Cardy, Matt, and Wes are here to talk through January 2025's Xbox Developer Direct and the impressive quartet of games featured; Doom: The Dark Ages, South of Midnight, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, and Ninja Gaiden 4. Plus, there's also some time for some hands-on impressions of Assassin's Creed: Shadows thanks to Matt's sneaking and slashing around rural Japan.
