W


ishing you a fantastic, incredible,
ultimate Christmas! While you wait
for Santa to Solid Snake down your
chimney, there’s time to get excited for what
you’ll be playing this time next year: your new

and on p54 we gather the hard facts and a
healthy amount of guesswork to ponder the
50 reasons to be excited for PlayStation 5.
Closer to release, this issue’s cover game
lands with a kapow! With questions swirling
around how Marvel’s Avengers will play, we
go hands-on with every hero, dissect the
game’s upgrade system, and reveal why this
will be one of 2020’s best games. It’s going
to embiggen your expections.
