The AWOI Gaming Crew is back to give you all the gaming news this week with another freestyle mode on a Friday night!   Sony  announced the Playstation 5 Pro slated to release later this year with an outrageous price of $700 dollars at launch. Gamers have seem to  rejected the Playstation 5 Pro as it doesn’t add enough new features, along with being overly priced and its poor presentation left a sour taste in gamer’s mouths.  The crew talks in depth about the overall effects of the Pro as prices are significantly higher overseas.  Sony has also removed Concord from players accounts after a disastrous  launch. Friend of the show Damian Hedges gives his  first impressions for the hit new game Warhammer 40K Space Marine 2. An Update on this years AWOI Gaming Fantasy Draft shows for a close finish for the number one spot.  Microsoft has laid off another 650 employers, leading many to believe the company  is  struggling to produce games after acquiring Activision/ Blizzard. Minecraft trailer discussion and the failure of the Borderlands movie.  DND talk and Ravensburgers new hit trading card game Lorcana! And More
