Episode 598: Welcome to 2021

This is the first podcast of 2021! It was also recorded a day before people decided to invade the US Capitol. How weird is that, hearing us blissfully unaware of insurrectionists who thought they could terrorize the US Senate?

Anyway, this week’s news includes:

  • Minecraft Earth is closing in June
  • Bethesda tweets about Elder Scrolls
  • Hitman 3 will launch with trilogy-wide optimizations
