Activision and developer Treyarch have announced that the Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 Vault Edition operator T.E.D.D. is getting a makeover based on "recent feedback."
In a social media post, Treyarch showed off T.E.D.D.'s new look, and it's pretty significant. "We think it's pretty face-melting," the developer said, referencing how the new design has T.E.D.D.'s face melted off. In the original version (see below), T.E.D.D. has a human-looking face covering his robotics.

Former Bethesda executive Pete Hines has opened up on some of the predictions people made about Bethesda games over the years, and why he stuck to his guns when others doubted him.
Speaking to dbltap, Hines said people questioned if The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind would even work as an Xbox exclusive, or if The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim could find success with its release date--November 11, 2011--being so close to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 (November 8, 2011).
"'Oh, Skyrim can't survive...

As spotted by X user OatmealDome, Ryan Michael Daly was found by a district court in Washington to have damaged Nintendo through his production and sale of modded...

Battlefield 2042’s recently released “Road to Battlefield 6” battle pass has proven to be a popular addition. Given it offers multiple cosmetic items for the upcoming Battlefield 6, a boost in active players makes sense. And with a more active community now playing the game, EA has announced that a small hotfix update is coming tomorrow, September 9.
The main issue seemed to be based on progression. Some of the weekly missions involving the M1 Garand, for instance, weren’t tracking...
Battlefield 6 isn't out for another month, but a leaked gameplay clip from a recent Battlefield Labs playtest has revealed the return of a fan-favorite feature from Battlefield 1--dirt and mud buildup on weapons.
As seen on the Battlefield subreddit, an uploaded gameplay clip from user Ter-Lee-Comedy of a recent Battlefield Labs playtest shows players' guns will once again become covered in mud, blood, and grime over the course of a battle. The feature was first added in Battlefield 1 and...
Darksiders 4 was officially announced in 2025 during a showcase for developer THQ Nordic, and many longtime fans of the franchise are curious about its release date, story, and gameplay. The last time we saw the Darksiders franchise was in 2019 with the release of Darksiders Genesis, a prequel to the original trilogy. This game was met with positive reviews from critics and fans alike, but after radio silence from THQ Nordic for several years, many players thought it could be the last time...
In early 2024, Disney invested more than a billion dollars in Fortnite creator Epic Games and announced some sort of new Disney-powered metaverse experience. We've already seen a few aspects of this deal come to fruition, like Fortnite skins for the Incredibles and the Disney Villains, plus new Marvel and Star Wars-themed seasons. There's been a lot of Disney in Fortnite since that announcement, in other words.
But the big Disney x Fortnite metaverse mode has yet to see the light of day...
Astro Bot is celebrating its 1-year anniversary today, September 6, 2025. Below, we reflect on what the plucky robot has come to represent for some burgeoning gamers.
More than 30 years ago, I fell in love. I was visiting extended family with my parents and two siblings, and the object of my affection was a boxy gray-and-black video game console hooked up to an equally boxy CRT television. I had seen video games before in arcades, and had played some rudimentary Mac games on our family...
File optimization for large games like Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 sounds like good idea, especially when more space is needed on consoles. The latest Black Ops 6 update went live this week and it appears to have significantly shrunk the file size. It's also caused issues with some players and seemingly deleted the game from their systems.
A member of GameSpot's staff shared screenshots that demonstrated a drop from 222.1 GB before the update to 122.8 GB afterwards.
On top is the Call of...
For a game that's been out for 18 years, Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords has had a lot of staying power, especially after the 2019 remaster, Puzzle Quest: The Legend Returns. However, The Legend Returns is going to be delisted soon because Puzzle Quest is getting yet another remaster.
The new version of the game is called Puzzle Quest: Immortal Edition, and it's coming to Switch, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and PC on September 18. Infinity Plus One...

The Fortnite Battle Royale subreddit caught fire Thursday night as many people reported that they were greeted with a pretty upsetting prompt when they logged into Fortnite, with the game telling them they'd had cosmetic items and/or V-Bucks revoked from their accounts. It was an unusual situation because it happened to so many different people at once, and in some cases removed items that the player had for months. When Epic Games finally commented about the situation on Friday morning, it...
XP has been a regular topic of conversation among Fortnite players during Chapter 6 Season 4, as Epic Games has apparently slashed how quickly most folks will level up just by playing normally. Since this season is a month longer than last season was, it's not a particularly surprising change. Fortunately, Fortnite is easing the burden a bit by offering double XP all weekend. The boost will last until Monday, September 8 at 6 AM PT / 9 AM ET.
Double XP weekends aren't a very common thing in...
With two games in the bag, the finale of the Final Fantasy Remake Trilogy is inevitably drawing closer. Last year saw the middle chapter of the saga, Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth, released on console and PC, and producer Tetsuya Nomura says that Square Enix knows exactly when it'll officially reveal the game. Just don't expect him to provide a reveal date--for the reveal date--for the game announcement just yet.
"It is going very smoothly," Nomura said during a recent Final Fantasy 7 Ever...
