WWE 2K22 MyFACTION Mode Details and Quick Guide Revealed

With its launch just a mere few days away, Visual Concepts and 2K Games have released details on the WWE 2K22 MyFACTION mode, a new mode coming to the series, in addition to a quick guide to help players get started! Check out details on this new mode below, which will give you a taste of what to expect before WWE 2K22 launches this March 11.

First up, what exactly is the MyFACTION mode in WWE 2K22?

MyFACTION is a new take on a classic team-building mode in which players collect, manage, and upgrade an array of WWE Superstars and Legends to create their ultimate four-person factions. Managers and Side Plates boost performance, while Logos, Wallpapers, and Nameplates allow for creative customization.

Here are some tips to remember once you get into the mode:

  • Players must make important choices when it comes to selecting the best Superstars for their factions and deploying the right boosts to take down the competition;
  • In need of some major muscle? Draft your favorite Powerhouse into action, like Big E or Rhea Ripley. If speed and devastating martial arts are in order, a Striker like Shinsuke Nakamura may be the way to go;
  • Between a roster packed with Superstars and Legends, and a wide range of specialized Side Plates, countless combinations are available, and experimentation is encouraged.

2K also revealed that there will be three types of currencies available in MyFACTION:

  • MyFACTION Points – which can be exchanged for card packs and contracts – are awarded for completing matches and challenges;
  • MyFACTION Tokens – which can be used in the Token Rewards market to unlock powerful WWE Superstar and Legend cards – are also awarded for completing matches and challenges; and
  • Virtual Currency – which is available for purchase and can be used exclusively in MyFACTION on card packs, boxes, and contracts.

Additional rewards can be earned in certain MyFACTION modes, including Weekly Towers and Faction Wars, where exciting, limited-time rewards refresh each month. New themed card packs will roll out frequently, offering players a legion of current Superstars and beloved Legends to add to their collections.

There you have it. If you’re looking forward to something different with this latest release in the WWE 2K franchise, then MyFACTION may just be right up your alley.

WWE 2K22 launches on consoles and PC this March 11, with Deluxe Edition and nWo 4-Life Digital Edition holders being able to play early on March 8.

Gran Turismo 7 Won’t Be Available in Russia, Sony Pulls Racer Due to On-Going War

Polyphony Digital’s newest entry to their long-running racing series releases today, but it appears that there’s one country that won’t be able to play it, as Gran Turismo 7 has been pulled from the Russia PlayStation Store by Sony. The most surprising thing about the delisting is the fact that Sony has not made any announcements regarding it, and it took players in Russia discovering it for themselves.

Below is a screenshot taken directly from the Russia PlayStation Store showing that while Gran Turismo 7 is still up, it’s unavailable to purchase:

The text below reads as: “Release date Pending confirmation.”

It’s unclear yet if Sony intends to make a public statement on Gran Turismo 7 in the region’s storefront, so stay tuned for more updates. Together with Bloober Team and CD Projekt RED yesterday, Sony is the third high-profile publisher to pull their game sales in Russia amidst its ongoing invasion of Ukraine.

This move can also be attributed to the Ukrainian Deputy PM’s open letter to the gaming industry a few days ago, in which he calls for solidarity to temporarily block Russia from the game industry at large. In case you missed it, you can read more about it here.

Check out our review of Gran Turismo 7 here, where James wrote, “Gran Turismo 7 represents a true return to form for Polyphony Digital. Despite being the seventh mainline iteration, the team is still able to keep the series feeling fresh with its new coat of paint and innovative technology with its new weather system (and even a new AI tech called “Sophy”). For Gran Turismo players out there thinking this might be a half step measure, it’s not; it’s a full blown experience and so much more. It’s an essential must-play for any fan out there and it just might be my favorite Gran Turismo thus far.”

Thanks to Eurogamer, who discovered this one.

Elden Ring New Trailer Shows Ming-Na Wen Training to Become Elden Lord

Over the past week, millions of players around the world rose up to try and become the Elden Lord, and Bandai Namco has revealed an Elden Ring new trailer showing actress Ming-Na Wen (Joy Luck Club, Street Figher) training to become one herself! Check out the trailer below to see what’s it all about.

Besides this new trailer for Elden Ring, Ming-Na Wen is best known for her long career as a Chinese-American actress in Hollywood. She voice Fa Mulan in the animated movie of the same name, but her most recent role in recent years was in Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD, the ABC series that revolves around the SHIELD organization, where she plays Melinda May. She also played Fennec Shand in The Mandalorian and The Book of Boba Fett, two Disney+ series set in the expansive Star Wars universe.

If you haven’t played Elden Ring yet, you’ll want to give it a go, check out our review of it here, where Sean wrote, “It’s remarkable how well From has managed to expand to a truly open world while keeping their core gameplay intact as well as building on top of it in one massive and impressively polished package. Elden Ring is clearly the culmination of FromSoftware’s past 13 years of experience and development philosophy of the souls franchise. Miyazaki and FromSoftware have crafted something so massive, special, wondrous and triumphant that it’s unfathomable how they can top it. Easily FromSoftware’s best game to date and a genuine masterpiece.”

Rumor: Destiny 2 Vow of the Disciple Raid Details Leaked Online

Possible spoiler territory ahead, as it appears that the Destiny 2 Vow of the Disciple raid details have leaked online! The leak details information such as the various raid encounters, the emblems players will receive, the models and assets for the bosses, pieces of the end cutscene, and more, all datamined by a group from the D2 Leaks Discord server. Check them all out below – at your own risk, of course.

The video from Aussiehalo compiles all of the known leaks for the Vow of the Disciple raid for Destiny 2, although he mentions in the description that:

First and foremost, this is accessible and public information to the credit of the D2 Leaks Discord Sever and their various contributors, and Entity for the cutscene images. Their server can be found here: https://discord.gg/mc82YX32Vk

Secondly, some of this information may be subject to change or a little different once it is live in game, so please keep that in mind. But for the most part we are all fairly confident that this is accurate.

Some of the more pertinent information include:

  • The first and second bosses’ names: Scorn Caretaker and First Disciple, Rhulk, respectively. Rhulk will be the second and final boss, which means that there will be three separate boss encounters.
  • Models for both the Scorn Caretaker and Rhulk were shown.
  • A detailed breakdown of the raid encounters. It appears that it ill start in a barge, followed by the Necropolis, followed by the first boss. Then, players will traverse the Archive, traverse a jumping puzzle, and initiate something called an “Origin Encounter.” Finally, another area shift to where the final boss waits.
  • A new Raid Exotic called Collective Obligation was also leaked. It’s an aggressive pulse rifle, with an ornament called “In Finality.”
  • Conceptual art from the End Raid cutscene was also shown, which reveals Guardians fighting against Rhulk.
  • Completion Emblems for the raid. The Cleaver for regular, and Light of the Dark Sun for the 24-hour achievement.
  • Raid armor models were also shown.

Finally, a parting paragraph was also shown in the end, which shares a teaser of what’s to come next for The Witch Queen:

The Subjugators story will begin after the raid during week 3, with the enclave having a secret puzzle. It will culminate 5 weeks later with us having to survive an incursion on the enclave.

There you have it. As is the case with these rumors, take everything here with a grain of salt until officially confirmed. In case you missed it, check out the latest patch notes for Destiny 2 here, which was released earlier today after a maintenance period.

・More Music Rally songs
・More engine parts to swap
・New Lobby features
・New Time Trials for ‘Sport’ mode
・Improvements to the penalty algorithm and overall quality of online races

That’s about it. If Gran Turismo Sport is anything to go by, then fans have nothing to worry about when it comes to post-launch support.

In case you haven’t checked out our review, we gave it an impressive 9.5/10 score, and said, “Gran Turismo 7 represents a true return to form for Polyphony Digital. Despite being the seventh mainline iteration, the team is still able to keep the series feeling fresh with its new coat of paint and innovative technology.”

Black Ops Cold War New Content Announced, WMD Map & New Weapon Out Tomorrow

Here’s an interesting twist: Activision has today announced Black Ops Cold War new content, and nope, it’s not cosmetic bundles or anything, but in the form of a new map (sort of) and a new weapon! And yes, the new content is free for everyone, and is set to be available tomorrow.

According to Activision, a new update will be released tomorrow (wasn’t specified whether this is a server-side or client-side update) that will bring in the WMD map from Black Ops 1, and the all-new assault rifle the Vargo 52.

Black Ops Cold War New Content for 2022 Details:

General Layout of WMD:

At match start, teams spawn on the left- and right-hand sides of the map, with the left giving immediate access to the Crane and Research power positions and the right side giving immediate access to Silo, Shipment, and Production. The top and bottom paths are equally accessible to both teams.

Many objective modes feature locations on the ground floor in particularly vulnerable areas, considering the map’s many vantage points. A variety of objects offer cover when traveling these high-risk paths, which savvy Operators will certainly take note of when it comes time to push the attack.

Vargo 52 – How to Unlock:

The Vargo 52 is one mean weapon, and it’s particularly effective where versatile equipment reigns – and in Zombies, it can be one of the most devastating assault rifles in the game with the right suite of attachments. Here’s its in-game description: Full-auto assault rifle. Good damage at mid-range with a fast fire rate. Improved muzzle velocity and reliable handling for steady firing control.

And here’s how to unlock the base version in Multiplayer and Zombies:

In Multiplayer:

Using Assault Rifles, deal 1000 damage in 15 different completed matches.

In Zombies:

Eliminate 750 enemies while using an Assault Rifle that has been Pack-a-Punched three times.

Top Tips

  1. Down a Touch. Featuring a predictable upward recoil pattern, it takes just a slight downward press to maintain a straight shot through sustained fire. This is great for long sightlines allowing you, with practice, to be just as lethal at distant fights as you are in midrange battles.
  2. Barrel and a Flashlight. Further improve the Vargo 52’s effectiveness at range by combining the 17.1” VDV Reinforced Barrel attachment paired with a body attachment that increases enemy Reveal Distance. You’ll get a big boost to your effective damage range and bullet velocity, and you’ll see targets at a greater distance when aiming down sights, perfect for dislodging those pesky snipers.
  3. More Rounds, Please. As a fast-firing weapon, it’s easy to chew through your ammo reserves in the heat of battle. You can tackle that issue in a number of ways, either through the Danger Close Wildcard, the Assault Pack Field Upgrade, the Scavenger Perk, or a Magazine attachment that offers more starting ammo. Take your pick and stay in the fight.

There’s also a new weapon bundle set to be released tomorrow called the “Ferrofluid” Weapon Blueprint as part of the “Tracer Pack: Ferro Fury Reactive Mastercraft” Bundle, which is set to go live tomorrow, March 4, too. If you’re interested in snagging that, the bundle will include the following:

  • The “Viscosideath” LMG Blueprint
  • The “Liquid Metal” SMG Blueprint
  • “Bullet Magnet” Charm
  • “Cranial Magnetism” animated Calling Card
  • The “Ferro-Charlie” Sticker
  • The “Spiked” Reticle
  • The “Fluid Manipulation” Gesture.

If there is a title update out for this new content, we’ll be sure to let our readers know. Speaking of updates, a new server-side one was released for Warzone that introduced a nunber of fixes.

Ghostrunner Update 1.000.005 Parkours Out for Project_Hel This March 3

PS5 players rejoice, as One More Level has just released the Ghostrunner update 1.000.005 patch notes this March 4, and this one is for the highly anticipated Project_Hel DLC! Check out the full release notes on this latest patch below.

Ghostrunner Update 1.000.005 Patch Notes | Ghostrunner Project_Hel Patch Notes | Ghostrunner March 3 Patch Notes:

Return to the dystopian Dharma Tower as a brutally powerful antihero in a new campaign for $14.99/€14.99/£12.49 across console and PC platforms globally.

Just prior to the events of the original Ghostrunner storyline, a combat android known as Hel begins her own violent mission: quelling a rebellion at the base of the tower-city. Yet Hel’s true motivation takes root in hatred toward the creators keeping her chained between assignments. Internal programming keeps her from slaughtering them outright, so she begrudgingly follows orders while looking for loopholes to disrupt her creators’ grand plans.
Unlike regular Ghostrunners, Hel contains no biological parts, instead driven by a cobbled-together AI rendering her unstable, impulsive, and angry. These traits manifest in Project_Hel’s new Rage bar. Fill it up by killing enemies to gain abilities injecting fresh blood into Ghostrunner’s one-hit-one-kill combat. Reject death with the attack-negating Shield, bypass enemy defenses with Unblockable strikes, and strike from afar with devastating energy Surges.
Instead of using a Gap Jammer grappling hook like original protagonist Jack, Hel’s powerful Super Jump provides aggressive movement capabilities both for traversal and combat. She can also air dash significantly further and use a Sensory Boost to quickly visualize their trajectory. These differences give Hel her own feel and style appealing to Ghostrunner veterans and newcomers alike. Upgrade her capabilities even further with a revamped progression system.
Face off against new challengers, including four enemy types and two bosses. Carve through the seven imaginative levels while mastering Hel’s intricacies and rebelling against her creators. Ascend the neon cityscapes to the tune of additional tracks from electronic artist Daniel Deluxe. Uncover more context in this action-packed prequel story by gathering hidden collectibles. Learn how Hel rises to become one of the toughest bosses in the original Ghostrunner plot.

That’s about it for the latest patch. We’ll update this post accordingly if there are any more notes released by the studio, especially in terms of fixes or other changes.
