PS5: Insomniac enlists Walt Williams, writer of BioShock, Borderlands and others
PS5
Insomniac continues its expansion with a very interesting acquisition, namely Walt Williams, a veteran of video game scriptwriting who in the past has worked on many great 2K productions such as BioShock, Borderlands and others.There is no it is still an official announcement but the author's tweet is quite explicit, with a photo of him hiding part of his face behind a tag that read Insomniac Games and the message "I may have done something", which seems to clearly indicate his entry into the team, now first party of Sony PlayStation Studios.
We do not yet know what Williams is called to work for, but his experience will certainly be useful for the company's new projects, considering the importance which also place in the narrative component. It could hardly have had anything to do with Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, as development on the game will likely be nearing completion, but it could be employed in some of the upcoming unannounced titles.
Among them, there could be a new chapter of Marvel's Spider-Man after Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales, considering the success of the series, but many are also hoping for the return of other Insomniac franchises as a possible Resistance 4.
Among the titles on which Williams has worked in the past as a screenwriter there are numerous 2K titles such as the aforementioned BioShock and Borderlands, but also Mafia, The Darkness and Spec Ops: The Line. Just a few days ago another major acquisition for Insomniac had emerged with the return of Drew Murray, who returned to the Sony team after starting The Initiative team at Microsoft Games Studios.

Here's a breakdown of the latest PS5 restock information from Walmart, GameStop, Target, PlayStation Direct, Amazon and more.
Amazon PS5 RestockThe PlayStation 5 remains unavailable at Amazon, whose limited restock last week quickly sold out.
Amazon's website lists both versions of the consoles as 'currently unavailable', along with a message indicating the retailer does not yet know when or if the PS5 will be back in stock.
Unlike other retailers, Amazon does not usually announce stock drops ahead of time, so it is worth following Twitter accounts such as @Wario64 and @GYXdeals, for insights on restocks.

Antonline PS5 RestockBoth versions of the PS5 are out of stock at Antonline, after the retailer's most recent restock sold out last week.
Antonline tends to reveal its restocks on Twitter and did so last week, so gamers are encouraged to monitor its social media channels. It is also worth noting, Antonline has previously committed to making a limited number of next-gen consoles available every week and so far has lived up to this promise.
