Month: October 2026

Game of Thrones: Legends rolled out its Lord of the Hightower event for mobile players today, October 7. The update brings in a limited-time summon banner tied to House of the Dragon, even though it isn’t connected to any new HBO episode, special, or bonus release.

The Lord of the Hightower event runs from October 7 at 4 a.m. ET through November 4 at 2 a.m. ET. It includes Ormund Hightower, Ser Gwayne Hightower, Otto Hightower, Rhaenyra Targaryen, Aegon II Targaryen, and Sunfyre. Ormund Hightower is the main new addition as a playable character, and he’ll also show up as the featured Champion in Grand Melee from October 12 through October 17.

If you play Game of Thrones: Legends on a regular basis, this is one to pick up. In Game of Thrones: Legends, Summons are limited-time banners where you pull Champion Shards to unlock new characters or power up the champions already in your lineup. The Lord of the Hightower banner joins the other October banners, including Robb’s War and a Winterfell-themed summon.

The House of the Dragon branding has thrown some people off, but there still isn’t any official TV release set for October 7. House of the Dragon season 2 premiered on June 16, 2024, season 3 has already been renewed, and reports say work on seasons 3 and 4 is in progress. If you want the Lord of the Hightower content, you can find it now in Game of Thrones: Legends on mobile.

Prime Video’s Neagley is out now, and it’s already streaming. That gives Reacher its first big spinoff, and it also delivers a franchise-level answer to a question fans have had for a while: why Frances Neagley can’t stand being touched.

Amazon Prime Video Download

Season 1 moves Maria Sten’s Frances Neagley from supporting player in Reacher to the center of the story. In the process, it changes the canon by linking her haphephobia to childhood trauma. You find out she witnessed her police officer father kill a man who had sexually abused a child, then grab her and say, “No one ever touches you.” That memory comes back during Frances Neagley’s Chicago investigation into the suspicious death of a childhood friend.

The series doesn’t go for a neat fix, either. By the finale, recovery is treated as something slower, something tied to understanding and therapy, and that choice makes Neagley feel like a real part of the larger Reacher universe, not some side story you can skip; on the business side, it’s easy to see why Prime Video renewed it in October 2026 after, according to Prime Video, it drew about 40 million viewers in 13 days, became the platform’s fourth-biggest original debut, pulled 52 to 53% of its viewing from outside the U.S., landed a Certified Fresh score on Rotten Tomatoes, drew praise for Maria Sten, and even got Lee Child to say it answered questions he’d never fully answered himself.

If you follow Reacher, this spinoff is worth a look, especially with Zero Margin, the first Neagley novel from Lee Child and Yasmin Angoe, set to arrive in March 2027.

You can watch Neagley now on Prime Video.

NBCUniversal is moving ahead with Sicario 3, and Taylor Sheridan is back to write it. News of the sequel came out through reporting on Sheridan’s new deal with the studio, which finally puts some weight behind a project that has spent years stuck in rumors, delays, and development limbo.

Trade reports have been referring to the film as Sicario: Capos, though that could still change. Either way, if you’ve been waiting since 2018’s Sicario: Day of the Soldado, this is the first update that feels like actual movement. Anyone who’s followed this series for a while should probably keep an eye on it.

Josh Brolin has already said it “is happening” and should start soon, so Matt Graver looks set to return. Benicio del Toro also seems likely to come back, since Alejandro made it through the last film. Emily Blunt is still the big question mark.

Denis Villeneuve probably won’t be directing this one. He’s tied up with Dune: Part Three and the next James Bond movie, and reports say he wasn’t approached anyway. That changes the picture quite a bit. Villeneuve and Roger Deakins were a big part of what made the 2015 original so acclaimed, while Sicario: Day of the Soldado got a much more divided response and brought in a weaker box office, even with Sheridan writing. And hanging over all of it are today’s border politics, plus the usual risks that come with picking up a franchise after such a long gap.

At this point, Sicario 3 looks like a real NBCUniversal project, with production expected to start soon.

The Legend of Zelda: Quartet of Time has been announced as a fan-produced album from ZREO: Second Quest. It’s performed by ATLYS and built from the music of Nintendo’s The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, but it isn’t an official Nintendo release. What sets it apart is the scale. Rather than going bigger with electronic production or full orchestral remixes, the album takes one of Zelda’s most beloved scores and pulls it into intimate string quartet arrangements. A full release is on the way, though there’s still no confirmed launch date.

The announcement lands in the middle of a larger wave of Zelda news. Ocarina of Time is still the most musical game in the series, mostly because its songs are something you actually play, from “Zelda’s Lullaby” to “Song of Storms” to “Epona’s Song.” Earlier reports also said Nintendo’s 40th-anniversary plans include a Switch 2 remake on November 5, 2026, followed by a 2027 concert tour, plus themed hardware, amiibo, and LEGO and Hasbro merchandise.

If you follow Zelda music, or just have a soft spot for Ocarina nostalgia, The Legend of Zelda: Quartet of Time is one to keep an eye on, even if it belongs more to the broader anniversary moment than to any official companion release. Early tracks are available through ZREO: Second Quest’s Patreon, and you can sign up on the group’s website if you want updates.

Released on May 11, 2026, Battlestar Galactica: Scattered Hopes puts you in charge of an unnamed Gunstar Captain trying to hold together a fragile survivor fleet after the fall of the Twelve Colonies. It’s a PC fleet-management roguelite, and it throws you straight into the kind of desperate command situation the Battlestar name promises.

Steam Download

The game runs parallel to the events of the 2004 TV series instead of replaying them from Galactica’s bridge. What you get is a survival-heavy fleet-management roguelite built around that familiar Battlestar tension, where every call costs you something. Away from combat, your turns are limited, so you’re constantly choosing between sending out expeditions, upgrading ships, training crew, and keeping healthcare, maintenance, and fleet politics from sliding off the rails. Then the game piles on equipment failures, epidemics, faction infighting, and even the possibility of a Cylon infiltrator, any of which can upend your plans fast.

Combat shifts into paused real-time tactical battles. You can direct squadrons, fire the Gunstar’s weapons, and stop the action long enough to map out your next move. And sometimes that’s all it is: hang on, take the hits you have to take, and survive long enough to make the next FTL jump.

If you’ve been waiting for a new Battlestar game since Peacock killed the Sam Esmail-led reboot in 2024, this one looks like a good pick. Battlestar Galactica: Scattered Hopes lets you unlock four starting fleets, each leaning into different strengths, including squadron control, electronic warfare, and long-range bombardment. Early response on Steam sits at Mostly Positive across more than 1,000 reviews, according to the store page. Alt Shift developed it, Dotemu published it, and it launched on May 11, 2026 for $24.99 on PC through Steam and GOG. Some players are already comparing it to FTL.
