Tetracast - Episode 250: A Hard M

Welcome to the latest edition of the Tetracast, RPG Site's regular, seemingly weekly podcast!

Due to a light RPG release slate in recent weeks, following the tumultuous February and March, this episode of the podcast opens up a bit outside the usual genre scope as we discuss games we've been playing for our backlogs. This includes the recently released Trek to Yomi, classic Zelda & Metroid titles, Madworld (written by Yasumi Matsuno!), and even a word puzzle game called Knotwords.

While the news slate this week was mostly light, a major exception is the surprising sale of Eidos Montreal, Crystal Dynamics, and Square Enix Montreal to Embracer Group. We also chat about new release dates for Outward: Definitive Edition, Wolfstride for Switch, and Prinny Presents NIS Classics Volume 3.

This edition of the Tetracast features Bryan Vitale (@ZeoMassicot), Josh Torres (@HD_Kirin), Adam Vitale (@King_Seda), James Galizio (@Theswweet), and Chao Min Wu. You can find links to the full episode of the podcast below along with our RSS feed, and also subscribe to us on iTunes or Google Podcasts, and follow on Spotify!
