For some time now fans have been wondering just how the multiplayer in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare would look and now Activision and Infinity Ward have debuted the mode with a new reveal trailer as well as some closed and open beta dates. The PlayStation 4 exclusive beta will run from September 12th to the 13th for pre-orders with an open beta lasting from September 14th to the 16th while other consoles will have a chance to play the beta on September 19th and 20th with pre-orders and with the open beta on September 21st through the 23rd on all platforms.
Players can jump into new play spaces that redefine Call of Duty multiplayer, from quick-action, close-quarters two-versus-two experiences in Gunfight, traditional six-versus-six multiplayer gameplay, modes that support 10-versus-10 and 20-versus-20 firefights, along with high-player count maps and combat, such as the all-new Ground War, an epic large-scale mode supporting more than 100-players.
With a complete weapon overhaul and the most choices in Call of Duty history, players will be able to outfit their multiplayer operators for every combat encounter, with unprecedented customization and modifiability in the new Gunsmith system. Modern Warfare features cutting-edge visuals, authentic sound design, with realistic recoil and weapon ballistics throughout the game. In addition, gameplay mechanics, including bullet penetration, gun mounting, door breaching and night vision multiplayer gameplay maps featuring night vision goggles (NVGs), allow for an amazing tactical experience.
You can check out the reveal trailer and some screenshots below and keep an eye out for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare when it is released on the Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC on October 25th.
Fellow Traveller and Paranoid Productions announced their stealth thriller The Church in the Darkness is available now on Switch, PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. The game regularly costs $19.95 USD, but the price is being axed by 20% as part of the launch sale. PC buyers will also get a chance to pick up the True Believer special edition for $29.95 USD at Steam, Humble, GOG, and Itch.
The Church in the Darkness follows Vic, an ex-cop. After his nephew Alex joins a cult known as the Collective Justice Mission, Vic vows to infiltrate the group’s compound in South America and locate Alex.
Players will sneak around the compound called Freedom Town to discover more about the cult through literature and conversation. Each playthrough will be different, as the cult’s motivations and behaviour is randomly generated each time. The game offers multiple endings, each influenced by the cult’s intentions and the player’s actions.
ROOSTER TEETH GAMES HOSTS FREE VICIOUS CIRCLE
OPEN BETA THIS WEEKEND
ON STEAM
Play the ridiculous new uncooperative
multiplayer shooter before it launches on August 13!
AUSTIN,
TX — Aug. 2, 2019 — Rooster
Teeth Games has announced it’s hosting a free open beta weekend on Steam for Vicious Circle,
the fast-paced uncooperative multiplayer shooter in which four mercenaries
compete for loot against a terrifying monster — and each other. Beginning today at 6 PM ET/3 PM PT and
ending Monday, August 5, at 1 PM ET/10 AM PT, open beta lets
players try the over-the-top comic- and sci-fi-inspired game before it
officially releases on August 13 and grab an exclusive cosmetic spray to use
in-game at launch.
Rooster Teeth has also revealed a brand-new
character trailer for the playable mechanical mercenary CR45H & BURN, a
sentient industrial robot and her counterpart, a psychotic fire baby.
CR45H & BURN is voiced by Rooster Teeth’s own Lindsay and Michael Jones.
Michael and Lindsay are both members of Achievement Hunter and star in several
original Rooster Teeth series and films, including RWBY, Camp Camp, Red vs.
Blue, gen:LOCK, and Lazer Team.
In each round of Vicious Circle, one player is selected to
become a massive, unstoppable creature with a simple goal: kill all four
mercenaries. The mercs can be formidable when working together, so divide and
conquer, using your enhanced senses and powerful abilities to scatter foes in a
panic, hunt them down and pick them off one by one.
Mercs can team up with their rivals to
survive, but only the player with the most loot wins. And that means playing
dirty every chance you get. Use your gadgets and the environment to mess with
your adversaries: lock doors to slow them down, trap them in rooms with the
monster, and suck loot out from under them. Should you join forces against the
monster hunting you down, or sneak away to gain the upper hand while everyone
else is busy? The choice is yours, but remember — what goes around comes
around!
Vicious
Circle officially launches on Aug.
13, 2019, on Windows PC and is available to wishlist now on Steam.

Sometimes an announcement just doesn’t go as planned and the surprise leaks ahead of time but Capcom has rolled with this latest leak as they have just decided to provide the official announcement early for Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition fans. The game will be adding E. Honda, Lucia, and Poison to the playable roster on August 4th where they will be priced at $5.99 a piece or 100,000 in-game Fight Money. This announcement also comes with the addition of the ever familiar bath house stage called “Honda Sento.”
Those who want to simply buy the characters as well as get some special Battle Costumes and Default Colors 3 through 10 can choose to purchase them together in a bundle on August 5th for $14.99. Those who want to see all three of these characters in action in Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition, currently available on PlayStation 4 and PC, can check out their trailers as well as some screenshots for each of them below.
NIS America has released a new trailer for Destiny Connect: Tick-Tock Travelers that gives players a brief look at what they can expect in the game that sees the town of Clocknee celebrating the arrival of a new millennium when time suddenly comes to a halt and a horde of hostile animated machines appears. It’s up to a young girl named Sherry, her friend Pegreo, and Isaac, the time-traveling robot, to unravel the mystery behind the strange events.
The trailer can be found below while the game itself is set to be released on the PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch in North America on October 22nd and in Europe on October 25th.
Early last month it was revealed that Marvelous was working on Story of Seasons: Friends of Mineral Town, a remake of an older game in the franchise, and now the company has released some screenshots and artwork showing off some of the bachelorettes and bachelors that will be in the game as well as a bit of farming, animal raising, the town, and some in-game events.
The girls introduced this time are Mary, a girl who loves books and is writing one herself and works at the front desk of her father’s library, and Elli who is a serious and hardworking girl that works at the town hospital with the hope of becoming a nurse. The boys happen to be Gray, a blacksmith in training that can be rude and stressed at times but his careless attitude changes when meeting the player, as well as the game’s doctor that always is thinking about the patient and has a serious personality but he does want to interact more cheerfully with his patients.
Story of Seasons: Friends of Mineral Town is currently set to be released on the Nintendo Switch in Japan on October 17th and has already been confirmed for release in the West sometime in the future.
1C Entertainment (Re-Legion) and Layopi Games announced major changes to the release schedule for their third person action game Devil’s Hunt. The PC version will release on schedule on September 17th via Steam. The console version of the game has been delayed until Q1 2020. There is a silver lining for gamers though. For PC gamers, the console delay means developers Layopi Games will have more time to polish the PC version. For console gamers, a Switch version of the game has just been announced. It will launch alongside the previously announced PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions.
Devil’s Hunt stars Desmond, an all-round unpleasant individual who now finds himself as humanity’s unlikely hero after making a deal with the devil. Now he’s punching his way through Heaven, Hell, and everything in between as he picks sides in the war between angels and demons.
2K are releasing new trailers for Borderlands 3at a fast and furious pace as the September 13th release date draws near. Today, Moze the Gunner has her time to shine in the new trailer. Moze is co-starring with her Iron Bear Mech as she talks about the disastrous last mission she was sent on with the Vladof army. Now a freewheeling Vault Hunter, Iron Bear and Moze work closely together fighting off bandits, hungry wildlife, and anything else that dares to cross the pair. Accompanying the video is a preview of her abilities on the official Borderlands 3 blog.
We’ve met Zane and Moze, so we can expect trailers for Amara the Siren and Fl4k the Beastmaster soon.
Borderlands 3 is scheduled to launch on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC via Epic Games Store.

August 2, 2019—Tank Festival, a brand-new collection of in-game events is launching to

and runs until October 7, 2019.
Throughout the festival, players will be able to complete tasks, earn Tickets and get plenty of goodies. Also, everyone will be able to create their own special Dog Tag, which will be seen by enemies after being destroyed, and collect many unique customization elements for it. Once the collection has been completed, players will be able to use their Tickets in the Festival Shop, which offers valuable rewards previously only available during special events.
“We’ve been hard at work on Tank
Festival and all its events for a long time,” states Maxim Chuvalov, Publishing
Director, World of Tanks. “We’re really excited to be bringing back Tank Races,
a mode that the community has been asking for, and introducing something
completely different in Steel Hunter. Plus, with the sheer amount of rewards on
offer, we’re sure our players are going to love Tank Festival!”
Czech

9 and running until August 19, the opening act of Tank Festival is a
Czech-focused set of chained missions, and they will all be accomplishable for
both veterans and newcomers. Players will be able to earn heaps of rewards,
including Blueprints for the Czech tech tree and a unique 3D style for the

square kilometers, commanders are tasked with fighting off enemy attacks or
breaking through enemy defenses, depending on their assignment.
The focal point of Episode 8 is the addition of a new map.
Set in the suburbs of a post-WWII Central European city, it’s filled with open
terrain, small towns, ruins and many more points of interest. Also with Episode
8, the most skilled and persistent players can finally add the unique AE Phase I, a Tier IX American
heavy tank with four tracks, to their tank collection.
Steel
Hunter (Late August)
Players will find themselves in a mysterious Zone, which

‘HEAVE HO’ STARTS RUINING RELATIONSHIPS ON AUGUST 29
– Warm Up Your Grip with Free Party Demo on Steam –
Paris – Independent developer Le Cartel and tight-gripped game label Devolver Digital have announced physics-based local multiplayer adventure Heave Ho swings onto Nintendo Switch and PC on August 29. The next great couch co-op game also has a free Heave Ho ‘Party Demo’ available starting today on Steam – perfect for any meetups, events, and game nights [heavehogame.com].
Heave Ho tasks up to four players with a simple goal – don’t fall to your death! Players will use their own two hands and the outstretched grip of their friends to grapple across each level on their way to victory. Grab one another’s hands, climb across dangling bodies, and swing your pals to safety in a wobbly, dangly mass of limbs. Customize your character with all manner of stylish accessories and zany accouterment in a vain attempt to remember who you are and which of your hands is the only thing between you and the plummet of doom.
Devolver Digital and LeCartel spent the spring and summer touring Heave Ho around at every major game event around the world where it was met with rave reviews and uproarious laughter. Heave Ho will launch at PAX West 2019 in Seattle where it will also be playable on a 15 foot LED wall at the Devolver Digital booth.
