House of the Dragon promised all-out war between its two Targaryen factions, and so far, promo for season 2 is delivering — literally — with trailers for the dueling branches of the family going head to head.
Both start with a rallying cry for their one true ruler and their steadfast belief in their legitimate claim to the throne: Rhaenyra (Emma D’Arcy) on the Black side and Aegon (Tom Glynn-Carney) on the Green side. But the narratives divest from there.
Although both trailers show the opposing house, HBO was clever to vary the glimpses of the Targaryens going about their business. It may all be the typical quick cuts and furrowed brows of any traditional teaser, but we’re technically getting more of a look into where these unhappy people find themselves (even if it’s hard to tell what notable book events might get featured; we still don’t even know for sure who Daemon was singing to at the end of season 1).
But here’s what we know: Rhaenyra and Alicent (Olivia Cooke) each still feel personally wounded by the other. Corlys (Steve Toussaint) warns that the Hightowers are marching, while Otto (Rhys Ifans) maintains his grandson’s right to be king. Daemon (Matt Smith) threatens to burn a house down for not bending the knee to Rhaenyra, while Aemond (Ewan Mitchell) looks forward to fighting his uncle because he’s a little freak who lives for the drama. One thing that becomes clear watching these trailers: Gone are the time jumps of season 1. We will be feeling the agony of this Dance of Dragons in real-time (or near it; it’s still TV).
As of the time of this writing, Team Black is in the lead in this Targaryen Civil War, with more than 100,000 more views on YouTube. That doesn’t mean a ton to a Westerosian highborn, but it means that come June, there might be more people rooting for Rhaenyra and her dragon than Aegon and his.
House of the Dragon season 2 will premiere on HBO (and Max) on June 16.

The final major decision in requires every player to choose between sacrificing their best friend or fighting the titular Dragon. The game requires many choices, from the simple selection of classes in to its pivotal story decisions. While every decision has its consequences, the ending a player sees is entirely determined by their choices around the confrontation with the Dragon. The right answer may seem obvious, but even the most minor decision in these final scenes can have devastating consequences.

A fourth mainline Spyro the Dragon game might be in development at Toys for Bob, at least according to a new rumor. Fans have been itching to see the spunky purple dragon in a starring role once again for a long time, as there hasn’t been a new completely original Spyro game since The Legend of Spyro: Dawn of the Dragon way back in 2008. Over the past decade or so, Spyro has been relegated to supporting roles and cameos in titles like Skylanders and Crash Team Rumble, though fans got to replay his first three adventures thanks to 2018’s Spyro Reignited Trilogy.
Dragon's Dogma 2 is, to put it mildly, an atypical RPG. To put it less mildly, Capcom was well and truly off its rocker and on a bender with this one. Exhibit A: the Unmaking Arrow, an arrow so powerful that, per its hilariously blunt in-game description, it auto-saves the game when fired, "so choose your moment with due care." Dragon's Dogma 2's approach to game design – friction-first, rule-breaking, and seriously unserious – has sparked some division but ultimately earned the game critical acclaim, and the Unmaking Arrow in particular has been lauded by many veteran game developers.
