Remap Radio

Join Patrick, Janet, Chia, and Danika for Remap Radio, where it’s time for another upsetting trip into the world of “Hey, why did this live service game fail?” with Highguard and “Hey, it really feels like AI is rotting things?” with the news that a video game website was caught publishing an AI-written Resident Evil 9: Requiem review. We’ve also been playing video games, of course, with Janet and Patrick having finished Resident Evil 9, almost everyone dipping their toes into Marathon, and Patrick doing all the grind work in Pokémon Pokopia for his nine-year-old child.

When Adam Stjärnljus and Klas Eriksson met in middle school, little did they know they’d become close friends and decades later decide to chase a wild dream of making a video game together. They were not video game developers, but for years, they toiled away at what would eventually become the cinematic platformer Planet of Lana. A few years later, the sequel is here, and Patrick recently spoke with Stjärnljus and Eriksson about their journey to this moment.

With Rob’s power out, it’s time for the rest of Remap Radio to come together and…well, do some really questionable Mario impressions, for starters. Join Patrick, Chia, Danika, and Janet as they react to the ongoing leadership saga at Xbox, Discord punting on scanning your face, and more. Plus, we’ve got a long segment on the excellent Resident Evil 9: Requiem, thoughts on where Yapyap sits against other friendslop games, and ponder what Janet’s 20 hours with Sons of Sparta says about how she spends her time. Oh, and we answer a few questions, too.

One of 2026’s early standouts is Cairn, a moving and challenging game about slowly scaling a towering mountain, about the sacrifices one makes along the way and in pursuit of even attempting such a journey. Patrick’s been especially taken by Cairn, prompting him to chat with The Game Bakers co-founder and CEO Audrey Leprince about the studio’s three-year journey to develop Cairn and what it makes for a game to have, as the French put it, supplément d’âme.

Patrick has decided to reinvent his old column celebrating good writing about video games, this time in podcast form! Worth Reading is a new reoccurring segment at Remap with a simple pitch: 30 minutes of conversation using a piece of interesting games writing as a launching point. This week, Patrick is happily joined by writer and editor Nicole Clark to discuss her piece for the new publication Mothership, entitled “Hornet’s compassion is the heart of Silksong."
