A promising update on House of the Dragon season 2 has given expectant viewers a 2024 release window to look forward to.
As per Variety, the HBO series could be on our screens in "summer 2024." That’s largely down to filming not being affected by the writers’ and actors’ strikes; scripts were already completed and the UK-based shoot wasn’t a SAG-AFTRA production.
The Game of Thrones spin-off, set 200 years before the events of the main series, charts the fall of the House of Targaryen and a civil war that threatens to tear Westeros apart. Previously, we had seen Rhaenyra and Daemon stand against Alicent and her son Aegon II. Tensions are further raised after the death of Rhaenyra’s second-born Lucerys in an airborne tussle with Alicent’s son Aemond.
The second season, however, will be shorter than the first, coming in at eight episodes. That has a knock-on effect, with a "major battle" intended for season 2 instead being moved to a prospective third season (H/T Deadline).
"There are eight wonderful episodes with so much happening in every episode, and we have trouble, at times, bringing them down to one hour," director Clare Kilner previously told The Hollywood Reporter of the decision to cut the episode count by two in the upcoming season.
If the actors’ strike ends, HBO will also reportedly be "putting its focus" on new seasons of The Last of Us, Euphoria, and The White Lotus next year.

2023 continues to be an extremely difficult year for the video game development industry, with yet another wave of layoffs announced.
Well, this is just Trubbish.

After one year, eight months, and 26 days, Xbox has finally completed its acquisition of Activision Blizzard, meaning it now owns premium video game franchises including Call of Duty, Overwatch, and Diablo.
Video game concerts are some of my favourite things in the world. Final Fantasy’s Distant Worlds, the NieR:Orchestra concerts, the Sonic Symphony - whatever particular series is your personal earworm, hearing music you’ve spent dozens or hours of hours listening to performed by a live orchestra can be incredibly moving and transformative. For those who feel that kind of connection with Stardew Valley, the engrossing farming-slash-romance-slash-dungeon-crawling sim is taking its OST on the road next year.
Two months after PlayStation Plus Premium subscribers began receiving invites to a PlayStation 5 cloud streaming beta, Sony has announced the feature will be getting its full launch on on 23rd October in Europe and 30th October in the US.

It’s official — you’ll soon be able to experience the music of Stardew Valley in live orchestral form, as a real-life concert tour is set to kick off next year across the globe.
Having played 100s of hours of Stardew Valley, I can say with certainty that the soundtrack is absolutely killer. Not only does it feature a combination of genuinely moving and upbeat tracks: but my wife and I also can’t help but hum to the vast majority of the score. That’s going to be a lot more exciting to do in person of course, when the Stardew Valley concert tour kicks off next year.
Unless the FTC's Lina Khan runs in at the last minute to physically tackle Bobby Kotick before he can sign anything, it's looking very likely that Microsoft's acquisition of Activision Blizzard will close in the very near future. I mean very near, you understand, as in possibly this Friday, pending word from the UK market regulator. But if you think that heralds the imminent arrival of games like Modern Warfare 3 and Diablo 4 on Microsoft's Game Pass service, Activision has news for you: It doesn't.
Activision Blizzard expects to bring its titles to Xbox Game Pass as early as 2024, according to a new statement from the company.
