Despite being revealed in 2016, it was believed that The Last of Us Part 2 was not in full production – at least as of earlier this year. Thankfully, Paris Games Week has brought us a much-needed update on the upcoming game from Naughty Dog. The game is now in full production and using an updated engine! No release date was revealed, however, a new trailer (seen above) gave us a look at several new characters. [Update] Naughty Dog has revealed the following information on characters:

Since the Nintendo Switch doesn’t use discs at all, developers must get their games to fit on 16 GB or 32 GB cartridges with the latter being more expensive to produce. L.A. Noire on the Switch will opt to use a 16 GB cartridge for physical copies and have players download the rest of the game via a 14 GB download. If you’re interested in purchasing digitally, you’ll have to swallow the whole 29 GB file size to play the game. L.A. Noire releases on Xbox One, PS4, and Nintendo Switch on November

It looks like EA is preparing to bring us the next Battlefield game at some point within the next year or so! Transcripts of the EA Earnings Call have revealed that the publisher and developer expects to deliver the Next Battlefield game and their upcoming game Anthem in at some point in fiscal 2019. According to the US Federal Government, fiscal 2019 runs between October 1, 2018 and September 30, 2019, which suggests we will be seeing the next Battlefield around the same time we always see a Ba

In just a few short days we’re all going to be able to get our hands on the highly anticipated Call of Duty: WWII. Several years ago, the series brought in a mechanic that is now dreaded by many gamers: loot crates. Sledgehammer Games has stated that their loot boxes are just cosmetic but we have yet to see if that actually holds true. In WWII, the way you open up a loot crate is a bit different than past games. Call of Duty: WWII releases on Xbox One, PS4, and PC on November 3rd, 2017.

It looks like the German PlayStation Store was right about two of the games coming in November’s PlayStation Plus lineup! The official lineup for November has been revealed and it contains two PlayStation VR games, three PS4 games (one of which is a PS3 crossplay title) and more. You can check out the November games below:November 2017 PS Plus:PS4/PSVRWorms BattlegroundsBound (PS4/PS VR)Until Dawn: Rush of Blood (PS Plus bonus – PS VR)PS3R-Type DimensionsRag Doll Kung Fu: Fists of PlasticVita

EA and DICE received negative feedback over the first iteration of loot boxes in Star Wars Battlefront II. Andrew P. Wilson the CEO of Electronic Arts gave a long, long reply when questioned on in-game monetization in Star Wars Battlefront 2. According to Wilson, in the case of Star Wars Battlefront II, content that would have been Season Pass content is free. So Star Wars Battlefront II, feedback from the beta and the added assets that we’ve put in the marketplace have been very strong. When we

The game had a number of DLC packs released and planned, including one called They Shall Not Pass. But we’ve just learned that one map, in particular, will be made free for everyone that owns the base game. As mentioned, it was previously exclusive to those with the They Shall Not Pass DLC or the Premium Pass, which gives access to all Battlefield 1 DLC released. After this, Battlefield 1 apparently continues their full-steam-ahead approach to the holiday season with a new DLC pack called Turnin

With November upon us, we have officially entered the holiday season. That means that we will be faced with Black Friday shopping, Cyber Monday shopping and egregious amounts of food. Luckily, some ads for Black Friday have begun appearing online, which helps with planning. Dell’s Black Friday will begin with 11AM Thanksgiving Doorbusters, followed by the hourly doorbusters starting at 6PM ET and going until midnight. Additionally, there will be hourly doorbusters on Black Friday, starting at 8A

The Han Solo Star Wars spin-off film that Ron Howard took over for has recently finished shooting. After announcing that his reshoots were complete, Howard revealed the official name of the film as Solo: A Star Wars Story. Did Ron Howard save the film, or did the extensive reshoots simply raise the bar on profits to an unobtainable level? It’s Star Wars, so it wouldn’t be totally surprising to see the film turn a crazy profit off of name alone. Solo: A Star Wars Story starring Alden Ehrenreich a

It looks like we might know at least two of the free PlayStation Plus games for November 2017, thanks to the German PlayStation Store. According to the German PS Store, the following games will be available to PlayStation Plus subscribers for free this month. BoundWorms: BattlegroundsBound is a platform ‘and art video game’ that released for the PS4 last year in August. The game was developed by Plastic and received mixed to positive reviews. Worms Battlegrounds is based on the popular Worms fra

During this call, EA suggested to investors that Origin Access/EA Access may soon be launched on additional platforms. EA Access and Origin access are currently available on Xbox One and PC respectively. We’ve been doing a lot of work on Origin Access and EA Access. This statement is particularly interesting, as Sony has previously rejected EA Access for the PS4. It’s possible that they’re aiming to put EA Access on Switch, but there aren’t many EA games on the platform yet.

We learned that EA/Origin Access may come to more platforms than just Xbox One and PC, but they also talked about “live service” games and the now-defunct Visceral Games studio. So what’s the brutally honest reason for the closure of Visceral Games and their single-player Star Wars game they were creating? He claims the Star Wars project wasn’t canned for being single-player, but because a pivot was needed to “deliver the experience players demanded.” This project over at EA Vancouver seems to b

Nintendo is looking to details their Black Friday 2017 details well-before Black Friday rolls around and it looks like we can expect some Nintendo Switch deals, as well as 2DS deals. Really, Nintendo is outlining the entirety of their holiday deals – not just Black Friday. When it comes to the 2DS, Nintendo will be making a Link green Nintendo 2DS system with bright orange buttons with The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D pre-installed on it available for $79.99.

A rumor claimed that a special version ofThe Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild called the Explorer’s Edition would be revealed soon and it’s finally been confirmed! The bundle includes the critically acclaimed Breath of the Wild, a 100-page explorer’s guide, and a two-sided map for the retail price of $59.99. That’s a copy of the game with actual, physical goodies for the price of the original game itself. This is a no-brainer for Zelda fans who haven’t been able to get their hands on the new

Sony took to the Paris Games Week stage yesterday with a wide selection of games to show off. It’s an interesting thought, but Sony’s Paris Games Week presentation was nothing more than a giant advertisement for their top-billed games. The two games had trailers that showed beautiful craftsmanship from developers, both of which included gratuitous violence. Before diving into the perceived violence against women, let’s talk about violence without context. All these criticism’s aside, the majorit

Sony revealed the Norse Mythology-based God of War for PlayStation 4 during E3 2016 and during E3 this year, Sony offered a release window for the PlayStation 4 exclusive. Thanks to Paris Games Week, Sony has yet another update on the upcoming game featuring Kratos and his son. The trailer starts with the father/son duo meeting a Soul Eater. Kratos’ son warns his father of the myth behind the Soul Eater, which ends up not even paying them any mind, to which he says, “Mom made them sound more dan

Now we don’t want to rile anyone up but the DC film universe hasn’t exactly resonated with the majority of people. It has a very vocal fanbase but the films have failed to make any substantial impact with critics aside from Wonder Woman. Superman himself Henry Cavill believes that the reason the movies have suffered is because director Zack Snyder’s vision hasn’t exactly worked out properly. Even if Marvel didn’t exist, he believes it isn’t exactly what a major moviegoing audience is seeking in

Sony came out swinging for Paris Games Week 2017, and one of the biggest games they had to show was a new look at Marvel’s Spider-Man. This version of Spider-Man is in his early twenties, employed in his first ever job, and dealing with real-world non-hero struggles as Peter Parker. As you can tell from the trailer, Peter Parker is a significant part of PS4’s Spider-Man, but so too is Mary Jane. As far as Spider-Man himself, fighting as the wall-crawler is built around four main pillars; melee,

Assassin’s Creed: Origins isn’t even a week old, and Ubisoft is already looking to the future with the game. The company recently made a post on their official website detailing the content that will be coming to the game in the near future. Each pack comes with gear, a new mount skin, and a new outfit. Ubisoft will also be hosting a community stream on Twitch tomorrow, so if you’re looking to get your fix on more Assassin’s Creed: Origins, be sure to check that out. Assassin’s Creed: Origins is

With Rare collecting all kinds of useful player data on the long-running Technical Alpha session, the developer has decided that it is time to roll out a new content update and released a trailer showcasing the highlights. As previously revealed, Sea of Thieves will feature solo play using small vessels that can be captained, managed, and defended, by a single player and is one of the new features that will be hitting the technical alpha. Here’s the trailer:Also, Rare will be implementing a non-
