Netflix has released a sneak peek for *Cyberpunk: Edgerunners* season 2, set to debut on October 20. The clip highlights new characters like Weak Kingsley (voiced by Clancy Brown) and a storyline centered on 'redemption and revenge' in Night City. The season is described as a standalone 10-episode story, though CD Projekt Red has not confirmed a third season. New characters include D and Roman Carrax, but fans are warned that 'it's ruthless out there' for protagonists.
Blizzard's *World of Warcraft: Forever* introduces rule-breaking items, such as an axe that allows mining without the mining skill and a Coldflame Saber enabling a 'battle mage' playstyle. These items, discovered in early beta phases, reflect a shift from a 1:1 remake of the original game. The November 4 release will include hidden books and surprises, with some mechanics reminiscent of the *Season of Discovery* mode. Players report unexpected XP buffs and unconventional gameplay tweaks.
Xbox Game Studios announced 268 layoffs and significant studio consolidations, including moving Halo development to Activision, merging Playground Games and Turn 10, and transferring Rare and World’s Edge to Activision.

The restructuring, part of CEO Asha Sharma's 'reset' plan, follows earlier cuts of 1,600 jobs. Halo Studios will support existing games, while a new Activision team handles the next mainline *Halo* title.
