We discuss everything show during ‘Square Enix Presents,’ with the highlight being the reveal of a brand new Life is Strange game. It’s being developed by Deck Nine Games, the team behind Life is Strange: Before The Storm. Which, by the way, is getting released alongside the original game in a remastered package. Exciting!

This week we also talk about Sony buying Evo and what that means for the fighting game esports world. Plus Disco Elysium: The Final Cut has been refused classification in Australia. It’s ridiculous, it’s stupid, it’s a sign of how out-dated the classification system, but we sure hope it’s rectified.
