Following on from part one's release yesterday, part two of our retrospective look back at 2021 takes a look back at the second half of the year, including the breaking of the biggest story of the year with Activision Blizzard embroiled in serious allegations of toxic misconduct, sexism and a lot more within the latter.

And it gets worse for the company over the course of the year before the bombshell report by the Wall St Journal that sees Activision Blizzard chairman and CEO Bobby Kotick pointed at for allegations against him as well as Activision. A story that continues to roll on and one that, despite numerous calls for his resignation, has not forced Kotick from the company as of this episode going out.

The second half of the year was also jampacked with numerous showcases, including big ones from Sony and Nintendo as well as The Game Awards and massive releases including Deathloop, The Artful Escape, Forza Horizon 5, Halo Infinite and a lot more.
