There's been no information at all on “Shadow and Order,” despite its launch seemingly landing the same week as Marathon.Rumors suggest Marathon is an all-hands-on-deck effort at Bungie, raising concerns that the latest Destiny 2 update could be delayed as a result. Could a successful Marathon be the final nail in the coffin for Destiny 2? Will Bungie have enough staff to keep it going? And perhaps most importantly—do players even want it to continue?With so many unanswered questions, Corey and Josh also ask what all of this means for the future of Tower Casuals itself.

In this episode, Greg and Colan break down the surprising success of Hytale after its departure from Riot Games, the strategic restructuring at Ubisoft, and the evolving multi-platform future of Xbox. Colan provides a deep-dive "dissertation" on the three eras of Riot Games publishing and explains why the studio may be "trapped by its own success".Key Discussion Points1. The Hytale Miracle: From Cancellation to Chart-Topper The Buyback: After Riot Games effectively shuttered the project, the original founders bought back the rights and launched into Early Access. Market Dominance: Within its first weeks, Hytale ranked #4 in search and #9 on Twitch, commanding roughly 2.5% of the total gaming market. The China Factor: Colan highlights the massive "opportunity cost" for Riot/Tencent, noting that Hytale could have been a native competitor to Minecraft in a Chinese market with over 700 million accounts.2. The Evolution (and Stagnation) of Riot Games Publishing The Golden Era (2019-2020): Riot enjoyed a historic run with "heaters" like Valorant, Teamfight Tactics, and Legends of Runeterra. The "Trapped" Success: Colan argues that Riot is now bloated by the weight of its own success; the immense resources required to maintain massive live-service hits prevents them from taking bold risks on new IP. Riot Forge Lessons: Why Riot's attempt to release smaller "love letters" to the community failed to act as a funnel for new players.3. Ubisoft's Strategic Reset Cancellations & Restructuring: Ubisoft has canceled six games, including the Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time remake, while mandating a 5-day return-to-office policy. The Global Shift: An analysis of why game development is shifting from expensive hubs like California to subsidized regions like Riyadh.4. The Shooter Landscape: Highguard vs. Marathon Highguard's Attention Deficit: Despite viral memes, the game lacks measurable player attention, making it a high-risk launch in a genre dominated by Apex and Overwatch. The Case for Marathon: Colan remains "bullish" on Bungie's Marathon, predicting it will successfully claim a "bronze medal" spot in the extraction shooter hierarchy.Featured Quotes"Riot is first-in-class at maintaining live ecosystems, but that success becomes a weight. Why risk anything when you have a thing you can monetize forever?" — Colan NeeseResources & Links Colan's Newsletter: Subscribe to "Patch Notes" on Substack or LinkedIn for the full dissertation on Riot's publishing history.

We discuss the new trailer, gameplay direction, pricing, Standard and Deluxe Editions, and Marathon's stacked voice cast, plus whether extraction shooters like Marathon, Arc Raiders, and Tarkov could challenge Call of Duty's dominance. We also cover Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 becoming the most awarded Game of the Year winner of all time, surpassing Elden Ring, and what that means for future GOTY races. On the industry side, Ubisoft confirms a major company reset, cancelling six games including the Prince of Persia: Sands of Time remake, delaying seven projects, and closing two studios. Additional news includes Christopher Judge reacting to Ryan Hurst's casting as Kratos in Amazon's God of War series, Square Enix announcing Life is Strange: Reunion, and fans reviving Anthem shortly after its shutdown.

Well Star Wars fans can continue to argue, because Kathleen Kennedy stepping down certainly wont stop them. But something to stop to listen to, is George RR Martin telling all to the Hollywood Reporter. Plus, Fallout Season 2 is not falling behind season 1, people just don't remember how TV works. Ubisoft decided to lay a big one on the gaming industry by cancelling another Prince of Persia game, and Netflix wants to keep WB movies on the big screen if the merger goes through.

Welkom bij een nieuwe aflevering van Gamekings Daily. In deze gaming vodcast praten twee presentatoren van Gamekings over de laatste ontwikkelingen uit de wereld die videogames heet. Bij host JJ is ditmaal Huey aangeschoven. Getweeën praten ze over de beloofde reorganisatie die Ubisoft vanaf april van dit jaar zal doorvoeren. Woensdag werden de details bekend gemaakt van het plan dat van Ubisoft weer een gloriërend en winstgevend bedrijf moet maken. Wat houdt de reorganisatie precies in en denken de twee heren dat dit plan een solide basis in zich heeft waar de wederopstanding op gebouwd kan worden? Daarnaast bespreken de twee de torenhoge budgetten van Triple A games. Plus, Rusland wil een eigen Call of Duty gaan maken. Het geld ligt er al, nu de studio nog. Dit alles en meer kun je zien en horen in de Gamekings Daily van donderdag 22 januari 2026.Ubisoft gaat het dit jaar allemaal anders doenUbisoft gaat een nieuwe start maken. Ubi-baas Yves Guillemot wil dat je het oude Ubisoft vergeet. Ubisoft kent voortaan vijf zogenaamde ‘creative houses'. Studio's die hun focus volledig op één genre leggen en op dat terrein succes moeten gaan behalen. Wat zijn de vijf ‘creative houses' en wat gaan ze doen? De Franse publisher kondigde verder aan dat een aantal games gecanceld waren, een aantal uitgesteld en dat een aantal studio's gekort of gesloten worden. Hoe komen de plannen op Huey en JJ over? En wat denkt de buitenwereld ervan?Wordt GTA 6 de game van 2 miljard?In ander nieuws babbelen de heren over Marathon, de GaaS-game van Bungie en PlayStation. Het spel is al niet onder het meest gelukkige gesternte geboren en nu maakte de studio ook nog een paar aparte blunders. Wat er is gebeurd, krijg je te horen in deze video.

Welkom bij een nieuwe aflevering van Gamekings Daily. In deze gaming vodcast praten twee hosts van Gamekings over de laatste ontwikkelingen binnen de wereld der videogames. Ook vandaag zit Shelly achter de desk om samen met JJ het belangrijkste nieuws door te nemen. De topics in deze uitzending betreffen de problemen die ARC Raiders heeft met cheaters en wat de oplossingen zijn om deze gasten te stoppen. Verder kijken de twee naar de plotselinge overstap van de grote man achter The Division naar Battlefield Studios en de vermeende launchdatum van Bungie's Marathon (RED: bij opname was het nog een gerucht, inmiddels is de datum bevestigd). Je kunt het allemaal zien en horen in de Gamekings Daily van dinsdag 20 januari 2026.Moeten cheaters in ARC Raiders een 30-dagen of permaban krijgen?Cheaters zijn een vervelend en hardnekkig probleem bij veel online games. ARC Raiders staat dus niet alleen in hun strijd tegen deze lowlifes. Wat cheaters als aimbots en wallhackers extra vervelend maakt in de populaire shooters van Embark Studios, is dat je vaak lang bezig bent om je loot te verzamelen, die je bij een kill door een vals spelende sukkel allemaal kwijt bent. Wat gaat de studio doen om dit kwaad te bestrijden? Vooralsnog is een ban van 30 dagen de straf. Maar is dat genoeg of zet dit geen zoden aan de dijk? Shelly en JJ bespreken het samen.Grote man The Division stapt verrassend over naar Battlefield StudiosDe twee praten verder in deze video over de verrassende overstap van de grote man achter The Division, Julian Gerighty, van Massive Entertainment naar Battlefield Studios. Je zou immers zeggen dat deze twee studio's nogal concurrenten van elkaar waren. Waarom is Gerighty weggegaan en waarom wil EA hen graag hebben bij het team achter Battlefield? En wat verwachten de twee van de launch van Marathon, die dichterbij is dan we hadden verwacht?

In this episode of Epic Realms, we sit down with game designer Rodney Thompson for an in depth conversation about his journey through tabletop roleplaying games, board games, and video game design. Rodney shares how his early love of Dungeons and Dragons and the West End Games Star Wars RPG shaped his creative path, from college gaming marathons to building homebrew content that eventually opened the door to professional game design. We explore Rodney's time at Wizards of the Coast, including his work on the Star Wars Saga Edition RPG and how lessons from D20 Modern and early fourth edition ideas influenced its structure. Rodney reflects on what worked, what he would change today, and why supporting game masters with strong tools is critical to a game's longevity. The conversation also dives into Rodney's role as a sandbox designer in video games, including his work at Bungie on Destiny. He explains what sandbox design means in both tabletop and video games, how player experience and emotional fantasy drive design decisions, and why iteration and playtesting matter so much across mediums. We also discuss the transition from roleplaying games to board games with Lords of Waterdeep, the lessons learned from physical components and resource management, and how those ideas feed back into RPG design. Finally, Rodney talks about Scratchpad Publishing and his latest tabletop RPG, Neon City Outlaws, a cyberpunk heist and rebellion game that lets players build their city as they play, complete with faction politics, revolution mechanics, and body swapping technology. This episode is a thoughtful look at storytelling through games, creative evolution, and what it means to design experiences that bring people together at the table.

Let's be honest: This whole Light of Motiram thing was shady from the get-go. A game that blatantly rips off Guerrilla's Horizon franchise, created by the publisher-and-developer combo that was later revealed to have unsuccessfully pitched Sony a Horizon spin-off beforehand? They call that 'dead to rights.' And now it's official, because Sony's lawsuit against Tencent over this facsimile has been dropped with prejudice, and the game has been delisted from Steam. That's a win for PlayStation, and an even bigger win for creativity in the AAA space. We discuss. Plus: Sucker Punch co-founder, long-time producer, and studio lead Brian Fleming is officially retiring from the team after 28 years, Bungie's Marathon is slated to come to PS5 in March, Hollow Knight: Silksong is getting a free nautical expansion in '26, and more.

We start with breaking corporate news as Warner Bros. Discovery is expected to reject Paramount's latest acquisition offer, choosing instead to move forward with its $82.7 billion Netflix deal. If finalized, Netflix would gain control of Warner Bros. Games, including massive IP like Mortal Kombat, DC, Harry Potter, and more. We discuss whether Netflix will license these franchises out—or finally go all-in on games—and what this could mean for the future of AAA development. Next, we look at alarming new data showing US hardware sales and physical game spending just hit their worst November in 30 years. Despite heavy Black Friday promotions, record-high console prices dragged sales down, even as PS5 emerged as the best-selling console for the month. We break down what this says about the future of physical games, hardware pricing, and consumer behavior. Then we tackle the ongoing AI controversy in game development, as Larian Studios CEO Swen Vincke responds forcefully to backlash over AI usage following The Game Awards. Vincke makes it clear: artists are not being replaced. We discuss where AI fits responsibly in modern game development—and where players are drawing the line. The episode also covers Bungie's major Marathon update, including a March 2026 release date, revamped visuals, deeper PvE, hardcore gameplay shifts, solo playlists, expanded weapon mod systems, and new lore teases. After months of controversy, Bungie appears to be rebuilding trust—so we ask: Is Marathon finally back on track? And can it stand alongside competitors like Arc Raiders? Plus, listener questions and reactions on Bungie, PlayStation strategy, and shooter fatigue.

When it comes to the evolving gaming market, there's a lot for Sony to keep an eye on in the years and decades to come. To keep PlayStation the vibrant brand it is today, the company needs to spread the field, and two newly-announced projects -- an all-new co-op multiplayer game from the director of Left 4 Dead and a mobile port of mega-popular baseball franchise MLB: The Show -- fit the bill nicely. It's true that Sony has had more than its fair share of false starts (and even outright failures) in both the mobile and games-as-a-service space. Yet, there's gold in them there hills. Lots of it. Can Sony finally slay some off-platform and off-genre demons and reap some rewards? We discuss. Plus: Nixxes helps reduce Helldivers 2's PC file size by an astounding 85%, Bungie has apparently solved its dispute with the artist it purportedly stole Marathon-related art from, Shovel Knight developer Yacht Club Games finds itself in self-inflicted financial duress, Amazon has already renewed the God of War TV show for a second season, and more. Then: Listener inquiries! Has leaking culture gone too far? Will Micron's exit from the consumer RAM business affect console manufacturing? How can people find likeminded gaming friends online? Can we please do away with adult gift-giving once and for all?

Justin Lin, known for his work on the Fast and Furious franchise, is officially set to direct Sony Pictures and PlayStation Productions' live-action Helldivers movie. With a script from Gary Dauberman, Lin is reportedly focusing on character, world-building, and thematic depth as he brings the popular Arrowhead Game Studios franchise to film. The long-anticipated Amazon God of War TV series is now moving into pre-production, with Frederick E.O. Toye directing the first two episodes. Casting has begun for Kratos and Atreus, putting to rest ongoing speculation about who will take on the lead roles. Toye's previous work on Shogun, The Boys, Westworld, and Watchmen signals a high-quality adaptation. Meanwhile, recent rumors linking Christopher Judge to the role have been dismissed. A mysterious statue discovered in the Mojave Desert, tied to a teaser from Geoff Keighley, has sparked intense speculation about what game it represents. Fans have theorized connections to God of War, Diablo, Fallout, Doom, Baldur's Gate, and even Half-Life due to nearby road names, but multiple insiders have ruled out several of these possibilities. The statue continues to generate discussion as more clues appear. Industry commentary also includes discussion around claims from HipHopGamer regarding a new PlayStation experience that could feature elements from all generations of PlayStation hardware and include a social component reminiscent of PlayStation Home. This speculation opens broader conversations about what PlayStation, Xbox, and PC gaming may look like in the next hardware cycle. The controversy involving Bungie's Marathon art dispute has reached a resolution, with artist Fern “4nt1r34l” Hook stating that the issue has been resolved to her satisfaction. Bungie previously acknowledged that a former employee had used her work without permission during the game's early development and removed the affected assets from the project. Yacht Club Games, the studio behind Shovel Knight, is facing a critical moment as it prepares for the release of Mina the Hollower. According to Bloomberg, the studio's future stability depends heavily on the game's sales performance. With the team having downsized and paused work on a separate 3D Shovel Knight project, the success of Mina the Hollower may determine the direction of the studio moving forward. Additional updates include a significant reduction to Helldivers 2's PC install size, a new limited-edition Genshin Impact DualSense controller for PS5, the soft launch of MLB The Show Mobile on iOS and Android, and new accusations that Sony used generative AI artwork for its PlayStation Advent Calendar promotional campaign. This episode brings together the biggest stories shaping PlayStation, Xbox, PC, and the wider gaming industry, with insight into upcoming adaptations, studio challenges, production reveals, and the future direction of gaming.

Last year, Sony launched it's service-based third-person shooter Concord, and it bombed worse than virtually any PlayStation-developed title in history. In fact, it was received so poorly that Sony disappeared it off the market in a matter of two weeks, gave everyone their money back, and snuffed the entire project out of existence while closing the studio that made it. Fast-forward more than a year, though, and Concord has kinda-sorta returned. Tech-savvy enthusiasts have revived the game on private servers, but Sony has already caught wind of it all and are working to nip it in the bud. Do we really need Concord to return? Why does Sony care if it does? And why do smart people work so diligently on things they don't own or have control over? Plus: Black Friday will be exceptionally nice for those looking for PlayStation hardware, accessories, and games, Sony dominates The Game Awards nominations with 19, Bungie prods its playerbase for ideas on how to improve Destiny 2, EA's F1 series is taking a year hiatus, possibly indicating the future of EA Sports, Peacock renews Twisted Metal for a third season, and more.
