Spectator Mode Ep. 182 – Game Informer Returns, Assassin’s Creed Shadows, and Ubisoft Drama

By Keith MitchellMarch 31, 2025
Spectator Mode Podcast Episode 182 header

On Spectator Mode Podcast episode 182, we dive into the latest gaming buzz, starting with our excitement about heading back to Summer Game Fest before diving into the big news—Game Informer is back! Dotemu and Tribute Games also made headlines with their reveal of Marvel Cosmic Invasion, while The First Berserker: Khazan left Keith seriously impressed. We reviewed Dark Deity 2 and even had an insightful interview with MASUMI. The episode also featured a deep dive into Assassin’s Creed Shadows, discussing its overall impact and how it runs on Nvidia GeForce Now.

We then examined what’s happening between Ubisoft and Tencent before shifting gears to the announcement of Trails Beyond the Horizon. The conversation got even more interesting as we debated whether publishers are afraid of Grand Theft Auto 6 and pondered the misinformation over the Xbox’s Steam integration disclosure. Finally, we wrapped up with some housekeeping and ended with Jordan’s displease about his PC. Don’t miss this jam-packed episode!
