Get your popcorn ready because Cyberpunk 2077 releases this week to nearly a decade's worth of anticipation. Maybe that's why the game seems to be experiencing almost a decade's worth of drama in just a few days, including death threats, seizure triggers, and accusations of transphobia. We break down the headlines around the biggest title of 2020.
Game announcements come first, however, such as a fancy collector's edition for Hyper Light Drifter and the newly announced release window for Halo Infinite. Then it's on to headlines, like even more Billy Mitchell lawsuit news, Oscar Isaac's starring role in the Metal Gear Solid movie adaptation, Neil Druckman's promotion to co-president of Naughty Dog, and Nintendo's feud with the #FreeMelee movement involving both Smash Bros Melee and Splatoon 2 fans.
Finally, we end the show with a look back at DOOM on the game's 27th anniversary.
