GI Show – Black Ops 4, New BioShock, GI Internships
Welcome back to The Game Informer Show! We're trying something a bit different on this week's podcast because there's a lot of interesting gaming news stories to break down. Ben Hanson is joined by Jeff Cork, Andrew Reiner, and Imran Khan to talk about Yakuza 6's release and what it's like to hunt Ewoks in Battlefront II before we break out a high-tech random-news generator to go through the rest. We cover the huge news of Call of Duty potentially removing the single-player component of Black Ops 4, PlayStation 5 rumors, and what we'd want from a rumored new BioShock game in development. After some great community emails, we're joined by Game Informer's outgoing interns Robbie Key, Joey Thurmond, and Jon Bowman to talk about their time in the office.

I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
