GI Show – Ni No Kuni II, Inside Valve, ID@Xbox Interview
Welcome back to The Game Informer Show! On this episode, we're covering too many games to count! Okay, maybe it's 6.5. First up, we're joined by Joe Juba to talk about his review for Ni No Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom, then Matt Kato shares his thoughts on A Way Out. We touch on the launch and confusion surrounding Rare's Sea of Thieves before Suriel Vazquez regales us with the inside scoop on his recent trip to Valve to play Artifact. Javy Gwaltney joins the show to talk about Warhammer: Vermintide 2 as well! After some great community emails starring the winner of the #GIShowChallenge, we're joined by Microsoft's Chris Charla to talk about partnering with developers to release games like Cuphead, his days founding IGN, and a surprising amount of Bill Gates talk. We hope you enjoy the show!

I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
