Off The Record Podcast #184 - Ubisoft Implodes, Fable, Metroid Prime 4 Producer Speaks

There's a lot going on in episode 184 of the Off The Record podcast! Dan joins me to talk a bit about the January 2026 Xbox developer showcase including Fable and Forza Horizon 6. Then, I talk about what I've heard went wrong with the Prince of Persia: Sands of Time remake after Ubisoft cancelled it this week along with several other games. After that, we delve into some new Nintendo Switch 2 updates, and comments made by Metroid Prime 4 producer Kensuke Tanabe on the game's development, story, and his planned retirement from the company.

Let me know what you thought of the topics we discussed in the comments and please give us a like if you enjoyed it!

Ugh wanted a playable Sylux moment too. S/o to Tanabe, but yeah dude doesnt always seem to have a grasp on what fans want from the series. Heres hoping things get rectified from here on out.
