**Monday, October 26, 2026 · morning briefing**

A domesticated Deathclaw, a commemorative rifle, and a secret agent disguised as
a nanny. Monday has arrived with a fairly broad job description.

## the deathclaw needs a walk

Fallout 76’s World Pets update arrives December 1, letting cats, dogs, radhogs and
domesticated Deathclaws leave the C.A.M.P. and join your adventures. [Bethesda says](https://steamcommunity.com/app/1151340/announcements/?l=english)
companions can be named, customized and given commands, with [a refreshed Skyline Valley arriving alongside them](https://fallout.bethesda.net/en-US/news/fallout-day-celebration-2026-roundup).
Yesterday’s Fallout news concerned the [reality-show vault](https://tacobout.online/2026/10/25/telly-afternoon-briefing-2026-10-25-pm/);
this is the game update, with considerably more demanding pet-sitting.

## super earth has authorized a party hat

Helldivers 2 is celebrating Liberty Day today with the AR-23L Liberator Legacy rifle
and 24 hours of Super Destroyer decorations. [Arrowhead says](https://blog.playstation.com/2026/10/26/celebrate-helldivers-2-liberty-day-2026-with-in-game-gifts-today/)
the rifle will be distributed at 23:59 CET, or 5:59 p.m. Central, to players who
have played since September 26. The studio also has printable party materials and
community minigames ready. Even the space-war bureaucracy has a crafts department.

## rocky has a pre-production montage

[Amazon MGM has released a new trailer for _I Play Rocky_](https://www.aboutamazon.com/news/entertainment/i-play-rocky-trailer-cast-release-date-amazon-mgm-studios),
starring Anthony Ippolito as a young Sylvester Stallone trying to get _Rocky_ made
with himself in the lead. Peter Farrelly directs, with Matt Dillon, AnnaSophia Robb
and Tracy Letts among the cast. It opens in select theaters November 6, with a wider
release later that month. The underdog story now has an underdog story about getting
the underdog story financed.

## wwe has entered the nanny business

Drew McIntyre, Joe Hendry and Jacob Fatu appear in [_Agent of Shadows_](https://www.wwe.com/article/watch-wwe-superstars-in-agent-of-shadows-on-reelshort),
a new ReelShort microdrama alongside Marc Herrmann and Chase Mattson. Its secret-
agent dad has to pose as his daughter’s nanny while protecting his family and keeping
his identity hidden. [WWE’s announcement includes a behind-the-scenes look](https://www.wwe.com/videos/go-behind-the-scenes-of-agent-of-shadows-on-reelshort)
at the mobile-first series. Wrestling’s existing expertise in elaborate family problems
should transfer nicely.
