Manage episode 381115122 series 3262288
In our latest podcast episode, we delve into the gaming world's major updates and changes. We start with the surprise launch of "Ark: Survival Ascended," the Unreal Engine 5 remake of "Ark: Survival Evolved." Then, we discuss Media Molecule's downsizing and shift to a new project, leaving Dreams behind. Microsoft's acquisition of Activision Blizzard is a focal point as we explore CEO Satya Nadella's excitement about the gaming industry and the company's historical connection to it. Ubisoft's elusive "Skull and Bones" game faces another ambiguous delay, and we round off with Sony's revamped PS5, with a notable requirement for an internet connection to use the optical drive, and Microsoft's reorganization of Xbox gaming and marketing leadership following the Activision Blizzard acquisition. Tune in to stay up to date with the latest in the gaming world!
