While Gamescom 2021 is approaching swiftly, there are still matters to tend to before then including the hottest news and our thoughts regarding the newest gaming releases. You can expect TheXboxHub Official Podcast Episode 93 to cover the latest Pokémon presentation, the Call of Duty Vanguard trailer, rumours for Gamescom, and more. There’s also insight on The Vale: Shadow of the Crown, Twelve Minutes, Action Arcade Wrestling, plus a few other titles. So, relax and please enjoy our musings.
This week’s episode sees Gareth, James and Paul get together to discuss the matters at hand. First on the agenda are a selection of TV show recommendations, such as Marvel’s ‘What If?’ on Disney+ and ‘Heels’ on Starz. Meanwhile, Paul has been grafting hard and decides to share how enjoyable PAT testing is, before steering the conversation towards gaming.
Even though brand new AAA titles are in relatively short supply, our trio have found plenty of indie offerings to deliver their verdicts on. Prepare to be enlightened about the fascinating sound-focused experience of The Vale: Shadow of the Crown, the rather niche Lawn Mowing Simulator, and the old school styled Action Arcade Wrestling. That’s not all though, because the team also chat about Flatland Vol.2, Twelve Minutes, Crimson Spires, and Xbox Cloud Gaming.
And then it’s time for the latest news, beginning with the reveals of the gritty Call of Duty Vanguard trailer and the gameplay footage for Black Myth Wukong. Following those, the growing speculation about GTA remasters and the confirmed Skyrim anniversary edition share the spotlight. Next up, the highlights from the Pokémon Direct, such as Pokémon Legends Arceus, and the remakes for Diamond and Pearl. Last, but not least, is a look ahead to Gamescom 2021.
