At Opening Night Live, we revealed our next gameplay trailer delving deeper into the character and motivations of our new voiced protagonist, The Stranger. Entitled "Renegade", this action-packed 2-minute trailer is captured entirely in-game from gameplay and custom camera work. The next iteration of the critically acclaimed METRO Franchise, METRO 2039 launches February 2027 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series S/X, Steam and Epic Games Store.

Introduced on stage by 4A Games Executive Producer, Jon Bloch, and Co-Creative Director and Audio Lead, Pavel Ulmer, the new gameplay trailer uncovers more of the dark past and mysterious identity of The Stranger as he employs brutal methods to infiltrate a Novoreich-occupied Moscow. Witness hauntingly beautiful hand-crafted environments, from the realities of daily life in Sevastopolskaya station to the deadly irradiated surface of Moscow, and thrilling FPS stealth action gameplay made possible by harnessing the proprietary power of the 4A Engine.

AMD today unveiled the Kintex UltraScale+ Gen 2 FPGA family. The company's latest announcement is a strategic play for the middle-of-the-market in the FPGA segment that's dominated by the likes of Intel Agilex 5 series. Targeting sectors that demand longevity and reliability, such as medical imaging, industrial automation, and broadcast video production, the Gen 2 family is not just a lithography shrink, but it represents a significant architectural modernization of the existing 16 nm Kintex platform, infusing it with the high-speed connectivity and memory standards required for the data-heavy workloads of 2027 and beyond.

The original Kintex UltraScale+ series from the Xilinx era is popular in the industry, for a performance/Watt balance that made it the suitable for everything from ultrasound machines to 5G radio heads. However, as edge devices have become hungrier for bandwidth, the original platform's connectivity options began to show their age. The Gen 2 update addresses the I/O modernization need. The most striking upgrade is the memory subsystem, replacing DDR4 with newer LPDDR4X, DDR5 and LPDDR5X memory standards. LPDDR tends to be popular for compact, edge devices in the IIoT (industrial IoT) space. This should even pave the way for a new crop of 8K or 4K broadcast-tier cameras. Since these are produced in small batches, FPGAs are preferred over ASICs or elaborate SoCs.

In industrial automation and wired networking systems, designers face mounting challenges finding the right cost-effective solution that balances high-speed data transfer, flexible I/O integration, and long product lifecycles, while maintaining power efficiency and security. To address these growing market needs, AMD introduces two new members of the AMD Spartan UltraScale+ FPGA family, the SU45P and SU60P, which are the smallest devices in the family featuring fast transceivers and PCIe Gen 4 connectivity. This enhanced connectivity, combined with the Spartan UltraScale+ FPGA's advanced security features, provides a compact, power-efficient architecture enabling fast, reliable industrial and wired system designs.

Cost-Optimized FPGAs for Long-Term Design Success
Feature rich, built on a 16 nm FinFET node, the Spartan UltraScale+ devices offer:

• Compact, low-power architecture, reducing thermal management in a space-constrained environment, ideal for control-plane and line-card designs
• AMD Vivado Design Suite, a unified design flow achieving superior timing and routing closure vs. competing solutions, reducing development efforts, improving design cycle and time to market
• Stable long-term supply to reduce costly redesign and requalification cycles with a footprint compatibility upgrade path from Spartan UltraScale+ SU10P/SU25P/SU35P FPGAs

The AMD Spartan UltraScale+ FPGA SCU35 Evaluation Kit is now available for order. Built by AMD, this platform offers customers an accelerated path to production with Spartan UltraScale+ FPGAs. The kit features the Spartan UltraScale+ SU35P device that offers I/O expansion and board management capabilities. It also brings several new advances to the AMD Cost-Optimized Portfolio and enables developers to quickly get started.

Flexible, Reliable, and Power-Efficient Connectivity
The new evaluation kit enables users to validate the Spartan UltraScale+ SU35P FPGA and connect to a wide range of interfacing options available on the kit. It targets cost-sensitive edge applications requiring high I/O, low power, multi-sensor configurations, and state-of-the-art security features, helping developers evaluate fabric performance and efficiency without the need for a custom board.

AMD is pleased to announce that the initial devices in the Spartan UltraScale+ cost-optimized family are now in volume production! The three smallest devices, the SU10P, SU25P, and SU35P, are currently available for order with production device support in AMD Vivado Design Suite 2025.1. Built for cost-sensitive edge applications requiring high I/O, low power, and state-of-the-art security features, this new offering in the AMD Cost-Optimized Portfolio brings modernized connectivity, post-quantum cryptography, and more to the proven UltraScale+ portfolio of FPGAs and adaptive SoCs. First production shipments of the three lowest-density devices mark a significant milestone in the availability of proven, small FPGA solutions for the low and mid-range markets.

A Proven Foundation for Fast Time to Market
Engineers looking for cost-optimized, compact FPGAs also want simplicity and a fast time to market. They need programmable logic, high I/O, robust security, and world-class reliability. They also need tools that deliver push-button timing closure and rapid debug capabilities. Above all, they need a low-risk path to market. Built by the industry leader using proven UltraScale+ technology, Spartan UltraScale+ FPGAs deliver exactly that.
