This Week In Video Games: Destiny Is Dumping Peter Dinklage And Witcher 4 Is Far Away

Gamescom 2015, Europe's answer to E3, has come and gone. Thanks to the convention, we now know what Scalebound is and when we can expect Final Fantasy 15. Summer is usually lousy for those of us covering gaming news so the barrage of announcements from Germany is always appreciated. Now we'll twiddle our thumbs until PAX Prime later this month.

If you were off at the beach this week, we're jealous. Also, here's what you missed from the past few days in gaming:

Quote Of The Week

"We really do get the feeling that people are a bit worried. Certainly, one thing I would like to say to them to reassure them, is that we've set down the release date, we know when it is, and we've got a complete road map lined up, right up to launch, and we're proceeding along that as planned. We can certainly say to people: it's not going to be 2017. It's going to be before that." - Final Fantasy 15 director Hajime Tabata, speaking about the game's mysterious release date.
