Let's Talk Plus Weekly Giveaway: https://linktr.ee/mysticryan

This week we have a lot of big stories from Microsoft because not only is Halo coming to PS5, but the future of the franchise is as well. All the while, the Head of XGS is saying consoles aren't the main competition anymore. They're competing with Tik Tok and movies instead. Hmmm, sounds familiar. This week we also had a new China Hero Project game announced with Loulan: The Cursed Sand! And it looks REALLY good. Then there's the leaked screenshots for the cancelled God of War live service game, words about Bend Studios cancelled game, a new PS Portal feature, and the PS5 Power Saver mode now fully analyzed by the DF crew. Also, 30 Platinums Part 4 finished filming today!!! I am deprived of sleep. Thank you and gesundheit.
