Dotemu and Tribute Games also made headlines with their reveal of Marvel Cosmic Invasion, while The First Berserker: Khazan left Keith seriously impressed. We reviewed Dark Deity 2 and even had an insightful interview with MASUMI. The episode also featured a deep dive into Assassin’s Creed Shadows, discussing its overall impact and how it runs on Nvidia GeForce Now.
We then examined what’s happening between Ubisoft and Tencent before shifting gears to the announcement of Trails Beyond the Horizon. The conversation got even more interesting as we debated whether publishers are afraid of Grand Theft Auto 6 and pondered the misinformation over the Xbox’s Steam integration disclosure.
