Tetracast 350: RPG Site Direct

Welcome to the latest edition of the Tetracast, RPG Site's regular, seemingly weekly podcast!

In this news-focused episode, Bryan, Josh, and Chao hold down the fort while James and Adam hang out with the cool kids in Los Angeles. The crew covers what has been announced so far at Summer Game Fest, with a whole lot of details on upcoming games, especially indie titles.

News this week is headlined by a new title for the upcoming Dragon Age game, now Dragon Age: The Veilguard. Metaphor: ReFantazio goes into new details about its bond and archetype systems. We have a date for Persona 3 Reload:  Episode Aigis, and more demos than we know what to do with.

This edition of the Tetracast features Bryan Vitale (@ZeoMassicot), Josh Torres (@HD_Kirin), and Chao Min Wu. You can find links to the full episode of the podcast below along with our RSS feed, and also subscribe to us on iTunes and follow on Spotify!
