Are you ready to squad up? Some of your favorite rappers and pop stars are. On Sunday, Call of Duty released a trailer for the newest installment of its video game series, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II, and enlisted a few music industry heavyweights to get fans inspired to play. The trailer kicks off in an airplane hangar, with Lil Baby as a drill sergeant, corralling troops with a cry of “left, left, left, right, left.” His troops — on motorcycles with their engines ready to roar — head out as he shouts “Squad up!” into the hangar.

Hideo Kojima is hinting at a new Kojima Productions game with actress Elle Fanning. The video game designer took to Twitter to further tease the project — which was first announced during the Tokyo Game Show in September — sharing four posters of Fanning with the questions “WHERE AM I?” and “WHO AM I?” Attendees of PAX Australia were then treated to a QR code that brought them to the Kojima Productions website with the poster of the actress, and although nothing is confirmed as of writing, Kojima’s tweets indicate that more information will be released soon. Polygon reports that the teaser may be part of the Death Stranding sequel, which began work in May according to Norman Reedus. Engadget adds, however, that it may be Kojima’s supposedly upcoming horror game Overdose with Margaret Quall...

Following a first look, Criterion and EA have now delivered an official reveal trailer for Need for Speed Unbound. Serving as a reboot for Need for Speed, the latest installment offers a new spin on the street racing series, blending an updated yet familiar gameplay system, realistic cars, and street art-inspired cel-shaded character designs.

CD Projekt Red is working on a new title that looks like it will serve as a sequel to Cyberpunk 2077. The action role-playing game debuted in 2020 after nearly a decade of development, drawing inspiration from influential sci-fi media, including the 1982 Blade Runner film and the Ghost in the Shell anime. The game takes place in an open world called Night City, dominated by the rule of corporations. Players control a mercenary named V from first-person perspective as he battles against a biochip implant in his brain. Since its release, Cyberpunk 2077 has sold almost 20 million copies globally across Xbox and PlayStation consoles and PC, and even received an anime spin-off on Netflix entitled Cyberpunk: Edgerunners. The game studio subtly shared its plans for the Cyberpunk 20...
Just over a month remains before the Pokémon franchise steps into its 9th generation with Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet. In preparation of this, a 14-minute, detailed trailer has been released.

Images have just been leaked showing Electronic Arts‘ upcoming Need for Speed title Need for Speed Unbound. From the teasers, we see a different look applied to this game as the cel-shading gives off visuals that can only be described as Jet Set Radio-meets-anime, but upgraded. One of the surprising leaks arrives in the form of A$AP Rocky‘s character and his DTM-inspired Mercedes-Benz 190E EVO — complete with A$AP license plate, AWGE branding, Testing front wheels, and deep-dish BBS rear wheels (very similar to his actual car in New York). On top of Rocky’s appearance, the game will also feature a special track from the Harlem rapper along with a soundtrack produced by Brodinski.
