Viktor Antonov, best known for his work as art lead on Half-Life 2 and Dishonored, has reportedly died at age 52. Half-Life writer Marc Laidlaw broke the news in an Instagram Story, and other colleagues have since taken to social media to pay tribute as well. I didnt want to say much till I felt it was confirmed, but I learned today that Viktor Antonov, our visionary art lead on HL2, has died, Laidla wrote in the now-expired post, which was reshared by LambdaGeneration on Saturday night. Antonov got his start in video games working on Redneck Rampage, and in addition to serving as art director for Half-Life 2 and Dishonored, he went on to consult on titles including Doom (2016) and Fallout 4. The Bulgarian artist just recently appeared in a documentary celebrating the 20th anniversary of Half-life 2 this past November. RIP Viktor Antonov. I wish I told you how much admiration I had for you but we get caught in our lives until a surprise like this hits us, Raphael Colantonio, founder of Arkane Studios and Wolfeye Studios, wrote on Bluesky. You were instrumental to the success of Arkane Studios and an inspiration to many of us, also a friend with whom I have many fond memories. In another post, game designer Harvey Smith added, All this about his impact and talent is true, but I will also always remember how much he made me laugh, with his dry, devastating wit.

Apple Vision Pro may soon get an update bringing Apple Intelligence to the headset, according to a new report from Bloomberg. The first Apple Intelligence features started rolling out to iPhone, iPad and Mac in the fall, bringing features like notification summaries, ChatGPT integration for Siri and Genmoji over the last few months. But Apples AI hasnt yet made it to the Vision Pro. According to Mark Gurman, that may change with the visionOS 2.4 update, which sources said may arrive in April with Apple Intelligence and a new app for viewing spatial media like 3D images and panoramas. The first Apple Intelligence features to come to Vision Pro will reportedly include Writing Tools, Genmoji and Image Playground. Gurman reports that developers may get access to these features in beta as soon as this week. Dont expect any major changes to Siri on Vision Pro just yet, though. According to Gurman, a major AI overhaul the company had been planning for the assistant has been delayed.

YouTube TV has reached a deal with Paramount to avoid cutting off subscribers access to certain channels, including CBS, CBS Sports and Nickelodeon. Earlier this week, YouTube TV announced in a blog post that Paramount content would be removed from its platform after February 13 because the two had failed to reach a fair agreement that would keep those channels available. On Friday, that deadline was extended, and YouTube TV said in an update on Saturday night that a deal had been reached and access would now go on uninterrupted. Were happy to share that weve reached a deal to continue carrying Paramount channels, including CBS, CBS Sports, Nickelodeon and more, YouTube TV wrote in a blog post and on X. With this agreement, YouTube TV will continue to offer 100+ channels and add-ons including Paramount+ with SHOWTIME and will enable more user choice in the future. To our subscribers, we appreciate your patience while we negotiated on your behalf. BET+ will also remain available.
