Who says zombie games are dying (little undead humor there, folks!)? It’s certainly not the case for Saber Interactive’s World War Z! Publisher Focus Home Interactive has announced that the World War Z game sales have now passed over one million units sold in just the game’s first week of release!
What’s interesting here is, World War Z isn’t even available on Steam, and is exclusive on the Epic Games Store for PC. According to Saber Interactive CEO Matthew Karch, World War Z had 70,000 concurrent players during its launch week, with the PS4 and Xbox One player counts at a “similar distribution” rate.
Overall the U.S. and EU have been equally strong in sales. We have had 70,000 people playing at once across all platforms, with very similar distribution among PC (Epic Games Store), PS4 and Xbox. What surprises us is the fact that sales outside of the U.S. on the Epic Store have been so strong, with the U.S. being only one quarter of sales. – Matthew Karch, Saber Interactive CEO

True to their word, BioWare has rolled out the Anthem 1.10 update scheduled for today, and it’s out on all platforms. Clocking in at 3.7GB on PS4 and Xbox One, and 4GB on PC, the Anthem update is expected to include a new Stronghold mission, as well as a bunch of gameplay improvements and fixes.
Unfortunately, official patch notes are not live yet, but once we know every little fix and tweak BioWare has done, we’ll be sure to update the post. Here’s to hoping that the new Stronghold breathes new life into the game, and that the loot drops is part of the gameplay improvements for today’s Anthem patch.
In the meantime, make sure to bookmark our Anthem game hub for the latest Anthem-related news.
If you’ve managed to get your hands on Mortal Kombat 11 early, or have started to play it today, you might have noticed that the game isn’t as generous with its rewards compared to past iterations of the franchise. More specifically, some people have complained that the Krypt and Tower of Time progression felt a little too stingy and grind-y.
Fortunately for us, NetherRealms Studios is listening! In a livestream for Mortal Kombat 11, NetherRealm addressed this Mortal Kombat 11 progression grind, and mentioned that a patch is coming “ASAP.”
We do have a fix coming out ASAP to address our players having those problems…to address balance, and to address the rewards you get for playing. – NetherRealm Studios on Mortal Kombat 11 progression
We don’t know when this fix or patch will actually drop. I mean, “ASAP” can mean today, tomorrow, next week, etc., but we’ll keep an eye out when it’s actively implemented for sure.
You should check out all the Mortal Kombat 11 Fatalities for every character available at launch right here. Stay tuned to our Mortal Kombat 11 review, which will factor in the patch for progression, hitting the site soon.
While almost every multiplayer shooter these days is integrating some sort of battle royale mode, that won’t be the case with 343 Industries’ upcoming Halo Infinite. This was confirmed by the studio over on video game forum ResetEra when answering a rumor about it.
According to 343, the studio is not currently — and has no plans to — do a Halo Infinite battle royale mode of any sort, and what’s more, players can technically create their own Halo battle royale in Forge. Check out the full quote below.
We will not talk about the launch content of Halo Infinite until we’re ready. I haven’t watched the video so if I am misinterpreting the headline as “‘Halo Infinite is launching with/as a Halo Battle Royale mode” that is still not the case. You can probably make your own Battle Royale mode in Forge even right now though. It’s a mode not a genre. And all the variants out there now are in my opinion quite radically different from my perspective. Apex vs Fortnite is chalk and cheese – one focuses on movement and map traversal and the other on building and budgeting. Like CTF. BTB Super Fiesta (for example) contains a lot of the shenanigans and emergent fun of that kind of large experience but big sandbox modes are not Battle Royale any more than Oddball is CTF. The launch modes for MP are not 100% defined and are subject to change till quite late in the process – but Battle Rifle will still be there. So you can have BR. But are we interested in big social modes with loads of organic shenanigans? Yes. Specifically A blimp full of survivors heading to an Island after a (metaphorical) lecture from Beat Takeshi? No.
We are NOT doing this as of now – and no plans to — but Battle Royale could be made for any of the Halo games in MCC or 5 with some content and scripting additions, because it is a mode. It would have limits based on each engine. I’m pointing that out to be clear that it’s one of the ways we think about gameplay possibilities rather than a single direction for a title.
That’s very cut and dry, no? And let’s face it, if you want to play battle royale, there’s a ton of games out there right now that’s offering it, and 343 is right regarding how the mode can be recreated in the Forge as well.
Is this good or bad news for you? Let us know your thoughts below.
While the Mortal Kombat franchise has moved on from being a one-trick pony known for its gruesome Fatalities when the original game was introduced, these finishing moves are still, no doubt, one of the game’s highlights even if they don’t affect the outcome of a match.
Given Mortal Kombat 11’s huge roster, it might take you quite a couple of matches to see every character’s finishing move. If you’d rather see it right now even before the game’s release, we’re here to help. Below, you’ll see all Mortal Kombat 11 Fatalities for all available characters (via GameSpot YouTube!
Don’t forget, that video doesn’t contain the Fatalities of the DLC fighters, of which, there’s sure to be a plenty of given the franchise’s post-launch history. Speaking of which, don’t forget to check the complete (for now) DLC fighters list which was obtained from the game’s files.
Stay tuned to MP1st’s Mortal Kombat 11 review which will be hitting the site soon.
While BioWare has been rather quiet regarding Anthem recently, that silence is about to be broken tomorrow as the next Anthem update has been confirmed for tomorrow!
Over on Reddit, BioWare announced that Anthem update 1.1.0 will be released tomorrow, and will bring in a new Stronghold, various game improvements and fixes. The full patch notes will be revealed tomorrow as well before the patch is released.
Our next game update (1.1.0) will be released tomorrow with the new Stronghold and various other game improvements and fixes. We will detail all of that out in our patch notes tomorrow, as well as give an update on the 90-Day calendar.
You’ll need to download the client update after the servers come back online following the scheduled maintenance. Be sure to follow EAHelp for updates on that.
If you’re doing the math, this means you’ll actually have a chance to try out the update before our livestream, which I believe is a first!
Hopefully, this fixes a lot of the issues players have with Anthem. Or at the very least, make loot drops more satisfying. Once the patch notes are available and the actual patch is out, we’ll be sure to let our readers know.
There’s been a bunch of stuff datamined for Battlefield 5. There are character skins, upcoming game modes and more. Well, today, you can add melee weapons to the list!
Once again dug up by reliable Battlefield 5 dataminer temporyal, a slew of Battlefield 5 new melee weapons have been dug up, and there’s a dagger, a sword, and what even looks like a burned piece of wood! Check the Battlefield 5 new melee weapons below along with a Panzerschreck RPG in the mix for size comparison’s sake.
It’s unclear as of now when these melee weapon skins will be available, but when we do, we’ll make sure to let our readers know. DICE will definitely announce the weapon skins’ availability once they can.

If you ever wanted to try Street Fighter 5 but got intimated by the legions of pros and wanna-be pros, now’s your chance to jump in and get you feet wet without coughing a cent! Capcom has announced that Street Fighter 5 is going free-to-play (F2P) — for a limited time, that is.
Starting today, April 23 at 1 p.m. PT and running until May 5, gamers can try out Street Fighter 5 F2P on both PS4 and PC! Below are the download links as well as the official details straight from Capcom. Note that for PS4 users, a PS+ membership is required to play online.

As a bonus, four fan-favorite DLC characters will be available for free during this trial: Akuma, Blanka, Juri and Menat! These four characters will only be available in Ranked, Casual, Battle Lounge, Training, and Challenges.
For those of you who already own Street Fighter V and Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition but have not yet acquired Akuma, Blanka, Juri or Menat, these four characters will be unlocked to you during the free trial period as well. If you decide to purchase any of these characters during the trial, you keep any progress made with each character.
Arcade – Introduced in Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition, this mode allows you to relive the past main entries in the series. If you’re able to defeat all the computer-controlled opponents under various conditions, you can unlock over 200 unique illustrations from multiple artists which can be viewed in the Gallery.
Versus – Play against another local player or against the computer with different difficulty levels.
Challenges – Learn how to use each character in Demonstrations and Trials or see how long you can fight in Survival Mode.
Training – Practice against a dummy AI as you test out set-ups, combos and get used to a character without the pressure of a real match.
Not a bad move by Capcom to try and rope in more players, no? Get your gloves on, and we’ll see you on the streets!
In addition to the co-op classes that we posted earlier last week, World War Z also features online PvPvE (Player-versus-player-versus-enemies) that has its own separate progression and unique classes.

A gamer at heart, James has been working for MP1st for the last decade to do exactly what he loves, writing about video games and having fun doing it. Growing up in the 90's gaming has been in his DNA since the days of NES. One day he hopes to develop his own game.
If you thought Avengers: Endgame was the only comic book thing happening this week, think again. It seems a recent rumor has surfaced that mentions how a new DC Comics game will be unveiled this Friday by Warner Bros., and it could very well be a GaaS (games as a service) title!
Leaked on 4chan and posted on ResetEra, it mentions that players should keep an eye out on the WB Games Instagram and Twitter accounts at 12 p.m. PST on Friday, April 26. There’s even a shot of it that’s mentions “Outlaws.”
You can clearly see the Wayne Enterprises building front and center. There’s also the Epic Games trademark below, which suggests that the game is being made using Unreal Engine 4, or maybe that it’ll be exclusive to the Epic Games Store for PC? I’d guess it’s for the former.
Now, this alleged new DC Comics game “leak” goes hand in hand with another leak which mentions “online multiplayer,” “city hub areas,” and more. Check out the purported leaked email sent to internal WB Games employees, which one ResetEra member points out is similar to the Mortal Kombat 11 email leak which turned out to be legit (it had the same formatting, etc.).
Could this be what Rocksteady has been working on all these years? Maybe, maybe not. Before anyone jumps to any conclusions, remember that this is just a rumor for now, and as such, there’s no guarantee that this new DC Comics game will be really a live services game, or that there’s one that’ll be announced this week. I mean, do they really want to announce a new game in the same week that one of the biggest movies of all time from a rival company is set for release?
Would you be interested in a DC Comics game built like Destiny or other GaaS-type games? Share your thoughts in the comments below.
Online Gambling is one of the most popular industries around the world in which people love to play their favorite Casino games. Roulette is one of those big games which is incredibly popular among the vast mass of online players, you can never walk through any casino without noticing the fuzz and fun which surrounds this iconic game.

You can play it on the go at work or at home or pretty much anywhere you desire to play this marvelous game.

However, Roulette online gives the players who master mathematics more flexibility than the real casinos do in the usage of mathematical strategies to gain more profits and enjoy the selection of games and alternatives that this wonderfully designed game provides.
The attractiveness of roulette
The popularity of Roulette online is without any doubt so huge among players at online casinos, where many online casino players prefer it rather than playing in other table games. Its popularity came from many aspects, one of those aspects is because it is so easy to learn to compare to other table games like blackjack, any new player without any knowledge of the basics of roulette online can learn as quickly as possible, where he can only watch people playing it for a couple of minutes and he will grasp the concept of it and will easily be able to play it at any time he wants. Besides the roulette is so sociable, where instead of gambling against other gamblers like in blackjack games, You will be cheering with other people and gaining friends and getting social with everyone to win the same bet, thus making it a very amazing. The wheel of the roulette table and the spinning of the ball on it certainly adds more excitement to the game especially when you feel that all your hopes of winning the game are determined with this small ball and this attractive wheel in a way like playing fate.
Psychological aspects of Roulette’s popularity
The psychological effect of gambling through playing roulette online differs from game to game in addition to other factors that may influence the players of this game and thus the popularity of it. Roulette is considered a game of luck with high odds of winning and the highest house edge. However, the roulette’s popularity comes from the way players see it, where there are players who tend to play European Roulette to avoid playing the American version which has a double zero, other experienced players tries not to cover their losses in this game where they think that you must have fun and enjoy the friendly atmosphere of roulette without getting angry every time the ball lands in a different slot than the one they already made their bets on. Other players place higher bets on the outside bets with even winning chances to gain more profits and chances of winning, other players bet only on certain specific numbers which they consider them as lucky ones in a hope that the ball will eventually land on their desired slot, while other players stick to their original tactics and strategies and place their own bets on the so-called “sleeping numbers”.
The gaming and gambling world hasn’t stopped to improve since its growth in the 1990s. Apart from the various innovations frequently appear in the online casinos, the gambling industry has to find any means necessary to reign transparency and fairness within this sector. As the casinos are always subject to financial crimes like money laundering, the challenge to avoid these issues must be implemented. One of the solutions to prevent infractions is the creation of KYC, stands for Know Your Customer.
This latter has the goal to protect the customers from fraud due to illegal funds and transactions. The KYC is a process that the online casino players must follow before withdrawing their winnings. Understand the KYC procedure in online casinos through this article.
KYC, What is It?
All the well-reputed online casinos use KYC to safeguard their customers and their interests. KYC or Know Your Customer is a policy that the players must follow to check their identity and financial information. The goal of this process is to prevent any financial dangers associated with the casinos.
It may be corruption, money laundering, and fraud. When a gambler is lucky and wins payouts, he must cash out his winnings. Before the withdrawal is approved, the casino requests the KYC which mean personal documents of the winner.
After the submission of the personal documents, the web-based casino can know the player’s identity and the source of his funds. With this information, the casino is able to monitor the customer’s activities. This approach ensures the players’ safety and security as only certified casinos are allowed to request documents of their customers.
What is KYC Procedure in Online Casinos?
After you have received an email from the cashier team of the casino demanding the documents, you may ask what will be the next step. As stated above, these documents include the copy of Identity Card or others with your photos, the front and back of your credit card, and the phone bills with your name and address. The pictures must be clear and the documents must be absolutely readable.
Send them via mail to the cashier team. When the team receives your documents, you have to wait 72 hours. If your account is legalized, you can withdraw your gains. Nonetheless, if the casino can’t check your documents within this time, you are required to send another documented proof.
What Kind of Documents does the Player Need to Submit?
In fact, the processes utilized depend on the casinos. So the documents requested vary the gaming operator you choose and the type of deposit option you used previously. The payment methods like e-wallets and cryptocurrencies is the trust sign of the best paying online casino that has a high-level of security whereas the chance of fraud is high in bank transfers. Thus, this latter requires more documents than cryptocurrencies and e-wallets.
Here are samples of the documents that the casino can request:
a copy of Identity Card or Passport or Driver’s license. These documents confirm the full name, the date of birth, two pictures, and the address of the customers;
copies of the credit card which must be front and back;
copies of bills that must include the customer’s name and address.
What will Happen after the Process?
The documents that you sent will be digitally stored in a secured place and only the authorised person has access to them. The web-based casinos will examine them to make sure that they are legal and match up with the details you have supplied. Then, they will be stored again in a secured place. The verification of KYC won’t affect your gambling because you are allowed to subscribe and play games in an online casino.
Unfortunately, making a withdrawal is not permitted if you haven’t finished the KYC procedure. Furthermore, verifying once the documents is not enough to know the customer. The ongoing monitoring is required including financial and transactions supervision.
Final Words
To put in a nutshell, a wide range of high-quality games are not enough when choosing an online casino. The players have to choose licensed gambling operators who follow casino KYC policies. Not only do these KYC regulations prevent financial crime in the casino but they also ensure the gamblers’ safety and security. If there are any changes concerning your personal information, you are required to update your account to avoid problems in the future.
If you’re playing World War Z, and bummed out that there’s not any WWZ private lobbies (which we’ve mentioned in our review), Saber Interactive will be addressing that soon.
Over on Twitter, Saber Interactive confirmed that WWZ private lobbies are coming to the game “soon,” as well as a host of other fixes.
All of these fixes are coming soon, as are private lobbies!

In addition to that, the studio will also roll out a fix for the corrupted save issue that PS4 players are experiencing. The studio’s suggestion for now is to back up your save in the cloud to avoid any progression loss.

World War Z, remember that book that spanned a hit movie, the one starring Brad Pitt, a global infection, and massive amounts zombie? Well, regardless of thoughts on the flick, there was one element that stood out, and it was definitely the way the zombies moved, attacked, and devoured everything on screen. So it’s surprising to to see in the year 2019, a time when movie licensed games have died out, we have one based one launching. Could it be, this is one of the best licensed games to release?
World War Z is an online/offline co-op shooting game, featuring a decent sized campaign, each with different characters, locations and missions. The other half is a typical style PvP (player vs player) mode with added zombie flair. Which mode players select is really up to whatever style fits, but each one offers zombie killing regardless. The campaign mode is broken into numerous episodes in various locations like New York, Jerusalem, and even Tokyo.
Here players are able to choose from a handful of four characters, different from each location. These are mostly for cosmetics as the real progress comes from leveling up the classes. Each class offers different boosts that can be unlocked as you level up. From being able to attract zombies with C4 before exploding, or perhaps doing more damage with grenades. Each class offers different start out weapons/perks. Every campaign match adds to player’s experience, even if the game ends with everyone’s death.
In the various locations, playing solo or with a group, players will be doing various tasks. One area might have poisonous gas you have to vent out to proceed. Another will have players scrambling to find car parts. One has players escaping zombies falling from above. World War Z keeps up the intensity with a multitude of various objectives in each episode, making them feel fresh and exciting the first time through.
That said, when replaying the levels, the same mission structure and type might could get a little repetitive but that’s where the horde comes into play. World War Z loves to throw so many zombies on screen, I couldn’t help but laugh, scream, and yell out in anticipation of doing battle with the undead. Every single time these hordes were on screen, my mouth was gaped in awe. It’s chaotic, it’s intense, and it’s absolutely the element a game based on this franchise needed to nail and the developers did it.
A Good Day to Die Hard
While the massive horde of regular zombies are a sight, they can be taken down with relative easy. This may have made the game a little too easy at times. Yet adding in the special zombies are what shakes things up. From a hulking armored zombie, to a fast aerobic zombie, these two can pin a player down and prevent them from moving until another character saves them. There are also screaming zombies that attract hordes. A chemical suite zombie who leaks out toxic gas to impede vision and health. By themselves, these would be easy also, but added in with the huge swarm of zombies, players end up with chaotic and frantic moments. Luckily there is a wide assortment of weapons such as shotguns, assault rifles, and heavy guns to find and use. This includes unlock upgrades as well.
With so much on screen there might be some concern on how the game runs.This is another area that I walked away feeling absolutely surprised. Having hands on time with both the Xbox One and PS4 version of the game, the game runs well on both. It’s also colorful, with vibrant locations, day/night time settings, and zombies that looks downright nasty. There is plenty to like about the visual style. There is some noticeable framing issues with zombie bodies when a huge explosion happens, but otherwise things run great.
Teamwork Makes the Dream Work
Teamwork is also essential because as mention, there will be special zombies that can pin down players. The only hope for escape is with assistance of a teammate. Luckily if you’re playing offline solo, the AI can fight fairly well. Just don’t expect them to assist with finding items or doing anything other than surviving. It makes playing solo a little bit harder, but I was still able to accomplish playing alone, and with the various difficulty settings, this can be adjusted also.
Multiplayer-specific mode takes on a similar approach with its own set of unique classes. Players can upgrade each over time. This mode has typical features of classic MP, such as capturing an area, or team killing. Here they add their own spin on this where at times the zombie horde come in waves.. This can be both good and bad for players depending on the situation. The outcome always added an extra spark of excitement to the matches in what might otherwise be a typical multiplayer mode. That aside, the whole game is built around playing with others. This one is super friendly via matchmaking for both modes. Though currently it does not appear to have private lobbies.
Dead Surprise
When I first heard of a World War Z game, I came away feeling like this was one of those moments “too little, too late.” I was surprisingly wrong though. That’s not to say World War Z doesn’t have issues. Playing solo can be a little harder than expected since this game is definitely catered to MP. The option to play solo is a nice feature though. I also encountered numerous times on multiplayer with both consoles an odd audio bug that would permeate the entire match with this weird glitch like audio sound.
That aside, I’ve been having a blast playing World War Z. The zombie hordes are always an impressive sight to see and the thrill of fighting thousands of zombies has never been better realized. If players have missed the days of frantic co-op zombie shooters from last gen, look no further, World War Z is the answer.
Overall score: 8.0
Pros:
Zombie Hordes
Combat feels good
Variation in missions
Lots of unlockables
Cons:
Odd framerate on explosions with zombie hordes
Solo can be tad challenging
Human AI too simplistic
Lack of private lobbies

Just a few days ago, Naughty Dog VP and director of The Last of Us Part II Neil Druckmann shared that they’ve shot the ending for The Last of Us 2, which suggests the game could be released sometime this year. Well, here’s to add more fuel to the fire!
Over on Twitter, Druckmann has also shared that Ashley Johnson and Troy Baker, who plays Ellie and Joel respectively, have finished shooting their scenes for the game!
Of course, this is in no way guarantee that The Last of Us 2 will be released this year. We don’t know how much post-production work is left to be done, bug testing, and more, will need to be addressed as well before the game goes gold. Nonetheless this is welcome news for those looking forward to The Last of Us 2.
Do you think we’ll see The Last of Us 2 be released this year?
What do you feel when you first enter the casino website? Are you excited to rush into the gambling world and winning tons of prizes and bonuses? Are you afraid of losing the battle? Or you may be overconfident about your success. Whatever you feel, I have something for you. Here are the things that will help you avoid those mistakes that I’ve made when I was a newbie.
You cannot win forever
When I got my first prize, I felt myself a king of the world. I thought that I could break the spell and I would never lose any game. The sum was $600 and I got it within five minutes. What did I do next? I kept on playing and I finished up with a zero. Zero dollars on my account. If you believe in the beginners’ luck, check it out. But it’s good to stop for a while after you win a big sum for the first time.
Know the rules
This seems to be too obvious. But there might be different rules in different Malta online casinos at you need to learn beforehand. Once you tick the “Agree” button next to the rules, you take the full responsibility for your actions. For example, there are countries that forbid gambling or withdraw money. You should clear up all legislative issues before you start the game. And you should see the terms and policies of the very casino where you are going to play to avoid any problems with your account.
Real and fake bonuses
It’s hard to find a casino that doesn’t offer any free money for their players. But how do they benefit from giving real money to every visitor? Just imagine a typical case when you deposit a sum like $30. You can get up to a few thousand dollars that you can use for playing and even withdrawing. My advice here is to read all the conditions for withdrawing the bonus and all the information about its use for playing. Start the game only after reading this information or you may end up with nothing.
Know the game
When you’re a newcomer, you may have a desire to choose any game at random. This is risky if you play for real money. When you don’t know the rules of the game and you don’t have any idea of the tactics or anything else, you have a high chance to lose. I didn’t think about this and I acted chaotically. I had no strategies or anything that could raise my chances to win. I loved poker and I started to win only after doing good research and testing the tips while playing.
Know the casino
There is a great variety of casinos out there ready for new gamblers. You can choose whatever you like more and get excited by the games. Or you can come up with scammers and lose all the money you have on your banking accounts. To give you a better understanding of how you should approach the choice between two similar casinos, we will take a look at the industry behemoths like JackpotCity casino or Spin Palace and see what aspects you should pay attention to. Both they’ve been operating on a licensed market for twenty years straight. There is a company behind both brands called Buffalo Partners and it’s been working with a major soft development company Microgaming, has more than twenty years of experience in store and is well-known for its fair gaming policy applied not only to their players but partners too. All this information came from an open source and you can always fact-check it. Remember to analyze affiliate programs, and all available reviews on them – that’s the only way for you to find a trustworthy casino operator.
In simple words, get information, read reviews, enjoy the game and have fun.
In almost every fighting game these days, one of the biggest draws is knowing that more fighters are coming post-launch as DLC. With Mortal Kombat 11, given NetherRealm Studios’ history for including characters from other franchises (games and movies), it’s a bit of a guessing game who’ll make it into the Mortal Kombat 11 DLC fighters list, and it seems we now know exactly who these characters are!
Note that before diving in further, some of the characters listed here might be considered spoiler-ish for some. Also note that there’s no guarantee that these fighters will all make it into the game since the info does come from datamining the game, and as such, could be placeholder files or something of the sort. Got that? Good.
Thanks to the Mortal Kombat Leaks subreddit (via ResetEra), the list of known Mortal Kombat 11 DLC fighters have been revealed, and it’s all due to the Nintendo Switch version!
Mining the Nintendo Switch version of Mortal Kombat 11 shows the following files:
Joker
ShangTsung
Night wolf
Terminator
Sindel
Spawn
Ash
Fujin
Sheeva
In case anyone’s doubting the authenticity of it, this leak was verified by multiple users right here, and you can even see the game files dissected in the series of images below. In case you have the Nintendo Switch version of the game, here’s how to check it yourself.
Again, there’s no guarantee that all the fighters listed above will make it into the Mortal Kombat 11 DLC fighters list, or if there’s more that’ll be added down the line. Nonetheless, seeing Ash from Evil Dead and Joker in the list should be a cause of excitement for some players, I think.
