MinnMax's Ben Hanson, Kyle Hilliard, Janet Garcia, and Haley MacLean are joined by the new Guest Cohort (surprise!) for a month Alanah Pearce! Her journey through IGN, Funhaus, Sony Santa Monica, and the narrative on her new game Layers Deep has made her incredibly insightful on the game industry and we're honored to have her join us on content for the next month. On this big episode, we break down the reveal for the Nintendo Switch 2 and unpack the current state of Ubisoft and how Tencent might lead to some radical changes at the publisher behind Assassin's Creed Shadows. Then we answer some wonderful questions submitted on Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/minnmax
