Chapter 1: What are the greatest gaming mysteries of 2025?
Hello, fellow gamers, and welcome to the Video Gamers Podcast. Will GTA 6 release this year? Will the Switch 2 be anything more than a slight improvement over the original? Will Silksong ever actually release? On this episode, we're going to talk about some of the greatest gaming mysteries for 2025 to remind you about a few games we're all still wondering about.
Chapter 2: Will GTA 6 release this year?
But first, some introductions are in order. I am your host, Josh. And joining me, he's probably mad at me for saying Silksong again, but I don't even care. Silksong, Silksong, Silksong.
It's Ryan. I was not even thinking about that. The first time you said it, I was like, dude, you said it again in my head.
I knew you were. That's why I wrote it into the intro.
You can't. It's like another so many years every single time. I don't even care anymore, Ryan. We're never going to get it. I just accepted it.
This is to the point I don't even care. Silk Song!
Silk Song!
You know what?
Silk Song! Silk Song! Yeah!
Say it with me! Silk Song! We don't want your dumb sequel.

Chapter 3: What happened to Light No Fire?
Do you believe? I mean, March is not that far away.
It is not, which is crazy to think. We're already almost halfway through January. March is only a couple months away.
And I feel like if this game, if Judas, which is an insanely big-name title, was going to release in less than two months, I feel like we'd be getting those teaser drips, those little snippets of gameplay, the hands-on previews, something to get this hype meter rolling. Get on the hype train, people. And so, do you think it's going to come out in March?
Chapter 4: What is the hype level for the game Judas?
I would say for the betting term, the sharp money would not be on March is what I would say.
As much as I really, really want to get my hands on this game, I'm not sure it's releasing in March. Now, I will say we did get an actual gameplay preview where we got a breakdown and this happened. I want to say this happened like a couple months ago, maybe three, four months ago, somewhere around there. But we actually did get some Judas News. All of a sudden, we were like...
whoa, there's a gameplay trailer? We actually get to see some of this stuff. There was a big interview with Ken Levine about the game, but they did show off some actual gameplay and some of the stuff that this game is going to be about. Were you impressed by the gameplay? Did this catch your eye? Did it get you hyped?
It did. I just want to play it. I'm like, I'm ready. I want to play that kind of... Bioshock feeling game again. I want to have that gritty dark nature. With just kind of a cool environment. And the gameplay looked awesome. The features looked cool. The story. The voice acting. Everything about it is what I like. And I want it now. Or I want a realistic timeline.
When are we really going to get this? When can I expect to actually play this game? Because a lot of these. We were going over names of games. That were expected. And we weren't sure about. And, you know, a lot of these, like you said, three, four months ago, we got some info on it.
Like, that's kind of a long time in the tech world or video game world to get... You know, normally you got stuff every couple weeks. You get that drip to get people hyped and ready. And we just haven't been getting that with this. And so I, you know, I honestly forgot about this game. But I'm so excited for it. You know, which is such a weird thing to say. But...
Yeah, I want it and I want more content and I want to be hyped for it. All they got to do is just give me a little bit. Give me that drip and I'll be ready.
And that's kind of one of the things that worries me about a March release is normally by now we would have that drip and we're not getting it. And so I do think this game is going to release in 2025. I am actually going to plant my flag and say I do believe that this game will come out. It might be second half or even late 2025, but I'm pretty sure...
I would say I probably have more confidence in this game than a lot of the other games that we're going to talk about actually releasing this year. But if you have not checked out Judas and seen some of the trailers and the gameplay for it, you need to do that, number one, because this game looks fantastic. This is absolutely a spiritual successor to the Bioshock franchise.

Chapter 5: What is Ark Raiders and why is it exciting?
I mean, no warning, no communications from the company that they were working on something else for a little game called Light No Fire. And dude, I can't begin to tell you the amount of excitement and hype that went through me when I watched this trailer and what I saw with you and your buddies exploring this fantasy world as a group, flying on dragons, looking around this amazing looking world.
It looks like an absolutely gigantic planet. You're going on quest, you're finding gear, you're doing all this stuff. It looks like they took everything they learned from No Man's Sky over the last 10 years and then said, let's perfect it and put it into a multiplayer game. Yeah. And Light No Fire is that game. And I don't know why my brain is so enamored of this game.
Like watch the watch the trailer for this. Now, there's been no no trailer since since this announcement. But just go back, go back and watch that trailer. Just Google light, no fire trailer. And you're going to see, dude, this this game, when we get an actual release date, will probably catapult to the forefront of my hype meter. Just because number one, it's right up my alley.
It looks like this open world crafting survival multiplayer game. I know that they've learned their lessons on this.
Yes.
Just from the snippet that they showed, it looks incredibly well done and incredibly fun. What are your thoughts on light? No fire, Ryan, dude.
Okay. So I am just equally as stoked as you are. So I think they've really learned their lesson with no man's sky. Cause I was one of those day one releases. I got this game and I'm like, This just doesn't work. What are we doing here? Where's all the crazy dinosaurs walking around? What is all this? I went to like 400 planets. I'm like, what am I supposed to be doing?
There's nothing here, anywhere. And I think what they've done to repair that and fix that shows that they've learned their lesson and they know what needs to be done and they know what people expect out of this type of a game. Because this is, I mean, procedurally generated and AI and everything you can imagine. All this craziness is all within this world. And like you said, you have the crafting.
You have the fantastical nature. You're riding dragons. You're going underwater. They have in the trailer gameplay footage. You're swimming underground or in this river and lake and stuff. And it's just... You can see off in the distance these snow-capped mountains, and it's just a beautiful world that you can craft in, you can fight in, you can survive, you can explore.

Chapter 6: Is Fable making a comeback?
I mean, yes, you know, you're going to have to find water and you can build a base and I don't really care about base building. I'm not very good at it and all that stuff, but it's like, where's the action at? Like, where's the excitement for finding water?
That's worse than a stamina bar, dude.
I saw an article, we didn't cover this, but I saw an article the other day that said that half of, I guess there's some early access playing going on or something like that. People that were invited or something. Um, And they said that half the people that are playing are dying from dehydration.
And there's this scramble to try to just find mouse blood because you can extract water from blood, I guess. Oh, yeah, yeah. And so it's like people are just hunting mice trying to live. And I'm like, this sounds horrible. Oh, my gosh. Yeah, that's great. There might need to be some adjustments to the survival difficulty of Dune Awakening. But that one is definitely on my radar. I'm like you.
I want to see more. I want to see that this game is going to command my attention and it's going to be fun to play versus just something that you can grind.
Yeah.
You know, in that regard.
I prefer not to spend my time grinding mice.
Yeah, exactly. For water.
