  The Lords of the Fallen Announced

  It's like Lords of the Fallen 2.

This is a sequel to Lords of the Fallen from 2014, which itself is a fantasy action-RPG in the same vein as Dark Souls. While the first game was developed by CI Games and Deck 13, this sequel is being developed by HEXWORKS.
  
  The Lords of the Fallen was revealed with a three-minute cinematic trailer (seen below). It shows off the game's new dark fantasy setting....

  Destiny 2: Lightfall Reveal Trailer, Season of Plunder Launch

  Swing through a neon-soaked city on Neptune.
  
  Earlier, Bungie showed off the first look at the next Destiny 2 expansion, Lightfall. The new expansion will be out on February 28, 2023 and will be the "penultimate chapter of Destiny 2's Light and Darkness saga." This expansion will obviously continue the overarching story that started back with the original Destiny.
  
  In Lightfall, players will go up against Calus, the former emperor of the Cabal. Oh, and the Pyramid...

  A couple of the most requested features are finally being added to the Destiny franchise.
  
  Ever since the early days of the first Destiny, fans have been begging Bungie to add in features like an in-game looking for group (LFG) system along with a loadout system. As part of the big Bungie livestream focused on Destiny 2: Lightfall, the game's next major expansion, Bungie announced that both of these much-requested features are finally being added to the game.

  Map Reworks of Renewal and Orbital Coming Soon to Battlefield 2042

  Plus, the first details on what to expect in Season 2.
  
  DICE released a new "Development Update" video today (seen below) for Battlefield 2042. During the video, the team talked ever so briefly about what was coming in Season 2 for the game, which is presumably expected to begin in early September after Season 1 comes to an end.
  
  The studio says that Specialists will be put into traditional Battlefield Classes in the future. The Specialists will also have a grittier...

  DICE to Bring Back Classes in Battlefield 2042 in Season 3

  Four classes, each with restricted loadouts to return to the franchise.
  
  Among the many shortcomings in Battlefield 2042, one in particular has stood out. No, I'm not talking about the bugs, nor the map design, nor the lack of maps, nor the lack of weapons, nor <insert anything from the laundry list of items here>. I am, of course, talking about the Specialists.
  
  Players have lamented the removal of the Battlefield staple of having distinct classes. With the Specialist...

  New Saints Row is Apparently a Broken Mess

  The reviews are in and critics agree: Yikes!
  
  If you were debating on picking up the new Saints Row game when it comes out on August 23, 2022 you should probably not get it. Just don't buy it. In fact, I'd probably wait maybe a year or so before picking it up. Not only will the game more than likely be out on Steam at that point for you PC users, but it will probably also be a lot less buggy. It will probably also be available for a big discount.

  Watch Almost 20 Seconds of The Last of Us HBO Series

  We finally get a look at The Last of Us in a format that isn't a still image.
  
  For those who have been craving literally any new media from the upcoming HBO series for The Last of Us, today is your lucky day. HBO showed us nearly 20 whole seconds of footage from the upcoming show. Admittedly it's not much at all, it's still quite a bit more than the single still image we were given back in September 2021.
  
  If still images are more your speed though, HBO has you covered there...

  Diablo 4 Ditches Loot Boxes for Battle Passes

  Your money has no power here.
  
  Blizzard says that instead of any sort of loot box mechanics in Diablo 4, they will instead embrace the Season Pass system. This makes a lot of sense seeing as how Blizzard also announced the removal of loot boxes from Overwatch and Overwatch 2 earlier this month.
  
  Blizzard made this announcement as part of its latest development update. They also confirmed that Diablo 4 will be a full-priced title, so while you are free to spend money on cosmetics...
