Alex and Ben come together to discuss two of the biggest developments of the week. We look at Obsidian’s RPG Avowed and how it is shaping up to some of the other RPG titans of 2025 so far, and question whether its release strategy will harm it in the long run. Then we turn our attention to Elden Ring: Nightreign, where Alex discusses his time playing the game and why it’s one of the most unusual FromSoftware titles to date.
