TheXboxHub Official Podcast Episode 158: Dead Island 2 and Diablo IV

-

Best of 2025

What do Dead Island 2 and Diablo IV have in common? Well they’re hotly anticipated games and some of our team had a hands-on with both. Furthermore, there’s a ton of news to discuss including delistings, trailers and release dates, alongside the titles played recently such as Tchia. So, expect plenty of insight during TheXboxHub Official Podcast Episode 158. 

This week’s musings come courtesy of Gareth, Paul, and Richard, starting with what they’ve been watching. You’ll get the low-down on the newest instalment of an iconic slasher film series, Scream VI, and Amazon Prime Video’s psychological thriller TV show, Swarm. And then it’s time for games.

Whether you want to discover more about the adrenaline-fueled Shadow Warrior 3, the city-building experience Anno 1800, the tropical open-world of Tchia, the dark metroidvania The Guise, the rhythmic beats of Theatrhythm Final Bar Line, or the sneaky spy multiplayer offering Deceive Inc., we’ve got you covered. Additionally, Dead Island 2, Diablo IV and Exoprimal share the spotlight as the team delves into how the games play ahead of their future release.

In terms of news, the rumoured Spider-Man 2 release date pops up as well as EA’s plan to delist a few Battlefield titles. Also on the agenda is the new gameplay trailer for Lies of P, a stunning trailer for Project M, a date for Crash Team Rumble and the announcement of when Counter-Strike 2 will arrive.

Been gaming casually since the SNES as a youngster but found my true passion for games on the Playstation 1 (the forbidden word ooo). My addiction grew to its pinnacle with the purchase of an Xbox 360 & Xbox Live Service. A recovering GS hunter that will still play literally any game.
