On this episode of Video Games 2 the MAX hosts Sean Garmer and Marc Morrison discuss when Sony could show off something game-related for PlayStation 5 and what remains of 2020 for the company. As well as the PS Plus titles for June 2020 and the Xbox Games For Gold too.

Blizzcon is the latest convention canceled over COVID-19 concerns. Marc wonders if that’s secretly a good thing for the company in the long run now that they won’t even have a digital event until some time in 2021.

Also, Sean breaks down some of the announcements from the Wholesome Direct. While the guys also talk about if Assassin’s Creed Valhalla’s world is going to be too big. Marc also has thoughts on why Ubisoft should have just chosen one gender for the game and stuck to it. The debate is feisty for this one.

Finally, the duo discusses their favorite open worlds to explore in gaming.
