In today's Daily Fix:Xbox Game Pass Wave 2 titles have been revealed, and there are some big open-world heavy-hitters. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Complete Edition, Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, and Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 all make their way to the service, among other games. In other news, Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile will go offline in just a couple of months—not to be confused with Call of Duty: Mobile, which is still going strong (and also has a battle royale mode). And finally, a toy set from the upcoming Super Mario Galaxy Movie may have spoiled the reveal of a beloved NES character.

Welcome to Dev Game Club, where this week we continue our series on Ultima IV. We talk about the boat, we talk about dungeons (a tiny bit), we deep dive into NPCs and consequences, we talk about the quests and how everything is in the world, and answer some listener email. Dev Game Club looks at classic video games and plays through them over several episodes, providing commentary. Sections played: More of Ultima IV (Much more, in B's case) Issues covered: revisiting locations and finding new things, a game that does a lot with a little, everything existing in the world, getting to know the world, NPCs sharing sprites and being hard to remember, getting a ship and fighting your way on, broadside combat, dying to a waterspout, wanting to search the oceans, badly simulating tacking, riding a horse, being interrupted in any location, trying to replicate the tabletop experience, feeling like a "yes" game, whether what you do matters, can you be a thief, watering down a morality system, having a limited palette of options at any one time, layering frosting, taking out the friction and icky feeling, the niche audience of some RPGs, taking elements from older games and bringing them into modern games, asking questions of the player who is also the character, avoiding the uncanny valley, an aside into adventure mode, the horseshoe effect on NPCs, reaching the limits of what the human brain can contemplate, an aside into Dunbar's number, facing the same challenges, chunking chapters, feeling the anxiety of there being too much, coalescing your notes from time to time, the telescope moment and seeing the map, the lack of loot, preparing to do things, validating your assumptions, having to revisit everywhere, the friction of Pikmin, getting good controllers, handheld mode, the Wavebird, bouncing off character creation, character creation we've liked, wanting a story to wrap around a more specific character, the generic hero, having fun with a character creator, a freeing character creator. Games, people, and influences mentioned or discussed: Final Fantasy (series), Gold Box (series), Eye of the Beholder, Outer Wilds, The Witcher (series), Beowulf, Dungeons & Dragons, Wizardry (series), BioWare, Mass Effect, BioShock, Dishonored, CD Project Red, Cyberpunk 2077, Baldur's Gate III, Thief, Robin Hood, VtM Bloodlines, Undertale, Dark Souls, Land of the Lost, Dwarf Fortress, Planescape: Torment, Metroid / Castlevania, Richard Garriott, Sasha, Pikmin, Nintendo, Shigeru Miyamoto, Switch, PlayStation, Analog Pocket, Ashton Herrmann, Monkey Island, Wing Commander, Morrowind, Fallout 3, Dragon Age: Origins, Bethesda Game Studios, Blizzard, World of Warcraft, Diablo (series), Metal Gear Solid V, Hideo Kojima, Saint's Row IV, Call of Cthulhu, Asher, Cuphead, KyleAndError, Hitman, FFSZilla, MGS: VR Missions, Kirk Hamilton, Aaron Evers, Mark Garcia. Note: Because Ultima IV has very little music to speak of, I will be substituting music from later in the series in the openings to these episodes TTDS: 38:30 Links: Majuular Ultima IV video recommended by Chris Next time: Finish Ultima IV Twitch: timlongojr and twinsunscorp YouTube Discord DevGameClub@gmail.com
With so much of the world focused on games right now, it seemed only natural for us to do the same and the results are pure off-the-rails gold. (If they gave medals for going on random tangents, we'd be the competitors to beat.) In this new side quest, we discuss Reigns: The Witcher, the just-announced Witcher mobile game releasing later this month, before we deep dive into all the recent rumors about a possible new Witcher 3 DLC. Could they be true, and if so, what would we like to see? We consider the pros and cons of releasing DLC for a game that's now over a decade old before we wrap up with Valerie's thoughts on The Conqueror's Witcher Virtual Challenge and why she may never make it out of Velen. Oh, and we wind up talking about sex cards. Because of course we do.

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. Immer vergezeld van een gekruide mening. JJ wordt ditmaal vergezeld door Huey. Met zijn tweeën praten ze over de mededeling van Valve dat ze er nog steeds niet over uit zijn wat de prijs van hun Steam Machine moet zijn. Dat terwijl de console de komende maanden uit moet komen. Waarom weten ze die prijs niet? En bestaat er een kans dat de Steam Machine misschien wordt uitgesteld? De twee hebben het verder ook over de grootte van de map van The Witcher 4. Het lijkt er namelijk op dat de tijden dat alles altijd groter moest, voorbij zijn. Dit, en meer, kun je zien en horen in de Gamekings Daily van donderdag 5 februari 2026.Makers The Witcher 4 focussen niet op het maken van de 'grootste map ooit'CD Projekt Red is druk bezig met het werk aan The Witcher 4. In een interview gaven de makers aan dat de map van deel 4 niet groter wordt dan die van The Witcher 3; Wild Hunt. De focus binnen het bedrijf ligt 100% op het rijker maken van de map. Er moet meer gebeuren, meer te zien zijn en meer te doen. Wat denken de twee heren van deze aanpak? En zien ze deze aanpak als een stijlbreuk? Want tot voor kort ratelde elke pr-medewerker bij een nieuwe open wereld-game dat de map groter zou worden dan de voorganger.Valve weet nog steeds de prijs van de Steam Machine nietEen ander onderwerp dat aan bod komt in deze editie is het cancellen van Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. Het lijkt er meer en meer op dat de game echt af was. Waarom dan niet gewoon uitgeven? Of is het een vooropgezet plan? De beide heren gaan er de discussie over aan.Timestamps:00:00:00 De Gamekings Daily van 5 februari00:00:53 Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time remake 00:07:38 Nintendo Direct: Partner Showcase00:11:39 PlayStation kwartaalcijfers boven verwachting00:12:45 Valve weet prijs van Steam Machine nog steeds niet 00:19:18 The Witcher 4 wordt even groot als The Witcher 3, maar voller
It's been a remarkable ride, but The Witcher's fourth season has finally reached its end and it's going out with a splash! (As in river water, not whiskey. We're not THAT drunk.) With Geralt and co. looking to cross the Yaruga, we open up a bottle of Flatboat Kentucky Straight Single Barrel Bourbon to help them on their journey. Unlike our favorite witcher, no arrows are shot at us as we discuss the fast-paced finale, not even when we rant about what may be Valerie's least favorite Yen outfit so far, tear into the utterly nonsensical monster fight and roll our eyes at the fact that Nimue is still going on about destiny while possibly traumatizing a child. More positively, we welcome Milva back to the show (seriously, girl, where did you go?), declare our allegiance to Queen Meve and wonder if the Rats should have reconsidered that offer Bonhart made them. It's an unforgettable discussion full of twists, turns and the occasional movie rec, as we say goodbye to our favorite fantasy franchise for another season!
¿Siempre quisiste contar columnas de edificios públicos pero nunca pudiste por temor a morir de mala suerte? Entonces Café Fandango es el podcast para vos. Además de poner nuestra seguridad en las manos del destino, en este programa vas a escuchar a Edu que decidió abandonar el Persona 5 Strikers y también te cuenta de sus primeras impresiones del Citizen Sleeper 2, del Earth Must Die y del Planet of Lana. Después pasamos a las noticias donde Dispatch sale para Switch pero absurdamente censurado, preordenar el Pokemon Pokipia en Amazon viene con la planta más aburrida de la historia, parece que el MMO Ashes of Creation nunca saldrá del Early Access, se anuncia un nuevo juego de la saga Reigns en el mundo del Witcher y cerramos con un pequeño y chiquito bug en un juego chino que podría pasarle a cualquiera. Finalmente, con la Pregunta Fandango, mangueamos juegos por doquier.

Director and Executive Producer Stephen Surjik joins us to break down the making of Netflix's new Western series The Abandons—a gloriously bloody, female-led frontier drama already being compared to Yellowstone. Set in the lawless 1850s Washington Territory, The Abandons follows a brutal land feud between two formidable matriarchs, played by Gillian Anderson and Lena Headey. Stephen walks us through what it takes to make a Western feel dangerous again—from shooting in the Badlands and mountains of Alberta to navigating extreme weather, elevation, horses, and real wildlife on set.We dive deep into The Abandons, Stephen's long-standing collaboration with Netflix (The Umbrella Academy, Daredevil, Jessica Jones, The Witcher), and his return to working with Gillian Anderson two decades after The X-Files. Stephen also shares how close collaboration with First Nations communities and cultural advisors shaped the show's authenticity—on screen and behind the scenes. If you're interested in large-scale production, historical world-building, or directing performances where power, land, and survival collide, this is a must-listen.
With Season 4's seventh episode offering a break from the action, it felt like the perfect time for a smoke—as in a seriously peated Islay scotch! Geralt may be the one struggling with the actual monster this week, but Ardbeg's Wee Beastie proves formidable as well…or at least its tasting notes do, which nearly prove to be too much for Valerie. We also find we have questions for Yen and her crazy glamping tent, ponder whether Ciri and Mistle broke up and we all just missed it, and discuss the merits of sleeping with rusalkas. (It might be fun, but probably not in a swamp.) Plus, we say farewell to some great characters, agree yet again on the episode's Kaer Moron and get a bit extra with our post-credits outtake!

Quedan 8 episodios para que el mundo conozca las consecuencias de 600 episodios de Café Fandango, y esperemos que los conductores se dignen a pensar en chistes para el título de esos programas durante su grabación y no horas después mientras escriben la descripción del episodio. A pesar de no escuchar el chistazo que pudieron leer en el título, en este programa lo tienen a Edu que empezó y terminó el Sword of the sea, se toma su tiempo con el OneRoom y prueba un poco el Persona 5 strikers y el Suika game planet. Gus por su lado te comenta sus opiniones finales del Roottrees are Dead. Después pasamos a las noticias donde un mod convierte al Witcher 3 en un juego cooperativo, Ubisoft se reorganiza y aprovecha para cancelar y retrasar juegos, se anuncia una nueva entrega del Life is Strange y un nuevo juego de Dragon Ball, Xbox hace un breve evento que Edu resume aún más y cerramos con nuestra sección de legales donde Gus pasa un 90% del tiempo buscando traducir "rivalrous". Finalmente la Pregunta Fandango nos hace recordar a los ítems más valiosos que supimos tener en un videojuego.

We are back for 2026! After a year-long challenge of purchasing zero new video games in 2025, Trevor and Jeff break down the aftermath. Did we survive the FOMO? What is the first game we bought in 2026? In this episode, we dive into the "Dad Dust" of getting back behind the mic, the joy of finally playing Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 and Hades 2, and the promising horizon of 2026 releases like Fable and potential Witcher 3 DLC. We also discuss the state of gaming in our households: from successfully banning Roblox, to our kids discovering Skyrim with heavy mods, to the hilarious realization our children had while playing WWE 2K24—that you used to be able to unlock characters just by playing the game. Finally, Jeff shares his newfound obsession with Valheim on the Steam Deck and why its "beautiful ugly" aesthetic is perfect for gaming dads.

After years of secrecy and many delays, Xbox is set to pull the lid off one of its most anticipated RPGs at the upcoming Developer Direct. First rumored in 2017 and announced in 2020, Fable has been baking at Playground Games, the prolific racing game studio, for a long, long time. Now, Xbox promises a deep dive on everything from combat and choice to British humor and chickens. Is it do or die time for Fable? How does its early year showing shake up the already packed summer showcase? Will we finally get a release date? Perhaps just a release year? Indeed, there are so many questions, but most of these will be announced very shortly!

Check out Cam's latest novel / audio drama here! In anticipation of HBO's A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, this episode is our deep-dive analysis of GRRM's The Hedge Knight, which will serve as the (absolutely fantastic) source material for the show's first season. Topics include: Witcher-esque grim optimism, dream / prophecy analysis, echoes of GOT & LOTR, and the chance for this story to be for fantasy what The Mandalorian was supposed to be for science fiction.

Welcome to Multiverse News, Your source for Information about all your favorite fictional universesThe fourth Doomsday teaser trailer arrived today, showcasing Shuri as the Black Panther, M'Baku as King of Wakanda, and Namor overseeing his people. Far from the lush landscapes we're used to in Wakanda, the scene takes place in a desert and features M'Baku meeting Ben Grimm. The Russo Brothers Instagram account also posted today, clarifying that these are not “teaser trailers” as we've been treating them, but rather clues to the story. Netflix may be lamenting the end of their biggest hit, Stranger Things, but the streaming giant is still looking forward to its 2026 television slate.

Fortify the walls, ready your defenses and for heaven's sake, be careful where you swing that hammer—this week we're talking about Season 4's action-packed sixth episode! With Yennefer leading the charge at Montecalvo, we're paying tribute to Anya Chalotra with a bottle of Nirvana Indian Single Malt Whisky and a discussion that asks all the hard questions: Why doesn't Philippa just use magic? How did we wind up with druids? Was Vilgefortz's magical facelift worth it? (We may think so, but we doubt the mages who sacrificed themselves for it agree.) And what the heck is that gunk that's in everyone's hair anyhow? We also discuss the episode's many deaths, question what some sorceresses wear into battle and explain why a little child neglect goes a long way when it comes to Leo Bonhart.
On this episode, we talk Avowed making it's way to PS5 like it's Xbox siblings, Fallout 3 and New Vegas reportedly getting remasters, The Witcher 3 rumors of DLC or an Expansion in 2026 to set up for The Witcher 4, and more!

We start with new reports claiming The Witcher 3 is set to receive a brand-new paid DLC in May 2026, which could serve as the official kickoff for The Witcher 4's marketing campaign, currently expected to launch in Q4 2027. We discuss what a return to The Witcher 3 means nearly a decade later and whether this strategy benefits CD Projekt RED. Next, we dive into a newly discovered Sony patent for an AI-powered in-game assistant, designed to help players overcome challenges — or potentially complete sections of games for them. We debate the implications for accessibility, player agency, and the future of game design. We also cover reports that MachineGames is working on Wolfenstein 3, alongside a Rainbow Six Siege–style multiplayer project, as well as claims that StarCraft shooters and Fallout remakes may be in development at Xbox. Plus, we analyze the latest GTA 6 update from Jason Schreier, including why the game is reportedly not content-complete, what that means for its release window, and why PlayStation is said to be the primary platform anchoring Sony's future lineup. To close out the show, we tackle a big industry question: How do we fix the modern video game industry? From budgets and studio size to jobs, AI, leadership, and sustainability, we discuss what needs to change — and what's already working. We also hit Flash News, including PlayStation's new Hyperpop PS5 accessory collection and the PlayStation Plus Monthly Games for January, before wrapping up with Whatcha Been Playin'?
