In Colombia, where school uniforms are mandatory and positioned as tools for equality, menstruation care brand Somos Martina has taken that principle to its logical next step: integrating period underwear directly into the official uniform.Across Latin America, 25% of girls regularly miss school because they lack reliable period care. Launched as a trial at Bogotá's Institución Educativa Mayor de Mosquera with backing from Colombia's Vice Minister of Education, the Period Uniform shifts menstrual equity from ad hoc distribution programs to standard practice. By listing period underwear alongside socks and shirts on the required items list, schools make protection standard rather than supplemental.The approach leverages existing systems rather than inventing new ones. Schools already procure uniforms; adding period underwear to that supply chain makes access automatic and economically sustainable. Lasting up to three years with 12-hour protection, the product outperforms disposable period products on both affordability and environmental impact. Gynecologist Dr. Laura Gil emphasizes its suitability for young users: non-invasive, comfortable, and free from the irritation and health risks associated with tampons or pads.

2K owner Take-Two has paused development on Borderlands 4 for the Nintendo Switch 2, the company shared during its Q3 2026 earnings presentation. The Switch 2 port was originally planned to be released on October 3, 2025, a few weeks after the game's September 12 launch on all other platforms, but was indefinitely delayed on September 23."We made the difficult decision to pause development on that SKU," Take-Two told Variety. "Our focus continues to be delivering quality post-launch content for players on the ongoing improvements to optimize the game. Were continuing to collaborate closely with our friends at Nintendo. We have PGA Tour 2K25 coming out and WWE 2K26, and we're incredibly excited about bringing more of our titles to that platform in the future."When the Borderlands 4 Switch 2 port was originally delayed, the game's developer Gearbox shared that the port needed "additional development and polish time" and that it hoped to "better align this release with the addition of cross saves." In Take-Two's Q2 earnings presentation on November 6, 2025, the Switch 2 port was still listed as having a "TBA" release date. The lack of mention in the company's Q3 presentation and Take-Two's comment to Variety pretty much confirm that if a Switch 2 version happens, it won't be anytime soon. The official Borderlands 4 post-release content roadmap currently lists plans for paid and free story DLC and raid bosses, but nothing related to additional ports of the game.Grand Theft Auto VI's planned November 19 release date is still on the books, however. Rockstar Games' next blockbuster title was originally supposed to be released in fall 2025, before it was delayed to May 2026 last May. The game was delayed a second and final time at least for now in November 2025, to its current November 2026 release date. There's still room for another delay, but in the earnings statement Take-Two projected confidence, sharing that Rockstar would start marketing the game this summer. The franchise remains a cash cow, so its only natural the company would want to get the rollout of Grand Theft Auto VI right. As part of its earnings presentation, Take-Two shared that Grand Theft Auto V, which was originally released all the way back in 2013, has sold 225 million units.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/gaming/take-two-hit-pause-on-the-switch-2-port-of-borderlands-4-222546776.html?src=rss
