Concept art for the canceled project has surfaced on ArtStation via artist Matt Rhodes (thanks, Eurogamer). Rhodes is an art director at Bioware in Edmonton and has worked as a concept artist on Jade Empire, the Mass Effect trilogy, and the Dragon Age series. Bioware recently discussed the game in its book, BioWare: Stories and Secrets from 25 Years of Game Development. While in development, the plan was to make it available for PC, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360 and was in the works from 2005 to 2008....

Treyarch has kicked off a new double Battle Pass tier progression event in Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War. The promo will be available for the entire weekend, and wraps up on Monday. To make things more interesting, the multiplayer playlists will be refreshed later today at the usual reset time. Raid will get its own 24/7 playlist away from The Pines. Nuketown Holiday 24/7 will remain, and so will the dedicated Prop Hunt playlist....

If you still haven’t played the original Borderlands, or want to give it a go again, you can play the Borderlands Game of the Year Enhanced version free for the next five days on Steam. Released last spring for PC and consoles, the game is a 4K, remastered version of the original Borderlands. It features co-op and four-player split-screen co-op. It also contains all previously released DLC, new weapons and quality of life improvements....

Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War hit shelves yesterday, and players are already deep into the multiplayer experience. For many though, it looks like the grind for better usability in weapons is a little too much. For engaged communities, a new game launching is always a big deal. Players will often take time off work, and begin their grind, especially in multiplayer games. Getting early advantages can be key, so putting a lot of time into the game in the first day or two is common practice....

The firms announced the news today and provided a short teaser trailer to go along with it starring the game’s Operators. During the reveal, we may find out whether or not the game is coming to Steam as has been suggested. We may also hear about the upcoming open beta for the game, news of which leaked not long ago. According to the leak, PS4 and PS5 players will be granted early access to the open beta first before heading to other platforms....

Sometime after the launch of the big new Call of Duty: Warzone patch, which brought a number of balance changes to the RPG and Akimbo Renettis, players ran into a particularly frustrating problem. Many who queued up for BR Trios simply couldn’t get into a match, and those who did, ended up in lobbies with an alarmingly low player count. The number of players in these matches wasn’t enough, so everyone kept fooling around warm-up forever....

Over the past few days, Call of Duty: Warzone players discovered a terrible glitch involving vehicles. The exploit doesn’t actually give those who trigger it an advantage, and instead ruins the experience for everyone. Using any of the game’s vehicles and going out of bounds in a certain area would cause the entire server to crash, kicking everyone back to the lobby. The good news is that Infinity Ward has disabled vehicles for now, though the developer did not say when we can expect them to return....

Mastery camos are unlockable skins that you can equip to weapons you invest time in Call of Duty: Vanguard. There are three different types, each progressively harder to obtain, that we’ve listed out below to help you trick out your favourite firearm. How to unlock the Gold weapon camo in Call of Duty: Vanguard Starting off simple, to unlock the gold weapon camo on a certain gun all you have to do is complete each camo challenge on that gun....

But now, with Captain Tsubasa: Rise of New Champions - a new anime soccer game coming this year - you can play a football game released in 2020 which still plays like FIFA 96. Based on the ‘80s manga of the same name, Captain Tsubasa really has more in common with games like Mario Strikers and Sega Soccer Slam than an attempt at realistic football simulation. The real-life sport is more of a backdrop than anything else, as flashy player abilities and over-the-top action take centre stage....

Carrion has sold nearly 200,000 copies since its release on July 23, according to Phobia Game Studios and publisher Devolver Digital. The game also has “hundreds of thousands of players” on Xbox Game Pass. Described as a ‘reverse horror’ game, in it, you play an amorphous creature of unknown origin whose only goal is to “spread fear and panic" throughout the facility where you were imprisoned. You will both grow and evolve as you acquire more devastating abilities “on the path to retribution" against those who imprisoned you....

Stray, which you may remember from when it was revealed at the PS5 showcase, has returned with an update. First, the game is being pushed back from October this year, to early 2022. But that wasn’t all we got to learn this week, because last night’s Annapurna Interactive Showcase also offered a first look at what you actually do in the game. Stray is a third-person cat action-adventure. You play as a stray cat looking for a way out of a cyberpunk city seemingly inhabited only by human-like robots....

Developer MythicOwl has revealed its next project, puzzle game Harmony’s Odyssey. This new title is set to come to Nintendo Switch and Steam later this year and sees players enter a colourful world that apparently mixes classic Greek mythology with comedy. In practical terms, this means car-driving Minotaurs and angry-look Cyclopses with smartphones. You will play as Harmony, a wizard who is trying to find her cat who has apparently “tangled the world like a clump of yarn....

In a video uploaded to their channel, embedded below for everyone who wants to take a look at this eye watering project themselves, the creator shows off two distinct and gorgeous shots of the village. The first, of the village centre with multiple ocean-side huts adorned with colourful cloth. The second is the dock, which looks out over the ocean with distant islands off in the distance. This small showing of Arni village stands in complete contrast to some of the demos we’ve seen already, super vibrant and reminiscent of the original game as opposed to the super realistic visuals found in the Matrix demo we received not too long ago....

On today’s Inside Xbox showcase, Deep Silver debuted the reveal trailer for a new game called Chorus. The game comes from the studio behind the Galaxy on Fire series, Fishlabs, and it’s due out on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X and Stadia in 2021. Chorus is a cinematic space shooter starring an ace pilot with a sentient starship. It promises a world of mysteries for you to explore, and “mind-bending” abilities to unlock for some action-packed combat....

Speaking on Twitter, he gave a run-down of the game where you’d play as a grown up Newt from Aliens, with Ellen Ripley as a major character. The game never got past the initial planning stages though, and the project was shelved as Disney acquired Fox. “Before BKP shut down we were in talks to do a new game in the Aliens franchise with Fox,” Bleszinski said. “Then Disney bought them and that got lost in the shuffle, darnit....

What’s that? You don’t know Craig? That’s okay, I’ve posted a photo of him below. He’s the new official Xbox mascot. Shortly after the internet became infatuated with Craig the Brute, a fan tweeted at Phil Spencer to ask for his take on the situation. “What’s your take on Craig?” he asked. The internet waited with bated breath for three long and arduous minutes to see whether or not Spencer would do the right thing....

Let’s be clear, no one has the time to play through three remasters for one review (if you do, I’m envious, to be honest). So, I sampled each of the games here, having played and finished them all on their initial releases. I’m also not a pixel counter, graphical effect analyser or frame rate detector. I like games with high resolutions, nice graphical effects, and smooth frame rates, but that’s about as far as my knowledge goes....

Some Cyberpunk 2077 players are finding that they’re being followed by certain NPCs. Player staigerd89 took to Reddit to share their story of one creepily attached NPC. “This is absolutely driving me nuts, but an NPC by the name of Hwangbo has been following me since some early side mission. Fast travel will get rid of him for a few minutes, but then I see the green icon appear on my radar and sure enough, he is following me all through night city....

The news comes from Twitter, where a fan posed the question of Cyberpunk 2077 dual wielding. “I’m sure this question has been answered, but I’ll ask it again real quick,” he wrote. “Is dual wielding a thing? Does anyone know?” CD Projekt Red Global Community Lead Marcin Momot was quick to respond. Check out Momot’s tweet below. “No dual wielding,” wrote Momot. “Sorry.” No beating around the bush either - plain and simple, Cyberpunk 2077 dual wielding isn’t going to happen....
