HBO renewed A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms back in November, with season 2 expected to arrive in 2027. That season will adapt The Sword Sword , Martin’s second novella about the adventures of hedge knight Ser Dunk the Tall and his squire Egg, also known as Westeros' king-to-be Aegon Targaryen V . And after that? source https://www.polygon.com/knight-of-the-seven-kingdoms-season-2-showrunner-interview/

Last week, PlayStation aired a super-sized State of Play stream that showed exactly what to expect from the PlayStation 5 in 2026 and beyond. It was an illuminating hour filled with genuine surprises, from a sequel to indie hit Kena: Bridge of Spirits to a full remake of the original God of War trilogy. But the biggest takeaway from the show wasn’t any one game. Rather, it’s that a big-picture strategy is coming into focus: PlayStation is all in on courting younger audiences. source https://www.polygon.com/playstation-younger-players-kid-games-strategy/

The Virtual Boy comes in an uninteresting red box that’s similar to Nintendo’s other accessory offerings, and it’s a shame the packaging doesn’t take inspiration from the original, gloriously ‘90s box art. I’d assume the target demographic for this is mostly collectors, so it’s disappointing that Nintendo doesn’t put much care into the packaging of its retro gear. Atari’s throwback 2600 console really nails the ephemera element by comparison, including display-worthy replica cardboard boxes and super-detailed manuals with each of its games. If the new Virtual Boy came in a box like this, I’d certainly think twice before throwing it away: source https://www.polygon.com/virtual-boy-nintendo-switch-review/

The Arc Raiders Shrouded Sky update is February's installment on the roadmap that Embark Studios published last month, and it's the chunkiest one there in terms of the sheer quantity and variety of new content we're getting. It follows Headwinds in January, which added things like the Trophy Display project and the Bird City map condition, while Flashpoint will come in March, followed by Riven Tides in April. This is all part of an overarching group of Arc Raiders updates called Escalation. source https://www.polygon.com/arc-raiders-shrouded-sky-update-release-time-est-pst/

While it doesn’t hit me every night, there are at least a few times a month where, after my kid is asleep and I have enough energy where I think I can make it another couple of hours, all I want to do is to watch a good black-and-white movie. Perhaps it's the generally slower pacing of the films or maybe it’s even the black-and-white look itself, which offers a contrast to the bright colors that blaze into my eyes for the hours a day spent on my phone and laptop, but something about monochrome photography soothes me. And when I get that particular black-and-white itch, there’s really only one streaming service I rely on to scratch it and that’s HBO Max. source https://www.polygon.com/3-movie-masterpieces-buried-on-hbo-max-feb-21/
