Good Morning Coindroppers!Today Chis joins me on the podcast. Mike had an over night trip he had to run for work so he was unavailable. Some quick things before we jump in here, The second winner of the giveaway reached out just before Friday and claimed his game so the 2nd anniversary giveaway is concluded. Our live stream with the devs of Exfil will be this Friday May 9th at 8pm Pacific so make sure you tune in for that! And don't forget to tell your friends and family about us. The more listeners and Patreon supporters we get the more giveaways we can do!Age of BhaaratThe first ever Triple A game made in India about India has been announced and honestly it looks great. An action adventure game set in the folklore and myths of India that is co-op? Sign me up. We're pretty excited for this project because a very lore rich part of the world that has been completely untapped in the gaming world is finally getting some representation and we here at CoinDrop can't wait to explore India's folklore.GUARDS!Guards! isn't a new game, in fact it's been out for a about 14 months but when Chris posted about this one we knew we needed to talk about it. A game with physics based combat and challenging levels with fourplay co-op sounds like a great time. From the looks of it the game can get quiet hilarious at times too. This game quickly moved to the top of my "Must play (with friends)" list.Ragnarok XIf you're like Chris and I, you probably have very fond memories of the old MMORPG from Korea, Ragnarok Online. We'll they made a second game that didn't do to well and are now launching a new game. My only concern is that it's a crossplay mobile PC game. However, Game of Thrones Kingsroad was fun as hell on PC so here's hoping the new Ragnarok is too.QUICKFIREElite Dangerous UpdateInfect CamExtended Marathon Alpha to May 6thGTA VI Pushed to 26 May 26EA Lays off 100 devs that worked on Apex Legends and Star Wars Jedi after canceling 2 projects at RespawnStar wars Eclipse Character Concept Art Leaks and pulled down505 Giving away a free copy of Blades of Fire to anyone celebrating their "Steel" Anniversary (married on 22nd May 2014)Expedition 33's Music made by "A guy who posted his music on Soundcloud"Let us know your thoughts on the latest news Support the showCheckout our Linktree for more CoinDrop Content!

Episode 97 - Give Game, Give Truck, /Alpha
Good Morning Coindroppers!Lets get this out of the way right now. The winner of our giveaway never responded to our messages so we spun again last Friday. This winner ALSO hasn't replied yet and he has till Friday to do so. If he doesn't respond by Friday then we'll spin again! Hopefully we can give this game away before episode 100....Tainted Grail: The Fall of AvalonLike Openworld RPGs like Skyrim and Oblivion? Well do we have a game for you! Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon has been in early access for just about 2 years now and next month they drop their 1.0 update and "officially" release the game. Personally, I'm more interested in this than the jank of Oblivion Remastered.Ghost of YoteiIf you somehow missed the announcement of the sequel to the epic open world samurai/ninja game Ghost of Tsushima then boy do I have something to clue you in on. Ghost of Yotei is shaping up to an amazing game and we get our first glimpse at gameplay. Though to be honest it looks so good it's hard to tell what's gameplay and what's cutscene. If you're thinking about getting a PS5 and THIS doesn't sell you I don't know what will.The Blank SlateOk hear me out, no, this isn't a prank. The Slate Truck is a new EV set to hit the market in Q4 2026. They aim to fill the gap in the market that is small affordable single cab trucks and literally everything about this has me interested. Not only are they aiming for a price tag of under $20,000 after the federal tax credit, but they're making ONE model and a metric fuck ton of accessories to buy and install yourself. The best part is it's all be purposely engineered to be as easy and customizable as possible. Seriously the whole goal is DIY personalization like building a PC and I'm juiced for the idea. I'm highly considering buying one.QUICKFIREDune Awakening Large-Scale Beta May 9th to the 12thClair Obscur: Expedition 33 sells 500,000 copies almost instantlyCrimson Desert will be playable at PAX East May 8th to 11thLet us know your thoughts on the latest news Support the showCheckout our Linktree for more CoinDrop Content!

Episode 96 - Cronos, Oblivion, and Zero Company
Good Morning CoinDroppersToday we've got some great games to talk about and we're very excited to discuss them! but first! Just a reminder that on the 25th at 8pm pst we're gonna be live streaming Exfil with the devs for our community event this month. Now lets get to the content!Cronos: New DawnBloober Team just dropped footage of their upcoming third person shooter horror game and it looks as terrifying as we hoped! Love Dead Space? Love Resident Evil? Love 80 Retro-Future Tech? You'll probably not want to skip this one!Elder Scrolls 3 Oblivion REMAKE!Not sure why everyone keeps calling this (as of date of posting this, now confirmed) upcoming REMAKE a remaster. It's very clearly more than a texture update and a frame rate bump if the leaks are to be suggested. Hopefully Bethesda doesn't call it a remaster.Star Wars Zero CompanyAnother previously leaked game got a confirmation from EA and a short trailer. It appears to be set in the age of Clone Wars with a very strange collection of team members to include a Jedi(?) and a Mandalorian (possibly from death watch). Not much is known at this time but I'm pretty interestedQICK FIRE NEWSFuncom Delays Dune Awakening in the wake of beta feedbackDays Gone UpdateBeneath, a new Lovecraftian FPS survival Horror GameRunescape: Dragonwilds surpise drop early accessSwitch 2 Remains $450 despite tariffs but accessories will see a price hike, Preorders April 24thLet us know your thoughts on the latest news Support the showCheckout our Linktree for more CoinDrop Content!

Nintendo finally gave us the dets on the system we've all been waiting for and the vast majority is all bad. You'd have to be a mega fanboy to be happy about this one and it seems like the general consensus is bad. I'm personally very interested to see sales numbers when this system launches because I can't believe the cost of the hardware and cost of games they landed on. They truly are out of their minds with this one folks.QUICK FIRE NEWSStarfield is highly likely to come to PS5 this yearOnimusha: Way of the Sword is NOT open world and apparently not connected previous gamesRunescape Dragonwilds is a new game set in the Runescape world in a fun new styleLet us know your thoughts on the latest news Support the showCheckout our Linktree for more CoinDrop Content!
