We also explore 1047 Games’ bold decision to abandon Splitgate and launch a scalable sequel, Splitgate 2, built on lessons learned from their initial success. Plus, we touch on Gamescom 2024 highlights and the future of gaming beyond 2025, along with the disappointing update on Concord and its shutdown after a rocky launch.
