[DISCLAIMER: We recorded this in May but things got in the way for me to upload and continue the podcast, but with a summer break we're back swinging!] In a much awaited episode of The Wonderer's Podcast, the wonderers talk all things new and old within the videogame industry. In slightly older videogame news, the Company behind the card series, Magic: The Gathering, called Wizards of the Coast called Pinkertons on a Youtuber. The Youtuber in question was Oldschoolmtg who unveiled cards unreleased to the audience. In return, WotC decided to hire the Pinkerton Agency to raid the youtuber's house.
In more recent news, a new iteration of Mortal Kombat was just announced. Titled as "Mortal Kombat 1", the game is a sequel and also a "prequel" to the series. The wonderers talk about the confirmed line-up that has been announced so far, with most of the iconic characters coming back such as Liu Kang, Shang Tsung, Sub-Zero, and so on. With the a new game such at this, Retro than asks the question that will most likely come to every MK fan's head: What will the guest characters be? After, the Wonderers moved beyond the gore-fest that is Mortal Kombat to something more eerie. A new game in development, titled as "Unrecorded", was announced to very mixed opinions. The footage was "too-real" according to some, so Jared and Retro wondered what the buzz was all about.
Browsing along, Microsoft also released an announcement that there will be no more announcements (silly, huh?) in regards to the Windows 10 operating system. With the new releases out for the public to purchase, Retro talks about his time playing the recently released sequel to Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order titled: Star Wars Jedi: Survivor and how he liked it. Afterwards, Jared talked about his time playing Legend of Zelda: Tears of a Kingdom, the newest iteration of the established franchise by Nintendo. The Wonderers then mentioned everything going on with Blizzard. Microsoft's acquisition of Activision Blizzard was blocked by regulators in the United Kingdom. On top of that, Blizzard announced the long awaited PvE mode with the inclusion of skill trees for characters has been scrapped after teasing it since the Overwatch 2's launch. Lastly, Jared and Retro topped off the episode on talking about their favorite sequel in games and film.
