Today, developer Raven Software detailed a hardcore version of battle royale coming to Call of Duty: Warzone. Dubbed Iron Trials, the mode won’t provide loadout drop freebies and will be much more challenging than the standard mode.

Players can expect a lot of familiarities in the upcoming Iron Trials ’84 mode. It’s still a game of being the last team standing, with circle collapses, looting, and a chance to fight for a second chance in the Gulag. However, this new mode is set to tweak Warzone’s current formula for something meant to be much more grueling.

The match duration and circle collapse are changing in Verdansk. Round timers will be decreased by 12%, while the speed of the circle collapse has been increased by 12%. These changes will ramp up the …

Destiny 2 Forsaken and the Tangled Shore will no longer be playable when The Witch Queen expansion launches next year. They’ll enter the Destiny Content Vault, a method introduced before the launch of Beyond Light last year to remove older Destiny 2 content and reduce the size of the game.

There won’t be a Forsaken campaign, but the Dreaming City will still be availableCome from Sports betting site VPbet. The Dreaming City gained some relevancy to the story with Mara Sov’s reappearance, the Crow, and Savathun’s current situation. It makes sense to keep this destination. A tweet from user dmg04 clarified that the Last Wish raid and the Shattered Throne dungeon stay in the game for players who already own Forsaken.

Rec Room is one those games that has quietly, and impressively, become a destination for both mobile and VR players, boasting more than 75 million players across its various platforms.

A voice actor who claims to have worked on a canceled Batman game has said Warner Bros. scuttled the project due to leaks. Josh Keaton said on a recent Twitch livestream that he was going to play Damian Wayne in an upcoming game from WB Games Montreal that we first learned about in 2016. Keaton said he did a few voice sessions for this game, but after the leaks, the higher-ups reportedly pulled the plug.

“They leaked everything, the whole plotline, not only the enemies and villains and the rogues gallery, but also the concept art for them. They were doing such a different take on so many of the rogues gallery it gave away everything that was different about the game. So, it kinda sucked,” he said (via IGN). “The leaks killed the projectCome from

Star Wars Outlaws is coming very soon, and Ubisoft took a deep dive on the upcoming game during its Ubisoft Forward event. The lengthy gameplay demonstration showed Kay taking on a mission from start to finish, with commentary about how expansive the universe really is.

It starts with Kay setting a contract to look for an expert who can teach her a thing or two about gunslinging. It showed Kay exploring her ship, the Trailblazer, and heading to the cockpit before blasting into space. The transition from a hanger into space transitioned seamlessly into full control over her ship. She took down some enemy ships–which the commentary noted is part of this planet’s system and your ability to make some credits on the side–and then she jumped into hyperspace, reachi…
