Reforge Gaming

The gaming news this week started to heat up near the end with the future of Destiny the game and Destiny 2 discussed by Hiroki Totoki and it looks like a Bungie PlayStation takeover, but also rumors about future Xbox hardware, the PS5 Pro, and Helldivers 2 nerf backlash.

Star Wars Jedi Survivor has been confirmed by EA to be coming to the PS4 and Xbox One consoles after initially skipping them on its launch. The state the game is still in on PC and current-gen consoles is embarrassing so I can't see this as anything more than a cash grab.

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is a 2023 action-adventure game developed by Respawn Entertainment and published by Electronic Arts.

Just a week ago I sat down with Kirk from @whatsnewvideogames and discussed game delays, and he really pushed to see Avowed delayed in the wake of the Stalker 2 delay. Well the Xbox roadmap is really full for the end of gaming in 2024, and now Xbox in 2025 is looking even stronger. But will we see more Xbox delays?

Avowed is an upcoming action role-playing game developed by Obsidian Entertainment and published by Xbox Game Studios. Avowed takes place in the same universe as Pillars of Eternity, in the world of Eora. The game is scheduled to be released on February 18, 2025, for Windows and Xbox Series X/S.

Destiny and Destiny 2 have always been both constants and sources of doubt for Bungie. This time feels very different. Sony/PlayStation seems to have stepped in, but we don't know what is happening behind closed doors. How will they save Destiny as a franchise? Can they save it? Here is how I would save Destiny.

Destiny 2 is a free-to-play online first-person shooter video game developed by Bungie. It was originally released as a pay to play game in 2017 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Windows.

Xbox continues to struggle with hardware and delays in this generation but is seeing service and software growth. The combination of the Activision deal and Game pass have set Xbox on a completely new path it would seem. Is it time for Xbox to abandon hardware?

The latest Destiny news has seen both Destiny 3 cancelled, more Bungie layoffs, and the future of Destiny 2 and the Destiny franchise in doubt. Sitting down with @30nsg and discussing what will happen now that Luke Smith and Mark Noseworthy are no longer at Bungie.

Bungie continues to struggle it seems as yet more layoffs have been announced. I can't help but see this as the beginning steps of a transition to Sony being in control of Bungie.

The Star Wars Outlaws previews are mixed which may cause some to hold off on pre-ordering. The latest Star Wars Outlaws gameplay looked bad and caused a lot of criticism to be made. I argued in a video recently that there is a clear Star Wars Outlaw downgrade that has happened.

Star Wars Outlaws is an upcoming action-adventure game developed by Massive Entertainment and published by Ubisoft.

Starfield continues to make headlines with a trademark filing for "Staborn". Many are assuming and rightfully so that this is just the second dlc or expansion for Starfield. I have an idea that it could lead to something more though what if this is the first step toward Starfield being an ongoing game or experience.

Starfield is a 2023 action role-playing game developed by Bethesda Game Studios and published by Bethesda Softworks. In the game, the player character joins a group of space explorers who must venture to various corners of the galaxy to acquire mysterious artifacts.

Sitting down with my man @30nsg to discuss if Star Wars Outlaws gameplay looks better. The latest Star Wars Outlaws leak showed gameplay that looked a bit better than the most recent Star Wars Outlaws trailer that hit IGN and other channels.
