Resident Evil returned to true horror, Nier brought us along on a weird ride, Cuphead frustrated us in the most beautiful way.

Continuing the tradition from the legacy Mashcast, we present the 2018 State of the Gaming Union where we take a look back at what happened in 2017 and how it might impact us in 2018 and beyond.

EVO 2017, Arms becoming competitive, Injustice 2 patch notes, Sub Zero Returns July 11th, Rouge picks up Slayer, EchoFox grabs Theo, Tempo Storm invest in Alex Myers, Rise Nation gets the Mayor Smug of Duff City.

Nick and Katie wish Anduin, Sylvanas, Jaina, and others a Happy 2017 (but not Genn. Never Genn).

The WPR team talks about the Year in Review video, the state of balance in Overwatch, expectations for 2017, and more in our final show for 2016.
