In this week’s episode of The Game Informer Show, the crew discusses our Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League preview (we played several hours at a recent event), our very highly-rated Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown review, and we circle back to our video game release calendar to highlight the 2024 games we’re most excited for that don’t have solid release dates…

“Unfortunately Piko Interactive did not extend their license”.
