The past few weeks have been full of major world events, new games, and a lot more. All the noise makes it difficult to sit down and enjoy games, especially as conflicts heat up around the world. With that in mind, sit back and enjoy The Best War Games Arcade's longest episode yet.
First up, Pokemon Scarlet and Violet have been announced, bringing the next iteration of the franchise to the forefront of Nintendo's game lineup. Pokemon Legends Arceus released less than a month ago, but it seems that the new games will return to a more traditional format. That hasn't been confirmed yet, but a blog post has indicated that's the case.
Next up, the design of the PSVR2 has been revealed, showing off the revised version of PlayStation's headset. The new virtual reality device is designed with comfort in mind – more so than the last one, anyway. There are still so major questions to be answered, but at the very least it seems to be down to just one cable.
In other PlayStation news, Project Spartacus is rumored to be launching soon at a three-tiered price offering. The service will likely be PlayStation's response to Xbox Game Pass, though details are still slim. It's certainly something fans need to see from PlayStation eventually, but whether or not the company will deliver is still a major question.
Finally, Fallout New Vegas 2 is reportedly in early talks, but fans shouldn't expect to hear anything soon. It's still firmly a rumor, but it could mean that Obsidian gets to make the sequel that many fans have been waiting for for over a decade.
