Defining Duke, Episode 267 | Xbox's 2026 Game Release Schedule Has Leaked...

As Grand Theft Auto VI begins to lock in its November 19th release date, we're already started to see publishers scramble with their release plans. A recent report out of The Verge firms up that Xbox, like much of this industry, will be attempting to evade the blast zone. As such, they are moving some games up and there's a chance others fall out of the year. Joining Matty this week is Last Stand's own Brad Ellis to talk about everything from Halo Campaign Evolved to Gears Of War: E-Day as we...

Sacred Symbols+, Episode 501 | The Live Service Paradox

It's me, Colin. Please welcome Summon Sign and Punching Up host Brad Ellis and LSM editor Lockmort to Sacred+. This week, we convene to discuss a pressing topic: The never-ending growth of gaming's live service sector, and the incredible amount of consumer animosity that has built up around it. On one hand, the most popular games in the world -- Roblox, Fortnite, GTA, and so on -- are ubiquitously live service. They have massive audiences, churn enormous sums of cash, and experience endless a...

Sacred Symbols, Episode 397 | Nothing Seems To Fill This Place

In the wake the reveal of the PC-only MMORPG Steel Frontiers late last year, the other long-rumored Horizon multiplayer game has finally been announced. It's called Hunters Gathering, it's in development internally at Guerrilla, and it's set to launch on both PS5 and PC at some point in the future. Excited? Well, some of you (and us!) are. But the response at this early hour has been mixed. Is Horizon being overexposed? Where's the third core game? What's with this obsession with multiplayer?...

Defining Duke, Episode 266 | Obsidian Opens Up On Their Future...

Xbox's marketing beat for 2025 was "The Year Of Obsidian Entertainment." Frankly, it made sense. No matter how you feel about the quality of these games, the fact that this team shipped Avowed, Outer Worlds 2, and Grounded 2 all within a calendar year (while many other teams within the first party fold continue to stumble around) was worthy of all the praise. Well, Obsidian has some thoughts on that marketing tagline. Indeed of it being a rallying cry, Obsidian's own Josh Sawyer defined as a ...
