The Ubisoft company will officially announce earnings results for the first half of its 2025-26 fiscal year on Friday, November 21. This follows a delay of their release, as well as a halt of trading last week. With the scheduling of this release, many eyes will be on Ubisoft in expectation of a possible major announcement this coming weekend. Ubisoft announced the new schedule for its H1 2025-26 earnings results in a press release from its investor relations website. According to the company, it will announce its earnings figures “no later than before the opening of trading on Friday, 21st November 2025.” Ubisoft alarmed many when it suddenly halted trading on shares and bonds in France in addition to delaying the release of its H1 2025-26 earnings results. Considering Ubisoft share trade is still currently halted, Ubisoft share trading will also resume on Friday, November 21, 2025. However, these sudden halts and delays left many curious as to what is about to happen with Ubisoft from a business standpoint. The company had some success with Assassin’s Creed Shadows earlier this year, but Ubisoft has done little to light up the gaming scene outside of that with several underwhelming launches and high-profile projects either delayed or canceled.

Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan has added yet another prime asset to his real estate portfolio, this time in Mumbai’s thriving commercial district of Andheri East. According to property registration documents, the actor has purchased two office units in the Kanakia Wallstreet building for a total consideration of Rs. 30. 75 crore. Saif Ali Khan makes major real estate move; buys commercial offices worth Rs. 30. 75 Crore in Mumbai The combined area of the newly acquired offices measures 5, 681 sq ft and includes six dedicated parking spaces. The seller of the property is Apiore Pharmaceutical, a US-based pharma company, as reflected in the registration filings.

The transaction was officially registered on November 18, 2025, with a stamp duty of Rs. 1. 84 crore and a registration fee of Rs. 60, 000. Industry experts note that Andheri East has rapidly emerged as one of Mumbai’s busiest commercial corridors, attracting corporates, global enterprises, and creative firms due to its improved connectivity and infrastructure. Volney’s founder, Rohan Sheth, described the area as a market that combines accessibility with strong rental prospects, adding that it continues to draw long-term investors. Saif’s new commercial investment also places him among several high-profile names who have recently secured space in the vicinity.

He currently resides in a high-end apartment in Bandra West, a property he purchased nearly a decade ago for Rs. 24 crores.

Sony CFO Lin Tao says Destiny 2 has not reached expectations
It’s been a tumultuous period for Destiny 2 maker Bungie since the studio was acquired by Sony. New financial data now reveals that this acquisition has had a notable impact on Sony’s finances.
Sony recorded an impairment loss related to a portion of its Bungie assets. Specifically, the company took a 31.5 billion yen ($204 million USD) loss connected to Destiny 2, as disclosed in Sony’s Q2 2025 earnings report published last night. This significant write-down signals that the popular live service game has not been performing as well as Sony initially anticipated.
Sony’s CFO, Lin Tao, further confirmed these concerns during a subsequent Q&A session, as reported by Eurogamer. He explained that, partially due to changes in the competitive environment, both sales and user engagement for Destiny 2 have fallen short of the expectations set at the time Sony acquired Bungie.
The news underscores the challenges facing Destiny 2 and reflects the broader complexities involved in managing and growing live service games within a highly competitive market.

Reggie Fils-Aime is surprised Xbox ‘has not yet embraced the Switch 2’
With the Nintendo Switch 2 having been out for a few months, there aren’t many voices we’d be more interested in hearing from than former (and legendary) Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aimé. Recently, Fils-Aimé shared his thoughts on the Switch 2’s launch and its performance so far, applauding many of the decisions Nintendo has made.
However, one aspect left him puzzled: he doesn’t understand why Xbox hasn’t been more aggressive in porting its games to the platform.
Fils-Aimé discussed these insights during a recent episode of *The Game Business Show* with host Christopher Dring. When asked about the Switch 2’s launch, he shared several observations, but his standout comment focused on what he perceives as a lukewarm approach to software availability on the new console.
Dring pointed out that while titles like *Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4* have made their way to the Switch 2, and *Indiana Jones and the Great Circle* is expected to arrive soon, Xbox’s presence on the platform remains surprisingly light. This is particularly notable given that developing games for the Switch was a key requirement imposed by trade authorities to approve Xbox’s acquisition of Activision Blizzard.
As the Switch 2 continues to build momentum, gamers and industry watchers alike will be keen to see if Xbox ramps up its support for the platform moving forward.

Saks Off Fifth is closing main NYC store — and 9 other locations in the US
Another One Bites the Dust: Saks Off 5th to Close Nine Stores Across the US
It’s a sad day for savvy shoppers and the end of an era, some might say. Saks Off 5th, the off-price department store and sister brand to Saks Fifth Avenue, is closing nine stores across the United States, including several locations in the tri-state area.
In an effort to “place greater attention to our high-performing and high-potential store locations,” the company has decided to shutter stores in Austin, Texas; Chicago; Washington, D.C.; Franklin Mall in Philadelphia; Pittsburgh North (McKnight Road); Plymouth Meeting, Pennsylvania; East Hanover, New Jersey; Niagara Falls, New York; and West Hartford, Connecticut.
While these stores will remain open until the new year, the main Saks Off 5th store in New York City’s Upper East Side (125 E 57th Street) will officially close its doors on December 31.
When contacted for comment, Saks Off 5th stated, “We are confident this will better position the Saks Off 5th business for long-term success and look forward to continuing to deliver for our customers.”
Contrary to what many might assume, these closures do not signal bankruptcy. Last month, rumors circulated that Saks Global, the parent company, was potentially facing Chapter 11 bankruptcy. However, a spokesperson for the brand quickly dispelled these rumors: “It is important to note that a restructuring is not being contemplated. Moreover, we are making strong progress to reduce outstanding payments, invest in our transformation, and drive improved performance.”
As the retail industry continues to face challenges from declining foot traffic and unimpressive sales, Saks Off 5th joins a growing list of retailers closing locations. This past August, luxury retailer Nordstrom shut its Saint Louis Galleria store in St. Louis, Missouri, as well as a location in Santa Monica, California.
“We believe we’ll be best able to serve customers in each region by leveraging our surrounding stores and through our digital channels,” a Nordstrom spokesperson said in a statement.
The retail landscape is undoubtedly shifting, and Saks Off 5th’s strategic closures reflect a focus on adapting to changing consumer behaviors while positioning themselves for future success.

Jensen Huang says that ‘without TSMC, there is no NVIDIA’
It’s safe to say that much of the world’s semiconductors run on designs built by Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSMC). At the last estimate, the company accounted for about 64 percent of the world’s contract chip manufacturing.
These designs are powering many of the AI technology breakthroughs that NVIDIA is developing. With that in mind, it might come as little surprise that Jensen Huang, NVIDIA’s CEO, had nothing but praise for TSMC during its recent Sports Day event.
Huang went as far as to say that NVIDIA wouldn’t exist without TSMC.
## Jensen Huang Honors TSMC at Sports Day
The comments were made during TSMC’s Sports Day, a recent event held at a stadium in Taiwan, as reported by the online news outlet Focus Taiwan. Huang expressed his admiration for TSMC’s pivotal role in NVIDIA’s history and its broad impact on technology, stating:
> “Without TSMC, there is no NVIDIA today. You are really the pride of Taiwan, you are also the pride of the world. Thank you for helping me build NVIDIA.”
## A Collaborative Partnership Spanning Three Decades
NVIDIA and TSMC have been working closely together for nearly 30 years. NVIDIA has consistently benefited from TSMC’s technological breakthroughs, which are integral to the development of NVIDIA’s cutting-edge products, including the Blackwell AI chips.
With such an extensive history of success, Huang clearly has more than a vested interest in maintaining strong relations with TSMC—especially as the company and the Taiwan region face challenges in trade and export negotiations with the United States government.
This enduring partnership continues to be a cornerstone for innovation in the semiconductor industry and artificial intelligence technology worldwide.

EXCLUSIVE: Akshay Kumar–Anees Bazmee reunite for madcap love triangle – a reimagined Sankranthiki Vasthunam; to go on floors in February 2026
**Anees Bazmee and Akshay Kumar Reunite for a Reimagined Version of *Sankranthiki Vasthunam***
After delivering blockbuster hits like *Welcome* and *Singh Is Kinng*, Anees Bazmee and Akshay Kumar are teaming up once again. Reliable sources have confirmed that the duo’s next project will be a reimagined version of the Venkatesh-led Telugu film *Sankranthiki Vasthunam*. Produced by Dil Raju, the upcoming film is being touted as an out-and-out comic entertainer.
According to a source close to Bollywood Hungama, “Anees and Akshay loved the plot of the lead character stuck between his wife and ex-girlfriend that *Sankranthiki Vasthunam* revolves around. However, the original film had a strong Telugu flavor. To make the story more relatable for the Hindi-speaking audience, Anees Bazmee is reimagining the film while keeping the core plot intact.”
The source added, “Anees is a master at creating fresh screenplays based on already established films. This project will be not only bigger than the original but also funnier, as Anees plans to incorporate several new gags into the narrative, which were absent in the original. Over the past three decades, Bazmee has excelled in writing love triangles with a comedic touch, and this film fits perfectly into his style of situational comedy.”
Currently, the writing process is underway in full swing. The makers aim to start filming the untitled project in February 2026. Importantly, the film is not a remake but rather a reimagined take on the original. The screenplay will blend new scenes with existing elements to create a fresh cinematic experience.
“It’s about 60% fresh sequences and 40% original content to preserve the essence of the plot,” the source revealed.
Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting comic venture from Anees Bazmee and Akshay Kumar!

Nebraska volleyball dominates Illinois for 14th straight sweep
Nebraska (23-0, 13-0) continued their dominant November with a home stand against Illinois (12-10, 7-6) on Thursday night. The Huskers delivered another sweep, overpowering the Fighting Illini in straight sets (25-11, 25-15, 25-14) to secure their 14th consecutive sweep and extend their streak to 43 straight set wins.

Nebraska finished the night with 49 kills on 86 attacks, boasting an overall .488 hitting percentage.
Defensively, Nebraska posted 40 digs and seven blocks, limiting Illinois to a .095 hitting percentage. Andi Jackson led the charge with a perfect 9-for-9 in attacks and contributed four blocks. Virginia Adriano and Harper Murray each added eight kills, while Teraya Sigler finished with 6-of-12 attacks and a service ace. Taylor Landfair and Skyler Pierce combined for eight kills on 13 attacks, each contributing four kills. Additionally, Allie Sczech, Rebekah Allick, and Manaia Ogbechie each provided three kills in the win.
Bergen Reilly led Nebraska in both assists and blocks, tallying 29 assists and five blocks, while also recording seven digs. Laney Choboy had a standout performance with a career-high 20 digs alongside two service aces.
Looking ahead, the Huskers will hit the road for their next series of matches starting with a Saturday afternoon battle at Minnesota. First serve is scheduled for 2:30 p.m. CT and will be available to watch on Peacock.
