After reviving the Modern Warfare franchise back in 2019, Call of Duty fans have since been anticipating a sequel, and now a potential reveal date has finally leaked for Activision‘s Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. According to Call of Duty insider @TheGhostofHope over on Twitter, the studio will be revealing the new game on May 30, although his tweet simply included the date and a GIF of Captain Price in the dark woods with his night-vision goggles on without elaborating further on where he came across that date, what exactly the game will look like and when it’ll ultimately be released. Despite the lack of more context, the new leak corroborates prior suggestions from fellow insider Tom Henderson, who claimed at the end of April that the reveal would come at the end o...
New Skate 4 leaks now suggest that players will be able to build custom skateparks together in the game. According to VentureBeat‘s Jeff Grubb — who recently leaked what appeared to be pre-alpha gameplay footage of the upcoming title — Skate 4 will be placing greater emphasis on player-generated content, no doubt learning from the success of both GTA Online‘s custom races and Halo‘s fan-favorite Forge mode. To drive this initiative, the highly-anticipated sequel will be offering fans a new game mode called “Free Skate,” which allows players to join the same server and build custom skateparks out of thin air. You’ll be free to add or take away elements like ramps in real-time and create the perfect skate arena for you and your friends. Free Skate aside, Skate 4...
Private equity firm Blackstone Group is now eyeing a potential acquisition of Ubisoft. According to a new report from Bloomberg, the French studio behind the Assassin’s Creed and Rainbow Six franchises has been looking to sell in recent months and has now attracted the attention of several private equity firms including the Blackstone Group and KKR & Co, the two largest in the world. Both firms have “preliminary takeover interest” but Ubisoft has not entered “any serious negotiations with potential acquirers” just yet. Kotaku also points out that the gaming giant has been “working closely with several outside consultancy firms” to audit its business, noting that while it’s common practice for companies to do this to become more profitable, sources also suggest that Ubisoft is...
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...
