Annual Releases: A yearly event

Video Games

Elliot, Luke, Edie & Bree chat about the yearly event of annual releases.

Some games have made a name for themselves by churning out a new game every year, but are annual releases worth it? From sports titles that do minimal updates with each game but continue to make sales to popular shooters that pass backward and forwards between two development studios to allow more time to experiment. Even some games needed to leave the format as it was detrimental to their brand, so does it ever work?

Don’t miss any of the action and don’t forget to check out the first half of this podcast to keep up to date!

Giving a 1-UP to diversity in gaming.
