The War Within, Black Myth Wukong and Splitgate 2

We review the start to the World Saga called “World of Warcraft The War Within.” Is it a huge step forward for the MMO? No. Is it fun to play? Sure is! We also share our first impressions of Black Myth Wukong. It’s hard. But it looks amazing and apparently inspired Dragon-Ball Z! Brett gets into the alpha of Splitgate 2 and it’s ready for primetime even though it’s not coming out until 2025. We can’t wait to play this!

Gamescom Opening Night Live took place in Cologne, Germany and had some fun surprises for us. We got Borderlands 4 announced, a new show called Secret Level featuring some of our favorite franchises and the reveal of Mafia: The Old Country.

We went to the United States only virtual reality eSports arena called EVA. This place is in Flower Mound and we went for a party. The experience was fantastic! Up to 10 people can play in a 5400 square foot arena with HTC headsets. It was super immersive both with the Zombie game and the team-based arena shooter.

Finally, Concord is having a rough launch. Player count is low on Steam but we’re still going to give it a try. That being said, we talk about some of what could’ve kept people from buying the game, what the roadmap looks like and will it stay alive?
