HBO, Roblox, AI & Switch 2: Gaming & Tech Collide!

HBO is developing a television series based on the popular video game "Baldur's Gate 3," with Craig Mazin, co-creator of "The Last of Us," set to serve as creator, writer, executive producer, and showrunner, according to The Verge. The series will continue the story of the game developed by Larian Studios and is expected to feature new protagonists while incorporating existing characters from the game.

The announcement, reported by The Verge, comes as the entertainment industry continues to adapt video game properties for television. The series is in development, and further details about the plot, cast, and release date are still forthcoming.

In other gaming news, Roblox is working to attract more adult players to its platform, as reported by The Verge. The company is shifting its focus to high-fidelity shooters, RPGs, sports, and racing games to appeal to players over 18. This move follows the implementation of age verification last year, and is part of Roblox's strategy to grow its adult user base. According to the 2025 year-end earnings report, 45 percent of Roblox's daily active users are over 18.

Meanwhile, the indie horror film "Iron Lung," directed by Markiplier, is making its way to theaters, as noted by The Verge. The film's journey from YouTube to the big screen is considered unique.

In the realm of retro gaming, Hamster Corporation is offering downloadable versions of retro console games for direct individual purchase on the Switch 2, according to Ars Technica. This move comes after Nintendo replaced its Virtual Console with a subscription service. The new "Console Archives" line of emulated classics will be available for download starting on the Switch 2 and next week on the PlayStation 5.

Finally, in the tech world, OpenAI released GPT-5.3-Codex, its most capable coding agent to date, as reported by VentureBeat. This announcement coincided with Anthropic's unveiling of its flagship model upgrade, Claude Opus 4.6, marking the beginning of what industry observers are calling the "AI coding wars." The two AI giants are also set to air competing Super Bowl advertisements on Sunday.
