A star of "The Last of Us" is shining a light on what's coming next.
The hit TV series based on the popular video game saga premiered in January 2023 with Bella Ramsey and Pedro Pascal leading the way.
Season one received critical acclaim and a significant following as viewers watched Ellie and Joel navigate a post-apocalyptic world.
It was a dark and gritty show that saw the protagonists battle the infected and humans.
Unfortunately, season two had a noticeable decline in quality. Outside of maybe two episodes, it felt like the show had lost its edge.
The only reason to believe season three might be positive is that the season two finale indicated the show would focus heavily on Abby (Kaitlyn Dever) moving forward.
Now, star Gabriel Luna is pulling back the curtain on what fans can expect.

"This season has been very interesting in the way that a lot of different perspectives shift. Without saying too much, I think folks that were playing the game are aware of that aspect. I just can’t wait for people to see it. We’re shooting it now. I have a little bit of a break," Luna told Variety in a video shared Tuesday night.
You can watch his full comments below, and let me know your thoughts at David.Hookstead@outkick.com.
Here's the basic reality of the situation. "The Last of Us" will have a very small window of opportunity to convince fans to continue sticking around.

The Ellie storyline (Ramsey) got so cringe down the stretch. Abby, who killed Joel in season two, is a far more interesting character, and Kaitlyn Dever is simply a much more captivating actress. She's come a long way since season two of "Justified."
Fans are going to punch out quickly if season three doesn't go all in on Abby as the main focus. Not exactly inspired that's what will happen, judging from Luna's comments, but time will tell.

For years, Netflix has been telling investors how excited it is about its move into video games.
More recently, it has also started talking up its move into podcasts.
But when the company released its third-quarter earnings on Tuesday, the streamer had nothing to say about either foray.
What does that mean? Netflix won't say. But I'm pretty comfortable coming up with my own conclusion: Netflix doesn't think games or podcasts are going to do much for its business, at least in the near future.
That also tracks with new reporting from The Wall Street Journal, which says that Netflix has recently "stopped pushing games and podcasts, focusing more on its core movie and TV offerings."
That's logical, given the most pressing problem the company has: figuring out how to make movies and TV shows that attract new subscribers, and that get its existing subscribers to spend more time on the service.
But it's also a real turnaround, at least in its messaging.
Netflix has consistently talked up games since it launched that business in 2021. In 2022, cofounder Reed Hastings predicted that Netflix would eventually "be a big leader in games." And the company has frequently pointed out its ambitions in its quarterly updates to investors.
Last quarter, for instance, the company highlighted a new World Cup game, and an app for kids games, and said it had "increasing confidence that we are building a foundation with exciting future growth potential."
It has also spent the last two quarters talking up its move into podcasts. In April, it said podcasts were a "potential incremental engagement opportunity." Three months later, it told investors that podcasts were good because they gave viewers more reasons to watch the service during the day (as opposed to the evening, where half of its viewing happens) and on mobile phones.
But on Tuesday, it had nothing to say about either category, other than a single legalese mention about forward-looking statements. But it did make a reference to other people's video games: It said a 27-minute trailer for Take-Two's highly anticipated "Grand Theft Auto VI," which it showed exclusively for a six-hour window, had been a hit.
Both games and podcasts make a certain kind of sense for Netflix, in theory: The company has often talked about the fact that gaming is a big competitor for its viewers' time. So why not try to harvest some of that attention for itself? And video podcasts are really just another term for "talk shows on a budget" — so why not offer those up to viewers as well?
The flip side: It's been hard to understand how Netflix would be able to create games that are better or more popular than everyone else in the game business. And it's an open question whether viewers who turn to Netflix in search of distracting entertainment would be interested in low-fi chats.
Maybe both categories eventually turn into something meaningful for Netflix one day. But the company seems to be saying that won't happen anytime soon.
The "Grand Theft Auto VI" saga has taken a ton of twists and turns in the past year.
From delays to leaks and even the "digital release" controversy, GTA VI has been in the news cycle for so long that it's hard to believe this will all be coming to an end next month.
On November 19, the world will finally get to experience a video game that has been over a decade in the making.
In what could be one of the most anticipated video games of all-time, "Grand Theft Auto VI's" release date will likely be a seismic event in terms of the national economy.
That's not me being hyperbolic, either, as experts are predicting the economy of the United States to take a $1 billion hit the day GTA drops.
It turns out so many people have already lined up their sick days for November 19 and 20 that it's making national news.
Sorry for anyone doing so that I just outed with this article, but that is insane.
I can't remember a game causing this much of a stir.
Even hotly anticipated releases like "Halo" and "Call of Duty" weren't decimating the workforce the way GTA is doing.
And remember, we are still a month away from the game actually coming out.
This is just the fallout from the planners getting their ducks in a row. Can you imagine how many people will call in sick the day of the release?
"Grand Theft Auto VI" is generating so much excitement that the franchise's developers, Rockstar, are turning the city of Miami into a giant billboard for the game.
For those who don't know, GTA VI is set in the fictional Vice City, which is a parody of real-life South Florida.
Whether the game is good or not remains to be seen, and the long wait could always create a case of Rockstar never being able to live up to the lofty expectations they created with the development time.
One thing is for sure, though, for about 24 hours in late November, the world will come to a screeching halt thanks to a video game.
If you have friends or loved ones who are even remotely interested in gaming, don't expect to hear from them during this time period.

“Nos dois primeiros dias passaram cerca de 2.500 participantes pelo Estádio Municipal de Albufeira, ONDE Experimentaram modalidades individuais e coletivas com técnicos de clubes locais e federações nacionais. Vestiram a farda de bombeiro, viram por dentro veículos da GNR e interagiram com os parceiros nas áreas da ciência, ambiente, natureza, empreendedorismo, cidadania e skills sociais. É isto que os ‘ANT GAMES’ fazem: juntam pessoas e instituições locais, regionais e nacionais e dão acesso inclusivo e multidisciplinar a todas estas crianças e jovens”, afirma André Lima, professor de Educação Física do Agrupamento de Escolas de Albufeira Poente e coordenador geral do projeto.
Mil alunos do 1.º ciclo passaram pelo recinto em cada uma das manhãs de 15 e 16 de outubro. Na tarde de dia 15 juntaram-se 500 alunos dos 2.º e 3.º ciclos e do secundário. Ao terceiro dia, o evento saiu das escolas e abriu-se à comunidade, no Parque de Vale Faro.
A quarta edição tem, uma vez mais, o apoio institucional do Comité Olímpico de Portugal e do IPDJ. Ambas as instituições estiveram presentes, com os programas de Educação Olímpica e Cuida-te. A Decathlon é a parceira desportiva oficial.
Durante os dois primeiros dias, as turmas passaram por um circuito de estações com mais de trinta parceiros: desporto federado, ciência, ambiente, proteção civil, cidadania e jogos de tabuleiro. Os alunos dos cursos profissionais da Escola Secundária de Albufeira integraram a organização, no apoio às turmas e parceiros, receção e bar, e registos multimédia.
“A participação do Comité Olímpico de Portugal nos ‘ANT GAMES’ 2026 realça a importância de proporcionar às crianças e jovens experiências educativas e desportivas que promovam, de forma lúdica e participativa, os Valores Olímpicos da Excelência, Amizade e Respeito. Através de uma atividade que desafiou os participantes a conquistar os cinco Anéis Olímpicos e a construir a sua própria Bandeira Olímpica, foi possível transformar a aprendizagem numa experiência de cooperação, descoberta e espírito de equipa”, diz Rita Nunes, diretora do Departamento de Educação e Memória Olímpica do Comité Olímpico de Portugal.
O Curso Profissional de Técnico/a de Massagem de Estética e Bem-Estar da Escola Secundária de Albufeira levou a massagem das mãos aos mais novos. O Curso Profissional de Apoio Educativo acompanhou os grupos participantes e animaram o evento com pinturas faciais e modelagem de balões.
“As crianças e jovens são convidados a explorar, brincar e participar em experiências diversificadas, que estimulam a autonomia, a criatividade e a confiança”, afirma Sónia Guerreiro, diretora do Curso Profissional de Técnico/a de Massagem de Estética e Bem-Estar.
“Para o Minibasquete do Imortal Basket, estas iniciativas são de extrema importância, pois permitem dar a conhecer aos alunos do 1.º ciclo a modalidade, as dinâmicas do clube e a sua metodologia de trabalho”, argumenta Amândio Amorim, Imortal Basket.
“Foi uma boa experiência ver muitos destes adolescentes aproximarem-se de nós, por sua iniciativa, e praticarem Suporte Básico de Vida. Para os nossos jovens da escolinha também foi uma ótima experiência. Entre pares, a dinâmica flui muito melhor”, afirma Verónica Silva Afonso, dos Bombeiros Voluntários de Albufeira.
“O projeto sQIlls desenvolve atividades para a melhoria das competências pessoais e sociais das crianças e jovens, com vista a mais sucesso escolar e à conclusão dos estudos”, refere Pedro Brazão, Santa Casa da Misericórdia de Albufeira.
“Foi a minha primeira vez no “ANT GAMES” e fiquei rendida. Acredito que os jogos de tabuleiro são muito mais do que momentos de diversão: promovem a atenção, a concentração, a resolução de problemas, o respeito pelas regras e o trabalho em equipa, e falamos de crianças e adultos”, afirma Aurora Coelho, Na Mira jogos de tabuleiro.
O terceiro dia, no Parque de Vale Faro, serviu também de formação em contexto de trabalho para os alunos dos cursos profissionais de Desporto, Ação Educativa, Massagem e Estética, Restauração e Bar e Multimédia.
A edição termina na quarta-feira, 21 de outubro, na Escola Básica da Guia, com turmas do pré-escolar, do 1.º e 2.º ciclos da freguesia e com a creche ‘Tempos de Infância’, da Santa Casa da Misericórdia de Albufeira. São vinte estações, entregues por vinte parceiros.

The Italian delegation finished the competition with 75 medals, including 24 gold, while Colombia finished second with 49 medals and 23 gold. Spain took third place with 47 medals, 17 of which were gold.
The Italian wins were based primarily in the artistic and technical disciplines, where they achieved a significant advantage over their rivals. In artistic skating, Italy won twelve medals compared to Colombia’s three.
Meanwhile, Colombia showed its dominance in speed skating, amassing 35 medals in this discipline, including 17 gold. Therefore, they solidified a hegemony that has allowed them to win 23 world titles.

The World Gymnastics Championships in Rotterdam begin with the absence of Russia’s Angelina Melnikova—who was denied an entry visa by Dutch authorities—at a time when the first qualification spots for the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games are up for grabs.
RELATED:
Angelina Melnikova to Lead Russia at the European Artistic Gymnastics Championships
The absence of Melnikova, the reigning world and European champion, will significantly impact the course of the Artistic Gymnastics World Championships in Rotterdam, which begin this Saturday in the Netherlands. The competition will award direct Olympic qualification spots to the three countries that reach the podium in the team event, in both the men’s and women’s categories.
Russia’s participation will be severely limited; in addition to Melnikova, the team will be without Anna Kalmykova—the all-around runner-up at the most recent European Championships—and Viktoria Listunova, a member of the gold-medal-winning team at the Tokyo Olympics. All three gymnasts were denied entry visas.
The Russian Gymnastics Federation described the decision as discriminatory and a violation of the principles of equality that should govern any sporting competition. Meanwhile, the Russian ambassador to the Netherlands accused Dutch authorities of deliberately denying the visas to weaken the Russian team.
The Dutch Ministry of Health, Welfare and Sport rejected these accusations, stating that athletic performance plays no role whatsoever in the evaluation of visa applications, which are governed by the European Union’s Visa Code.

At the same time, attention will also be focused on the return of Brazil’s Rebeca Andrade, a four-time medalist at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. This will be the gymnast’s first major international competition since stepping away from the sport over the past year to recover—both physically and mentally—from the previous Olympic cycle.
Her return will be gradual: Andrade plans to compete, at least initially, on the balance beam and vault. The Brazilian—a silver medalist in the all-around at both the Tokyo 2020 and Paris 2024 Games—leads the Brazilian team alongside Flavia Saraiva; the squad earned a bronze medal in the team event in Paris.
The absence of Melnikova and American Simone Biles—the most decorated gymnast in history, who has not competed since the Paris Games—positions Algeria’s Kaylia Nemour as the top contender for the all-around title.
Nineteen-year-old Nemour won the Mediterranean Games this summer with a total score of 57.750, the highest mark recorded by any gymnast this season. However, she will face stiff competition from 16-year-old Qinqin Ke of China, the reigning Asian champion, and 18-year-old American Hezly Rivera, who will be making her World Championship debut.
In the men’s competition, Japan’s Daiki Hashimoto will aim for his fourth consecutive world all-around title. Should he succeed, the 25-year-old gymnast will move closer to the record held by his compatriot Kohei Uchimura, who won six consecutive gold medals between 2009 and 2015.
His primary rival may well be his teammate Shinnosuke Oka, the reigning Olympic champion. Also in the mix is Croatia’s Illia Kovtun, the current European champion and a world medalist in 2021 and 2023. China’s Boheng Zhang—an Olympic and world silver medalist—will not participate due to a last-minute injury.
Japan enters as the favorite for the men’s team gold, led by Hashimoto and Oka, though they will face a strong challenge from the Chinese squad. The United States and Great Britain—the latter having won the European title in Zagreb—emerge as the top contenders for the third spot and Olympic qualification.
In the women’s division, a revamped United States team will aim to secure its eighth consecutive world team title. Italy—an Olympic silver medalist in Paris—and Brazil, which took bronze at the same event, will be their main rivals

The trailer for GTA VI, the latest installment in the acclaimed Grand Theft Auto video game series, introduces Lucía Caminos, a Latina woman, as one of the protagonists alongside her partner, Jason Duval. Criticism from some fans of the franchise quickly surfaced online. Beyond comments about Caminos’s appearance, some users have labelled her “too dominant” because of her personality and questioned her weapons skills, which they deem “unrealistic for a woman,” even comparing them to those of a U.S. Marine.

Entre as medidas previstas no decreto publicado nesta quinta-feira (15) estão a criação da plataforma pública GameBrasil, o acesso do setor a mecanismos federais de fomento, ações de qualificação profissional e o incentivo à inovação tecnológica.
A agência também deverá propor normas e critérios para a apresentação de projetos de jogos eletrônicos ao Fundo Setorial do Audiovisual e estabelecer critérios para o enquadramento de games brasileiros de produção independente.
Outra medida prevista é a simplificação dos procedimentos relacionados à importação de ferramentas consideradas essenciais para o desenvolvimento dos jogos eletrônicos.
A plataforma GameBrasil terá como objetivo catalogar, divulgar e promover jogos eletrônicos brasileiros. Sob coordenação do Ministério da Cultura, a página ampliará o acesso do público à produção brasileira e fortalecer o setor.
O Ministério da Cultura também poderá manter, no GameBrasil ou em ambiente vinculado à plataforma, repositório de jogos eletrônicos financiados com recursos públicos.
Esses jogos poderão ser disponibilizados para instituições públicas de ensino, pesquisa e saúde, respeitados os direitos autorais e de propriedade industrial.
Serviços previstos para a plataforma GameBrasil:
| Iniciativa | Finalidade |
|
Catálogo |
Reunir jogos eletrônicos brasileiros. |
|
Divulgação |
Dar visibilidade à produção nacional. |
|
Informações de acesso |
Indicar onde os jogos estão disponíveis. |
|
Repositório público |
Poderá reunir jogos financiados com recursos públicos. |
|
Uso institucional |
Disponibilizar os jogos do repositório a instituições públicas de ensino, pesquisa e saúde. |
O decreto prevê ainda a criação, pelo Ministério da Cultura, de uma rede nacional de espaços de formação, experimentação, pesquisa e desenvolvimento de jogos eletrônicos.
A adesão será voluntária e poderá incluir:
A rede deverá estimular a cooperação e o compartilhamento de infraestrutura, conhecimentos e experiências. Também deverá contribuir para a execução de projetos conjuntos, além da formação de estudantes e profissionais.
O Ministério da Cultura poderá desenvolver ações de formação, qualificação e capacitação profissional por meio da Escola Solano Trindade de Cultura e Economia Criativa (Escult).
O Ministério da Educação (MEC) poderá incentivar cursos, pesquisas, projetos de extensão, desenvolvimento tecnológico, inovação e empreendedorismo relacionados aos jogos eletrônicos.
Para cursos de qualificação profissional, o MEC também poderá usar instrumentos do Programa Nacional de Acesso ao Ensino Técnico e Emprego (Pronatec).
As ações educacionais deverão contribuir ainda para o acesso, a permanência e a conclusão dos estudos, especialmente entre integrantes de grupos socialmente vulnerabilizados ou sub-representados.
O Ministério da Saúde deverá regulamentar o uso o de jogos eletrônicos para fins terapêuticos.
A futura norma definirá as finalidades terapêuticas, parâmetros de utilização e requisitos técnicos e sanitários aplicáveis.
Já a implantação de games para treinamento e capacitação deverá observar parâmetros específicos.
Games em treinamento e capacitação deverão seguir os seguintes parâmetros:
O decreto reconhece os esportes eletrônicos como manifestação esportiva de natureza competitiva, praticada individualmente ou em equipes por meio de jogos eletrônicos.
As modalidades poderão ser disputadas em competições, campeonatos, torneios, ligas e outros formatos reconhecidos pelas organizações esportivas.
As organizações ligadas aos esportes eletrônicos também poderão integrar o Sistema Nacional do Esporte (Sinesp), observadas as regras da legislação esportiva.
O Ministério do Esporte deverá promover a integração dos esportes eletrônicos às políticas públicas destinadas à formação esportiva, desenvolvimento de atletas, competições, pesquisa, inovação, integridade, inclusão e acessibilidade.
A implementação do marco legal deverá observar as normas específicas de proteção de crianças e adolescentes.
Além disso, os fornecedores de jogos eletrônicos deverão buscar medidas técnicas para garantir desenho universal e acessibilidade dos serviços, sistemas e comunidades oficiais vinculados aos jogos.
Sempre que possível, a acessibilidade também deverá estar presente nos mecanismos de proteção e segurança destinados ao público infantojuvenil.
Segundo o governo, a regulamentação busca dar segurança jurídica ao segmento e estimular o desenvolvimento da indústria brasileira de jogos eletrônicos. O decreto também amplia a integração dos jogos eletrônicos com políticas públicas de cultura, educação, saúde e acessibilidade.
“O Brasil não pode se limitar a ser um grande mercado consumidor de jogos criados em outros países. Temos condições de criar, desenvolver, financiar e exportar nossos produtos, gerando empregos qualificados, renda e inovação”, disse.
O presidente destacou ainda o potencial dos games para abrir novas oportunidades de trabalho e empreendedorismo, especialmente entre os jovens.
“O papel do Estado é criar oportunidades. A gente está dizendo para vocês: façam que nós damos a cobertura, porque o Brasil precisa de vocês”, afirmou.
A ministra da Cultura, Margareth Menezes, disse que o decreto consolida o reconhecimento dos games como produtos culturais e obras audiovisuais interativas, permitindo ao setor acessar mecanismos de fomento já existentes.
“Game é cultura, game é audiovisual”, ressaltou.
Segundo ela, a regulamentação fortalece a produção nacional, a formação de profissionais e a proteção da propriedade intelectual, além de ampliar o uso dos jogos eletrônicos em iniciativas de educação e saúde, estimular a geração de empregos e impulsionar o desenvolvimento tecnológico.
A ministra também ressaltou o peso econômico da indústria de jogos eletrônicos no país. Segundo ela, o Brasil reúne cerca de 115 milhões de jogadores, está entre os maiores mercados de games do mundo e movimenta entre R$ 12 bilhões e R$ 13 bilhões por ano.
O governo também anunciou a plataforma Game Brasil, destinada à divulgação e promoção de jogos produzidos no país, e uma rede nacional de espaços de formação, pesquisa e desenvolvimento. Para Lula, a política representa uma aposta em setores intensivos em conhecimento.
“O Brasil não pode ser eterno país exportador de soja, de minério de ferro e de milho. O Brasil tem que ser exportador de inteligência, de conhecimento”, afirmou.
Aprovada no Congresso Nacional e sancionada pela Presidência da República em 2024, a lei que criou o marco legal dos jogos eletrônicos estabeleceu princípios para o desenvolvimento sustentável do setor e para a proteção de crianças e adolescentes no ambiente digital.
A legislação abrange jogos para computadores, consoles, celulares e plataformas on-line, incluindo aplicações de realidade virtual e aumentada, mas não se aplica a apostas esportivas, jogos de azar e outras modalidades com premiação em dinheiro.

After ten days of competition, Aina Florenza, Gabriela Rueda, Mizuho Hasegawa, and Nicolly Candeu are leading the way for women in disciplines such as rink hockey, speed skating, skateboarding, and roller freestyle.
Spaniard Aina Florenza, 24, was a key figure on the women’s rink hockey team that secured its ninth world title—and second consecutive one—after defeating Argentina 3–1.
The Catalan forward competed in her fourth World Championship in Paraguay and finished as Spain’s top scorer with six goals, in a tournament where the Spanish squad achieved a perfect winning record. With this result, Spain reaffirmed its status as the most decorated team in the sport’s history.
Florenza has amassed three world titles and three European titles in eight years with the Spanish national team. Additionally, she was named Best Athlete of 2025 by the Royal Spanish Skating Federation and has won five “Golden Ball” awards as the top scorer in the OK Liga Femenina.

The text reads, “Here is the medal tally for the World Roller Skating Games. World speed skating has given Colombia 10 golds.”
Meanwhile, Colombian skater Gabriela Rueda—known as “La Gaviota” (The Seagull)—won two gold medals in speed skating: the 5,000-meter points race and the 10,000-meter elimination race. At 26 years old, she has now reached a total of 17 world titles.
Rueda arrives in Paraguay after winning gold in the 5,000 meters at the Santa Fe South American Games in September and another title at the 25th Central American and Caribbean Games in July. Her record also includes three golds and two silvers at the 2025 World Games in Chengdu, the 1,000-meter sprint title at the 2023 Pan American Games in Santiago, and three golds at the 2021 Junior Pan American Games in Cali.
Meanwhile, 15-year-old Japanese skater Mizuho Hasegawa won two gold medals at the World Skate Games. On October 3, she triumphed in vert skateboarding, and seven days later, she won the park event with a score of 91.00 points, finishing ahead of Britain’s Sky Brown.
Hasegawa had previously won the park title at the World Skate World Cup in Rome in June and repeated that success at the 2026 Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games, held in Japan in September. The young skater has amassed 13 medals over the course of her X Games career.
At the same time, 15-year-old Brazilian Nicolly Candeu was crowned champion in roller freestyle street, becoming the only woman from her country to win gold at these Games so far. Brazil claimed 9 of the 12 medals up for grabs in that discipline.
Candeu is cementing her international standing after winning bronze in the junior women’s park event at the 2024 World Skate Games in Italy.
