September 2018 was a busy month for games, seeing the release of a number of critically-acclaimed titles including Dragon Quest 11: Echoes of an Elusive Age and of course, the PS4-exclusive Spider-Man from Insomniac Games. However, if gamers thought September was a busy month, then they’re going to be completely blown away by October, which stands to be the busiest month for gaming in all of 2

Activision is doing what it can to bring Call of Duty to mobile devices in a way that will attract newcomers and longtime fans of the series alike. The developer is including many of the familiar game modes from consoles to Call of Duty: Warzone mobile , such as Multiplayer, Zombies, and Battle Roy
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
Of course, no single title is more relevant in the shooter genre than Epic Games’ cultural phenomenon Fortnite Battle Royale – a fact that Activision Blizzard immediately commented on during its Q1 financial review conference call yesterday. “Gaming is constantly evolving and innovating, which often expands the marketplace,” said Bobby Kotick, CEO of Activision Blizzard, “and the success of Fortnite is no excepti
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
Having an over-crowded location where the slaughter can begin each and every round won’t be the only thing CoD Mobile ‘s battle royale mode will have in common with Fortnite . It will also feature 100-person matches and give players the choice of competing alone, as a duo, or in a squad of four. Interestingly, players will also be able to choose whether they play in first-person or third-person m
Call of Duty Mobile is currently not available in the US and Europe, but Activision has promised it will be rolled out later this summer. However, if you game on Android and you can’t wait for that vague date to arrive, its beta is being made available in certain regions at some point this week reports Games Radar . If you play on iOS, well, you’ll just have to wait like the rest of
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
The Jump Force beta is certainly exciting, but the headlining beta event for October is easily Fallout 76 . Bethesda Games Studios’ first crack at a multiplayer-focused experience, many fans are both excited and nervous to see what Fallout 76 will have in store, and Xbox One owners that pre-order the game can see what all the fuss is about beginning October 23. Meanwhile, PC and PS4 gamers can jump into the post-apocalyptic wasteland beginning October 30. The betas across all platforms will last until Fallout 76 ‘s launch, and unlike many other beta tests, progress will actually carry over to the full g
Despite this, and as with all mention of Fortnite during the call, Epic Games’ success was presented more as encouraging than threatening. There was much talk of the millions of new players Battle Royale has brought to the shooter genre, and even some hints from Kotick that Activision Blizzard will take inspiration from the genre with its upcoming tit
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
Videos like this one show just how good of an idea Playground was for Epic Games. Not only does the LTM give new players (of which there will be many, thanks to the recent Switch port ) a way to get to grips with the game in a safe environment, but it also enables impressive creations that will continue to make headlines and keep the game relev
The latest details revealed about CoD Mobile pertain to the game’s much-anticipated battle royale mode. Like most battle royale modes, there will be one map and one map only. However, well-versed CoD players may be able to traverse that map relatively will from day one. That’s because it will apparently feature a number of locations from CoD ‘s past. Cue Rust being to CoD what Tilted Towers was to Fortni
