One Piece Odyssey Impressions, 343 Industries Suffers Big Layoffs - VG2M # 335

2023 in gaming has officially begun with some major releases, One Piece Odyssey, and some smaller ones, including Space for the Unbound. Sean has some significant impressions of both titles. Unfortunately, the big tech layoffs have hit Xbox and Bethesda, especially for many at 343 Industries, which has put the future of the Halo franchise in doubt. Marc wonders if this is more of the same bad news for Microsoft, especially when paired with the news that Google and NVIDIA have also voiced concerns over the Activision-Blizzard deal too. Could this make it even tougher for the big purchase to go through? The only thing that seemed to go right in video game-related things was the NPD sales for the year and The Last of Us HBO show premiere. Aside from thoughts on the first episode, there are also discussions on Callisto Protocol's low sales, Ubisoft's underperforming in a variety of areas, Square-Enix officially announcing the end of support for Marvel's Avengers, and much more.You can also watch this episode on video via the W2M Network Youtube channel.
