Microsoft finally announced Halo Infinite's release date--December 8, 2021--as part of Geoff Keighley's Gamescom Opening Night Live event on Wednesday. The date is later in the year than many might have expected or hoped for. In fact, it's the latest date in the year ever for a new Halo game, with Halo: Combat Evolved (November 15, 2001) previously holding that designation.For comparison, Halo: Combat Evolved launched in November 2001, Halo 2 debuted in November 2004, Halo 3 came out in September 2007, and Halo 4 launched in November 2008. Halo 5, which is the latest entry in the mainline series, premiered in October 2015.According to Piers Harding-Rolls of Ampere Analysis, Microsoft's decision to release Halo Infinite in December might come down to the company choosing to compromise. After a year-long delay from its original 2020 release date, delaying the game again might have been too costly a decision (although Joseph Staten did recently acknowledge Microsoft considered this). Putting the game out in December might be later than some fans might want, but it allows 343 to stick to its 2021 promise and give the team the time it needs to polish the game.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

The weekly Call of Duty playlist refresh arrived to Black Ops Cold War today, bringing the return of Black Ops 1's Drive-In map, and a new spin on the Double Agent mode. There are also stability fixes for various Zombies maps.New MP PlaylistsKnife Fight 3v3 is back in the featured playlist, and players can also enjoy Drive-In as a 24/7 playlist. While not everyone is a fan of remastered maps, this is the first time Drive-In has been remastered since it was introduced as DLC in 2010's Black Ops 1.Treyarch also puts a new spin on the investigative Double Agent mode with Double Agent: Melee. This seems to be something that could definitely make the mode better, as our initial impressions showed the mode didn't quite work with guns involved, at least when playing in public matches. Double Agent: Melee initially only allows the use of melee weapons and finishing moves, with the exception of those in special roles. Investigators can still earn the Hand Cannon streak, and Double Agents can still earn the Combat Bow.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Publisher EA has confirmed that the beloved Skate franchise will debut on PC for the first time with the rebooted "Skate 4" currently in development.The official Skate Twitter account posted an 11-second video, announcing that Skate is coming to PC.

Here's a look at just how many variants you'll face throughout the game. For more guides, be sure to check out our Aliens: Fireteam Elite guide roundup.Table of Contents [hide]Facehuggers FacehuggersThe original 1979 nightmare fuel, Facehuggers may be fleshy obstacles that can be taken down with just a few rounds, but they make up for their fragility with speed and guile. They can usually be found in eggs in the later levels, where it's always a good idea to destroy them before they can hatch. Should Facehuggers get loose, though, they'll quickly move towards you and attempt to violate your social space, so keep an eye open for them as even a single one can disrupt a well-organized defense.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

For more guides, be sure to check out our Aliens: Fireteam Elite guide roundup.Table of Contents [hide]Pathogen Popper Pathogen PopperSimilar to Facehuggers, Pathogen Poppers are small obstacles that can easily be dealt with, provided that you have enough ammo in your weapons to do so. These proto-Facehuggers usually swarm a player with numbers, and like Runners, they'll climb over walls and ceilings to attack you. They may be easy to deal with, but their relentless leap attacks still make Poppers a force to be reckoned with.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

During a Dying 2 Know presentation at this year's Gamescom, Techland confirmed previous rumors that Dying Light would be heading to the Switch. While it was revealed that Switch players will be getting the game's Platinum Edition, a specific release date for Dying Light was not announced.It doesn't seem that players will be able to choose between a regular version of Dying Light and the game's Platinum Edition.

However, the game's price varies depending on what platform it's being purchased on. On Steam, Dying Light Platinum Edition is currently on sale for $103, while the PlayStation Store lists the game at just $50. As such, the price of the game on Switch is impossible to predict.Dying Light Platinum Edition will also be getting a physical release on the Switch, complete with some extra collectibles. The game will include a survival guide, a two-sided map, and a sticker pack.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Blizzard has announced that it will change Overwatch character McCree's name after its namesake, former Blizzard lead level designer Jesse McCree, was ousted from the company amid the Activision Blizzard sexual harassment and discrimination case."We built the Overwatch universe around the idea that inclusivity, equity, and hope are the building blocks of a better future," Blizzard said in an update posted to Twitter. "They are central to the game and to the Overwatch team. As we continue to discuss how we best live up to our values and to demonstrate our commitment to creating a game world that reflects them, we believe it's necessary to change the name of the hero currently known as McCree to something that better represents what Overwatch stands for."A message from the Overwatch team. pic.twitter.com/2W3AV7Pv6X — Overwatch (@PlayOverwatch) August 26, 2021Blizzard said the change "will take time to roll out correctly," and the company promised to share additional updates on this as it progresses.

The Xbox Mini-Fridge is still on track to release in Holiday 2021, according to Microsoft. In response to someone asking about the mini-fridge, the general manager of Xbox game marketing Aaron Greenberg confirmed that it is still set to release this holiday and the company will share more when they can.Shown as a "World Premiere" during Xbox's E3 2021 showcase, the Xbox Mini-Fridge is shaped like an Xbox Series X console and appears to hold about 10 12oz cans inside. It had been previously confirmed to be in production after Xbox narrowly beat Skittles in a social media brand competition. The fridge was originally made to capitalize on people saying the console looks like a fridge, with a full-size one given to Snoop Dogg. The full-size version was also added to Dirt 5 as free DLC for all Xbox Game Pass Ultimate members.People may have been concerned that the mini-fridge was going to miss its Holiday 2021 release window since it did not make an appearance during the Gamescom 2021 Xbox stream or during Gamescom Opening Night Live. Microsoft did announce other hardware coming this year to celebrate both the launch of Halo Infinite on December 8 and the 20th anniversary of Xbox. Microsoft announced the Halo Infinite Elite Controller and the Halo Infinite Xbox Series X, both of which are limited-edition items.Info from Gamespot.com
