Welcome back to a new edition of the magazine! There’s once again a lot of news to cover from the past month, and here’s the program:
In the News section, we’ll talk about Regicide Rumble VI, Jordan joining Onimaru, the Public Update Preview, the Town Center Tango 2 drama, layoffs at Capture Age, a tournament announcement from GL, and the current status of the LingYuan Cup qualifiers. Then there’ll be a brief look at Franchise News regarding esports tournaments from Age of Mythology and Age of Empires IV.
In the Game News, I’ll tell you about my time playing Stronghold Crusader DE and Wandering Village, and I’ll briefly introduce two new city-building simulations that are set to be released at the end of August.In the Podcast News, I’ll mainly be responding to a few emails I received. And finally, as always, there’s the Tournament Outlook for August 2025.
If you’re enjoying the program and like my other podcasts too, you can support me and the podcast on Patreon or Steady. Both platforms offer different tiers depending on what kind of spare change you have each month. But you can also support me for free by telling others about the podcast, sharing the episodes, and giving them a positive rating on Spotify or wherever you listen. Please enjoy this episode of the Magazine!
