ElGamerWICHO reported that Gears of War: E-Day had released "Spooky Season," a limited-time Halloween and Day of the Dead update with modes, missions, rewards, and store packs. He detailed that the Trick-or-Treat mode was a variant of Crucible where players had to control the Jack-o-Cannon to score points and reach the 200 needed to win. The match consisted of a round of up to 25 minutes. The weapon reloaded faster and had a greater range than the Crucible core, he added. He also noted that pumpkins replaced the power weapons on the map and could contain special weapons or traps. ElGamerWICHO indicated that the temporary mission "Battling the Boogeyman" faced players against the Boogeyman, or Coco, and his minions with glowing pumpkin heads. He added that a shared capture showed the mission on Allfather difficulty. Regarding the rewards, he said they were obtained by participating in the temporary modes and missions, although the images did not specify the challenges or requirements to unlock them. He also described two legendary packs: "The Hero's End," for 2,000 iron, featuring a charred and incandescent soldier that Vraahk scorches with imulsion during the campaign, and "Day of the Dead," for 1,600 iron, featuring Lucas characterized with a skull face, hat, candles, and marigold flowers. According to the author, each pack included 17 items; the second contained weapon designs with skeleton, skull, and flower motifs. He specified that the prices were expressed in iron, the premium currency of the game, and corresponded to the amounts paid for both packs. ElGamerWICHO clarified that Coco and the Boogeyman were the same character and that the shared information did not detail how to unlock his appearance or when the event ended. He added that the update was already available and that he would soon publish more content about it. #Halloween #DiaDeMuertos #GearsOfWar (translated)

PlayStation News reported that Cyberleek published three statements titled "The End of the Road" in which it ruled out spreading the full version of GTA 6. According to Cyberleek, the cryptocurrency associated with the project did not reach a market capitalization of 30 million dollars, so it would not publish the more than 200 GB it claimed to have. It added that anonymously disclosing such a volume of information posed a risk that it was only willing to take if it reached that economic goal. Cyberleek stated that it had the game's ending and had considered releasing it to harm Take Two, but decided against it to avoid ruining the experience for millions of players. As proof, it said that its most recent leaks included fragments of final missions, presented out of context to avoid major spoilers. It also claimed to have activated a system called Dead Man’s Switch, which, it indicated, would automatically publish story spoilers if anyone acted against it. In response to the scam accusations related to the cryptocurrency, Cyberleek maintained that it had only sold tokens on two occasions to cover fees and that it had always presented them as donations, not as investments. It also accused several YouTubers and influencers of spreading false information about the project and blaming it for the cryptocurrency's decline. Cyberleek said that it had fulfilled its promises and that the leaks would end for the time being, although it left open the possibility of returning. #GTA6 #Cyberleek #filtraciones (translated)

PlayStation News summarized a Bloomberg report on the challenges of developing GTA 6 and noted that Rockstar Games began planning it in 2015, under the name Project Americas. According to their publication, the project initially considered large regions of North America and South America but later scaled it down. The development of Red Dead Redemption 2 took priority for several years before Rockstar concentrated its resources on a single game. The company's workforce increased from 2,441 employees in 2018 to 4,711 in August 2026, spread across 12 offices. The publication indicated that Rob Nelson, Aaron Garbut, and Phil Hooker shared the main creative and development responsibilities, and that the story by Jason Duval and Lucía Caminos began to take shape in late 2019. It described the early years as particularly difficult due to the lack of a clear vision and stated that by 2022, sufficient systems had been integrated for the team to better understand the complete game. It also noted that GTA 6 would leverage advancements from Red Dead Redemption 2 and that Rockstar had discussed how to balance realism and fun, even in everyday activities. PlayStation News wrote that Jason and Lucía could share activities outside of missions and that players could send messages to Lucía to meet with her. According to their summary, during a test, Phil Hooker spent about two hours exploring the world without starting the intended mission; a traffic accident led to fights, thefts, and police chases. The publication attributed the delays to the complexity of the project, system integration, and the time needed to achieve the desired quality. It added that Strauss Zelnick was surprised by the second delay but supported the decision, and that the pandemic affected, among other things, motion capture and acting sessions. The publication also noted that some veteran developers left Rockstar due to frustration with the slow progress and that the leaks from September 2022 were an invasive and emotionally difficult experience for the team. According to their summary, in 2024 the company imposed five days a week of in-person work and restricted remote access to development tools for security reasons. Rockstar reportedly improved planning, hired more staff, and established compensations or breaks for overtime to reduce crunch, although it had not completely disappeared. Management also reportedly said it would recognize a union if workers decided to organize. PlayStation News indicated that the new GTA Online experience was scheduled for 2027, although it still did not have an official date. It added that during Schreier’s visit to Rockstar North, the team was focused on fixing bugs, and internal indicators showed that they were resolving more issues than remained pending. #GTA6 #RockstarGames #Videojuegos (translated)

Nacho Montes de Oca argued that the limit imposed by Elon Musk on Starlink favored Putin and added to Donald Trump's cuts to the early warning system for Russian missiles. He stated that Ukraine had started to successfully use Starlink-guided interceptors to shoot down in-flight new Russian drones powered by reactors, which he described as faster than conventional Shahed drones. According to his writings, the limit of 160 km/h hindered the telemetry and control needed for these pursuits. Citing the Financial Times, Montes de Oca noted that mid-range interceptors needed to reach high speeds almost immediately to take off and stabilize. He added that signal loss when exceeding the limit could cause them to crash or lead to mission cancellations before takeoff. In his view, this increased vulnerability to ballistic attacks and high-speed drones, resulting in civilian casualties and damage to infrastructure. #Ucrania #Drones #SeguridadNacional (translated)

Nacho Montes de Oca claimed that Elon Musk had used Starlink for political purposes to pressure the Ukrainian government and that it was not the first time he, according to him, had aided Vladimir Putin or followed Donald Trump's orders at a critical moment. He stated that the decision could commercially harm SpaceX by exposing it to geopolitical risks similar to those that, in his opinion, contributed to the international ban on Huawei. Montes de Oca wrote that the intermittent use of critical technological infrastructure as a tool of political or military pressure could lead Western governments to accelerate the development of sovereign networks. He also pointed out that the interruption would have forced the cancellation or failure of several Ukrainian drone missions, reduced the commercial appeal of Starlink for defense customers, and put contracts with the Pentagon and the trust of European partners at risk. Among them, he mentioned Poland, which, he indicated, financed about 50 million dollars annually in terminals for Ukraine. The author estimated the global market for military communications and satellites in 2026 to be 22.03 billion dollars, if only encrypted tactical communication services were counted. He warned that defense buyers could consider their reliance on a private provider financially risky. In his background review, Montes de Oca stated that in September 2002 Ukraine requested to activate Starlink in the region of Sevastopol, in occupied Crimea, to guide maritime drones against the Russian Black Sea fleet, but Musk rejected the request. He added that on September 30 of that year, SpaceX interrupted the signal for several hours—and, in some areas, days—in the regions of Kherson and Donetsk during a Ukrainian counteroffensive, which, he wrote, left drones disconnected and temporarily halted military operations. Montes de Oca also said that the following month Musk threatened to stop providing the service because he could not finance it indefinitely and reversed the decision days later, before the Pentagon formally took over the contracts and Poland covered part of the costs. Additionally, he noted that in February 2023, SpaceX President Gwynne Shotwell confirmed that the company had technically limited the use of Starlink in Ukrainian attack drones and asserted that those restrictions had been tightened. Finally, he stated that Airbus was leading the European response and that, with 5.3 billion euros from the European military space program, it was designing and building low-orbit platforms for national and sovereign satellite networks. #ElonMusk #Starlink #Ucrania (translated)

Nacho Montes de Oca stated that Elon Musk had limited the speed of Starlink terminals in motion without prior notice, which he wrote affected the military service StarShield and Ukrainian drone forces. He argued that the terminals lost connection when exceeding 160 km/h and that later reports indicated a threshold of 100 km/h. He also pointed out that sources from the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense had confirmed signal interruptions. Montes de Oca claimed that the measure could facilitate a Russian offensive and harm both Ukrainian attacks against Russian logistics and the logistical coordination and advance of Ukrainian units. He described it as help to Putin and stated that it came at the worst time for the performance of the Russian army. The author cited Ukrainian presidential advisor Serhii Beskrestnov, who confirmed that "several missions were interrupted" due to the lack of guarantees. He also noted that former Defense Ministry advisor Serhii Sternenko had suggested that the measure was in response to a request from the Donald Trump administration. Montes de Oca linked that possibility to pressures from Washington for Kiev to stop attacks on Russian refineries and to a message from Musk in which, according to the author, he said he would join the White House plan. #Starlink #Ucrania #Putin (translated)

Abelardo De La Espriella said that he had taken measures in response to two crises that he attributed to the previous government: the energy crisis and the FOMAG crisis. He pointed out that he created specialized working teams with defined responsibilities, tasks, and deadlines. Regarding energy, he affirmed that he was executing an emergency plan with measures before December 31 to avoid a blackout, which included promoting savings, ensuring the availability of fuels and gas, dispatching thermal plants, and maximizing existing capacity. Concerning FOMAG, he stated that he had ordered it to be cleaned up, to audit its resources, to determine the actual extent of the problem, and to ensure the protection of Colombian teachers’ care. De La Espriella maintained that his government would not hide or gloss over the crises and closed the message with the phrases "Firm for the Homeland" and "Long live Christ the King." #Colombia #CrisisEconómica #Energía (translated)

Agustín Antonetti stated that, according to information published that day by The New York Times, the United States had moved MQ-9 Reaper drones to Latin America, especially to Colombia and Ecuador. He described them as attack drones that the U.S. military used to employ in hunting operations and cited among previous cases the elimination of Soleimani in Iran and Ayman al-Zawahiri, whom he identified as Bin Laden's successor. Antonetti argued that the deployment indicated that one or more high-profile figures could soon be pursued on the continent. #Drones #EstadosUnidos #Seguridad (translated)
