·36 min·3 clips

This week had State of Unreal, State of Play, and the Switch 2 launch all at once—here's what you missed.

1. Split-Chicken's "O que Há de Novo S2E6" recaps the gaming week of June 9-15, covering the Nintendo Switch 2 launch, PlayStation State of Play, Summer Game Fest, and Xbox Showcase. 2. The episode is hosted solo, with the host recording while sick and acknowledging a compressed production timeline due to the volume of simultaneous events. 3. The episode's core thesis is that the gaming industry delivered an unusually dense news week, requiring the host to triage dozens of announcements. 4. MultiVersus servers shut down permanently, offering only offline mode, after Warner Brothers Games closed Player First Games production; X-Defiant by Ubisoft was also permanently disconnected with no offline option. 5. A Dragon Ball MOBA called Dragon Ball Gekishin Squadra was announced for PS5, PS4, Switch, PC, iOS, and Android as a free-to-play 4v4 game with damage, tank, and technical classes, with an open test from June 12-17. 6. CD Projekt Red showed a technical demo of The Witcher 4 at State of Unreal, running at 60 FPS on a PlayStation 5 base, featuring protagonist Ciri, her horse Kelpie, the Kovir region, and the city of Valdrest using Unreal Engine 5.6. 7. Tango Gameworks, closed by Microsoft in May 2024 despite making Hi-Fi Rush, was acquired by Krafton in August 2024, has reopened its Tokyo office, and is hiring for a new action game with creative director John Johannes still attached. 8. More than 100 Nintendo Switch 2 consoles at a GameStop in Staten Island were damaged on launch day when employees engraved receipt information onto boxes, piercing the screen through thin cardboard and plastic packaging. 9. PlayStation's State of Play included roughly 30 games; highlights included Pragmata by Capcom (first trailer since June 2020), Silent Hill F set in Japan with release September 25, and Bloodstained: The Scarlet Engagement by Koji Igarashi for 2026. 10. Final Fantasy Tactics by Avalanche Chronicles — a remaster combining the 1997 original with an improved version — was announced for September 30, along with Nioh 3 with a playable demo on the day of announcement. 11. The State of Play's declared highlight was Marvel Toku Fighting Souls, a 4v4 fighting game from Arc System Works (Dragon Ball FighterZ, Guilty Gear) and PlayStation Studios, featuring an anime/manga aesthetic rather than comic-book art style. 12. Summer Game Fest highlights included Resident Evil Requiem, the ninth main series entry featuring new heroine Grace Ashcroft in a devastated Raccoon City, set for February 27, 2026. 13. Yakuza studio Ryo Ga Gotoku officially revealed Stranger Than Heaven (previously Project Century), now set in 1943 Osaka during militarized imperial Japan, without a release date. 14. Scott Pilgrim EX was announced from Tribute Games (TMNT: Shredder's Revenge) with original creator Brian Lee O'Malley, band Anamanaguchi, and Pixel Art artist Ben David Grabinski, targeting 2026. 15. New releases covered include Dune Awakening (June 10, open world survival on Arrakis for Xbox Series/PS5/PC), Mind's Eye (June 10, narrative action starring Jacob Diaz), and The Altars (June 13, survival-building with existential branching through alternate-self clones). 16. Five Nights at Freddy's: Secret of the Mimic, a first-person horror set in the abandoned Murray mansion, launches June 13 on PS5 and PC featuring the Mimic endoskeleton prototype. 17. The episode is delivered as an upbeat solo monologue with self-deprecating humor, rapid-fire game summaries, and conversational asides; the host admits to not covering everything due to time constraints. 18. The tone is light and irreverent, with the host making jokes about Dragon Ball's history of failed experimental titles and the absurdity of GameStop's screen-engraving incident. 19. Fans of Portuguese-language gaming news who want a curated, personality-driven weekly roundup would get significant value from this episode. 20. Listeners seeking in-depth analysis, impressions, or reviews of individual games rather than a news digest will likely find this episode too surface-level.
