Remap Radio
About this episode

Rob returns to the podcast ready to talk about the latest and greatest in…uh, Empire: Total War mods? Before all that, though, we break down the massive set of Xbox leaks, use Microsoft’s misreading of Baldur’s Gate 3’s breakout potential as a way to discuss the state of Xbox software, and try to figure out the pyramid scheme that is Embracer. Elsewhere, Patrick’s been really digging Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty, and Ren’s quickly breaking apart Lies of P.


Discussed: Microsoft Megaleak 5:27, Embracer Group Layoffs 48:21, Cyberpunk 2077 1:12:20, Lies of P 1:47:28, New Forza Game 2:07:57, The Question Bucket 2:12:36
