343 Industries is planning to release more playlists and PvP modes for Halo Infinite by the end of this year. These modes include Fiesta, Tactical Slayer (SWAT), and Free-For-All. However, they won't arrive in time for Halo Infinite's official campaign launch date of December 8. 343 community director John Junyszek announced the developer's plans on Twitter. He also mentions that a Social Slayer playlist with multiple variations of the mode is being worked on as it was the most requested game type. "Our goal for Events is to try new modes prior to adding to playlists," explains Junyszek. "We'll monitor playlist health after the 3 additions above and adjust our offering if needed, but we're excited to make these updates before the holidays." So far, Halo Infinite's multiplayer has received mostly positive attention , while there were early criticisms over its Battle Pass and progression system. Players have called the Battle Pass progre...

With games like Starfield and Baldur's Gate 3 last year having players wax poetic about which of their video game besties they most want to smooch, it can sometimes feel like romance systems are becoming a staple of AAA party-based RPGs. But that's not going to be the case with Avowed, which is opting to forego a dedicated romance system for a focus on "building thoughtful relationships" with companions instead. This comes from an interview IGN did with Avowed game director Carrie Patel, where she confirmed Avowed would not feature romance options, and why: "We are building thoughtful relationships with our companion characters," she said. "Ultimately, I personally am a fan of making that an option, but I feel like if you're going to do it, you really, really have to commit and make sure that you're giving all to fulfilling that in a way that feels both true to the character, but also creates an engaging player experience. So not something w...

Ubisoft has announced that the Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake has been delayed again, this time without a clear new release date in mind. The developers of the remake released a statement on Twitter, explaining that "we have made the decision to shift the release for Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake to a later date. This extra development time will enable our teams to deliver a remake that feels fresh while remaining faithful to the original." The remake had been previously scheduled for a March 18 release, which it had been delayed to after plans for a January 2021 release.

Ubisoft first announced the Sands of Time Remake at its Ubisoft Forward event in September, confirming it would be using the Assassin's Creed Anvil engine and would see the return of actor Yuri Lowenthal as the Prince.
In December, Ubisoft announced the remake's push from January to March, citing the unpredictable development hurdles in the face of COVID-19 and its impact on 2020, saying "However, 2020 has been a year like no other. Today we wanted to let you know that we are taking additional time to work on the game….We believe this is the right call to ensure we deliver a game you will enjoy." With this latest delay, there is no new release date or window, but Ubisoft says it will keep players "posted on the progress." [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/09/10/prince-of-persia-sands-of-time-remake-official-reveal-trailer"] IGN’s original Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time review called the game “a must own -- a soon-to-be-classic worthy of a permanent place in your collection.” The remake is set to cost $39.99 and be available on PS4, Xbox One, and PC via Epic Games Store, the Ubisoft store on Windows, and UPlay+. And there are still no announced plans for PS5 or Xbox Series X versions of the game, but it will be playable on next-gen console via backward compatibility.
