Back in early March, 343 Industries disappointed many fans by announcing that campaign co-op won’t be arriving initially with season two of Halo Infinite, and no other launch dates for the feature were provided at the time. Luckily, the studio has now revealed a release window for the coveted mode. As part of the content roadmap for the game for the rest of 2022, 343 Industries revealed earlier last week that campaign co-op will be making its debut during season two of the game. The targeted release date is now scheduled for late August, which will coincide with a new feature that allows you to replay specific levels in the campaign as well, although co-op mode will only be available for network-connected games first. Those who wish to play together on split-screen will have to wait for Se...

Eight years after the original episodic game was released, Tales from the Borderlands is finally getting a second installment from Gearbox. Announced over at PAX East, details surrounding the upcoming sequel remain scarce at the moment but Gearbox promises a “new adventure” as well as “new characters,” and “new tales.” The game will most likely take the same episodic approach as the original Telltale Games project, a genre that has proven popular among fans since The Wolf Among Us and The Walking Dead series. Unlike before, however, Gearbox will be developing the game in-house this time. As for those unfamiliar with the original game, Tales from the Borderlands was originally released across 2014 and 2015, featuring an episodic adventure that revolved around Hyperion em...

After more than five years since Splatoon 2 came out on the Nintendo Switch, we’re finally getting a release date for Splatoon 3. The long-awaited sequel for the third-person shooter is now scheduled to arrive this September, escaping the delays that have hit another highly-anticipated sequel for The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Much like its predecessors, the new installment will focus on Inklings and Octolings as the two try to cover as much of the arena as possible in their own squad’s paint color. You can expect new weapons, special abilities and characters for the upcoming release as well as a single-player campaign and a co-op mode called Salmon Run, where you’ll fight off oncoming waves of Salmonoids to earn Power Eggs and Golden Eggs. As seen in the clip abov...

Fans have long been asking for more, and now 343 Industries has finally answered by providing the 2022 content roadmap for Halo Infinite. The game will be launching its second season on May 3, and 343 Industries says that the upcoming season will feature two new maps named Catalyst and Breaker, three new game modes including King of the Hill, Land Grab and Last Spartan Standing, and bonus “narrative events” involving “Interference” and “Alpha Pack” releases, although little has been revealed about this latter addition for now. Notably, Forge will also be returning as part of an open beta test for season two, followed by even more maps, modes and narrative events for season three, as well as new sandbox items, another 100-tier battle pass, and even more quality-of-life improvements.

Earlier last month, Sony confirmed rumors that it’ll be releasing a game pass alternative through revamping its current PlayStation Plus service, and now the gaming giant has finally announced the launch dates for the new program, which will offer more than 700 titles initially.

Shortly after, the Americas will be getting it on June 13, with Europe finally getting it on June 22. No particular reasons were given for the disparity in launch dates, although it’s likely due to licensing issues across the different regions. Additionally, PlayStation will also be expanding its cloud streaming service to ...

Shortly after leaks began surfacing online, Ubisoft has taken back the steering wheel by now officially announcing its latest project: codenamed Project Q. Taking to Twitter to announce the upcoming game, the French video game studio calls Project Q a “team battle arena” that will let “players truly own the experience,” although no other specifics were given about its gameplay. However, Ubisoft did emphasize that the game will not be a battle royale title and no NFTs are planned for it, a subject matter which has caused great controversy among the company’s fanbase in recent months. While most details remain scarce at the moment, prior leaks showcase two different game modes for Project Q. A “Showdown” mode is meant to function like a mini battle royale while a “Battle Zone” mode...

Rocket League is adding a limited-time battle royale mode, dubbed Knockout Bash, to its usual vehicular soccer gameplay. The new mode, which will be available to play for two weeks beginning on April 27, will see eight players face off against each other inside an ever-shrinking “Safezone” in an effort to be the last one standing. Players must defend themselves by ramming into opposing vehicles, blocking attacks and throwing opponents across the arena; they will only be eliminated once they have been knocked out three times, according to Engadget. Knockout Bash will include several hazards, including spikes and laser grids, that will immediately knock out players. Additionally, at the six-minute mark, the game will change into a “Sudden KO” mode, during which attacks will be more powerful ...
