This week we cover the various controversies, from the BF 2042 beta, to Farcry 6 and Destiny 2 vaulting even more content. With Halo's interest seemingly eclipsing that of Call Of Duty and Battlefield, it seemed timely to have the conversation of how well we think Halo will do comparatively.  There are also forge leaks that indicate a full scripting system and a new game mode which includes limited lives, reviving and a closing death ring.  There is even more new Xbox swag in the form of Adidas shoes and 20th-anniversary limited edition controllers and headsets.  We also have a usual first party, party. This time we discuss the genre of Compulsions mystery game and that Machine games are working on an unannounced title.

The majority of this weeks episode is about our enjoyment of the Playstation showcase, some good and some bad! WOLVERINE! You also get to listen to live, jittery, excitement about Redfall leaks that describe this Arkane Xbox exclusive as a Breath Of The Wild style co-op immersive sim with looter shooter elements; which is an absolute dream come true for us. As I type this Deathloop reviews have been coming in which further solidify Arkane as one of the best in the industry, pouring more fuel on our excitement fire.
