Hey guys, Nick here. You're listening to the official podcast of 4Player Network.com, a weekly live show about video games.

We're proud to say that we've been at this since 2008 and have remained 100% independent since day one.

And that means you'll never have to hear a sponsored ad on this show.

So if you want to support what we do, all we ask is that you consider making our silly little show part of your weekly rotation.

You can tune in when we record these episodes live every Thursday night at 8 p.m. Central Time on

Twitch.tv slash 4Player podcast, all spelled out.

If that's not your thing, though, you can also subscribe to the show on your preferred podcast

service, join our community Discord at discord.g.g. slash 4Player.

Or, if you're so inclined, send us a couple bucks a month on Patreon.

And that's it for shameless self-promotion.

Time to talk about the latest and greatest in the world of video games.

Let's get started.

Hey everybody, welcome to to Four Player Podcast. This is technically episode 8, 8th, 2026. It's the beginning of a new year, and you know what that means.

It is officially time for our preview show. But as we've been doing for the past couple years, I guess, yeah, I guess the past two years, we've kind of combined our fantasy critic draft and our preview show.

It's a great way to just talk about the games that we're excited about coming out in the next year, and we end up covering a lot of ground.

Maybe not as much as we used to, but, you know, we have all the festivities of the game that we're playing going on. So it should be a good time. I am actually joined tonight. I'm Nick Henderson. I'm joined by six other folks here tonight. We have a full fucking house tonight. So I'm just going to, Brad, hello. Say hello. Hello. Hi. What's up?

Chris Davis. I'm going in the order that I see them on my screen. Chris Davis. Oh, hello. Good evening.

Ed Mitchell. Hello, everyone. Nolan Headstrom.

Hey, how's it going, everybody? It's been so long. We've missed you.

But you've been busy.

You've had lots of stuff.

I mean, yeah, but also, you know.
