even targeting Nintendo.

Stig Asmussen Leaving Respawn for Galaxies Unknown

Jedi: Fallen Order and Jedi: Survivor director Stig Asmussen is leaving Respawn Entertainment for unknown reasons. Asmussen had planned a trilogy for Cal Kestis, but it appears another author will need to write it.
Bloomberg reports that an EA spokesperson said: “Stig Asmussen has left Respawn to pursue other adventures, and we wish him the best. Veteran Respawn leaders will lead Star Wars Jedi: Survivor.”
This move is surprising, but Asmussen leaves on a high note. Jedi: Survivor is a great game despite its performance issues, which is rare for a Star Wars game. We’ll see where Asmussen goes, but we’re excited.
