Romero Games Issues Update After Funding Pulled by Publisher
There may still be some light at the end of the tunnel.

RCE Exploit Found in Call of Duty: WWII (Update)
This exploit may exist across other Call of Duty titles as well.
Update (July 7, 2025): Activision has since pulled the "Xbox PC" version of Call of Duty: WWII. This was the version of the game that was available through PC Game Pass. Call of Duty: WWII is still available on Steam and Battle.net, but I probably wouldn't test either of those out if I were you. There's no saying yet if those versions are also vulnerable.

Destiny 2: The Edge of Fate Cinematic Trailer
An actual look at the new expansion.
Bungie has been relatively quiet about the upcoming expansion for Destiny 2, The Edge of Fate. That's kind of weird given that this new expansion launches on July 15th. Today, Bungie held a developer livestream that finally talked about the new content that is coming, while showing off gameplay from Empire Hunts, a piece of content that Bungie added as part of Destiny 2: Beyond Light from late 2020.
