We have a wide variety of topics to talk about today. We talk about the recent announcement from MonolithSoft that they’re hiring for a new Zelda and what that means for the franchise, and playing Sekiro and knowing how long to put into something before you decide to bounce. There might be Dead or Alive Beach Volleyball talk. Might not. Hard to say.

Nintendo is killing Monolith Soft similar to the way EA killed Visceral. They pulled Monolith’s A-team to help finish Zelda Breath of the Wild, so Xenoblade 2 was left with the B team. This is why were left with the gacha blade spawning system and artificial gates to limit progression (similar to Anthem). I’m kinda angry hearing Monolith gets pulled to help make Zelda again, that means their next game will probably suck just like Xenoblade 2.
