Selling Years of Their Smoke and Mirrors and Open Minds | Sacred Symbols, Episode 369

With leaks galore coming out of its closed testing period, it should come as no surprise that Battlefield 6 is real, and it's en route very soon. Electronic Arts and its quartet of fully-owned teams under the Battlefield Studios moniker promise a full multiplayer reveal in late July, and rumors indicate the full title is primed to launch in October. Can EA finally turn the ship around and fully deliver on the potential of its ailing franchise? Or has its lunch been permanently eaten? Plus: Sony invests $450 million into Bandai Namco in return for 2.5% of the publisher, FromSoft is reportedly working on a mystery game due out in 2026, the reasons for Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles' long development cycle suddenly become clearer, Microsoft backtracks on The Outer Worlds 2's aggressive pricing, Death Stranding 2 sells big, and more. Then: Listener inquiries! Did our parents ever play games with us while we were growing up? Is Colin an unadulterated and unhinged Nintendo hater? Will shorter and more reasonable development cycles ever return to the AAA space? Could one listener's ex now be dating another listener? Follow the hosts!

HEY COLIN! The Battlefield 3 campaign is worth checking out as a fan of history. It's not too tier shit but the general premise is sort of awesome. The idea of a massive earthquake taking place on the border or Iraq and Iran causing both sides to open up and take advantage of the chaos. Its a great premise and fizzles out after the first couple levels. Also Ready or Not us a polished up third person rainbow six game. You'll love it. I've played the game almost entirely by myself and I've having a blast
