Biomutant developer Experiment 101 has revealed that it’s already working on the game’s first major update. The main goal of this one is to address some of the feedback from players who played the game at launch. In a series of Tweets, the developer specifically addressed dialogue pacing, the game’s overly verbose narrator, general difficulty, and even options like the ability to turn off depth of field and motion blur....

First, developer Game Science has moved the game to Epic’s Unreal Engine 5, just in case visuals weren’t already impressive enough on the previous iteration. Today’s trailer brings about 13 minutes of new footage, mostly showing off a couple of different boss fights in new environments. We don’t get much exploration this time around, though previous trailers did show a fair bit of that. What we do see plenty more of, however, is the game’s HUD and icons, which appear more prominently this time around....

Activision has finally revealed all remaining details about Season One of Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War. Not only is this the start of the post-launch content release schedule for Treyarch’s game, it’s also the first time Black Ops Cold War will fully merge with Warzone.

Disney and Fortnite have been enjoying a pretty cosy relationship this month. Ever Since the launch of Season 3 at the start of December, the ongoing Winterfest event has seen a whole host of Disney characters battling that royale. Following the release of Spider-Man: No Way Home, skins from the film have made it into the game, including a mask-less Spider-Man and Zendaya. Boba Fett isn’t the only tasty new treat here for Fortnite players....

There are seemingly endless weapons and gear to collect in Borderlands 3 and the latest DLC is no exception. Just like we saw in the previous DLC, Bounty of Blood has a host of new Legendary weapons and gear that you’ll be able to find by completing missions and defeating bosses. While you might have a few firm favourites in your arsenal already, there are definitely a few new guns you’ll want to add into the mix....

Valve visual effects developer Matthew Wilde originally shared his Half-Life: Alyx booze shader on Twitter, which is one of many updates that have been added to Alyx since it launched back in March. Check out the tweet below. “Spent a good chunk of lock-down doing this important work,” writes Wilde. “Boozy liquid shader, now available in the latest update for Half-Life: Alyx. You can check out the Half-Life: Alyx booze shader below....

Perhaps what is even better news for fans is the fact that they are playable right now. In addition to this, Arc System Works also reminded fans that Bridget is not the only new character to be coming to the game during Season 2, with three more brand new characters expected to be introduced over the coming months. Bridget made their first playable appearance in Guilty Gear X2, with their last appearance as a playable character in Guilty Gear XX Core Plus R....

As the meta of Call of Duty: Warzone settles, a general consensus has been reached on the best loadouts, with some light exceptions here and there. What players didn’t count on, however, was certain weapon blueprints behaving differently from the main weapon they’re based on. Reddit user ChickenYug has identified a bug with an EBR-14 blueprint called Line Breaker. Line Breaker is acquired through the premium tier of the Battle Pass, and it appears to have its headshot damage boosted significantly....

Ahead of the big nuke event that’s set to make some big changes to the map in Call of Duty: Warzone on April 21, Activision has announced an overview of what we can expect from the latest Season of the game from April 22 onwards. There’s going to be a big change-up to the Verdansk map, which is going to get more 80’s themed (in line with Black Ops Cold War) and we’re going to get a new LTM called Hunt For Adler, which will introduce the Black Ops Cold War cast into the Warzone map as the crew searches for the eponymous US agent....

The pre-load for the Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War alpha is now live on PS4, as promised. It’s a roughly 27GB download, and it includes a fair bit of content. The Black Ops Cold War multiplayer alpha kicks off today at 10am PT, 1pm ET, 6pm BST - which is the usual time for server updates in Warzone/Modern Warfare. The alpha has three 6v6 maps, and two 12v12 Combined Arms maps for a total of five....

Starting Friday, July 31 at 10am PT, 1pm ET, 6pm UK all multiplayer modes across both games will benefit from double XP, weapon XP and double Battle Pass tier progression.

Season 5 kicks off next week in Call of Duty: Warzone, and Black Ops Cold War. This week, Treyarch, and Raven revealed what players can look forward to in both games. On the Black Ops Cold War multiplayer side, there’s the new Double Agent mode, a bunch of new maps, new weapons and more. But one new addition to Warzone makes the Season 5 patch one of the most interesting for the battle royale mode - and that is the arrival of unique Warzone perks....

Zombies continue to move around in Warzone’s Verdansk map. After initially starting out in the crashed ship, and later the Prison, the undead have now arrived at the Hospital. As with all previous arrivals, this one also limits zombies to just their new spot, at the Hospital. In other words, it’s not quite an outbreak as it is selective incursions by our undead friends. Players who fought the zombies at either of the previous locations should be familiar with the protocol....

During a post-earnings call with investors, Activision executives revealed a few interesting details about the remainder of the company’s FY2020. With some stellar results in the first quarter off the back of Warzone and in-game purchases, Activision is looking to the future. Reports about the seemingly troubled development of Call of Duty 2020 suggested that we may not get a premium Call of Duty game this year. Activision has other plans, however, as the company once again confirmed that Call of Duty 2020 - yet to be revealed - “already looks great” and is on track for release in the second half of the year....

According to the developer, it checked several of the most popular mods to see if they will work after the update. So far, 71 mods will work, but the studio also notes that while the list may not be 100%, it gives you an idea of what to expect (thanks, PC Gamer). The mods are listed on this spreadsheet, and next to them are the folders where they can be found....

The video for Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart shows our playable hero, and newcomer Rivet, jumping between dimensions, handling a varied arsenal, and trying to save the galaxy from Nefarious. Today’s video provided the most in-depth look yet at the game, and it looks rather nice, with plenty of detail bringing Nefarious City to life, as well as Rivet’s home base on the alternate dimension Sargasso. Due to the near-instant loading feature of PS5, it will be smooth sailing when jumping through rifts, using Ratchet’s Rift Tether, and when dealing with dimensional shifts, and pocket dimensions....

343 Industries has revealed the box art for Halo Infinite ahead of its gameplay debut during tomorrow’s Xbox Showcase. If you look closely at Master Chief’s left arm, you will see some sort of contraption which could be the grappling hook Halo insider Klobrille addressed yesterday. Also, if you look at the reflection Master Chief’s visor you will see what appears to be the possible enemy in the game - which could be The Banished....

Torn Banner Studios will host a cross-play closed beta for its upcoming multiplayer first-person slasher Chivalry 2 in April. The closed beta will feature cross-play across all platforms allowing players to face-off on the battlefield together regardless of platform. You can expect 64-player mass-scale combat, an expanded arsenal featuring the new subclass system, four base classes expand to 12 subclasses, and a variety of heavy siege engines. You will also utilize traps to defend, and cause damage using “found items” on the battlefield such as an empty chalice or even a flaming chicken....

Two new rather powerful killstreaks have been added into Call of Duty: Warzone. As spotted by CoD leaks site Modern Warzone, the first of these is Foresight, a new killstreak that costs $20,000 to purchase from Containment Monitor Stations and allows teams to see every circle for the remainder of a match when used. This definitely gives players a huge advantage when it comes to being the last ones standing as the position of the playzone can be the deciding factor in victory in battle royale games....
