A Doritos bag may have leaked the logo and name for the next Call of Duty, revealing that this new entry will be called Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War. As reported by ModernWarzone.com, TheGamingRevolution received a DM that showcases the new Double XP promotion for what could be 2020's Call of Duty game that we have yet to hear about. Furthermore, it states that the promotion will begin on October 5, 2020, possibly hinting that Black Ops Cold War could be released in late October, that is if last year's Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is any indication. Modern Warfare had a similar Double XP promotion that began on October 1, 2019, and the game was officially released on October 25, 2019. While there has yet to be any confirmation for 2020's Call of Duty, there have been reports that Black Ops Cold War is in-fact the name.

Last month, after a strong PlayStation 5 reveal from Sony, I said there was “more riding on [the] July showcase than there’s ever been for another event in the entire history of the Xbox.” Now that the Xbox Games Showcase is complete , it’s time to evaluate how Microsoft did. Rather than give it a traditional review, I thought it’d be more constructive to highlight the games and moments that worked as well as the ones that didn’t. What Worked Fable : The rumors were all true, and Playground’s Fable was introduced exactly how this longtime Fable fan was hoping it would be: with a clear indication that the new second team at the incredibly talented Forza Horizon studio would preserve the charm and humor that made Lionhead’s series so delightful in the first place. The reboot’s debut cinematic trailer, short as it was, hit all the right notes. It seems to have left Fable 3’s steampunk setting behind (series co-creator Peter Molyneux said he regrets the time jump) and returned to it

Dragon Prince fans, rejoice! Netflix has given the creative team at Wonderstorm the greenlight to produce four more seasons of the animated epic, which will allow the series to complete its saga at the end of Season 7. "We feel amazingly grateful to the fans and community," co-creator Aaron Ehasz told fans during The Dragon Prince Comic-Con@Home panel. Back in 2019, Ehasz and fellow co-creator Justin Richmond laid out their seven-season plan for The Dragon Prince to a crowd of eager fans at San Diego Comic-Con. Now, with Seasons 4, 5, 6, and 7 a go at Netflix, fans can rest assured knowing they're going to get a complete story. While no release date for Season 4 (Book 4) has been revealed, the title of the upcoming season will be called "Earth."

Ghost of Tsushima’s open-world island offers an expansive, varied landscape, from its wintery north to the Golden Forest to seaside cliffs and more. Balancing forests and more open fields became a key component of Ghost of Tsushima’s design, but the world didn’t always start out that way. Speaking to IGN on an episode of our PlayStation show, Podcast Beyond! Creative Director and Art Director Jason Connell explained how, during its development, Ghost’s titular island featured a lot more forestation.  Watch the Podcast Beyond! episode below.

Following rumors that Halo Infinite's multiplayer would not be ready by its launch in Holiday 2020, 343 Industries has spoken up and said that is not true. Brian Jarrard, Halo's community director at 343 Industries, took to Twitter to clear up any confusion that Halo Infinite's multiplayer was delayed, saying "nothing to see here folks, this is not true." This rumor followed the gameplay reveal of Halo Infinite's campaign during the Xbox Games Showcase. 343 did not show any multiplayer and said that reveal would be coming at a later date, which is when the rumors began. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/07/23/halo-infinite-9-minutes-of-campaign-gameplay"] Halo Infinite's reveal gave fans of the series that began in 2001 a look at the future of Halo and Master Chief, showcasing the games open world that will encourage exploration.

Snowcastle Games has announced Earthlock 2, an open-world RPG sequel to the cult-classic turn-based RPG original. It will be released on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, PC, PS4, and Xbox One in 2022. If you're not familiar with the original Earthlock, Snowcastle CEO and co-founder Bendik Stang says that "Earthlock 2 takes place in the same world, but will be a completely different experience compared to the first Earthlock, which was a turn-based RPG. Earthlock 2 will have real time combat, and without revealing too much, fans and newcomers alike can expect a dynamic and unique experience providing the player with meaningful choices that will allow them to leave their mark on the world.

Dragon Quest XI S: Echoes of an Elusive Age - Definitive Edition will release December 4 for PS4, Xbox One, and PC. This massive JRPG contains everything in the original version, plus new character-specific story lines, an orchestral version of the soundtrack, a Japanese voice-acting option, the ability to switch between the standard 3D graphics and 2D pixel-art graphics like the Dragon Quests of yore. While the standard edition of Dragon Quest XI is already available for PS4 and PC, this definitive edition first came to the US on Nintendo Switch. This upcoming release also marks the series' debut on Xbox consoles. Note: the game will be on Xbox Game Pass , so subscribers don't need to buy it separately (unless you want a copy to keep).

Key members of the develoment team behind cult classic RPG series Suikoden have announced a Kickstarter for a spiritual successor, Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes. Eiyuden Chronicle will take the form of a JRPG with a 2.5D visual style, 100 heroes to recruit (all rendered in pixel-art form), and a 'fortress building system' underpinning the story. As you might expect, it's drawing heavily on the style that won Suikoden its fans in the first place, but with a few modern twists. Battles will be turn-based with parties of six characters, and boss battles will see the camera angle shift based on the environment - which you can see in a short teaser below: [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/07/24/eiyuden-chronicle-hundred-heroes-gameplay-teaser"] Eiyuden Chronicle's story will be written by Suikoden 1 and 2 writer Yoshitaka Murayama, with character design, system design, and direction all handled by other ex-Suikoden team members.

Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time is canonically set after the events of the third game, Crash Bandicoot: Warped. Despite the  slew of main series Crash games  that have come out since then, it arrives nearly 12 years later. Knowing that, the subtitle “It’s About Time” makes perfect sense. I grew up playing the original trilogy and enjoyed my nostalgic romp through the remaster. It was fun (and frustrating) to retread those familiar levels again with a fresh coat of paint, but it was a reminder of how far games have come since then. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/07/24/crash-bandicoot-4-its-about-time-preview"] I didn’t expect the N. Sane Trilogy to push the series forward, but it did raise the question: What would a contemporary Crash Bandicoot game look like? After my hands-on time, it looks like Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time might strike all the right chords. It has all the familiar markings of the first three games: linear level design that demands p

Red Dead Online is set to receive a “massive” update next week that adds a new Frontier Pursuit as well as “tons” of community-requested features.

In addition, the update adds a new Outlaw Pass, a variety of community requested features and fixes, as well as a vague promise of more to discover in the months to come. The update comes in the wake of in-game protests by players upset by the lack of updates for Red Dead Online.

I first fell in love with battle royale games at the launch of H1Z1 in 2015 and have been fascinated by watching good ideas evolve the genre and bad ones flame out ever since. Enter Hyper Scape, currently in open beta – which, for a free-to-play game, translates into “it’s out.” Ubisoft claims this is the “future of battle royale” and, with its flashy sci-fi setting and urban environments, it certainly looks the part. But in the present, it’s overstuffed: in trying to differentiate itself, Hyper Scape adds loads of unique gameplay mechanics, but none of these twists really stick out as outstanding improvements. The poorly balanced result is instead full of frustrating gun fights and a fundamental misunderstanding of what makes the genre fun. On the surface, Hyper Scape’s 99-player battle royale currently sticks to the last-man-or-team-standing formula with just two game modes: solos and three-player squads. The map, however, breaks the mold by being a polished cityscape that’s what I

Ghost of Tsushima has become PlayStation 4's fastest-selling first-party original IP debut with over 2.4 million units sold through globally in the first three days following its July 17, 2020, release date.

Halo Infinite's planned public flighting program may be reduced in scope, or not happen at all due to the "unprecedented challenges" to development this year. When announced in 2018, developer 343 Industries said it intended to run an "early flighting program" for Infinite, in a similar way to how the community has been able to test early versions of updates to Halo: The Master Chief Collection. In an update posted to the Halo Waypoint blog , Halo Infinite Studio Head Chris Lee noted that the beta program for Halo Infinite has been changed as the studio reacts to current circumstances. "With Halo Infinite, we are also committed to building the game in partnership with our community but given the unprecedented challenges of this year, we’re not quite where we expected to be in terms of broader public flighting," Lee's statement reads. "While not the full program we had envisioned, we have been working very closely with the community on nearly e

The Halo Infinite demo debuted during last night's Xbox Games Showcase was a work-in-progress build, running on a PC with equivalent specs to the Xbox Series X. In an interview with Inside Gaming , Xbox Marketing GM Aaron Greenberg responded to criticism about Infinite's graphics, saying: "Listen, we're in the middle of a global pandemic. It's July, we're far from [launch in] Holiday, you're seeing a work-in-progress game." He continued by saying that the stream itself may be part of the response: "It's very hard to show the full power and graphical fidelity of what Xbox Series X will be able to deliver for you over a stream. Go back and look at it in 4K 60," referring to the fact that the stream was delivered live in 1080p, but the gameplay premiere can be viewed in 4K 60 FPS on the Halo YouTube channel.

Obsidian has announced Peril on Gorgon, the first of two narrative DLC expansions for The Outer Worlds. It will be released for PS4, Xbox One and PC versions of the game on September 9.
