Biggest Video Game News Of The Week (April 23 - 29)

thegamer.com:

PlayStation's new subscription service, the Mario movie, and Halo Infinite's second season are all getting closer by the day. That's why even though those things are weeks, months, and in one case still almost a full year away, all three of them have developed in some way over the course of the past seven days.

There's also more Sonic news this week as the blue blur's big screen sequel continues to break records. More on that and all the other biggest stories from the past week below.

PS Plus and PS Now will be merged this June - or May for those of you living in Asia - into a new three-tier system. PlayStation had already revealed when the service will be rolled out around the world, and this week more details were confirmed by Sony. Most notably that the Extra and Premium tiers will get new PS4 and PS5 titles every month, while other games will leave the service akin to Game Pass. A loophole was also discovered that potentially opened the door to those with both Now and Plus already stacked up to get Premium a lot cheaper for a long time, but Sony has already slammed that window shut.

Bad news, everybody. The star-studded Mario movie that was supposed to be here before the end of 2022 has had its release date pushed back. Nintendo revealed the Chris Pratt-led movie will now not be here until 2023, giving us all a little longer to wonder what the hell Mario is going to sound like in this reimagined Mushroom Kingdom. According to a leak that came after the news of its delay, both Mario and Charlie Day's Luigi will have Brooklyn accents and will be performing musical numbers. All of a sudden 2023 can't get here quickly enough, am I right?
