This week's episode of The Game Informer Show dedicates significant time to an extensive playthrough of Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave. Host Eric spent over 130 hours with Intelligent Systems' latest strategy-RPG, discussing whether the substantial time investment proved worthwhile.
Following the discussion on Fire Emblem, the podcast briefly touches upon early impressions of Control Resonant. Further review insights for this title are anticipated at a later date. The episode also includes a report from Alex, who attended BlizzCon 2026. Attendees were able to see major announcements and reveals from the convention, as well as get hands-on experience with the beta for the new World of Warcraft: Forever expansion.
