Why V Rising’s success is unsurprising but deserved

Happy Friday and welcome to the seventh episode of news cast. This week is a particularly strong one, because some titles are currently being celebrated extremely strongly and of course we couldn’t miss them. Melanie, Alex, Benjamin and Ana talk about V Rising, Metal: Hellsinger and the already seventeenth (!) Season of Destiny 2! Of course, we discuss more topics.
