Ask HN: A tool to keep me updated about a specific topic, focused on relevancy

I saw a video mentioning an upcoming videogame that I really liked, with the release date still tba. It's probably going to take at least a couple of months until the next major announcement. So in order to keep it on my radar, I'm wondering what's the best way to keep myself updated with new major announcements.

My problem with Google Alerts is that it gives me every bit of news about that game. For my search ("Everwild") the first results in the alerts preview are about new developers being hired, and an article about the "most anticipated games of 2020". Example: https://imgur.com/a/V1hYBVn

I don't necessarily care about those, I'd just like to know about the release date when it's announced, delays, actual release, reviews etc, things that I would consider major milestones. So the tool would have to have some measure of importance/relevancy/popularity. Ideally it gets the data from multiple sources, like news outlets, youtube, twitter etc. Does something like that exist, either specific to games, or as a tool in general?
