With Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0 launching on November 16, fans of the original Warzone might be wondering what's going to happen to that title going forward. Activision has now revealed the details, confirming in a blog post that it will be rebranded Call of Duty: Warzone Caldera, and the game is losing a number of features and functionality. Activision also confirmed that any cosmetic items you may have purchased for the original Warzone will not carry forward to the new title.

Ahead of Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0's release next week, Activision has shared more details about the next iteration of its popular battle royale game. In a blog post, Activision published a trove of details about the free-to-play game, and it's a lot to take in--here are the high-level points to know.
The new Warzone 2.0 map is called Al Mazrah, and it will have 18 major points of interest for players to explore. Warzone 2.0 also includes a new "experience" called DMZ. This is an...
Unlike 2018's first outing in the rebooted franchise, God of War Ragnarok allows you to visit all nine realms of Norse mythology. This means you've got some new places to discover as well as some returning favorites from the original game. One such revisited realm is the volcanic world of Muspelheim, which houses plenty of combat challenges and loot for you to work for. Opening the gate to get there requires you to combine two halves of a Yggdrasil Seed, though, so read on below for where to...
God of War Ragnarok may be a narrative-focused journey about fatherhood, morality, and destiny, but it's also sporting an abundance of side objectives in its nine realms, most of which you'll need to take care of if you wish to earn the game's coveted Platinum trophy. You could even consider the game to be a Metroidvania-lite, so to speak, due to its reliance on having you revisit locations after earning new skills or items. In other words, you'll be doing plenty of backtracking to get it...
God of War Ragnarok is teeming with optional objectives that span across multiple realms, but one of the earliest you're likely to come across is a quest (known as a Favor here) that tasks you with seeking out Draugr Holes. Each of these spawns a boss called The Hateful that you must destroy to close the hole, and you'll receive a Chaos Spark for each one you defeat. When you've closed all six holes, you'll combine the Chaos Sparks into a Chaos Flame, which can be used to upgrade your Blades...
Somewhat late in God of War Ragnarok, a series of chaotic events will occur that unleashes mayhem across the nine realms in the way of Hel Tears. These realm tears have allowed Hel-walkers to begin flowing into places they shouldn't be, and you'll receive a side-quest (known here as a Favor) sending you across the realms to close all six of the Hel Tears that have been opened. Each one you complete earns you one of six Frozen Sparks, which will all be combined into a Frozen Flame at the end...
You'll have quite a lot of side quests to complete as you explore the nine realms found in God of War Ragnarok. Known as Favors, these optional objectives can sometimes actually be an extremely important part of your gear and weapon progression. One such Favor is "Fit for a King," which you'll start during the Main Quest "The Word of Fate." This Favor requires you to seek out Berserker Gravestones across the nine realms and defeat the Berserker bosses within. There are 10 total Berserker...
If you're wondering how long it'll take to beat God of War Ragnarok, the answer changes based on your playstyle, but one thing is consistent: It's big. Sony Santa Monica's Norse epic is said to be the finale for Kratos' Viking duology, but there are definitely times in the game where it feels like the studio has fit two full games into one. Across an expansive campaign, lengthy and numerous side quests, and tons of map mop-up to do before Kratos can rest his axe by his bedside, your quest to...
One of the most substantial additions to 2018's God of War was the ability to find, craft, and equip a variety of gear to bolster Kratos' stats, and God of War Ragnarok expands on that idea even further. Like in the first game, stats are still tied to specific sets of armor, but this time around, you have a lot more control over how Kratos looks via a new transmogrification system. That is provided you've met a specific requirement. Read on for how to transmog your armor in God of War...
There are plenty of armor sets for Kratos to wear in God of War Ragnarok, and selecting which one is right for you is most certainly a matter of playstyle. If you're the kind who prioritizes a healthy mix of defense and offense, though, you may want to consider the Dragon Scaled Armor. Not only is this set required for the "Dragon Slayer" trophy--it's also a very well-rounded option.
Obtaining the Dragon Scaled Armor will be no quick feat, as it requires you to slay quite a few dragons...
Ragnarok is coming, or so it's been said. In God of War Ragnarok, Kratos and Atreus find themselves in a colder, more dangerous version of the nine realms we saw in 2018's soft reboot. The game is, as expected, massive in size and scope, and it'll take any player a long time to experience it all. That also means it may very well be a daunting, sometimes difficult game to overcome, but it doesn't have to be. With our God of War Ragnarok guides all in one place--right here!--you can not just...
With so many relics to choose from in God of War Ragnarok, you may accidentally overlook one particularly unique one: the Mystical Heirloom. This strange heirloom merely states that it "awakens something dormant, deep down inside of the bearer." If you're confused, don't worry--we'll tell you where to find the Mystical Heirloom, where and how to use it, and why you should.
Consider this guide to contain spoilers for late- and post-game content.

In God of War Ragnarok, the Berserker Gravestones are super-tough mini-boss battles meant to take the place of 2018's Valkyrie showdowns. The game is clearly designed for you to return to most of these quest markers after you finish the story, and we've got a guide on finding all Berserker Gravestones but you might find the Berserker Gravestone in The Forbidden Sands region of Alfheim rather confusing. Here's a quick guide on what you need to do to access this side mission.

God of War Ragnarok is a bigger--and arguably better--game than its 2018 predecessor, and one way to measure its scale is in the crafting menu. There is a lot more to do in this regard, with more customization options, more resources to find, and more builds to focus on when seeking to cater Kratos' kit to your preferred playstyle. It's a lot, so we've built out this crafting guide to help you grasp it as quickly as possible--that ought to give you more time for all the hacking and slashing...
The Halo Infinite Winter Update is now live. This latest update introduces many new features for players, such as the long-awaited Forge mode, the co-op campaign, mission replayability, a free 30-tier battle pass, and more. Unlike Alpha Pack or Interference, this update doesn't serve any narrative purposes but is meant to improve the game in much broader ways. Here's everything you need to know about the Winter Update.
How to play co-op
You'll need to select Campaign from the Main Menu to...
Kojima Productions has announced that over 10 million players have played Death Stranding since the original version's release exactly three years ago on November 8, 2019.

The original Death Stranding was first released on PlayStation 4, and then 505 Games published the PC version in July 2020. This version was also...

It's certainly possible that it will sell out rather quickly, too.

It's worth noting that you'll have to pay $4 shipping unless you buy something else that gets your total to...

The 2022 baseball season is over and MLB The Show 22 has paid tribute to Bryce Harper's aura and the 162 games that were with Finest Of The Franchise. The featured program draws attention to the players who dominated Major League Baseball, and in the most Team Affinity way possible, it taps into today's top stars (Max Scherzer, Manny Machado), rising vets (Xander Bogaerts), and the first-timers (Nico Hoerner, Nestor Cortes) who remain loyal to the name on the front of their jerseys.

Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick has again offered his perspective on subscription services in the gaming business, saying they don't make sense for frontline new releases to launch into on day one.
Speaking during Take-Two's latest earnings call, Zelick said his company has been "very cooperative" with both Microsoft and Sony on their subscription services "when it makes sense for us," but his views regarding subscription services for games as a whole have not changed.
Zelnick maintains that...
