The Biggest Gaming News For April 27, 2022
We're half way through the work week and we have plenty of Pokemon news to bring you today, including details on Pokemon Go Fest 2022 and the Pokemon subreddit arguing about which Pokemon is the least hated in the series.
Outside of Pokemon, we've also got stories about Twitch's potential changes to its partner program and the reveal of the long-awaited sequel of James Cameron's Avatar. You'll find more details on these stories and more if you read on.
We'll start off with the movie news and Disney is finally delivering on those Avatar sequels we keep hearing about. Titled Avatar: The Way of Water, the long-awaited sequel to the original movie will release in theatres on December 14 for most people later this year. Those in North America will have to dodge spoilers for a couple of days before they can watch on December 16. A trailer for the movie will first be aired during screenings of the upcoming Doctor Strange movie next month, then uploaded online a week later.
