Much of the post also details the ways Blizzard is seeking to improve its work culture following a series of lawsuits and other legal action alleging widespread gender-based discrimination and sexual harassment at Activision Blizzard (with Blizzard being particularly implicated). Ybarra points to the hiring of full-time positions devoted to improving culture and a commitment to taking a “deep look at the mission, vision, and values upon which Blizzard was built....

As reported by Insider Gaming, the game’s files revealed that football players such as Lionel Messi, Neymar, and Paul Pogba will be among the operators. While it is not yet clear how these unique operators will be introduced in the new entry in the Call of Duty series, they will likely be part of some special football-themed event. You can find the full list of leaked Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II footballers operators below:...

The teaser website, which can be reached here, features a countdown that will end in 6 days and 19 hours at the time of writing. Interestingly enough, the countdown seems to coincide with this year’s Capcom Pro Tour Season Final event, so there’s a very good chance that this new reveal will be related to the Street Fighter series. A new Street Fighter reveal may not be the only thing Capcom has in store for this week....

The new PCIe Gen 5 NVMe SSDs from CFD Gaming change their overall design. First, the company designed a 20mm heatsink larger than previous models. The company’s website describes that they have chosen to use thermal paste, which references “thermally conductive silicone,” in place of the last standard of thermal pads. This change is slated to offer better performance in conducting heat from both the heatsink and the SSD. A small fan is located on the top to allow for adequate cooling, but the website does not mention the size....

First Batch of NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 40 Series Graphics Cards To Be Dispatched To Chinese Suppliers In Less Than A Month, Alleges Rumor The rumor comes from Ilya Korneychuk of PRO-Hi-Tech who recently stated in his YouTube video that the first batch of NVIDIA’s upcoming GeForce RTX 40 series graphics cards is expected to be dispatched in less than a month. The YouTuber alleges that the information comes from his own Chinese Supplier but this shouldn’t mean that the cards are expected to hit retail shelves the same day as the embargo on that may be very different....

As reported by GamesIndustry, this year’s Call of Duty entry was the best-selling game in November and has almost surpassed the lifetime sales of Vanguard – a game that has been on sale for one year. The second-best-selling game in the UK for last month was God of War Ragnarok for both PS5 and PS4. As reported by GamesIndustry’s Christopher Dring, sales for sales were up 44% compared to 2018’s God of War....

Truth. Transparency. Fiduciary duty. These words do not appear to exist for key intermediaries in the crypto sphere, setting the stage for the mother of all contagions as the blowback from the FTX saga shows no sign of halting. Today, the venture capital company, Digital Currency Group (DCG), was forced to pen a letter to its shareholders to soothe the fraying nerves. Will this suffice? Let’s find out. Digital Currency Group owns five major companies: CoinDesk, the crypto mining equipment retailer Foundry, the crypto brokerage firm Genesis, the digital assets exchange Luno, and Grayscale Investments, the company behind the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC)....

A lot is being said and written about the Barlog’s upcoming sequel to 2018’s God of War, God of War Ragnarok, and on Twitter, the designer replied to a tweet about internet user interest between “God of War” and “Starfield”. The presented graph appears to show global interest in both search terms over the past 12 months. Barlog didn’t respond to the comparison but merely said that he’s extremely excited for the upcoming sci-fi RPG and that he will actually take off time from work upon the game’s release in order to play it....

Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Reunion centers alongside a lifelong friend of Cloud Strife and an ancillary friend to several key players across all of Final Fantasy VII, Zack Fair. While already an action RPG spinoff that played quite differently from its namesake, Crisis Core’s upcoming Reunion remake enhances that action combat to be more in line with Final Fantasy VII Remake’s newer designs while retaining some of what made the original Crisis Core so unique: the DMW slot system....

Driver Apparently Reached the Desired Location but Only Took a Photo of the Customer’s Home Instead of Delivering the iPhone 13 Pro Max Package Khaoula Lafhaily, 32, was supposed to receive her shiny new iPhone 13 Pro Max from Sky Mobile. She bought the flagship on a 36-month contract for £1,500. After receiving the package and opening it, Lafhaily was shocked and disappointed to find out that she only received a bottle of hand soap, and that too, an inexpensive one....

As the new Phantom Liberty teaser trailer hints, V will be enlisted by the New United States of America. What exactly you’ll be doing for the government is unclear, but as Johnny Silverhand warns (it sounds like Keanu Reeves will be returning), whatever it is is probably a “bad idea.” You can check out the debut Phantom Liberty teaser trailer for yourself, below. Well, consider me intrigued! Phantom Liberty’s visuals are certainly impressive, although hopefully this isn’t a case of CD Projekt Red overpromising like they’ve done in the past....

As spotted by Twitter account ‘PlayStation Game Size’, which pulls information from the official PlayStation database, the PS5 version also packs an alternate cover, which, in our opinion, looks quite great. Although no further details were shared, new database listings usually don’t start appearing close to an actual release, which does seem to suggest that the native PS5 version of Cyberpunk 2077 could be released relatively soon. 🟥 #Cyberpunk2077 pic....

The new Dead Space never actually had a release window officially announced, but according to a new insider report from GamesBeat’s Jeff Grubb, EA and Motive have quietly reset their sights on a 2023 release date. Per Grubb, the Dead Space remake is coming together well and impressing people within EA, but the goal is to make a game that matches Capcom’s Resident Evil 2 remake in terms of quality, which means more time to polish and refine will be needed....

The USG Ishimura has received a pretty major update, looking much more detailed than in the past. Motive is also bringing the ship to life with some nice-looking lighting and environmental effects. We also get a first peek at zero-G exploration, which promises to be intense. As for the necromorphs, they’re as disgusting as ever, particularly after they’ve lost a couple of limbs. But hey, enough of my preamble, check out the Dead Space trailer for yourself, below....

Kojima himself briefly talked about Death Stranding 2 during the sixteenth episode of the Brain Structure podcast, available for listening to on Spotify. As summarized by MP1st, the renowned game designer said this wouldn’t be a regular sequel. He also teased that technological advancements will allow for new features to be added. I believe a lot of people liked Sam, and I’m hoping those people return to Death Stranding 2....

Released in late August with DLSS 2 support, the open world action/adventure title powered by Unreal Engine 4 is now being updated with DLSS 3. Ahead of the addition of DLSS Frame Generation, we discussed implementing this technology with Eric Urocki, Executive Art Director of German developer Black Forest Games. We also learned that the studio’s next game will be developed with Unreal Engine 5, and Urocki anticipates that RTX 40 Series features like Shader Execution Reordering, Opacity Micro-Maps, and Displaced Micro-Mesh will be used if supported by Epic’s game-making toolset....

Blizzard’s most recent Diablo release on consoles. Diablo III, runs via backward compatibility on Xbox Series X|S, and while the Xbox One X managed to upscale the game to 4K resolution, a bug prevented the game from doing the same on the Series X. To date, the game was locked at 1080p resolution on Microsoft’s powerhouse, and as promised by Blizzard back in February of this year, a fix is now being released....
