Wedbush Morgan analyst Michael Pachter believes global sales of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 will “exceed $500 million in the first week following launch”. In his Activision Blizzard Q3 Preview, Pachter also estimated that the highly anticipated title will “easily sell 10 million units in Q4 [Oct-Dec]” Speaking on GT’s Bonus Round last month, Pachter said that with the right marketing the title could achieve Q4 sales of up to 14 million units....
Barely even a few days out from release and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare’s reception is well-divided. There are even some players unhappy about the cross-platform feature, its “twitch shooter” effects, and the fact that maps are disappointing with no destructible environments, as well. It really all comes down to preference. Though the community may be straddling the fence, there still remains a multitude of streamers excitedly playing the game, despite quick and easy deaths becoming relatively imminent....
Capcom today announced that a third Monster Hunter: World beta is set to take place on Friday, January 19, and will run until January 22. During a special livestream, which you can watch below (it starts around 35:28), it was announced that you’ll be able to get one final taste of what the game has to offer pre-launch in Monster Hunter: World’s third beta test. This beta, which is only available to those on PlayStation 4, adds an extra quest on top of the three that were playable in the previous two tests....
Netherrealm Studios got fans ready for fatalities today when it took to the stage and Twitch and revealed Mortal Kombat 11‘s gameplay. The livestreamed reveals simultaneously took place on two stages, one in Los Angeles and the other in London. Announced in December during The Game Awards 2018, fans were given a gruesome cinematic trailer. Today, they got a chance to see the game in action. Who’s Next? The event kicked off with a montage trailer featuring Sub Zero, Liu Kang, and Baraka, as well as the return of Skarlet — who was described as the “most demanded” character since being offered as Mortal Kombat X DLC....
Mortal Kombat 11’s Joker character DLC is slated for release in a couple days on January 28. Recently, options for his skins and equipment were made readily available for fans’ viewing pleasure, and not all fans are pleased, to say the least. This is due to some of Mortal Kombat 11’s odd choices for options that may be a little too unique, while options that resemble familiar characteristics of the Joker appear to be completely absent....
Munchkin: Quacked Quest, from developer Asmodee Digital, is the first adaptation of the classic card game that has spawned many variations and expansions over the years, all involving co-op and competitive action with friends. Surprisingly, the video game does not attempt to replicate the mechanics of its source material, and instead is a dungeon crawling action game rather than a card game. Despite being called Munchkin: Quacked Quest, there is little about the game that reminds players of the great card game and is, at best, a mediocre way to pass the time....
Today Crunchyroll was at Japan Expo 2022 in Paris and it announced a few interesting anime series that it will localize in the relatively near future. We start with Avex’s Muv-Luv Alternative Season 2, which will air in October day and date with its Japanese debut, continuing the story of what’s considered by many the best visual novel series of all time. It’s actually one of the original isekai (and as such it definitely doesn’t suffer from the genre’s recent oversaturation), in which easygoing high-schooler Takeru Shirogane finds himself on an alternate Earth in which humanity is being exterminated by an alien race named BETA....
Need for Speed and Unravel are now available to download on EA Access. UPDATE: And on Origin Access, too. The new additions bring the number of titles available for free on EA Access to 23, joining the likes of FIFA 16, Battlefield 4, Battlefield Hardline and Dragon Age: Inquisition.

Need for Speed Heat had the series’ most successful launch week of this generation, as announced by developer Ghost Games. The official reveal of Need for Speed Heat came in August, though it was speculated to be in development for a while. An EA DICE community manager took to Reddit to introduce the game’s setting, story, and new features, and we got one whizzy preview at Gamescom 2019. Then, the game was released in November....
Geralt’s adventures on the small screen have prompted fans to return to his most famous adventure, as The Witcher TV show on Netflix is causing fans to replay The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. The Witcher video games by CD Projekt Red use the same characters and world from the novel series that they are adapted from, but they use their own stories. The author of The Witcher novels had little involvement with the video games, though that might change in the future as part of the new deal that he has worked out with CD Projekt Red....
Rockstar Games just recently updated Red Dead Redemption 2 with the free Frontier Pursuits expansion, which added multiplayer specialist roles among other things. Besides giving Red Dead Redemption 2 players specialist roles to master, it seems as though the latest update for Rockstar’s open world western has also added a reference to Bully, further fueling the fire that a Bully 2 announcement is coming sooner rather than later. Fans have discovered a new wanted poster in Red Dead Redemption 2 for a woman named Meredith Hopkins....
Since the launch of Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, players have encountered various troublesome bugs. The developers were quick to address many of them by rolling out regular patch updates. However, a new bug has appeared involving care packages in Black Ops Cold War multiplayer. This scorestreak is highly recognizable to Call of Duty fans as they have appeared in various titles. Care packages are at the lower end of score streak options and only cost 2,000 points in Black Ops Cold War....
We’ve got some new screens to show how Sir Daniel Fortesque’s skeletal face is coming along. Gamescom is giving us all a first-hand look at what all the latest and greatest in gaming has in store, with MediEvil being the latest PlayStation remake to capture our sense of nostalgia. The original came out way back in 1998, and now over two decades later MediEvil is getting the Spyro treatment with a loving remake for modern hardware....
The immensely popular Rocket League just got hit with a brand new patch which has a few small fixes and new additions. It also boosts the performance of the game when certain graphical elements are changed. This brings the game version up to 1.39. I’d love to jump into the game and try out the new patch, but I’m currently staying at an AirBNB with Internet from medieval times. It’s amazing I even got a decent enough connection for a few minutes to write this news post....
This new Saints Row reboot video serves as a tongue-in-cheek in-universe “ad”. The ad shows that players can go to car mechanic shops called Jim Rob’s to upgrade vehicles whenever they need while driving around Santo Ileso. You can watch the video/ad here and below: Fans of the series will immediately notice something funny about the Jim Rob’s name. Through the series, the main car mechanic garages (aside from Semi Broken) were all called Rim Jobs....
Coming via Stardew Valley creator ConcernedApe/Eric Barone, Haunted Chocolatier is the next big game that fans of the farming and life sim genre will be looking forward to. After its announcement about two months or so ago, Barone has shared some new screenshots over the last week for Haunted Chocolatier as an update, with further hints as to how the game will function. The screenshots show off a few things, one being that spirits seem to be of help when creating your chocolate, with another showing a school bus that has been transformed into a makeshift garden....
Amrine is the first Expedition (dungeon) you will encounter in New World. In other MMORPGs, the first dungeon can be an intimidating prospect. But, as I mentioned in my New World beginners guide, the Amrine Expedition is a walk in the park. There’s only one real challenge. But, there are some things you don’t want to miss. To enter the Expedition, you will need an Amrine Tuning Orb. You will be given one of these when you get the Destiny Unearthed, Foreman’s Ledger, and Seeing Clearly quests....
New World has a Closed Beta coming out on July 20 at 9:30 AM PT (4:30 PM UTC) and will continue until August 2 at 11:59M PT (6:59 AM UTC). While the game is officially coming out on August 31, the devs have put out a beta test version. In this version, players will get a chance to experience Aeternum. So, let’s find out how to sign up for this Closed Beta....
With Gamescom coming up next week, not much earth-shattering news has come trickling out in the last couple days. Luckily, we have more G2A happenings to discuss, as well as Epic Games Store slowly but surely adding more features that we’ve been waiting for. To top it off, we finally know details about the new Need for Speed game and when we’ll see more of it. Let’s jump right into it, shall we?...
