Ion Sci-Fi keeps an eye on sci-fi entertainment and anything related, with news, views and reviews every week
This year is shaping up to be huge for futuristic dinosaur survival game Ark, with updates, a sequel and an animated TV adaptation.
But there's also the other Ark, which we last heard about at the beginning of last year when Syfy gave it the thumbs up and had since forgotten. Now there's a trailer, though not a great one in our estimation.
Apple have dropped a substantial 2 minute sneak peek at season 2 of Foundation.
A very respectable length for a peek.
We have the year's first sci-fi cancellation - Netflix's 1899 series.
Interestingly this comes a week before Critics Choice winners are announced, with this series having been nominated in the Best Foreign Language series category.
Coming out of the CES (Consumer Electronics Show) 2023 we have some of the year's first game trailers.
For alternate history Soviet action roleplaying game Atomic Heart and zombie apocalypse open world massively multiplayer online roleplaying game The Day Before.
One thing we've seen but not previously commented on are widespread complaints that Disney failed to promote animated film Strange World, which resulted in a huge theatrical $100 million (US) loss.
Lightyear not being awesome and some of the Strange World teasers also underwhelming we had assumed that it was just a dud film and Disney had wisely cut their losses. But it having arrived on Disney+ we've now seen it and are puzzled.
Last month we commented on Amazon's announcement of a live-action series adaptation of the fantasy God of War games. Focusing on how that potentially relates to a Stargate revival.
Our view had been optimistic but YouTuber SCI-TREK claims that efforts have stalled again, this time on Amazon's decision to shunt it to MGM+.
Sneaking right in at the very tail end of the year is a trailer for a new Warhammer 40K animated series, Pariah Nexus.
Releasing Winter (Oz) on Warhammer+.
