Some changes include a new AI faction, new circle mechanics, new gulag system, and more.

Some of the first details for Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0 came to light today from Activision and Infinity Ward. Warzone 2.0 is being billed as a "fully revamped experience" that has been built from the ground up for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S hardware. Set to launch on November 16, Warzone 2.0 will still be free-to-play just as its predecessor is.

Warzone 2.0 takes...

So long loot boxes, hello overpriced microtransactions.

When Overwatch 2 launches later this year, the loot boxes we have all come to know and hate will be no more. Replacing the RNG-filled boxes will be seasonal Battle Passes and apparently some optional cosmetic microtransactions that will allow you to, presumably, buy the skins you want without delay.

This all sounds super great, until you hear that Blizzard recently sent out a survey that seems to suggest they are...

Popular characters and a free-to-play model make for a good combination.

Just yesterday, platform fighter MultiVersus launched into open beta. So far, the response from gamers has been overwhelmingly positive. The new brawler from Warner Bros. Games and Player First Games is hitting peaks in excess of 152,000 players just on Steam.

According to Steam's "most played" charts, this places MultiVersus in fourth place, behind Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, Dota...

A bug caused several players to accidentally purchase premium cosmetic items.

Fall Guys recently made a very successful transition from a paid title to a free-to-play game for PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo, and PC platforms. The jump to F2P didn't come without a few bumps though. The servers struggled to meet the increased player demand in the days following the game's release and more recently a bug popped up that caused some players to unintentionally buy items from the store instead...

The first season offers a variety of rewards, as seasons tend to do.

YAGER's first-person extraction shooter, The Cycle: Frontier, just launched its first official season earlier today. This season is said to offer "new rewards and surprises" for those who engage in the PvE and PvP action that is present in The Cycle: Frontier.

There is something called the Fortuna Pass, which allows players to "earn Aurum, Salvage tokens, and other free goodies to help...

It's time for good news/bad news!

Mediatonic confirmed what we already knew would be happening today: Fall Guys has been pulled from Steam. This move has been in the works for a while now following Mediatonic's acquisition by Epic Games back in March 2021. Just as the case was with Rocket League, Fall Guys on Steam will no longer be able to be purchased, but if you previously owned the game there it will continue to receive updates and content drops same as on any other platform....

See what new content is expected into 2023.

Blizzard talks about the Overwatch 2 Battle Pass, the scoreboard system, and even the roadmap of future content for Season 1, Season 2, and into 2023. This news all comes courtesy of a new PlayStation Blog entry from Blizzard.

Before getting into the planned content, let's just take a moment to remind you that there will be an Overwatch 2 beta happening June 28. By the way, registrations for that beta are now open. The game itself...

This follows word that Overwatch 2 will be free-to-play.

We have a double dose of Overwatch 2 news to share today. First off is word that Overwatch 2 will be a free-to-play release and it will be out on October 4. This announcement came alongside the reveal of a new hero named Junker Queen.

Junker Queen is a new tank class and the 34th hero included in the franchise.

More details about the beta were said to be announced during a live reveal event taking place...

PvPvE action in persistent maps.

The pre-season for YAGER's first-person "extraction shooter" The Cycle: Frontier is now available through Steam and Epic Games Store. This is a free-to-play game that blends PvE combat with PvP in a sci-fi world that features persistent maps and seemingly seamless matchmaking.

YAGER is calling this release the "pre-season" because the first season begins on June 22. When Season 1 launches on the 22nd it will offer up...

A re-launch of the "dodgebrawl" game comes with some big changes.

Last year, EA and developer Velan Studios launched Knockout City. This rather intense take on the sport of dodgeball was pretty great, but the fact that it came with a price tag meant that it was leaving a lot of potential players on the table. The price was, undoubtedly, left up to publisher EA and they decided that a full free-to-play experience wasn't going to cut it.

Well, EA is apparently...

EA is apparently disappointed with how poor Battlefield 2042 is performing.

According to leaker Tom Henderson, EA is pretty disappointed with how Battlefield 2042 is performing. Henderson says that the publisher is now "looking at all the options" when it comes to the game. This includes the possibility that the game will go the route of a free-to-play title, at least in some capacity.

Henderson failed to elaborate on these remarks and says he'll have "more...

Today's delay focuses on the closed beta test that was expected to go live today. The delay was announced on Twitter. A specific reason for the delay...

New engine, new name, new release, new pricing model.

Konami has officially announced that their Pro Evolution Soccer (PES) is no more.

Battles will take place amongst factions from various Tom Clancy universes.

Ubisoft has officially announced XDefiant, an upcoming F2P, 6 vs 6 multiplayer shooter that features factions from multiple Tom Clancy universes. Ubisoft San Francisco, led by Mark Rubin, is leading the development on this project.
