No listener questions this time around, but let's jump into the news. Studios like Tango Gameworks and Arkane Austin, along with others within Bethesda, are facing layoffs. Helldivers 2 faced a review bombing on Steam due to a PSN requirement imposed by Sony, but after retracting the requirement, the game received over 200k positive reviews and even released a cape commemorating the incident. Media Molecule's co-founder hints that their new project is more game-oriented than a tool. Hades 2 is in early access, impressing players with significant improvements over its predecessor. Unfortunately, Warhammer 40K 2's PvP multiplayer hasn't been confirmed yet, but leaks suggest exciting developments. X Defiant, developed by Ubisoft, is set to release this month.
In a disappointing turn, Deliver Us Mars developer Keoken Interactive had to lay off their entire team due to a lack of publishing options. PS Plus Essentials games include titles like EA Sports FC 24, Ghostrunner 2, Tunic, and Destiny 2: Lightfall. Plus, Returnal: Fallen Asteria TPB comic is set for release on October 23, 2024.

Now onto the news: EA's got some updates on that Iron Man game we've all been waiting for. Looks like it's still in the works, but we'll have to wait a bit longer. Hold onto your lightsabers, folks! Star Wars Outlaws just dropped a new story trailer and a release date for August 30, 2024, exclusively for PS5.
