| Call of Duty Warzone Mobile Coming In 2022 - Report Posted: 08 Dec 2021 07:40 AM PST According to industry insider Tom Henderson--who just this week also dropped details on a rumored expansion for Assassin's Creed Valhalla--Activision is planning to release a mobile version of Call of Duty: Warzone in 2022. Originally launching on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC, a mobile version of the game has been referenced numerous times through the discovery of job listings and data-mining. This week saw more evidence uncovered when Warzone Mobile was added to PlaytestCloud, a database that provides playtesting services for mobile game studios. "Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile is scoped for 2022," Henderson tweeted this week.
After several job adverts were leaked in August, Activision officially confirmed that it had formed a new studio by the name of Solid State to develop a new mobile entry in the Call of Duty series, although the publisher didn't specifically mention that this would be a Warzone project. Currently, Call of Duty Mobile has a battle royale mode available within it, but the game is a broader slice of multiplayer influenced by the mainline series. Continue Reading at GameSpot |

| GTA Online Is Adding Story DLC Featuring GTA 5's Franklin And Dr. Dre Posted: 08 Dec 2021 07:00 AM PST Grand Theft Auto Online is expanding in a big way this month with the launch of a new "GTA Online Story" featuring Franklin and Dr. Dre. The expansion is called "The Contract," and it releases on December 15. Rockstar announced all the way back in 2013 that it would add new story-focused DLC featuring the heroes of GTA V, and it's finally coming this month. The naming convention as a "GTA Online Story" suggests more might be released in the future. The story takes place years after Franklin, Michael, and Trevor completed a daring heist of the Union Depository in the main campaign. In the time since then, Franklin has been "making moves of his own." This amounts to a new company called F. Clinton and Partner. It's described as a "celebrity solutions agency" that caters to the elite of Vinewood. Franklin will help these high-rollers with any of their "high-society problems." Continue Reading at GameSpot |
| Google's List Of Top Games Searched In 2021 Include PopCat and Battlefield 2042 Posted: 08 Dec 2021 06:54 AM PST Google has released its Year in Search 2021 list, a compilation of the most searched inquiries across the world this year. It features categories such as athletes, actors, songs, and of course, games. This year, some of the results in the games category may surprise you, but most probably won't. Here's the full list of the top 10 most searched games in 2021:
It makes sense that annual franchises such as Madden, FIFA, Call of Duty, and Battlefield are included in this list. They're among the most popular games every single year. Far Cry 6 was a big release, no doubt propelled by the star power of Giancarlo Esposito. Resident Evil Village made the list as well, most likely due to the popularity and virality of Lady Dimitrescu, who dominated the conversation around the game with her tall stature and towering presence.

| Sonic 2 Movie Trailer Coming During The Game Awards Posted: 08 Dec 2021 06:52 AM PST The Game Awards will host the debut trailer for Sonic 2, the upcoming sequel to the 2020 action-comedy. The official movie account teased the trailer with a first look at the movie poster, which visually references the 1992 game. We knew from the first movie that Tails would be appearing in this sequel, and sure enough, he's there with his propeller plane, the Tornado, with Sonic perched on top. We can also see Jim Carrey's Dr. Eggman in the background, looking much more like his video game counterpart this time--including being at the control of a chrome hovercraft. The Game Awards account followed up with an announcement that the trailer will be presented by Jim Carrey and Ben Schwartz, and will include a "first look at the next Sonic game." The Game Awards starts Thursday, December 9 at 8 PM ET. Sonic 2 is slated for release on April 8, 2022. The event will also include a first look at the Halo TV series. Continue Reading at GameSpot |
| Tomb Raider: The Live Experience Opens In 2022 Posted: 08 Dec 2021 06:47 AM PST Tomb Raider: The Live Experience, the real-life attraction inspired by the video game franchise, will be open to the public in 2022.

Attendees will also traverse "a sinking ship, explore the jungles of Costa Rica, discover an ancient tomb, work through environmental puzzles, and battle a secret order," while live actors portraying characters from the franchise, as well as special effects, will be featured.

| Halo Infinite Had A Zelda-Like Open World Before The Studio Cut Two Thirds - Report Posted: 08 Dec 2021 06:45 AM PST A new report has shed some light on Halo Infinite's development, with current and former developers speaking about the challenging production process to bring the game to market. A story from Bloomberg says 343 began planning what would become Halo Infinite not long after Halo 5: Guardians released in 2015. The studio considered different ideas before settling on a plan to make Halo into an open-world game, the report said. But development proved difficult in part because 343 was using a development suite known as Faber, which was old and challenging to use, developers said. This was seemingly a part of Halo Infinite's new Slipspace engine, which powers Halo Infinite. 343 boss Bonnie Ross said in an interview with GameSpot sister site CNET that creating a new engine and overhauling existing development tools amounted to something similar to "trying to fly the plane while we're building the plane."

| Best Co-Op Games Of 2021 According To Metacritic Posted: 08 Dec 2021 06:00 AM PST While online multiplayer has become king in gaming over the past few console generations, it's still nice to sit down with family and friends and enjoy games together the old-fashioned way. 2021 brought some wonderful couch co-op and local, competitive multiplayer experiences. We've crunched the data from our sister site Metacritic to round up the highest-rate cooperative and competitive local multiplayer games of 2021. Fly Together Travel the unfriendly skies, make life hell for airport staff, and rope a few friends in for the ride, because Fly Together is a grand time when you dive into the game's chaotic mix of trying to keep atmospheric traffic flowing smoothly. Essentially an air traffic controller simulator, Fly Together offers precise teamwork built around the high stakes of ensuring that an airborne tube of travelers don't meet an untimely end.

| Best Nintendo Switch Games Of 2021 According To Metacritic Posted: 08 Dec 2021 06:00 AM PST The Nintendo Switch has been a game-changer since it arrived in 2017 as a hybrid console that balances the demands of home entertainment with the convenience of mobile gaming. Able to provide a thrilling experience in any of its configurations--if we're not counting the Switch Lite that is--Nintendo's popular console also has access to an incredible library of first-party main event titles and darling indie games. 2021 even saw the arrival of the Switch OLED, a lovely edition to the Switch family. If you picked up a Switch this year or are simply looking for new stuff to play, we've rounded up the highest rated games of 2021 on Metacritic, GameSpot's sister site. Metacritic collects tons of reviews from a wide variety of respected outlets and comes up with an average score dubbed the Metascore. These results may be a bit surprising, with Nintendo only having two entries in a top ten list that is dominated by games that range from a polished retro FPS violence to a charming moving simulator, visual novels with hard-hitting themes, and a classic puzzle game that provides the ultimate audio and visual experience. Unpacking In the year 2021, who would have imagined that a quirky video game about moving into a new home could result in one of the most cathartic pieces of interactive entertainment of the year? Unpacking delivers exactly what you'd expect from a video game about unloading boxes of personal possessions, and yet the game is more than just zen-like tranquility with effortlessly charming retro visuals.

| New Apex Legends Fuse Skin Reportedly Leaks Through A Loot Box Posted: 08 Dec 2021 05:52 AM PST An Apex Legends player has reportedly obtained an unreleased character skin from a loot box, suggesting that Respawn Entertainment released it too early. The player, WanderWut, posted the image of their newly obtained skin on the Apex Legends subreddit showing how they obtained a Legendary Fuse skin in a new loot box. "Someone at Respawn messed up, opening packs and this unreleased Fuse skin dropped," the post reads. The Fuse skin hasn't yet been announced or released to the full game, so the fact that this player was able to obtain it may have been an accident on the developer's part.

| Xbox Kicks Off Halo Infinite Launch Day With Some Fine Art Posted: 08 Dec 2021 04:56 AM PST Over the two decades that it has been in existence, Halo has established a unique art direction that has carried over to other games in the series and the rest of the franchise. That signature style has now been adapted into the finest of art, which you can currently find hanging in London's Saatchi Gallery until December 15, with a smaller replica on display at the Carrousel du Louvre shopping center in Paris until December 19. Painted by artist Iva Troj, the piece measures almost 20 feet in length and is 10 feet tall. You can see the Master Chief masterpiece in more detail in the video embedded below. "I consequently spent a long time immersing myself in Halo's universe to bring this to life in the manner of an old master but depicting a modern battle, and I hope Halo fans and gamers everywhere enjoy the results--including those smaller Easter eggs that you might not notice at first glance," Troj said in a press release. "A rare combination of digital and traditional painting skills was required, as I worked alongside the 343 Industries development team; the painting was completed in just over a month."

| Posted: 08 Dec 2021 04:39 AM PST Halo Infinite's campaign launches today, December 8, and it's been discovered that people who buy the game on a disc still need to go online to install the game completely. People who reported receiving early copies of the game tried to boot it up and play early but that apparently is not possible. Additionally, it's been revealed that to play Halo Infinite's campaign, you must also download the multiplayer mode. The disc lets you install about 15 GB of game files for Halo Infinite's campaign, Eurogamer reports. However, players must then head to the Xbox Store to finish the download--and those files aren't available yet. It's fairly common for physical games to require an online update to get started, but 15 GB is smaller than the full size of Halo Infinite, so fans have speculated that the full game is not actually on the disc. So what is on the disc? Microsoft has not said. Continue Reading at GameSpot |

According to journalist Tom Henderson on Twitter, the Splinter Cell game is currently undergoing early development and "is currently scoped as a... You guessed it... Open World of sorts."
