It’s the end of an era as Overwatch director and public-facing creative lead Jeff Kaplan steps down from his position to move onto something new.

From the Overwatch League to Blizzcon announcements, and dev diaries Kaplan has certainly been a key figure in developing Overwatch as well as providing a face for fans to associate the development team with. It will be interesting to see what happens with Overwatch and Overwatch 2 from here. Farwell dude and best of luck on whatever's next.

In other news; Amazon has canceled their Lord of the Rings MMO as a result of licensing issues, rumors around a Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic remake were confirmed true by 'friend of the show' Jason Schreier, there are more rumors around the location of Grand Theft Auto 6, and CD Projekt Red made a lot of money from the sales of Cyberpunk 2077.

This week's 5-Second Review takes a serious twist and the Coming Soon section has at least two games you probably won’t want to miss. Thanks for watching and have a great weekend!
