Catch up on the latest news, rumours and announcements from the world of video games, tech and entertainment:

– Two new playable characters will form part of the first, upcoming DLC pack for the horror game, “Darkest Dungeon 2”: Duelist, a combatant capable of switching between Defensive and Aggressive stances, and Crusader, a Hero who first appeared in “Darkest Dungeon”.

– Digital Bros Group, the parent company of “Ghostrunner” publisher 505 Games, has laid off around 30% of its staff members worldwide “in order to prioritise high-quality and long-standing successful titles.”

– According to Digital Bros Group, the lay-offs are part of their “restructuring programme”, which will see them focusing on releasing sequels and new versions of their existing games, with only a limited budget allocated to new, larger projects.

– Season 2 of the drama series, “The Last of Us”, based on the acclaimed eponymous game, will reportedly enter production in January 2024. The season is then expected to be released in 2025.
