The short version

S00N is a curated release calendar for major upcoming games, movies and TV shows. It answers three questions and deliberately nothing else: what is coming, when it drops, and why it matters. No reviews, no news feed, no ratings, no comments. The list is kept short enough to read in one sitting — roughly sixty dated releases ahead at any time — and that shortness is the point.

What gets in

Every entry is scored and filtered before it appears, by the same rules every time, so the list is not a database dump and not one person’s mood. A release makes the calendar when the signals line up:

Major franchises. A new entry in a series with a large existing audience — a numbered sequel, a long-awaited return, a remake of a landmark.

Curated studios and publishers. Games from a set list of developers and publishers whose releases are events in themselves. A big publisher name alone is not enough; the studio or label has to be on the list.

Measured anticipation. How strongly the catalogues we read from — IGDB, RAWG and TMDB — report interest in a title, used as a tiebreaker and to order releases that have no date yet.

Each entry carries a one-line why it matters. If we cannot write that line, the release does not belong on the calendar.

What stays out

Most things. Ports and re-releases without new material, DLC and season passes, early-access snapshots, regional re-launches, and the long tail of releases that are perfectly good but not events. A title can also drop off the calendar if its signals fade or it turns out to be a duplicate of an entry already listed.

Where the dates come from

Dates come from the studios and publishers as published in the catalogues: IGDB and RAWG for games, TMDB for movies and TV shows. Each release has one primary catalogue that owns its date. The other catalogues can flag that something changed, which makes us re-read the primary source, but they never overwrite it — two catalogues disagreeing is a reason to check, not a vote. The published list is re-checked several times a day, so a date that moves shows up here within hours.

A release with no confirmed date is listed under Date to be confirmed rather than given a guess. “2027” is not a date.

A release is missing, or the date looks wrong

Tell us: info@s00n.info. Name the release and, if you have it, the source for the date. We check every suggestion against the criteria above; if it fits, it goes on the calendar, and if we had something wrong, we fix the entry.
