Respawn Rant

We dig into why Pragmata has carried so much baggage before launch, and how its eerie lunar-station world gives the game a real identity. The episode also breaks down its ambitious dual-character combat loop, where shooting and hacking happen at the same time under constant pressure.

Step into the sands of AlUla with us as we explore Assassin’s Creed Mirage: Valley of Memory, Ubisoft’s free DLC expansion. In this episode, we uncover Basim’s emotional journey, the archaeological wonders recreated in-game, and the gameplay innovations that refine Mirage’s stealth-driven design. From family secrets to cultural preservation, this expansion blends history and narrative in ways that redefine what a free update can deliver. Join us for a deep dive into quests, mechanics, soundtrack, and the industry impact of Ubisoft’s bold move.

In this episode of Respawn Rant, we dive headfirst into Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 and ask the big question: did this game finally break the franchise? We tear into its always-online campaign that refuses to respect your time, dig through Zombies to see whether nostalgia can really carry a mode this gated and grindy, and break down a surprisingly solid multiplayer that’s stuck inside a messy, controversial package. We’ll also look at the current player situation – who’s still hanging around in the lobbies, who already bounced, and what that says about the future of Call of Duty. If you’ve ever rage-quit a CoD match and wondered “why do I keep coming back?”, this episode is for you.
