The biggest gaming news of the week: July 1, 2022

John Cena, Metroid re-releases, and Final Fantasy rickrolls were all over the headlines.

That’s not to say there weren’t some cool headlines this week. Steven Spielberg apparently loves gaming, which should come as no surprise after watching Minority Report. Celebrities are human too; who knew! Too bad he’s not still working on the Halo TV series. Speaking of that, Halo Infinite is finally getting co-op. Well, beta testing begins soon anyway – one that’s coming eight months after launch. Not exactly the timeliest addition, eh?
