Companies are often caught between wanting to cut emissions but also grow profits. But for airlines, these two different imperatives actually align. Cutting carbon emissions means burning less fuel and spending less money buying fuel. This is why Lufthansa has been copying a trick from the animal kingdom: applying a special film that mimics sharkskin to parts of its aircraft.
When it comes to decarbonization, reducing the emissions of air travel is both a high priority and something of a difficult task. Globally, air traffic accounts for about 2.5 percent of carbon emissions, but since those emissions are emitted at altitude, studies have found that the warming effect may be almost twice as large.
The problem is that it's extremely difficult to rival the volumetric energy density of jet fuel, which contains almost 50 times as many megajoules per liter than alternatives like hydrogen, ethanol, or lithium-ion batteries. That's less of a problem for ground or sea transportation, where weight and volume is less important, but it's a real stumbling block for switching jet airliners to a different fuel source.

HBO has released the first footage of the second season of The Last of Us, and it implies that things for Pedro Pascal’s Joel may be a little bit different than they are in the game. No, not that different, but it seems like he might be going to therapy.

Billy Dee Williams’ Lando Calrissian is one of the coolest characters in Star Wars and now, finally, this cape-wearing, smooth-talking scoundrel will soon be available in Fortnite along with a lot of other Star Wars-related content, too.
We brought you our annual Nacon Connect broadcast last night, and you know what that means – new game announcements, trailers for our upcoming games, a little ’80s nostalgia, and of course, something related to Test Drive Unlimited.
Personally, I think we ticked all those boxes, but I’ll leave that up to you to decide. So, grab your Nacon Connect bingo cards and let’s dive into some of last night’s announcements. Also, some of our best games from last year are on sale, with savings on last year’s breakout hit Robocop: Rogue City, Gangs of Sherwood, and more. So, head to the end of the article for a full list!
Terminator: Survivors
In Terminator: Survivors – which we showed off for the first time – you play a survivor in an open world set after Judgment Day where, alone or in co-op, you scavenge resources to build a base of operations for mankind. But you’re not alone. Skynet’s machines will hunt you relentlessly and rival human factions will fight for the same resources you desperately need.
Defy the machines and build the resistance in Terminator: Survivors, coming to Xbox Series X|S.
Dragonkin
The four kingdoms have been pushed to the brink, small enclaves desperately fighting for survival. But the winds of change have started to blow, and those who have done the unthinkable – to partake of a Dragon’s blood – have been given the power to change the world. These mutants have teamed up with some of humanity’s strongest heroes, forming an unlikely alliance as they take on the draconic forces.
We announced Dragonkin last night during the Nacon Connect. This top-down ARPG lets you select between 4 character classes, each with their own abilities and skills. It’s a flashy hack ’n’ slash playable solo or in co-op with up to 4 players.
Claim back your world from the dragons when Dragonkin comes to Xbox Series X|S in 2025.
Endurance Mostorsport Series
When it comes to the ultimate challenge in track racing, there’s nothing more challenging than endurance racing. Marathon multi-class races that involve multiple drivers put extreme strain on vehicles, where everything and anything can happen. Success is a perfect collaboration between drivers, mechanics and engineers.
We wanted to showcase that duality in Endurance Motorsport Series, where you’ll manage both driving and supporting from the pits. Drive licensed cars from major manufacturers, whether Hypercar, LMP2 or GT on famous circuits from across the world in Endurance Motorsport Series, coming to Xbox Series X|S.
GreedFall 2
The next instalment of GreedFall is open to everyone, regardless of whether you’re a newcomer or an expert.
Set 3 years before the events of GreedFall, you are forcibly taken to the continent of Gacane, abducted from the island waters you called home. In these strange lands, factions vie for control across a continent ravaged by war and scarred by the Malichor Plague. Regain your freedom, recruit allies, and – whether via diplomacy, cunning, or combat – put an end to one man’s ambition for conquest, protecting your home in the process.
GreedFall 2 is coming to Xbox Series X|S in 2025.
Welcome to Paradize
Turn off your CRT, grab some supplies, assemble your buddies, and set off for Paradize! Buddies didn’t survive the outbreak? Don’t worry! With the patented Zombot technology, you’ll have a veritable army of new workers friends to help you build your base, craft gear, and fight off the zombie hordes hungering for your delicious human flesh.
This quirky twin-stick, hack and slash, crafting/survival action-RPG, is out now, playable solo or with up to 4 friends in co-op. Hop into Welcome to Paradize, available on Xbox Series X|S.
Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown
When you hear the words ‘Hong Kong’, what comes to mind? No doubt a city of sprawling skyscrapers, neon lights, food or maybe the people. Let’s get away from all that for just a minute, as the latest trailer for Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown takes us off-road, exploring mountain peaks, lakes, fishing villages and beaches that run alongside the South China Sea.
It’s this variety that is part of the reason that we chose Hong Kong Island as the location for the return of Test Drive Unlimited, and we’re excited to see players explore over 600km of roads (and off-roads) when Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown comes to Xbox Series X|S.
In other news from the Nacon Connect, there was a new gameplay trailer for Crown Wars: The Black Prince (arriving on March 7), a new gameplay trailer for upcoming twisted fairy tale roguelike Ravenswatch and the return of the Tour De France series for a new season later this year.
And if that’s not enough Nacon, we’ve got a few games on sale, including Robocop: Rogue City – Alex Murphy Edition at 30% off, 50% off psychological WW1 horror game Ad Infinitum, and more!
