Should be an epic "sequel" to Ghost of Tsushima.

EB Games to return after GameStop Canada acquisition

This seems like good news. EB Games was the best.

Microsoft is laying off as many as 9,000 employees

Microsoft has never been good at running game studios, which is a problem when it owns them all

Lots of casualties in all this. Very unfortunate news.

Coming to PlayStation.

Finally got into Ghost of Yotei this week (was on vacation when it arrived). Much like its predecessor, it's quite an immersive experience. This one's way more gritty so far, and I love the setting (17th Century Tokugawa Japan).

If you enjoyed Ghost of Tsushima, this "sequel" will not disappoint!
