What's Going On With Ubisoft?

Author: Game Informer January 24, 2026 Duration: 1:23:11
It's a news-heavy week on The Game Informer Show, as Ubisoft announced some major changes to its roadmap over the coming years amid numerous delays and game cancellations. Alex, Marcus, and Eric get together to break all that down in the last half of the show, and try to make light of how the Far Cry and Assassin's Creed publisher got here.

Before that, though, the crew talks about two fascinating new indie games they've been playing. Marcus dives into MIO: Memories In Orbit, a new Metroidvania that might be Hollow Knight-levels of difficult. Eric, meanwhile, has been testing his mental mettle with TR-49, Inkle's new mystery game that tasks players with tearing their way through a strange machine.

The Game Informer Show is where that weekly chat lives, a place to dig into the headlines, dissect new releases, and sometimes get a first look at what's coming next. It feels less like a formal broadcast and more like pulling up a chair with friends who happen to have their fingers on the pulse of the entire video game world. You'll hear their honest reactions to the week's biggest news, thoughtful reviews that go beyond a simple score, and discussions that can jump from a beloved classic to a hot new indie title in a single segment. The regular crew is often joined by other editors from Game Informer's staff, as well as developers and special guests who bring unique insider perspectives. Tuning into this podcast means getting a comprehensive, entertaining, and deeply informed take on the games you're playing now and the ones you'll be excited about tomorrow. It's a consistent weekly check-in for anyone who wants to stay connected to the broader culture and business of gaming, all delivered with a blend of expertise and genuine enthusiasm that makes the industry feel a little smaller and a lot more interesting.
