Led by writer and designer Ewen Watson, it is a short hand-drawn point-and-click adventure for PC, with original cast members including Hugo Myatt as Treguard returning to voice their roles. It is due in 2027, the show's 40th anniversary.

A study by Convovo, led by Cornell professor Tapan Parikh, made OpenAI's GPT-6.1 Sol and Grok 4.7 name one candidate in nearly 500 upcoming midterm races. GPT picked the Democrat 97% of the time and Grok picked the Republican 92% of the time, and the two agreed in fewer than 10% of races. With web search turned off, GPT still leaned Democratic while Grok mostly declined to answer, suggesting Grok's lean comes from the sources it searches. OpenAI said the test doesn't reflect how people actually use ChatGPT.
