In 2023, Matthew McConaughey took the stage at The Game Awards to unveil his first video game project: Exodus.

Opening Night Live 2026 just gave us a first look at Warlock: Dungeons & Dragons in action, and there’s lots to dissect about what was shown.

Explain in chat how your team defines its metrics, for example, and Cowork can use that information when building your next quarterly business review. Discuss…
