Baldur's Gate TV Series Announced, Developers Excluded

The award-winning fantasy game series "Baldur's Gate" is being adapted into a television series by Craig Mazin, the creator of HBO's "The Last of Us" and the 2019 hit "Chernobyl," according to BBC Technology. However, developers Larian Studios, who created the critically acclaimed "Baldur's Gate 3," will not be directly involved in the production. In other news, YouTube's revenue for 2025 exceeded $60 billion, as reported by BBC Business, and a button-sized snail, once thought extinct, is thriving again in Bermuda after a decade's conservation effort, as detailed by The Guardian.

The "Baldur's Gate" TV series will continue the story where the game series left off, according to BBC Technology. "Baldur's Gate 3" launched to monumental critical and commercial acclaim in 2023, selling over 20 million copies and winning all five major Game of the Year awards. While Mazin worked with "The Last of Us" creator Neil Druckmann for his previous adaptation, Larian Studios will not be directly involved in this new project.

YouTube's $60 billion revenue figure, which includes money generated through advertising and paid subscriptions, surpasses streaming rival Netflix's $45 billion revenue, according to BBC Business. This is the first time Google has individually highlighted its video platform's yearly revenue since acquiring it in 2006. Hanna Kahlert, a senior analyst at Midia Research, stated that while the announcement was significant, it was "perhaps not a surprising one," given YouTube's status as "almost infrastructural for digital natives."

In other news, conservationists have successfully bred and released over 100,000 greater Bermuda snails, also known as Poecilozonites bermudensis, according to The Guardian. The snails, once believed to be extinct, were found in the fossil record but vanished from their North Atlantic archipelago home. A remnant population was discovered in a damp and overgrown area, leading to the decade-long conservation effort.

Meanwhile, the Winter Olympics opening ceremony in Milan became an outlet for expressions of discontent, according to Sky News. Jeers were heard for the Israeli delegation and US Vice President JD Vance during the ceremony. International Olympic Committee (IOC) president Kirsty Coventry's pleas for respect were ignored.

Euronews' latest news bulletin on February 7th, 2026, also highlighted these and other top stories from around Europe and the world, including business, entertainment, politics, culture, and travel.
