Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War is allowing cross-progression through all of its game modes. Player experience gained in multiplayer carries over to zombies and eventually into Call of Duty: Warzone. While Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War XP will carry over, there are separate gun challenges for multiplayer and Zombies that players will need to complete. Thankfully, the Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War Zombies challenges are reasonable allowing many fans ample opportunity to complete them....

Virtual reality has had a relatively rough go of it over the past console generation. Though there are a dedicated bunch of VR gamers out there, the concept has yet to broach mainstream appeal, and, with must-have titles like Beat Saber and Half-Life: Alyx—which aren’t even available on PlayStation hardware—being few and far between, the future of the medium seemed to be up in the air until Sony confirmed in mid-June that their PS5 console would maintain support for PSVR....

Yesterday, the official Kojima Productions Twitter account teased some “exciting updates” on its social channels to celebrate the studio’s fifth birthday. Death Stranding has been out a while and we have no idea what the team is working on next. It is exciting! The first thing I did upon hearing the news was to ask if anyone on TheGamer team was about. This could be big news. The only problem? It was happening at 5am UK time....

Horizon Zero Dawn is an excellent game for the most part, although as I’ve written before, its one major flaw is how lifeless its cities are. When you’re out in the wilderness and overcome by the sheer scale and sublimity of nature, Zero Dawn is outstanding. The second you step foot in Meridian or Sunfall, though? The smoke dissipates into thin air and the mirrors are all facing each other like that Spider-Man meme - “no, it was your fault the entire illusion fell apart!...

While the recent deal between Microsoft and Bethesda is groundbreaking for the games industry, Sony won’t lose out as much as many people might think. Last week’s announcement that Microsoft had purchased Bethesda Softworks took the internet by storm. While the news was exciting for Xbox and PC fans, many PlayStation owners grew worried that upcoming titles would no longer be making their way to Sony’s console. Michael Patcher, a well-regarded industry analyst, put these worries to rest, ensuring that Sony and the PS5 will still succeed....

NetherRealm is continuing its hot streak as Injustice 2 seems to be winning over critics and bringing in serious sales. The DC Comics fighting sim expands the successful Mortal Kombat formula by combining iconic characters with a loot system that seems like something out of a Blizzard game. The game’s stat-boosting gear can be unlocked by opening Mother Boxes, so players are already busy grinding through the game’s modes to earn as many of the loot boxes as possible....

Patches and updates are just a natural part of the modern gaming landscape. While patches ranging from new content to hotfixes are commonplace, Rockstar recently had pull the uncommon practice of rolling back an update. Yesterday, Grand Theft Auto 4 received a surprise update to restore the music that was removed earlier this year. Upon installing the update, users across Reddit and Steam forums pointed out that their save data was unreadable....

According to leaked information, Grand Theft Auto Online likely plans to roll out a holiday themed event sometime next week with all sorts of free gifts and items. As most developers typically take time off during this season, many games are getting into the holiday spirit. Titles like Destiny: Rise of Iron and Overwatch have already rolled out holiday specific events, rewarding players with limited time events and exclusive content. Grand Theft Auto Online is another game who typically embraces this holiday season and if newly leaked information is any indication, players should get ready to start throwing more snowballs soon....

Supergiant Games has spent years crafting a library of beloved titles, ranging from the spellbinding Bastion to the melancholic Transistor, but few have reached blockbuster status. This all changed with Hades, a roguelike that reimagines the Greek pantheon as a selection of charming, sexy, and gorgeously presented characters, each of whom have their own deep and alluring stories to tell. I recently caught up with Greg Kasavin, the creative director and lead writer of Hades about the game’s success in the wake of several BAFTA nominations....

In the new Fractal Sunqua Peak, we hear the voice-over of Dessa as she has located another echo and calls fourth skilled warriors from all over to investigate this new Fractal of the Mists....

Guild Wars 2 developer ArenaNet has been having problems over the past several years. The company has suffered layoffs, and there are rumors about canceled projects within. Unfortunately, it seems that another difficult decision has been made by ArenaNet regarding the development of Guild Wars 2. Going forward, ArenaNet has confirmed that it will no longer support the Mac version of Guild Wars 2. The Mac OS version of the MMO will be discontinued starting February 18....

343 Industries reveals the details for the sixth DLC pack known as Memories of Reach coming later this month for Halo 5: Guardians including new gear last seen in Halo: Reach. Since launching in October of last year, Halo 5: Guardians has received a steady stream of content and free updates to keep the experience feeling fresh for online players. Unlike most downloadable content packs however, each update to the game has been free – thanks to the sizable profit that the microtransactions have brought in since launch....

While most Halo fans have been patiently waiting for 343 Industries to wrap up development on Halo Infinite, others are creating new content to fill the gap. One fan in particular has begun creating their own, custom mini-series that follows a new Spartan on a mission investigating a broken ship sometime before the events of Halo Infinite. Normally, machinima wouldn’t be anything new to YouTube, especially in the case of Halo which has been responsible for a huge amount of this type of content over the years....
