Halo Returns, Arc Raiders Rises, and Ubisoft Restructures S6E39

from M2 Podcast · host M2 Podcast

This week on the M2 Podcast, we explore major shifts and surprises across the gaming world. Halo: Campaign Evolved is making its long-awaited return with a full Unreal Engine 5 remake — complete with reimagined visuals, modernized gameplay, and even a debut on PlayStation 5. We then dive into Arc Raiders, a new extraction shooter that breaks the genre’s grim formula by focusing on fun and creative chaos instead of frustration and loss. Meanwhile, Amazon is stepping away from the MMO market, halting development on New World: Aeternum amid sweeping layoffs and pivoting toward smaller-scale party games. And finally, Ubisoft is back in the headlines with more layoffs and buyouts as Massive Entertainment refocuses on The Division series, leaving the future of Star Wars and Avatar uncertain.0:00 Intro 1:27 Updates26:35 Halo: Campaign Evolved https://tinyurl.com/3eh6fp3k 53:24 Arc Raiders is an Extraction Shooter That Actually Wants You to Have Fun https://tinyurl.com/f7f64xhx 1:05:17 Amazon is ditching MMOs https://tinyurl.com/458vcuev 1:17:00 Ubisoft is laying off more workers and offering voluntary buyouts https://tinyurl.com/59vk5kvx 1:26:22 OutroLeave a LIKE and a comment, thanks for watching/listening!-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------PODCAST ►► https://anchor.fm/m2podcastAMAZON Music ► https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/091902c3-b83b-487c-8fe7-4c96787434fe/M2-PodcastAPPLE ► https://podcasts.apple.com/podcast/id1531832410BREAKER ► https://www.breaker.audio/m2-podcast-2CASTRO ► https://castro.fm/podcast/6f69d373-d879-46d9-9f1c-bcf7c4bf1741GOOGLE ► https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9hbmNob3IuZm0vcy8zNTYwNWZiMC9wb2RjYXN0L3Jzcw==OVERCAST ► https://overcast.fm/itunes1531832410/m2-podcastPOCKETCASTS ► https://pca.st/5jghvf6eRADIOPUBLIC ► https://radiopublic.com/m2-podcast-GMZkY4SPOTIFY ► https://open.spotify.com/show/2VedhO03IRoHERJqF6Sy87STICHER ► https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/m2-podcastTUNEIN ► http://tun.in/pj3ZI #podcastJOIN THE DISCORD! ►► https://discord.gg/Kp5Gre6FOLLOW THE TWITTER! ►►https://twitter.com/m2_podcastKyleHeath Socials:TWITTER ►► https://twitter.com/mrjkheathMadMikeWillEatU Socials:TWITTER ►► https://twitter.com/madmikewilleatu
