Valve still unsure on Steam Deck 2 timing
Today's gaming news is mostly quiet after a busy BlizzCon week, with the biggest story being Valve's continued uncertainty about a Steam Deck 2. The rest of the day is filled with delays, layoffs at IGN, and SEGA announcing a bunch of Netflix adaptations.
Hardware and industry
Two stories about the state of the industry today: one about a device that doesn't exist yet, and one about layoffs at a major outlet.
IGN laid off staff during what is usually their busiest month. Reports suggest remote employees are being asked to relocate.
Announcements and delays
A few new reveals and a notable delay round out the day.

SEGA and Netflix are working on three projects: a live-action Crazy Taxi comedy, a new Sonic kids' animation, and a live-action crime drama from the Yakuza studio.
Ace Combat 8's story trailer sets up a conflict to reclaim a region from a rebel force. Release is October 2.
007 First Light for Switch 2 has been delayed to March 2027 to ensure quality.
