Fri, 06 Sep 2024 20:08:52 +0000

On this week’s GoGCast, we’re still traveling in a galaxy far far away as the crew is enjoying playing Star Wars games. Plus, Remedy and Annapurna sign a deal to make games, tv shows and movies in the Alan Wake/Control universe, Bungie says “Bye Felicia!” to a problematic director, and an official timeline finally reveals where Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom stand in relation to other TLoZ games.

Fri, 30 Aug 2024 01:36:05 +0000

It’s all about cons in this episode, both the good and bad kinds. We attend con(vention)s both in person and digitally: Leah went to Fan Expo and we round-up some major announcements from Gamescom 2024. And we check out a huge con (artist) as a report comes out detailing that games accessibility advocates might have been completely made up by ‘Can I Play That?’ founder Coty Craven.
