Episode notes

The episode reviews several betas played during the summer, including New World, Diablo II Resurrected and Back 4 Blood, before focusing on Blizzard’s future. The team discusses an unconfirmed rumor about a possible change in the company’s identity and examines its perceived loss of activity, dependence on franchises such as World of Warcraft and Overwatch, and the perceived lack of renewal in some of its games. Diablo II: Resurrected is also assessed: it preserves the original gameplay while adding visual and quality-of-life improvements, prompting divided opinions about how ambitious the update is. The second major section focuses on Ghost of Tsushima: Iki Island and its PlayStation 5 improvements. The discussion covers its gameplay additions, the story’s length and depth, Jin Sakai’s past, and Legends mode. The final recommendation distinguishes between buying the complete game and paying to upgrade a PlayStation 4 copy. The episode closes with upcoming releases, a Call of Duty: Vanguard alpha, and the growing availability of demos, betas and refunds.
