🎮 Welcome back to the Press Start Podcast! In this week's episode, we dive into a fresh batch of gaming news and industry updates you won't want to miss!

🚨 We kick things off by discussing Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 and what fans can expect from the movement system this time around—will it lean into realism or go full arcade again?

🟩 Over on the Xbox front, there's a lot to cover: the reveal of the ASUS Xbox Ally, a sleek new handheld gaming device, plus their partnership with AMD that could power their next-gen ambitions. And if that wasn’t enough, Xbox might be cooking up a Meta Quest 3S collaboration—VR gaming could be getting a major upgrade!

🅿️ On the PlayStation side, things are a little quieter… or maybe just slower. Marathon has officially been delayed, and we unpack what that means for Sony’s future lineup and live-service strategy.

👻 Finally, Konami has officially announced a Silent Hill 1 Remake! We share our thoughts on the reveal, what we want from the remake, and how it stacks up against all the other horror revivals we've seen.
