Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 is live now, and the game is packaged with a cooperative story and a new Endgame mode, which serves as an open-world epilogue to the campaign.

This includes a limited-time mode for Endgame, and while we don't have any major details, we can say some very massive fights will be taking place across the campaign's Avalon map.

Ubisoft was working on a new Splinter Cell game that was going to embrace games-as-a-service before it shifted to become XDefiant, a game that the publisher shut down not long after release. This is according to Nick Herman, a developer who worked on the game before leaving to start AdHoc Studios, the team that just launched the episodic game Dispatch to great success.
"I was so excited to be a part of this and help revitalize it, because it's been dormant for a while," Herman said told...
The story of Concord is a cautionary tale in the age of live-service games. Years of development and millions of dollars went into the game, only for it to fail at launch and get canceled by Sony weeks later. However, Conord had some fans, and a trio of them worked very hard to bring the game back to life on a server.
As reported by The Game Post, Concord's partial resurrection is due to reverse engineering by a user called Red, a rebuild of the game's backend API by open_wizard, and an...
Epic Games is gearing up for its biggest shake-up to Fortnite Creative since the introduction of the Unreal Editor for Fortnite. Soon, Epic will allow developers who use UEFN to make Fortnite Creative modes, or "islands," to sell in-game items using V-Bucks, the game's real-money currency.
The news, which Epic announced during the Veteran's Day holiday in the US, was not met with much excitement from fans. The way the Fortnite Creative ecosystem is currently crammed with clones of tycoon...
While the latest firmware update for Switch and Switch 2 included several quality-of-life improvements, one consequence appears to be that many third-party docks have been rendered useless. According to Nintendo itself, such a consequence was unintentional.

Activision has once again confirmed that AI tools were used in the development of Call of Duty: Black Ops 7, which is in keeping with tradition for the franchise, as Black Ops 6 utilized AI tools as well. In a statement, Activision said the creative process is handled by humans, with AI tools helping out. Back in August, Activision explained that developers working on Black Ops 7 used generative AI, but "none of that goes in-game."
"Like so many around the world, we use a variety of digital...
Anyone who plays through The Witcher 3: The Wild Hunt is invited to make a choice between the two great loves of Geralt of Rivia: Yennefer of Vengerberg or Triss Merigold. That decision even informs the game's farewell to Geralt. However, CD Projekt Red has recently disclosed that players didn't always get to choose between Geralt's lovers.
CD Projekt Red co-CEO Adam Badowski told PC Gamer that the option to romance Triss was added late in the game. Until then, the team had been focusing on...

Rockstar's Grand Theft Auto 6 is expected to be, by some accounts, the most important release in the history of video games as it relates to helping the video game industry rebound.
