Hosts Ryan and Adonis begin the week by hopping on the GoW Ragnarok hype train with the recent release date reveal from Santa Monica Studios, coupled with a brand new cinematic trailer featuring Kratos and Boy. As we all know, it wouldn't be a true KongaCast episode without a discussion regarding new Switch hardware rumors. This time, an anonymous source that correctly predicted the Splatoon OLED model states that there will be a new Switch revealed in just a couple months. Only time will tell if the memes will finally be put to rest this September. Adonis and Ryan then backtrack a bit to June and talk about some pros and cons of the Pokémon Scarlett and Violet trailer.

To wrap up the news this week, they break down the leak exposing Nintendo's massive two-fold increase in raw material spending and how it (of course) could mean new hardware in the works. As always, this weeks episode comes to a close as Ryan and Adonis have a chat about what they've been playing this week, which includes a fun but tragic story from Ryan.

Ryan and Adonis spend a while breaking down the trailer and gushing about Playdead's creativity across their previous games, as well as listing some things they can't wait to see after release.
