Whatever it is—a game, a phone, a tablet, or a mysterious new product—if we've got the scoop on when it's going to make a public debut, we'll share it here. Bookmark this page so you'll know when you can get your hands on the latest products. Maybe you'll even discover something here you didn't know you absolutely had to have.

BloodborneBloodborne is a PlayStation 4 exclusive RPG game developed by From Software and director Hidetaka Miyazaki, who also directed Dark Souls. It's set in the ancient, abandoned, and cursed city of Yharnam that's rampant with a mysterious illness, turning its inhabitants into horrifying, murderous psychopaths and
monsters. You'll have to spill some blood to unlock Yharnam's secrets and stay alive.

Om/OneIt's tough to innovate on Bluetooth speaker design. You mostly get a rectangular box with a variety of designs and/or features, like waterproofing. The Om/One is a little different. It levitates. In the air. Levitation is where the evolution of speakers is heading, naturally. There aren't many benefits to have your speakers levitate, apart from perhaps eliminating the transmission of sound vibrations to the surface they would normally sit on. Otherwise, it just looks cool.

Thalmic Labs MYO ArmbandWe've seen the Leap Motion Controller use relatively antique infrared sensors to translate your hand movements into input your computer understands (sort of), but it was limited to say the least. The Myo Armband uses Thalmic Labs' proprietary EMG sensors to sense the electrical activity on your arm's muscles, as well as motions and rotations, to wirelessly control your computer or mobile device.

EarinThe Earin earbuds are the tiniest Bluetooth aptX earbuds we've ever heard about, weighing in at just 0.18 ounce and measuring only 0.78-inch tall and 0.55-inch in diameter. Just in case that's too small, you'll be able to get small Concha locks, which grip the contours of your ear, or you can get a tight fit with the included foam tips. We'll certainly get these in as soon as they're available to hear how big a sound comes out such small earbuds.

Peri DuoFor years, we've been restricted to the iPhone's loudspeaker if we forgot, or couldn't bring along, a separate Bluetooth speaker. No longer. The Peri Duo is a slim iPhone speaker case that connects over Bluetooth or Airplay to play your tunes. It has its own battery, which lets you take off the case to use as a standalone Bluetooth speaker if you so wish. You can also multicast your music to several Duos for a more powerful sound.

Scultpify David 3D PrinterIf you've ever worked with spool-fed 3D printers, you'll know they can get finicky sometimes, and they're expensive, too. Sculptify is one of the first 3D printers to use plastic pellets rather than spools. It's actually surprising that pellet-fed 3D printers aren't more common, especially since the majority of our plastic products start out as pellets in manufacturing plants.

The Witcher 3: Wild HuntFans of the Witcher games and open-world RPGs alike, rejoice, for the developers of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt claim this installment will be 30 percent larger than previous titles in the series and 20 percent larger than The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim. Playing as legendary Witcher Geralt of Rivia, you must embark on a new mission to put an end to the brutal Wild Hunt army that's invading the Northern Kingdoms. The Witcher 3 will be available on the PC as well as next-generation consoles.
Spring 2015
Maingear DriftHome theater PCs have been passé for a while, but that doesn't mean computers have no place in the living room. The Drift, the latest from boutique manufacturer Maingear, is about the same size as a console, and primed for PC gaming on your HDTV. It's equipped with liquid cooling and designed to optimize airflow, so it should run almost silently. And the Drift will be available in a variety of custom paint colors to match your home's décor.
Spring 2015
Panono Panoramic Ball CameraThe Panono is a sphere with 36 3-megapixel image sensors placed around it. Throw it up in the air and it captures a single image, stitched together from all of those sensors. A quick bit of multiplication tells you that the final product is a whopping 108 megapixels. That gets you a spherical image that you can spin around (via your Web browser or a special app on your tablet or phone) and zoom into to see more detail.
Spring 2015
Samsung NX500Photographers, rejoice—the NX500 is almost here. It's expected to perform identically to the best-in-class NX1, but lack the weather sealing and integrated electronic viewfinder, and have a reduced burst capability from 15fps to 9fps. It has the same 28-megapixels BSI-CMOS APC-C image sensor and the ability to record 1080p as well as 4K, and the 3-inch rear touch-screen LCD should be good for setting up your shots.
Spring 2015
SenseHello's Sense comes with a sleep tracker called Sleep Pill that attaches to your pillow to track your movement while you sleep using a six-axis accelerometer and gyroscope. The main Sense unit contains ambient light, noise, temperature, humidity, proximity, and particulate sensors to analyze just about everything else that has an impact on your quality of sleep. It relays all the information it collects to your mobile devices via Wi-Fi and Bluetooth LE.
Spring 2015
Sony Action Cam FDR-X1000VSony's Action Cam FDR-X1000V will break you free from the confines of 1080p-resolution action footage, and brings you closer to the Ultra-High Definition world of 4K. The Action Cam obviously hasn't been released yet, nor have we reviewed it, but we can tell you now that 4K video is stunning, and once you record your ski trips or scuba dives in UHD, you'll wonder how you used to tolerate regular 1080p.
Q1 2015
Adobe Lightroom 6Adobe is keeping largely mum about the newest edition of its photo-processing application, Lightroom. What we know is that it's dropping 32-bit OS support and that it won't be offered as a standalone product. Instead, you'll need an Adobe Creative Cloud subscription. So far, Adobe has been referring to the new software as Lightroom 6 rather than using the CC nomenclature it has recently employed for other products, like Photoshop (which will be included with a $9.99-per-month Photography plan subscription).

Jawbone UP 3Fitness wearables started off with the modest task of tracking your daily steps. Now, they're measuring your heart rate while automatically figuring out exactly what your current activity is, whether it's running, cycling, or whatever else you do to stay in shape. The Jawbone UP 3 uses bioimpedance sensors to measure your heart rate, and Jawbone promises to deliver over-the-air updates so the sensor can measure other physiological signals, like respiration rate.

Project AraWhat if you could upgrade your phone's processor after the next generation of apps proves too much for it? Or replace its stock camera with a third-party shooter that outclasses even what you'd get on an iPhone? Project Ara is an initiative devised by Google to develop an entirely modular smartphone with components that can easily be swapped out at any time. With the Ara, everything from the case and the display to the speaker and sensors will be completely customizable.
Q1 2015
Saygus V2PCMag's Sascha Segan called the Saygus V2 the most desirable new phone at CES 2015. In addition to a Kevlar exterior, it has two microSD slots capable of providing 320GB of extra storage—more than you'll find on some current laptops. With mobile screens getting larger and larger, the V2 may be the top choice for those seeking the 5-inch 1080p sweet spot.
Q1 2015
Tivo MegaThe Tivo Mega looks more like a storage drive for the entire Web than it does a DVR for your TV shows. With 24 Terabytes of RAID-configured storage, you could potentially record up to three years of TV. The company itself agrees that it's overkill, but why not? It comes with six different tuners and built-in mobile streaming. It's an absolute beast, and we challenge you to fill it.

Ambi Climate"Smart" versions of common household devices are nice, but they often mean you need to buy a new device to replace a perfectly functional "dumb" one. If you'd rather not buy a new smart air conditioner, you could simply add connected functionality to your current one with the Ambi Climate. It works with your AC's infrared receiver and connects to your mobile devices to let you control the cool from wherever you are in the world.
June 2015
Amp StripTired of bulky fitness trackers? The Amp Strip packs an ECG sensor (for heart rate), an accelerometer (for movement and activity tracking), and a thermistor (for measuring your skin temperature)—and it's no bigger than a Band-Aid. It attaches to your body using a sweat- and water-resistant adhesive that can last up to a week, and you can connect it your favorite fitness apps on your mobile device with Bluetooth 4.0.
June 2015
Batman: Arkham KnightIn Arkham Knight, the Dark Knight returns in this fourth and final installment in the acclaimed action-adventure video game franchise for PC, PS4, and Xbox One.

Fuz Designs NokeHow can the trusty padlock possibly be improved? With Bluetooth, of course! The Fuz Designs Noke will connect to your Android or iOS device via Bluetooth 4.0 to lock, unlock and securely share access with trusted individuals. You'll be able to set a Morse code–style tap code that you enter by pressing down on the lock's shank in case your phone isn't handy, or if the Noke's battery dies.
June 2015
Mota Smart RingFor some, the usually high prices smartwatches command are rarely justified, especially if you're already sentimentally attached to your "dumb" watch. Smart rings could be the answer, and they don't need to replace any current jewelry adorning your fingers. The Mota Smart Ring will connect to your phone so it can display alerts and notifications without requiring you to pull out your smartphone.
Q2 2015
MyFox Security SystemThe MyFox Security System prides itself on preventing break-ins before they happen with its IntelliTAG sensors, which can distinguish between harmless vibrations and malicious events. If the sensors detect sound and vibration patterns that match those of a break-in, the Security System sounds an alarm before burglars even get inside. The Security System integrates with the MyFox security camera, which you can control remotely with a mobile app.

Electric ObjectsThere's a lot of beauty and art on the Internet, but few monitors do justice of displaying it properly. The Electric Objects is a 23-inch, 1080p display that's designed for showcasing art, and connects to your mobile device desktop via Wi-Fi and Bluetooth to let you display anything that catches your eye. It lets you play moving art, too.
September 2015
ZUtA Pocket PrinterThe ZUtA Pocket Printer connects to anything that supports Wi-Fi, and lets you print on any size paper. ZUtA claims it has a 1-hour battery life, and can print more than a 100 pages on a single ink cartridge at about one page per minute. All you need to do is line up the printer's pointed corner with the paper's corner and print away. It's no 40ppm inkjet, but you can take it more than 6 feet from a power source.

Bluesmart Connected LuggageWe thought we'd seen it all when we crossed paths with a Bluetooth connected toothbrush. Now, Bluesmart is about to connect your luggage to your smartphone with its Connected Luggage. From your phone, you'll be able to control locks, locate your luggage anywhere in the world, and receive notifications if it strays too far away. You'll be able to weigh it from the handle, and a built-in battery charger will be able to charge your mobile devices several times over.
Fall 2015
Avegant GlyphThe people behind the Avegant Glyph clearly ignored any warnings about sitting too close to the TV. In fact, they're bringing any media that uses HDMI right up to your eyes with a head-worn device à la Oculus Rift. A Virtual Retinal Display uses a micromirror array to project light onto the back of your eyeballs, basically turning your retinas into a screen, and prevents any pixels from being visible. Headphones come integrated as part of the headset, too.
Fall 2015
Keecker HomePodProjectors can create "displays" you measure in feet rather than inches, but not all of them are designed with mobility in mind. With its mobile robotic HomePod projector, Keecker plans to unleash the Internet and your media from the confines of a screen to any surface in your home—and deliver 360-degree sound, too. Once you've connected the HomePod to your mobile device, you'll be able to instruct it to move around on its built-in wheels and project pictures wherever you like.

Homefront: The RevolutionThis sequel to the successful 2011 game Homefront is set two years later, in 2029. Americans have reclaimed the Western United States from the Greater Korean Republic, and you play Ethan Brady, who's tasked with staging a resistance movement against the GKR's occupation of Philadelphia. The game is being developed by Deep Silver Studios and Crytek, and will be available on PC, OS X, Linux, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.

JiboJibo reckons itself as the world's first family robot. That's not to say it'll pick up after you or do the cooking, like Rosie from The Jetsons. But by intelligently tracking the action around it, Jibo will remind you of calendar events, read out emails, and take videos and photos, among other things.

Asus GX500Asus is already well known for its gaming hardware, but it's pushing things to the next level with its upcoming GX500 laptop. This latest Republic of Gamers model is incredibly thin (just 0.75 inch), unites a top-tier quad-core Intel processor with the latest Nvidia GeForce GTX 860M graphics, and adds a 15.6-inch, 4K IPS display to help make every title look terrific. The company also claims it will be the coolest ultraportable gaming laptop ever with its intelligent dual-fan cooling system, all while weighing only 4.85 pounds.
2015
LG Quantum Dot 4K Ultra HD TVA quantum dot may sound like something that will take you to a fourth dimension, but it's really a technology that uses microscopic crystals to produce a brighter picture with an extremely wide color gamut and even more accurate colors than the already-brilliant OLED. LG's new 4K TVs will use this technology for superior picture quality, and will also contain no toxic heavy metals such as cadmium.

Mellow Sous-VideThough sous vide machines, which use water to slowly cook food in a sealed plastic bag at a relatively low temperature over a long period of time, are becoming a staple of restaurants, they've had more trouble breaking through to the home kitchen. Mellow might change that. In addition to the usual sous vide feats of cooking your food evenly and letting it retain its moisture, it's also smart, so you'll be able to control the Mellow via your mobile devices.

myBrain MelomindThere are countless ways to relax. For example, you could go on vacation, unwind in the tub, or get lost in a good book. But we're in the 21st century, so there's obviously some battery-powered method out there. Enter the myBrain Melomind. It measures the electrical activity and brainwaves through your scalp with electroencephalography (EEG) sensors. Melomind then sends the information to a mobile app to let you visualize your results and monitor your progress, and it coaches you to relax better.

NodThe Nod is a Bluetooth-enabled gesture control ring that lets you communicate with your devices without needing to reach out and touch them. On the outside it looks like a plain black ring, but the portion near your palm is home to a touch panel as well as two tactile buttons, which gives you some physical options in addition to gesture-based controls. It should be great for PowerPoint presentations, and can even be used for gaming.
2015
RitotWhat if your skin could tell you the time? Technically, the Ritot watch will do that by projecting the time, as well as alerts and notifications from your smartphone, directly onto the back of your hand. The company claims the built-in pico projector will be bright enough to project in bright outdoor environments. You'll also be able to customize the projection colors. The Ritot will be available in casual or sport models.
2015
Tom Clancy's The DivisionDeveloped by Ubisoft, Tom Clancy's The Division is an eagerly anticipated third-person tactical shooter that takes place in New York City during an outbreak of a mysterious disease affecting the entire United States.

The Division will be available for Xbox One, PS4, and PC.
