I don’t know about you, but I think this week has been a pretty great one for video gaming goodness! From the Game Awards seeing the return of some classic franchises to the confirmation of yet another Developer_Direct in January, it seems there’s plenty to talk about in the XboxEra Podcast Episode 292!
I’m out this week, so Jesse and Nick are joined by the lovely Rand Al Thor 19 to discuss all the latest and greatest in gaming, and there’s plenty to chat about. The Game Awards have been and gone, and the evening saw plenty of surprise reveals, and big moments. The fantastic Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 swept the night, including winning the most prestigious award – Game of the Year.
The glitzy evening also saw the return of some fantastic classic IP, from a new Tomb Raider – and a remake! – to a new Star Wars ‘Old Republic’ title and a pod-racer. We’ve also got reviews of Death Howl (PC Game Pass) and Terminator 2D: NO FATE available if you’re curious and want to play.
