  Daybreak Cancels Marvel MMO

  Funds will now move to several smaller projects instead of one big game.
  
  Last year, a Marvel MMO was announced to be in development at Daybreak Game Company. This is the same studio that made DC Universe Online which still continues to operate to my surprise.
  
  Daybreak's parent company, Enad Global 7, says that instead of dumping a ton of money into making one big game, they will instead spread that money out across several smaller projects. Some of these "smaller...

  Real Witcher School Has License Pulled by CD Projekt Red

  The alt-right might have something to do with it, because of course.
  
  There once existed a real Witcher school in Poland. I say "once" because the school had its license pulled by CD Projekt Red back in February. The reason for the license getting pulled may be due to one of the school's staff belonging to a prominent alt-right group.
  
  The Witcher school in question was named 5 Żywiołów, or 5 Elements. It began in 2015 and held roughly 40 events over seven years...

  Is Overwatch 2 Doomed to Fail?

  Reinventing a service or game is never easy, whilst there are a few that have done it in the past, it’s often not something that turns out all that well. There’s a reason why many services have a certain formula and approach that they stick to and is proven to work. Many of the biggest genres like betting for example will seem familiar in how they operate and even in the bonuses as players can check BetMGM Registration code in Ontario for bonuses for example – operators won’t try to reinvent...

  To Nobody's Surprise Hazard Zone Support is Ending for Battlefield 2042

  This is the least shocking news ever.
  
  DICE announced that they are no longer going to support or release new content for the Hazard Zone mode in Battlefield 2042.
  
  Now, I know what you're thinking: "How could they end support for something that they never supported in the first place?" And you would be correct in asking that rhetorical question. What this essentially means is that DICE isn't going to convert any new maps into Hazard Zone variants. The mode will...

  Well, sort of.
  
  Year 7 Season 2 for Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege will begin on June 7. When it arrives, it will feature a crossover with the Yakuza franchise that probably nobody saw coming.

  Destiny 2 Season 17 Trailer Released Ahead of Schedule

  PlayStation Japan did an oopsie.
  
  Bungie has been very cagey about releasing any information regarding Season 17 for Destiny 2. This silence is very unlike the studio, as they commonly have massive information drops days if not weeks ahead of a new Season. In fact, the plan was to not even release the Season 17 trailer until mere hours before the Season begins on Tuesday, May 24.
  
  Leave it up to forces outside of their control to ruin some big surprises for players. PlayStation...
