This week’s gaming news features a whole lot of anticipation, whether it’s for the Game Awards or Fortnite’s next hunger for Season 5. Game Rant has compiled some of the biggest gaming news stories from this past week together into a concise post for fans and enthusiasts to stay up to date on the most important events in the industry per week. Highlighting the most relevant stories, this list is not inherently and totally objective, and will not contain every news story this week.

In this week’s roundup of gaming news, Fortnite kicks off its next season after the defeat of Galactus. Persona 5 Strikers’ localization trailer leaks, on the back of perhaps even more exciting news for Persona fans.
