The biggest gaming news of the week: July 15, 2022

Assassin’s Creed, Madden NFL 23, and Red Dead Online dominated the headlines.

It’s hard to believe we’re already halfway through July. Seriously, what is it with the passage of time not respecting our boundaries? At least video games are a decent distraction from the never-ending free fall towards old age.

There were plenty of bizarre minor stories this week within the games industry. Facebook wants everyone to play along with The Walking Dead: Last Mile like it’s 2010. Meanwhile, someone beat Elden Ring with a piano because why not. Nothing raised eyebrows quite like that wild Starfield release date theory. It’s almost like the summer heat is driving everyone bananas.

Enough with the honorable mentions, though. Let’s recap the biggest gaming news items from the past week.
