The newly announced Halo 1 remake that brings the series to PlayStation for the first time has no multiplayer support. It is a campaign-only experience. Why is that?
Executive producer Damon Conn addressed this in a post on Xbox Wire. "Focusing on the campaign experience means we can concentrate fully on really capturing the atmosphere, tone--the emotional impact of what made the first campaign so special and iconic," Conn said.
While there is no multiplayer in the new Halo: Campaign...

During the Halo World Championships today, Microsoft and Halo Studios officially announced Halo: Campaign Evolved. It’s described as a "faithful yet modernized" remake of the 2001 game, and it's set for release in 2026 on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. It will launch into Game Pass. And to be clear right up front, this is called Halo: Campaign Evolved because it's campaign-only. There is no head-to-head multiplayer, though online and local campaign co-op is supported.

Arguably the Microsoft crown jewel franchise, Halo, is coming to PlayStation for the first time. It's true that the sci-fi series has seen better days and may no longer be Microsoft's top-performing franchise, but Halo is basically synonymous with Xbox, and now it's making the jump to PlayStation in a development that would have shocked anyone reading this years ago.
Halo will come to PS5 via Halo: Campaign Evolved, the just-announced remake of the 2001 original. It's slated for release in...

Earlier this week, Activision debuted a new trailer for Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 that sent Peter Stormare's The Replacer to outer space, where he promptly doomed influencer/boxer Jake Paul out of negligence by launching him into the void. Now, Activision is keeping the joke alive by giving Paul his own star.
On the official Call of Duty social media accounts, Activision designated star JP-7 for Paul. However, the image used implies a Jake Paul constellation.
The original ad is a parody...
The Octopath Traveler series began with a funny name and a bold concept: eight individual stories converging in one connected world, all presented in a retro "HD-2D" aesthetic that paid homage to Square Enix's beloved 16-bit era. Octopath Traveler 2 expanded on the concept further, and this year, Octopath Traveler 0 is once again making the already-massive RPG even broader, using the core story of the mobile game Champions of the Continent and transforming it into a full-fledged Octopath...
According to Shawn Layden, a live-service game "isn't really a game." The former PlayStation executive said in an interview that a live-service game is better described as a "repetitive action engagement device."
Then what is a game? Speaking to The Ringer, Layden said a game needs three elements. "I need a story, I need a character, and I need a world," he said. "And Horizon, God of War, and Uncharted have all three of those things," he said. "If you're doing a live-service game, you just...

With Borderlands 4 being a Borderlands game, you'll inevitably come across a piece a gear that just won't shut up. Borderlands 2 had The Bane, a unique submachine gun that screamed incessantly; meanwhile, Borderlands 3 had The Unkempt Harold, a legendary pistol that made illogically funny statements. Borderlands 4 is no different, with the legendary shield Cindershelly treating you like a sub to its dom. But, apparently, this armament wasn't supposed to bark smutty lines as often as Gearbox...
Nostalgia is a beautiful thing, which is why Sony finally opted to make its previously limited-time 30th Anniversary themes a permanent part of the PS5 experience. If you're looking to breathe a bit of old-school PlayStation love into your PS5 UI and sound profile, you can choose themes based on previous generations of Sony's consoles--ranging from PS1 to PS4--for a healthy dose of retro charm.
Changing your PS5 theme is an easy affair that just requires a quick trip into your system...

Diablo 4 Season 10 ends in a little over a month, and Blizzard is looking to help give players a little extra help to see their season journey through to completion with two limited-time events.
Starting on October 28, Diablo 4's Mother's Blessing event will return once again, doling out increased XP and gold. Past Mother's Blessing events have gifted players a 35% increase to XP and a 50% increase to gold, so expect the same this time around.
Sweetening the deal is a new Seasonal...

Activision has released a new trailer for Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 featuring Peter Stormare's fan-favorite fictional character, The Replacer. But the twist with this new ad is that The Replacer is busy on a space flight to Mars with celebrities, so he needs to call in "Replacer replacers."
Activision said in a news release that the video is a "tongue-in-cheek play on the Blue Origin celebrity space adventure we saw unfold this year, but this time things go sideways…"
That's a reference to...
There are few unmade video games more famous than Silent Hills and its beloved Playable Trailer. Although P.T. is now very hard to find since Konami took it offline, an instructor in Japan is using it as a tool to teach students how to speak English.
Tsunan Secondary School in Niigata Prefecture shared a blog entry (via IGN) that demonstrated how an assistant language teacher utilized P.T. in class as a learning tool. Students were invited to play through P.T. in English, while other...
Battlefield 6 has posted some impressive numbers since launch, but right now, it looks like the game has some competition. While Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 won't be out until next month, indie eggs-traction shooter Escape From Duckov is busy climbing the charts on Steam.

Xbox boss Phil Spencer got pretty candid at the Paley International Council Summit in California, saying that protecting creativity is important to the gaming giant but that it hasn't been the best at doing that as of late.
During the moderated discussion with Double Fine head Tim Schafer (via PC Gamer), Spencer expressed how valuable it is for not just game companies but the media industry writ large to shield the creative teams that pour their hearts and souls into the work they produce...
The first week for Ball X Pit was pretty good, according to Devolver Digital and developer Kenny Sun. They rolled out statistics for the action-roguelite game and revealed it's sold over 400,000 copies so far. Keep in mind that Ball X Pit is available on Xbox Game Pass, too, a subscription service that doesn't account for traditional sales.
On X, the official Ball X Pit account shared the first-week numbers. Other notable highlights for the game--which launched October 15--include hitting...
