Recent reports from credible news outlets show us nothing much of substance has changed at much-maligned development studios like Ubisoft and Scavengers Studio. Steve and Stephan discuss these reports as well as some leftover news stories from E3, new game releases and updates as well as a slew of Canadian demo impressions from ID@Xbox's Summer Fest event!

We break down all the E3 streams coming up we won't be able to watch so we'll make Stephan watch them afterwards to look for Canadian games. Then we introduce a new segment, new releases, and do all the usual paperwork, news, announcements and wishlists!

We played the Open Beta for upcoming Toronto-based Torn Banner Studios' Chivalry 2, a medieval fighting game. We talk about PlayStation's first Canadian PS5 PS+ game (something only Steve and I really care about), Backbone finally gets a release date years after Stephan first played the prologue on his decrepit laptop & more!

This week Steve and Stephan discuss our dear friend and patron Devon Wiersma's newly released Bombing!!: A Graffiti Sandbox, as well as an interesting new Kickstarter from an Ottawa studio of a card battler with a twist. We also discuss new releases, new games to wishlist and more!

The first-ever Edmonton Direct aired this past week showing off oodles of Edmonton-developed games! We take a look at the list, the Ubisoft Indie Series finalists, Sledgehammer's new Toronto studio & much more.
