Hello everyone and welcome to this special edition of
These are coming at you today because it's the weekend, I'm tired, and frankly I just do not want to create individual news posts for all of this. I'd like to play more than the first level of Halo Infinite at some point.
The Game Awards had a lot of new trailer reveals beyond the ones that I have put up over the past couple of days already. Unfortunately for me, there are still a ton of trailers and a few pieces of news that I just did not get to yet. Those can all be found below. Even with this, I'll still probably have ended up missing something. You can forgive me, right? ... Right?!
• A new trailer for Destiny 2: The Witch Queen expansion was shown off. Looks like we're headed back to Mars come February 2022.
