Defining Duke, Episode 74: Our Xbox & Bethesda Games Showcase 2022 Predictions ft. Xbox Two (Patreon)

The situation has changed for Xbox entering this year's showcase. With the delay of both Starfield and Redfall, 2022 is looking mighty empty and they need answers. However, the slate for 2023 is quite the opposite as it appears to be chockful of games. Joining the Dukes are the fine gentlemen of Xbox Two - Rand Al Thor 19 and Jez Corden. Together, we comb through each and every Xbox first party studio, rumored third party project, Game Pass candidates, acquisition targets, and some of the most bold, outlandish predictions you may ever hear. This is our longest episode yet, so please do enjoy and we will see you on the other side for our showcase reactions.
