AJS News - Minecraft Sequel GREEN LIT, Discord LEAKS, Civil War AC CANCELLED, Arc Raiders Price

Quick Overview

The Angry Joe Show team discussed several gaming news items, including the greenlighting of a Minecraft movie sequel set for July 2027, a reported cancellation of a Civil War-themed Assassin's Creed game due to political backlash, a Discord ID photo leak affecting 70,000 users, Ark: Survival Ascended lowering its price in some regions, and the ongoing success of Destiny 2 and its high player counts despite perceived developer issues, all while providing their commentary on these topics.

Key Points: A sequel to the Minecraft movie, titled 'Minecraft 2', is officially greenlit with a scheduled release date of July 23rd, 2027. Ubisoft reportedly cancelled an Assassin's Creed game set during the American Civil War due to backlash over the protagonist, Yasuke, and political turmoil. A security breach resulted in the potential leak of ID photos for 70,000 Discord users, prompting concern especially in the UK. Ark: Survival Ascended lowered its price in several regions (including US, Canada, Australia, etc.) to ensure a fairer price point, reportedly due to negative recent reviews. Destiny 2's player counts remain high (hitting 47,851 concurrent players), though the hosts note that the game still has negative recent reviews. The hosts expressed enthusiasm for the upcoming game 'Echoes of the Fallen' (a role-playing tactical adventure) and a perceived improvement in the state of Destiny 2's development. The segment concluded with a brief mention of the Steam chart, noting that PUBG remains at the top despite low recent review scores.
