Summary

On this big episode, Ben Hanson, Leo Vader, and Kyle Hilliard are joined in the studio by MinnMax video editor and Game Informer associate editor Charles Harte to talk about an eventful week in the game industry. We touch on the official confirmation that the Switch 2 will be revealed before the end of Nintendo's calendar year before diving into the big news of the week: Microsoft making the brutal choice to shut down four of its game studios, including Arkane Austin (Dishonored, Prey, Redfall) and Tango Gameworks (Hi-Fi Rush, The Evil Within Series). We also talk about games we've been playing and enjoying like Hades 2 from Supergiant Games, Animal Well, Little Kitty Big City and our full thoughts on Funko Fusion (and its depiction of The Thing) and Batman: Arkham Shadow in VR. Then we answer questions submitted on Patreon by the community and award the iam8bit question of the week!
