Leaker teases holiday Apple ‘surprise’ is on the way
A serial Apple leaker has warned Apple has a “Christmas surprise” on the way, but it is unclear if the puzzling tease relates to a physical product, a sale or promotion, or something else.
Posted to Twitter on Saturday, leaker “@L0vetodream” told followers “You’ll get a Christmas surprise from Apple.” The tweet didn’t state what it was, but offered clues by claiming it is “Winter exclusive” and “good for winter.”
While the leaker often provides accurate leaks for unreleased Apple products, they are typically easier to understand and work out than in the latest cryptic tweet. A follow-up post highlighted that they didn’t mention what the “Christmas gift” was nor the date of its release, and that it was “a game, a riddle game” for their followers.
You’ll get a Christmas surprise from ApplePSWinter exclusivegood for winter
Considering it would be unwise for Apple to launch hardware products over the holiday shopping period, and that it has just completed three months of product launch events, it seems extremely unlikely for something like “AirTags” or “AirPods Studio” to launch and go on sale during that time.
Since that basically rules out the majority of physical items, that leaves Apple with providing something software or data-based to consumers.
This would present a big opportunity for Apple to promote its Services business to consumers, by offering something from it for free. Possible candidates include special content on Apple TV+ that’s free to view, or free content from the App Store, both of which could easily cover the “Winter exclusive” hint.
There’s also an outside chance Apple could relaunch its “12 Days of Gifts” promotion, an annual tradition that ceased in 2014.
Lastly, the mention of a “Christmas surprise” could be a reference to Apple’s 2019 holiday ad campaign, one called “The Surprise.”
With the weekend now finally upon us, though, it’s time to discuss our weekend gaming plans. Members of Nintendo Life have done just that below, and we’d love for you to join in via our comment section below. Enjoy!

Happy weekend, Nintendo Lifers. I’m pecking away at Chicken Police (review imminent) and Serious Sam Collection (AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!), but most of my Nintendo time this week has been taken up by my eBaying reams and reams of old Game Boy and Game Boy Color games in order to revisit my childhood.
I bought myself a modded Game Boy Color and have had a whale of a time going back to all the stuff I used to play after school – you know, stuff like Gremlins 2 and Bart Simpson’s Escape From Camp Deadly. It ain’t great but it was yours, damnit. I wish Nintendo would hurry up and either put Game Boy on the Switch Online service, or get on with a Game Boy Classic Mini. Show that grey brick some love.
Also some Switch action with the world’s wildest police chases in Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit Remastered and the hardcore mecha action of Hardcore Mecha. My game of the week is the latest way to purchase and play Super Mario Bros., coinciding with my entry into this next generation of consoles since I will be playing it on my brand new Game & Watch. Fits snugly in my pocket too!

At a time when others are enjoying their shiny new Xbox and PlayStation consoles, I’ve gone back in time to play 2008’s Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia on the good old Nintendo DS.
I played the original game back when it released, but I’d never picked up the sequels and my partner surprised me with a copy of this one for my birthday last month (thank goodness for the used games market, huh?). If we’re being honest, I’m obviously playing through it just to experience it rather than to be blown away by it, but I must say it’s been really nice to play on a DS again after all this time.
It’s also making me crave a new playthrough of Pokémon HeartGold and Soulsilver, though, and for the sake of keeping up with current games, I simply can’t afford to let that happen!
As always, thanks for reading! Make sure to leave us a comment below with your gaming choices over the next few days…
"No Threat" After Hostage Situation Reported At Ubisoft Montreal Headquarters
A frightening situation at Ubisoft Montreal headquarters on Friday afternoon appears to have been resolved without any injuries. Police were called in for what it described as a hostage situation in Saint-Laurent, prompting "a large number of resources" to be deployed to the area. According to a press release issued on the Service de police de la Ville de Montréal website, it was ultimately determined there was no threat, seemingly confirming media reports during the incident that suggested police had been called as the result of a hoax.
Reports of a police operation emerged on Friday, with local news stations broadcasting footage of what appeared to be Ubisoft employees taking shelter on the roof of the company's offices. A tweet from the Montreal police said that it was responding to a 911 call and advised people to stay away from the area. It later said that no threat had been found and begun evacuating the building.
Ubisoft has employees working both from home and from the office. Eric Pope, community developer on Hyper Scape, said he was on a call with employees who had to "leave abruptly."

Stardew Valley’s “Very Big” 1.5 Update Is Almost Ready For Release
@ConcernedApe
The Stardew Valley 1.5 update has been in development all year now, so when is it going to be ready for release?
In a recent update over on Twitter, the game’s creator Eric ‘ConcernedApe’ Barone said it’s now in the “home stretch”. As you might have already worked out, it’s a “very big update” so it requires a lot more polishing and bug fixing, but when it does arrive it’ll include plenty of surprises.
Some tweets before this one revealed the long-requested split-screen co-op feature would finally be added to the game in this next update. It will support up to four players on some platforms, and two players on other systems.
Nintendo’s Super Mario Bros. Game & Watch has just been released and while it might be based on the company’s classic hardware, this new version contains a number of hidden secrets.
For your convenience, we’ve rounded them all up into a single post (thanks, Nintendo) – take a look below:
Finish Super Mario Bros. and you’ll unlock hard mode, with different enemies appearing.
In the original game, hard mode was only available until you turned off the Nintendo Entertainment System!
If you’re curious to learn more about Nintendo’s new Game & Watch, be sure to check out our full hardware review. Have you seen any of these secrets in person yet? Tell us in the comments below.

Demon's Souls: Best Souls Farming Spot For Early Game
The Demon's Souls remake is now available exclusively for PS5, and like the original and the Dark Souls series, the titular souls are of huge importance to your progression. You use these not only for currency but also to level up your character, and it can be difficult to collect enough to make a real difference if you don't know where to look. That's where we come in! We know the ideal spot to gather an easy 4,500 souls, which is enough to buy plenty of items, weapon improvements, or make several upgrades to your statistics.
How to easily farm souls
For this method, head to the Shrine of Storms from the Nexus and work your way through until you reach the Ritual Path Archstone. From there, proceed forward until you can drop down, then go through the tunnel you find and use arrows to shoot the Reaper. This will kill all the other enemies around it, giving you a healthy bounty of souls in very little time.
When doing this, you need to make sure you aren't surrounded by the apparitions in this area. They can close in and get on either side of you, and you must be precise with your Heavy Arrow shots to take down the Reaper quickly.
New update to Black Desert Mobile introduces the Grand Desert region
If you’re hankering for some more stuff to do in Black Desert Mobile, then it’s time to steel your blade, ready your bow, charge your magic, or feed your panthers. The next expansion to Black Desert Mobile is adding a new region called the Grand Desert.
Grand Desert is filled to the brim with mysterious temples and tons of treasure to discover. It’s also said that a Black Spirit lives there, but we’re not sure if Pearl Abyss means the stony goliath that’s featured quite heavily in the trailer. Still, at least the oasis towns look pretty!
Black Desert Mobile’s first anniversary event is also coming very soon. In an upcoming update, you’ll be able to participate in a special in-game event titled ‘Black Spirit Complete Guide’. This event will give players “special quests to level up quickly and unlock endgame content” according to the press release. If you’d rather do it yourself and not have everything spoon fed to you, you can check out our Black Desert Mobile guide to get started.
While these two features are the biggest, there are a few more things coming to Black Desert Mobile in the near future:
Crystal of Dimensions: A new attack and defence boost item. You can craft this at the alchemy workshop and is said to provide “players with a new form of character progression”.
Carriage Upgrade: Carriages now allow players to carry more goods.
Merchantry upgrade: A new SS rank for Merchantry will also be available. This makes it so that you get more resources in a single run.
Returning User-care System: A quest line has been created for returning players, which aims to get players who have lapsed up to the same levels as those who have played continuously, allowing them to access the new stuff sooner. These quests are apparently tied to silver rewards.
While there is no date for when the Grand Desert expansion update will drop, but the first anniversary update will begin appearing on December 8.
