The biggest gaming news of the week: August 19, 2022

Labor complaints against Nintendo, Fallout TV show leaks, and Dragon Ball taking over Fortnite were among the big headlines.

It’s time to reflect on the silliness of video games, folks. Once again, we must begrudgingly accept that Breath of the Wild 2 isn’t coming out in 2022 anymore. It’s quite a burden to bear.

Unlike last week, there was a steady stream of fun announcements over the past few days. Wave Race 64 is returning after years of being nothing but a distant memory, and Saints Row is arriving soon after. Meanwhile, we got teases for Redfall and The Last of Us Part 1 — both of which are excellent examples of how beautiful current-generation console games can be.

As a reminder, some QuakeCon freebies are up for grabs, courtesy of Epic and Game Pass. So hop on those while offers still stand!

Ok, that’s the honorable mentions down. Let’s roll our sleeves and get into the week’s biggest headlines.
