About this episode

The episode discusses the overwhelming game releases of 2026 and features conversations about South of Midnight and Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2.

2026 is shaping up to be one of the most overwhelming years in gaming history, and on this episode of The Inner Gamer we break down how we’re going to survive it—from surprise Q1 hits to the inevitable GTA VI takeover. We also dig into three big conversations: why South of Midnight feels more like a vibe than a game, whether Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is too realistic to be fun, and if Ubisoft is running out of time to save itself.
