This is according to a Bloomberg report which states the mobile version of the MMO was in development for three years before being canceled. The report states the cancellation resulted in the disbandment of a 100-strong team at NetEase, with only some offered positions elsewhere in the company. Apparently, there was a disagreement between Blizzard and NetEase over financial terms leading to the project’s cancellation. People familiar with the matter said the MMORPG, codenamed Neptune, was set in the same universe as WoW, only it focused on a different time period....

In Borderlands 3: Psycho Krieg and the Fantastic Fustercluck, you’ll meet the split personas of Psycho Krieg and can find new weapons and gear that you can bring to the base game, as well as all-new challenges. There’s a new Crew Challenge to complete in this DLC over three stages. Crew Challenges require visiting several locations on the search for specific hidden items. You can check out our Creature Feature Film Reel and Good Prospects locations guides here to give you an idea of the type of things you’ll be doing....

In many ways, Bravely Default 2 feels like a game often pulling in two polar opposite directions. As a player, I end up torn between them, struggling to split the difference between the elements of the game that I think work and the ones that I think stumble. It’s a challenging game to write about, particularly at the preview phase, where I’m prevented from getting into too much detail so I don’t spoil too much....

Version 1.04.000 has been pushed out to Bugsnax on PS4 and PS5, and the latest update for the game takes aim at some of the most game-breaking and progression-halting bugs that have affected players since launch. The newest update, which weighs in at about 1GB on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5, introduces a lot of fixes that make mission progression a little bit easier for players that have run into problems in the game....

Now that the Call of Duty Black Ops Cold War update is live, Activision is warning – via the official Call of Duty blog, no less – that players with a base 500GB PS4 may not be able to store the entirety of modern Call of Duty games on their hard drives. “Those who own a standard PlayStation 4 with a default hard drive of 500 GB may need to make room if they have the full versions of Modern Warfare/Warzone and Black Ops Cold War with all modes and packs installed,” says the blog....

Through a series of settings new to Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, streamers now have tools that allow them to mask themselves from their audience. Stream sniping is a very real problem for streamers. The bigger the audience, the more problems you are likely to run into. The practice sees viewers trying to enter a matchmaking queue at the exact same time as the streamer they are watching....

As promised, Infinity Ward rolled out the latest update for Call of Duty: Warzone and Modern Warfare. The patch is roughly 10GB (20GB on PC) in size, and its biggest highlight is that it finally makes it possible for PC players to remove modes they’re not playing This process can only be done after downloading the patch, and it’s available on the Battle.net launcher, not through the game. In fact, Modern Warfare needs to be closed for you to be able to uninstall what you no longer need....

With the second playlist update this week, Call of Duty: Warzone received a new mode in Juggernaut Trios. As the name suggests, this variant of the standard Trio adds a Juggernaut suit into the mix. In order to become a Juggernaut, you need to claim an airdropped care package. There’s no timer on it, so you can coast through the entire game as a Juggernaut if you like. You’re obviously going to be very slow, but you have a tonne of health and can dish out a lot of damage with the minigun....

Following the example of CS:GO and other free-to-play games, Call of Duty: Warzone now requires two-step SMS verification for its free-to-play players on PC. This basically means anyone who doesn’t own the full game must tie an active mobile number to their profile, which they’ll be receiving a SMS message on, similar to how two-factor authentication works over email. For now, this is only a requirement on PC, but it should make the process of creating new accounts much harder for cheaters, since they’ll also have to buy a new line every time they get banned....

What games did you play during the break? Sound off in the comments…! Alex Donaldson, Assistant Editor I have to be honest - this wasn’t the biggest holiday season for me from a video game perspective.

It looks like the game could be landing on PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S, per the listing, approximately one year after the game launched on PC. Crusader Kings 3 was released last September on PC (playable via Steam, Paradox, Microsoft Store, and Xbox Game Pass for PC) but we’ve not heard anything about it coming to consoles until this listing appeared (thanks, Gematsu). It stands to reason that the game will come to Xbox platforms via Game Pass for Xbox consoles, since it’s already available on the PC version of Microsoft’s service....

You might be surprised how quickly you reach the ending: compared to The Witcher 3, Cyberpunk 2077’s point of no return for the main story comes quite soon. It’s easily possible to finish the main story in a little over 20 hours - but it’s not designed to be binged that way. Cyberpunk has more side content, and it’s more in-depth - so you’re meant to meander off and explore those story-lines before reaching the end game....
