《暗黑破壞神4》第8賽季可能會延期？系列總監暗示「老朋友」將回歸
相關新聞：暴雪打破《暗黑破壞神4》每年一部資料片承諾，第二部要2026才上線
Rod Fergusson 在個人社群 X（推特）上發文提到，《暗黑破壞神4》第 8 賽季開發時間會比他們最初預期的要多出幾個星期，提到團隊正在努力開發下一個賽季的大型更新，還暗示玩家敬請期待，因為一位「老朋友」將會和大家見面。
目前 Fergusson 的說法並沒有確定第 8 賽季是否會延期，畢竟《暗黑破壞神4》第 7 賽季才剛推出 1 個多月，距離結束也還有一段時間。許多網友也都開始好奇，Fergusson 暗示的「老朋友」到底會是誰：「二代的聖騎士 Marshall Carthus？」、「朋友...迪亞布羅算是老朋友嗎？」、「希望這位老朋友能帶回排行榜」
Hey everyone - In the spirit of serving the game, not the plan, Season 8 will take a couple of weeks longer to bake than we initially anticipated. The team is hard at work on some great updates coming in the next season, so stay tuned. Looking forward to seeing an old "friend".

Microsoft made $27.2 billion in 3 months and still chose to lay 9,000 people off, in case you thought there was simply no other way
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Every time I feel like I'm getting a handle on the growth-based nature of capitalism—the idea that the number has to go up, and simply making a profit isn't enough, yadda yadda—a stat in an earnings report clocks me over the head and uproots me from whatever mooring I thought I had. For example, did you know that Microsoft made $27.2 billion in net income in its most recent financial quarter? That's 27,000 million dollars, or roughly 0.39 Blizzard acquisitions. If we take Glassdoor's median average game developer salary of $81,000 a year at face value, that's enough to pay the salaries of 335,802 developers for a year. If I do any more napkin math I'm gonna make myself too sad. That's per the Q4 earnings release (thanks, GamesRadar) which compares itself to the same three-month period of last year. Here are the full stats—the harsh industry conditions under which Microsoft made the decision to put 9,000 employees across the company out of work. Revenue was $76.4 billion and increased 18% (up 17% in constant currency) Operating income was $34.3 billion and increased 23% (up 22% in constant currency) Net income was $27.2 billion and increased 24% (up 22% in constant currency) Diluted earnings per share was $3.65 and increased 24% (up 22% in constant currency) As for the entire fiscal year, Microsoft had a net income of $101.8 billion, an increase of 16%. At the very least, this is congruent with Microsoft continuing to boast about how well it's doing, so well in fact that it cancelled Rare's Everwild, called curtains on ZeniMax's shuttered MMO, shoved a pillow over the head of the Perfect Dark reboot, and stilled Warcraft Rumble. If we take Microsoft chairman and CEO Satya Nadella's words from late last month for granted, this is all due to something called the "enigma of success in an industry that has no franchise value", which is "dynamic, sometimes dissonant, and always demanding." Looking at the stats above, I'm not sure it's actually that enigmatic—there's no real conspiracy here. Microsoft's net income increased 24% compared to the same window of time last year. It has made, in the past three months, more money than any of its laid-off developers and employees will ever see in their lives. Multiple thousand lives, in fact. 4,197 if we assume they work 80 years at that median salary and then die. I told you the math was making me sad. Things are even more grim if we take The Verge's report on the fallout of all this as gospel, where one employee claimed that "Microsoft's leadership team had the choice between reducing investment in AI infrastructure for the upcoming financial year or deeply cutting its headcount and operating expenses." Over the past couple of years, Microsoft's presided over the closure of multiple studios, shut down multiple games, and laid off thousands, and whether The Verge's report is right or not, I think we can conclusively say that it's probably not an enigma. It's probably because it didn't want to make slightly less money than it could've been making. Heaven forbid we only increase our quarterly net income by 14%, the horror. Ugh. Put it on the list.

The Chi Season 8: Release window, cast and plot details – Everything Known So Far
By Aman Shukla Published on August 1, 2025, 20:28 IST Fans of The Chi are buzzing with excitement after the emotional rollercoaster of Season 7, and the good news is that Season 8 is officially on the way! Created by Lena Waithe, this gripping Showtime drama continues to captivate audiences with its raw portrayal of life on Chicago's South Side. Here's everything known so far about The Chi Season 8, from the expected release window to cast updates and potential plot twists. Release Window for The Chi Season 8 While an exact premiere date for The Chi Season 8 hasn't been confirmed, past release patterns offer some clues. Season 7 wrapped filming in October 2024 and premiered on May 18, 2025, following a roughly 12- to 13-month production cycle. If Season 8 follows a similar timeline, filming could wrap by mid-2026, pointing to a potential release in late spring or early summer 2026, possibly between May and July. There's also a chance the season could be split into two parts, as seen with Seasons 6 and 7, with the first half airing mid-year and the second later in 2026. This approach keeps fans engaged while allowing time for post-production polish. Keep an eye on Showtime or Paramount+ for official announcements, as behind-the-scenes factors like writers' room progress or production schedules could shift the timeline. The writers' room for Season 8 opened in February 2025, signaling early momentum. Expected Cast for The Chi Season 8 The heart of The Chi lies in its talented ensemble, and Season 8 is expected to bring back most of the core cast from Season 7. While no official cast list has been released, here's who's likely to return based on recent developments: Jacob Latimore as Emmett Washington, navigating fatherhood and his quest for stability. Yolonda Ross as Jada Washington, Emmett's resilient mother and a pillar of strength. Lynn Whitfield as Alicia Daniels, who stepped into a powerful role after Season 7's dramatic events. Shamon Brown Jr. as Stanley 'Papa' Jackson, a fan-favorite with evolving storylines. Michael V. Epps as Jake Taylor, balancing personal growth and community ties. Birgundi Baker as Kiesha Williams, whose journey as a mother will likely deepen. Luke James as Victor 'Trig' Taylor, grappling with his dual life as a community leader and vigilante. Season 7 saw major exits, including Douda (Curtiss Cook) and Zay, who were killed off, meaning they're unlikely to return unless through flashbacks or a surprise twist. However, The Chi has pulled off shocks before—like Reg (Barton Fitzpatrick) reappearing in Season 7 after being presumed dead in Season 2—so anything's possible. Guest stars like Phylicia Rashad, Wendy Raquel Robinson, Karrueche Tran, Kyla Pratt, Punkie Johnson, Reagan Gomez, and Tammy Townsend joined Season 7, and some could return depending on their characters' arcs. New faces may also be introduced, as the show often weaves in fresh talent to keep the narrative dynamic. Plot Details and What to Expect The Chi thrives on its blend of drama, heart, and real-world issues, and Season 8 is poised to dive deeper into themes of power, family, and survival. Season 7 left several threads dangling, setting the stage for intense developments. Without spoiling too much, here's what could unfold: Emmett and Kiesha's Next Chapter : With a baby on the way, their relationship will face new challenges. Can Emmett stay grounded, or will old habits resurface? Their journey as parents promises emotional highs and lows. Alicia's Power Play : After stepping up following Rob's murder, Alicia's revenge arc and leadership role could dominate Season 8. Expect rivalries and alliances to shift as she cements her influence. Victor's Inner Conflict : Victor's double life—community advocate by day, darker dealings by night—sets up a ticking time bomb. His struggle to reconcile these worlds could drive major plot points. Jake and Papa's Growth : Both characters are at crossroads, with Jake taking on new responsibilities and Papa navigating young adulthood. Their stories may explore love, ambition, and loyalty. Community Fallout: The deaths of key figures like Douda and Rob could spark investigations or power struggles, reshaping the South Side's dynamics. Reg's return also hints at unresolved gang-related tensions. Lena Waithe's storytelling keeps The Chi grounded in authenticity, tackling issues like systemic inequality, trauma, and resilience. Season 8 will likely continue this tradition, weaving personal stories with broader community impact. The show's ability to balance heavy drama with moments of joy and connection ensures it'll hit hard. Ahmedabad Plane Crash Aman Shukla is a post-graduate in mass communication .
