The Kickstarted game based on the incredible Yogcast YouTube team has endured a slow and repeatedly delayed development, so much so that we’ve almost forgotten about it (despite backing it ourselves). For the first time in a while, the devs at Winterkewl have provided an update and the good news is that the Closed Beta begins at the end of the month. Read all about the status of the game he
So, while Activision Blizzard are in no danger of being significantly damaged by the financial competition posed by Fortnite , it’s clear that bosses are paying close attention to its success. The inspiration Kotick mentions may be further evidence that Black Ops 4 will have a Battle Royale mode , or may simply refer to Epic Games’ microtransaction mo
After a short delay, Playground was added to Fortnite , giving players full access to the island without having to worry about getting wiped out by an Omega skin a few minutes after landing. Playground also offers the perfect opportunity to practice building, which one group of creative players took to the extreme by erecting a near-perfect recreation of Nuketown from Call of Du
After fooling around with the app, I can say that it features a pretty slick design, and it delivers exactly what I would expect from a mobile version of Elite. If only this mobile app had launched sooner I think Elite would be just as huge as Modern Warfare
While gamers will have no shortage of brand new, full-release games to try in October, they will also have some betas to test as well. Jump Force , the upcoming anime fighting game featuring characters like Naruto, Goku, Luffy , and even Yugi Moto, will have a closed beta that will take place from October 12 to October
The recreation of Nuketown, which can be seen in the video below, is made entirely out of wood and is about as faithful to the fan-favorite Black Ops map as Fortnite would allow. Replacing Nuketown’s iconic backdrop is Wailing Woods – but since the proportions are pretty spot-on, anyone who is familiar with Nuketown will recognize the buildings instan
“When we see people innovate in an interesting and impactful way, we’re very quick to capture inspiration from innovation, […] When we see things appeal to our audiences, were very good to be inspired by tho
Matches play out as expected with players wing-suiting in from above, scrambling for loot below, and navigating the ever-shrinking map circle. An auto-gather mechanic instantly assigns the best equipment; however, players can still equip items manually if they so choose. Doors open automatically by stepping towards them, and grappling hooks litter the map for quickly zipping around. The vehicle roster features ATV’s, SUV’s, light helicopters, and tactical rafts for additional traversal options. When teammates bite the dust, they can be revived by collecting their fallen dog t
Not only is October especially busy when it comes to brand new game releases, but it’s also a busy time for in-game events. Thanks to Halloween, October is usually stuffed full of holiday-themed in-game events, with some of this year’s already announced or ongoing. For example, Halloween decorations are all over the battle royale map in Fortnite , and Blizzard has already confirmed that the Halloween Terror event is coming back to Overwatch from October 9 to October
But, Microsoft Activision Blizzard acquisition wants to stress that Elite, like any great stat-tracking service, is constantly evolving, meaning that new updates should be on the way once the app reaches a certain level of stability. One of the positive signs about this iOS launch as compared to Elite’s initial launch is being able to sign in on the first
All of the key bullet points, or at least the features that most Modern Warfare 3 players flocked to the Call of Duty Elite service for, are on display in the app — from tracking your career, setting up custom classes, and looking at recent matches. Unfortunately, the community-based offerings from Elite, things like setting up clans and participating in tournaments or challenges (you can track challenges howev
As promised, the Call of Duty Elite app is now available on the iTunes Store, but what Beachhead Studio and Activision had failed to stress to Call of Duty fans is just what features would be available, and how the app looks on your mobile device. Thankfully they have released a handful of screenshots, and a few more tidbits of information concerning the Elite app. Of course, the app is free of charge, so if you really want to see what it’s all about, there’s no harm in downloading
The four players responsible don’t just stop at building the map; they go on to stage their own 2v2 deathmatch, killing each other without building to keep it “boots on the ground.” This is made possible by Playground ‘s fast respawns, allowing the players to simply drop back down into the action after getting kil
In the meantime, there are some games where it’s unclear if a Halloween event will take place or not. Last year, Destiny 2 didn’t host a Festival of the Lost event like we saw in the first Destiny , but it’s possible that will change this year. We’ll just have to wait for Bungie to share more information one way or another to be s
