Join James, Dann, and Matthew as the scroll through the digital pages of history, along with the return a familiar voice from Pocket Gamer's own past.

Hello, is this thing still on? Oh, it is? As a wise Chad once said, it's been a while. But now we're back, and we should (!) be here to stay.

This is the show we recorded the week before episode 498.

But cut we did, and here it is. In the show, James and Matthew cover the Stadia pre-launch, the upcoming Ni No Kuni mobile tie-in, and the Sonic movie redesign. There's also new releases chat featuring Pokemon Sword and Shield, Battle Breakers, and Mosaic.
