Dunkey collided with Sonic Frontiers fans earlier this week after one of his videos likely instigated review bombers to try and tank the game’s user score.

Overwatch 2 has a lot to prove after its disastrous launch

Overwatch 2 has launched but not many people have gotten to play it because the servers are very crowded due to multiple DDOS attacks.

CoD: Advanced Warfare 2 could be in the works, The Witcher 4 is at least 3 years from release, Dead Space is going to be $70, and Need for Speed has a wild new art style.

Overwatch 2 will soon be upon us but it already seems like there are going to be some growing pains. Blizzard’s beloved team shooter Overwatch is going Free-to-Play which is bringing along a number of concerns around the franchise's history with toxic players, cheaters, and grinding.

Get the scoop in today’s Roundup! In other news; an accused GTA 6 leaker has been charged, Skull and Bones is delayed again, EA unveils a new monster hunting game, and Edgerunners boosts Cyberpunk 2077’s sales.

In this week’s 5-Second Review Brian pays homage to one of the greatest RPGs of all time and the Coming Soon section is short but No Man’s Sky and Neir: Automata are on their way for Switch. Of course, Overwatch 2 is also out this week.

Not sure who reads these descriptions so hopefully, it’s not a spoiler to mention Brian’s farewell message at the end of this week’s Roundup. Brian has been a stellar part of Inside Gaming for many years and we are beyond sad to see him go. We wish the best for him in whatever’s next.

Please be patient as we adjust in the coming weeks. Roundup will continue on at its regularly scheduled time and weekday videos will come as fast and as often as we can produce them.

Feel free to share a fond farewell or favorite Brian memory in the comments below. Thanks for watching everyone and for your continued support. 

00:00 - Overwatch 2 will be a grind for new players
05:40 - Accused GTA 6 leaker charged

Overwatch 2 will be a grind for new players

Wild Hearts is the name of the new EA Original Title being developed by Koei Tecmo’s Omega Force and it looks to be very similar to Capcom’s Monster Hunter games.

However, Monster Hunter has iterated on its premise over many years growing an organic and loyal fan base which begs the question… Can Wild Hearts add something new to the genre or will it be left in the dust after the next major Monster Hunter release?
