The Gamers' Inn Jocelyn and Ryan

We've got sequels on the brain as Ryan checks in on Master Chief and friends with Season 2 of Halo on Paramount+, while both Jocelyn and Ryan discuss further adventures in Alan Wake 2. Over in the news, Apple is opening up the App Store to retro game emulators, Xbox is moving ahead with a next-gen Xbox, our favourite stuff from the Triple-i game showcase, and we have a new story trailer for Star Wars Outlaws.

After a week off, we return with brand new video games to discuss! Jocelyn guides Peach through her latest adventure in Princess Peach: Showtime! Ryan on the other hand spreads democracy, liberty, and freedom through the universe in Helldivers 2. Moving over to the news, we have our first look at Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra, Marvel Rivals looks an awful lot like Overwatch, Take-Two will acquire Gearbox from Embracer, and Discord will have ads soon in the form of Sponsored Quests.

Ryan branches out from Fire Emblem to enjoy the newest strategy tactics game with Unicorn Overlord on Xbox Series X. Jocelyn on the hand catches us up on Hearthstone with the latest expansion Whizbang's Workshop. We have some great news this week as Activision QA workers form the largest video game union yet and we have confirmation that Saber has escaped the clutches of Embracer. Wrapping up the news, we go over the improved Steam Families feature that is now in beta, and the Verge has a report about the PS5 Pro capabilities.

Ryan returns to a galaxy far, far away and completes his journey through Star Wars Jedi Survivor. Meanwhile, Jocelyn battles timeouts in Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League and the ding desert on Warcraft Rumble. We have plenty of news to catch up on as Yuzu and Nintendo reach a settlement in their lawsuit, EA lays off 690 workers, Saber and Toys For Bob escape their corporate overlords, Warner Bros wants more free to play and less AAA, Frostpunk 2 gets a July release date, Nintendo celebrates Mar10 Day with a few announcements, and Amazon Prime has a new Fallout trailer.

We've got plenty of news to discuss this week, as Jocelyn and Ryan think about renaming the news section to "Layoffs and Lawsuits". But before that mess, Ryan has been mining to survive in Deep Rock Galactic Survivor, while Jocelyn played the very complex sounding (and looking) board game Eclipse. As we move into the news, we catch up on the Nintendo Partner Showcase that unveiled 2 of the 4 Xbox Studios games arriving on other platforms, Pokemon Company celebrates Pokemon Day with a few announcements, and we have our first full trailer for the Borderlands movie. In the layoffs category, PlayStation will be laying off 900 staff, and for lawsuits, Nintendo is suing Yuzu. To end on a more fun note, we got our first look at the Elden Ring DLC launching in June!

Who's ready to talk about video games? We are! Ryan updates us all on the TGI Game Club for The Last of Us Part I as they wrap up the main game and prepare for the DLC. Jocelyn on the other hand follows Dead by Daylight dev Behaviour Interactive over to Islands of Insight, which they published. Finally, Ryan jumps between new phone and PlayStation 5 with Honkai Star Rail. In the news, it's all about waiting, as Nintendo may not launch the Switch successor until March 2025, the next Nintendo Direct will be a Partner Showcase, a Pokemon Presents airs next week, and the Borderlands movie spins up the marketing machine as we speed towards their summer release.
