Another week comes to a close, and the XboxEra Podcast Episode 213 arrives chock full of news, gaming discussion and hilarious laughter and just what you can’t face. (You’ll understand this one when you listen, promise)
Sik is back after a few episodes off due to birthdays and real life stuff, and Nick and Jesse are as always, still here.
This week, we’ve got IndieGameJoe from the HYPERCHARGE Unboxed team at Digital Cybercherries back as the Xbox version hits next week.
Tons of news has happened, from games like Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II releasing to a new DOOM game leaking via InsiderGaming. Things have been played, so let’s break it all down in the XboxEra Podcast Episode 213.
