Since Halo Infinite’s delay, developer 343 has been radio silent. The game was meant to be out last week alongside the launch of the Xbox Series X/S but Master Chief sadly couldn’t make it to the next generation just yet. Fans are now clamouring for when we might hear more on the game. Many have been proposing we might catch a glimpse at The Game Awards on December 10. The show has a long history of big announcements, even revealing the Xbox Series X last year....

This is the largest feature update to the game yet, bringing with it Campaign co-op, Mission Replay, the Forge Beta, and plenty of new, free content. Campaign Network co-op supports crossplay across all Xbox devices and PC, and progress and unlocks are shared across all players. This means that no matter what platform you’re playing on, you will bring your campaign completion, collectibles unlocked, Spartan Cores unlocked, etc, and all players will progress together so it’s not just the host who benefits....

The video is in Japanese, but even if you don’t speak the language, you still get an idea of what’s going on thanks to loads of gameplay on display. Announced back in February, in this 5v5 soccer-like sport, you can tackle, use items like bananas and shells as well as activate special shots. Up to eight players, four players on each team, can compete against each other on one Nintendo Switch system....

Jett is another Valorant character getting her own trailer. Like Phoenix, Jett was also one of the game’s first heroes to be shown. Jett’s most immediately noticeable trait is her speed and agility compared to the other characters. She’s able to perform quick dashes (Tailwind) to re-position and evade danger. Her Updraft ability is also movement-focused, allowing her to jet upwards. Her main combat ability is Cloudburst, essentially a smoke grenade that clouds the are it hits in fog....

Primal, Season 6 of Fortnite’s second chapter, went live this morning. Primal transformed the game’s map, adding roaming wild animals, weapon crafting, and introducing a wildlife theme to the island. Epic Games didn’t opt for a world-ending live event this time around, however, so the story of the new season is instead delivered in a single-player mission. Zero Crisis Finale is the name of this mission, and it’s available to all players on their first login after downloading the patch....

After AMD showed what looked to be an official shot of the back of the Xbox Series X console, the company admitted it was a purchased 3D model and is not actually the real thing. So what ports does the real Xbox Series X actually have on the back? Well, according to a Thurrott report, the answer is not very exciting. According to people with access to the current unit, the Xbox Series X has seven ports on the back....

Cyberpunk 2077 will have rather detailed character customization options, and folks are already discussing on reddit how a custom Triss would look in the game. For those who never played The Witcher games, Triss Merigold is a sorceress who was friends with Ciri, Yennefer, and Geralt, and also a love interest of the latter.

Originally published in Japan back in 2019, Kojima’s book features essays written by Kojima where he discusses his inspirations. In English, the book will be titled The Creative Gene: How books, movies, and music inspired the creator of Death Stranding and Metal Gear Solid. To be published by Viz (thanks, Polygon), the book will also include chats between the author and musician/actor Gen Hoshino, whose song Pop Virus appears Death Stranding....

Hitman 3 will be playable with PlayStation VR, and just like the non-VR version of the game, you will have freedom of approach in the sandbox. Plus, since the game allows you to play the previous titles, every location from the World of Assassination trilogy can be enjoyed in VR when you play them through the game. Supported by his Agency handler, Diana Burnwood, in Hitman 3, Agent 47 joins forces with his friend Lucas Grey....

But I think Horizon Forbidden West can actually make something of its oceanic focus. The PS4 and PS5 game, set to release on February 18, hasn’t been shy about showing off its new-found obsession with H20; from the very first trailer we saw from the game, it was made clear that protagonist Aloy was going to be strapping on a scuba mask and hitting the depths as she explores the titular Forbidden West....

Its developers are the experts on first-person parkour, and have learned that the emphasis in ‘free running’ is on the ‘free’ part. There’s no way to build a brilliant parkour game that hems you in, refusing to respect where you want to go. Instead the game is led by the runner, and the developer is relegated to the safety car - driving alongside them, making sure nothing interrupts the giddy joy of momentum....

To get to the fight, we have a full Elden Ring Volcano Manor quest walkthrough page. But if you’ve made it to fighting Rykard, there’s no going back. Mt. Gelmir, and by extension Volcano Manor, are meant to be visited towards the end of the game. If you see the quest through to its end, or decide to skip it altogether, you can access the manor and come face to face with Rykard, Lord of Blasphemy – and his God-Devouring Serpent form before that....

Like most Lost Ark Twitch drops, this one requires you to watch a specific video or set of videos for a fairly long period of time. At the end, you can claim your magic horsey, though you can only pick one color. How do you get the unicorn mount in Lost Ark? You’ll need to sign into Twitch and link your account to your Lost Ark account first. The easiest way to do this is signing in through the Lost Ark website, where you’ll be prompted to to link automatically....

Continuing the odd naming convention that takes past relesaes wholesale, Infinity Ward has confirmed that it’s working on a sequel to 2019’s Modern Warfare reboot (not a remake of 2009’s Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2). We have the logo – which you can see below – but other than that, we’ve got precious little information about the game, what modes it will include, what it’ll look like, or how it’ll play....

As promised, Infinity Ward rolled out a playlist update earlier today for Call of Duty: Warzone. The update brings back vanilla Trios for Battle Royale, after players complained when Scopes and Scatter Guns replaced it. The update also brought a surprise addition in the form of Plunder Duos, which replaces Plunder Quads. Duos has been one of players’ most requested modes since Warzone released in March. The Season 3 page on the official site even confirmed Duos briefly, before the site was updated to remove all mention of it....

Regarding possible Xbox exclusivity for franchises such as Call of Duty, Xbox boss, and now CEO of Microsoft Gaming Phil Spencer told Bloomberg that Microsoft doesn’t “intend” to fracture the community. “I’ll just say to players out there who are playing Activision Blizzard games on Sony’s platform: It’s not our intent to pull communities away from that platform and we remained committed to that,” said Spencer. His statement is in addition to the one he made on Xbox Wire where he said that “Activision Blizzard games are enjoyed on a variety of platforms and we plan to continue to support those communities moving forward....

According to Ito, Kojima has contacted him about working on a horror-based game “he may be doing.” Speaking in a Comic-Con 2020 interview, Ito stated he is not currently working on a video game, but that could change should Kojima decide to make his horror game. “I do know director Kojima and we have been in a conversation that he may have a horror-based game that he may be doing, and so he has invited me to work on that, but there are no details on it yet,” said Ito, speaking through a translator (thanks, ComicBook....
