The 2021 Impy Awards, Ratchet & Clank Release Date & Last of Us Casting News

The 2021 Impy Awards took place early Monday morning and celebrated the best that Dreams had to offer over the last year. We break down all the winners before going over each of the 7 games nominated for ‘Creation of the Year’ in finer detail. In all, it’s a massive episode focused on Media Molecules Dreams and will give you a million reasons you should be playing Dreams if you’re not already.

Also this week: Ratchet & Clank has received a June release date, DualSense controllers are getting drift (oh no), scalpers are complaining about being called name (oh no) and HBO’s The Last of Us cast its Joel and Ellie.
