On October 2, 2026, PlayStation’s excellent samurai sequel Ghost of Yotei will celebrate its one-year anniversary. The day before on October 1, however, the game will receive some brand new story content, as well as a single player combat survival mode by way of an all-encompassing $69.99 Complete Edition. Or, a $14.99 upgrade pack for existing Ghost of Yotei owners.

A sequel to Hogwarts Legacy is actively in development, according to Warner Bros.

The studio confirmed in a recent earnings report that a "second installment" for Hogwarts Legacy is in the works. No details were provided on what the game will look like or when it might release, but it appears to be a serious focus for the company going forward. In the earnings report, WB expected that titles like Hogwarts Legacy 2 will "meaningfully contribute" to its future revenue.

If you’re a ‘90s kid like me, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie trilogy is basically your entire childhood in a nutshell — sorry, half-shell. All three movies, which came out from 1990 - 1993, are collected in this totally tubular 4K collection from Arrow Video. And right now, despite its $100 MSRP, the set is available at Walmart for $29.99. That’s a radical deal if there ever was one.

House of the Dragon took some big swings away from the book in season three — for example, the entirety of Tumbleton, the besieged town at the heart of the storyline this year. 

There was a fresh look to this Newcastle side in the opening stages and fearless new signing Bazoumana Toure again caught the eye with his pace down the left.

However, Jaissle's team were unable to capitalise on a bright start - spurning a number of opportunities in front of goal - and they looked increasingly vulnerable at the back as the first half wore on.
