Call of Duty: WW2

It’s that time of the year again. You know, when a new Call of Duty releases and basks us in a year-long spree of microtransactions, balance changes, jokes about MLG, Doritos and Mountain Dew and DLC. However, at least this year’s Call of Duty: WW2 has the benefit of going back to a bygone era for the franchise. As the name implies, it takes place during World War 2 with a highly cinematic campaign that will encompass various theaters of the conflict. This also means that multiplayer will do away with the futuristic jetpacks and wall-running in favour of run and gun gameplay. There are some new features like a social space to meet other players, Divisions to enlist in and build different classes, the new War mode which presents a huge conflict in multiplayer for the first time and of course, a new Zombies campaign with Nazi Zombies returning. Will it help reinvigorate the franchise? We’ll find out when Call of Duty: WW2 releases on November 3rd for Xbox One, PS4 and PC.

THQ Nordic has announced Black Mirror, a revival of the spine chilling point and click adventure series. The original game released all the way back in 2004, and was followed by two sequels over the next decade. This new game, however, will have nothing to do with any of those titles, and it will tell an entirely new story.

Black Mirror is being developed by KING Art Games, and it will thematically follow from the original games (even as it is narratively separated from them). The gameplay has been re-imagined and will now focus on the investigation of the nightmarish visions that protagonist David Gordon has, slowly examining his psychological distress and disintegration over the course of the story.

“In terms of atmosphere, the outstanding feature of the Black Mirror game series is the unique atmosphere which was essentially created by KING Art in the original trilogy. We have developed a new interpretation that both retains the strengths of the original games and gives us more room to explore fresh possibilities in terms of gameplay so that players can experience the world of Black Mirror in a more direct and free way, and not “just” in classic point-and-click style,” said Martin Kreuch, Producer at THQ Nordic, about the new game.
