On this week’s episode of Podcast Beyond!, host Jonathon Dornbush is joined by Mark Medina (and later Jada Griffin) to dig into the PlayStation State of Play of March 2022 on Beyond episode 740.
While Jada joins us later in the show to discuss her excitement over what was shown, Mark and Jonathon kick off the podcast by discussing the surprise announcement of Returnal’s 3.0 update coming later this month, and why we’re excited to revisit Atropos with Returnal co-op. We also dig into some of the Square Enix games included in the show, like Forspoken, Valkyrie Elysium, and The DioField Chronicle. Plus, Jada joins us to discuss her excitement for JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: All Star Battle R, the TMNT collection called Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Cowabunga Collection, and more.
Plus, the gang covers some of the other recent PlayStation news, like Forspoken’s new release date, Gotham Knights’ October release date, God of War’s potential TV show, an expanded lawsuit against PlayStation, and Sony’s response to donate aid to Ukraine and cutting off of game sales in Russia.
