In this week’s M2 Podcast, we dive into the latest shakeups and innovations in gaming. We cover Hasbro’s closure of Atomic Arcade, the North Carolina studio behind a G.I. Joe title, and the ripple effects on employees and the franchise. We also explore creative ways to play classic games on modern devices, including a hands-on look at GameSir’s Pocket Taco, a $35 controller that transforms your phone into a Game Boy-inspired handheld. Finally, we unpack the huge PlayStation State of Play announcements, including a God of War side-scroller, a new Castlevania, John Wick and Legacy of Kain releases, and a host of upcoming titles across multiple genres. From studio closures to retro gaming innovations and blockbuster reveals, this episode has everything fans need to stay on top of the gaming world.
