Episode 127 of the Retro Rebel Podcast. It’s the first recording of 2021 and man, it’s been a rollercoaster year for the world and games already at just two weeks in. For some positive vibes, we thought we’d look at all the 2021 game releases that we’re looking forward to.
Retro Rebel Podcast is hosted by Amanda Fox and Stacy Bishop. Each week they take a deep dive into the gaming industry and discuss news stories, the current games they are playing as well as the topic of the week.

What we’re playing
Amanda- I played a lot over the last few weeks because I got the vids. So I went through my game catalogue to do a clear out. I played Control, which was too weird for me and beat about half of Thronebreaker a Witcher spinoff game (the I got glitched behind 2 NPCS and gave up) and I also beat Cyberpunk 2077. We will talk about it more later, but let me say… I hated the end so much I requested a refund. I have never done that before.
Gaming News
Cyberpunk to get standalone multiplayer mode – It’s expected two of the new modes will be heist and deathmatch. The first is suspected to be a PvE coop encounter and the second PvP.

Main Topic – Games to look forward to in 2021
On the podcast we have discussed in detail why these are the games we are looking forward to in 2021.
Amanda
- Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 – I played the LARP back in college, so I’m keen to try out the game.
- Far Cry 6 – I’m not a huge fan of the Far Cry games ( they can be a bit same-y) but I’m interested in seeing what Giancarlo Esposito does with the title role.
- Halo: Infinite – I’ve played every halo (I think) and don’t plan on stopping at this one.
- Skull and Bones – I’ll try it if only to see if it’s better for me than the dreaded Sea of Thieves.
- Dying Light 2 – It MAY come out in 2021, and if it does, I’m there. I loved the first one.
- Werewolf: The Apocalypse – Earthblood – I don’t know, it looked interesting and I played a few tabletop sessions of this in college — hoping it comes on game pass.
Stacy

- 12 minutes
