In case you didn’t know, the Tokyo Game Show just happened in Japan, and along with almost any gaming event, game trailers were released. Today, Kojima Productions revealed the Death Stranding TGS 2018 trailer, and it’s all kinds of crazy.
We’re introduced to a new antagonist who wears a golden skull mask and is voiced by Troy Baker (Joel in The Last of us, Revolver Ocelt in Metal Gear Solid V). This unnamed enemy apparently has the power to summon the shadow ghosts living in the game’s world, and he does in the trailer below. What does he conjure up? It’s some sort of giant shadow lion that’s most likely a boss in the game.
Impressive, scary, and insane all at the same time, right? Yep, it’s a Hideo Kojima-developed game, alright.
Death Stranding will have both single-player and multiplayer components, and is being developed exclusively for the PlayStation 4 with no confirmed release date as of the moment.
While initial feedback from Call of Duty: Black Ops 4’s multiplayer and battle royale mode Blackout have been favorable so far from the community, it seems there’s a dark cloud looming over the release that some fans might not know yet, and it’s about the game’s multiplayer Black Ops 4 maps available at launch.
We now know that the Black Ops 4 maps available at launch will only be 11, with four of them being remade maps, which leaves us with seven brand-new maps to play on. Add in Nuketown, which is coming post-launch (which is again, another remade map from past Treyarch Call of Duty games), that gives us 12 multiplayer maps confirmed to be available to all players.
In a Q&A with Game Informer, Studio Design Director David Vonderhaar was asked what the Black Ops 4 multplayer map count will be when it launches. Vonderhaar answered that he doesn’t know what the “official announcement” was for the number of maps, but that “you guys know” what are all the maps the game will have plus Nuketown, and adds that this is public information at this point.
For reference here are the 11 multiplayer Black Ops 4 maps that will be available at launch:
Seven New Maps:
Arsenal
Contraband
Frequency
Gridlock
Hacienda
Payload
Seas Side
Four Remade Maps:
Firing Range
Jungle
Slums
Summit
Add in the remade Nuketown which is coming post-launch, and you have 12 total, which is a bit disappointing given four of them are essentially “old” maps. Of course, Treyarch has already promised a slew of free content for all three modes of Black Ops 4 (multiplayer, Zombies, Blackout), so there’s a very big chance that we’ll see more down the road.
It’s not surprising that players are expecting more, though; what with the Black Ops 4 not having any dedicated single-player mode, some fans might have assumed — or hoped — that Treyarch will compensate for this by launching the game with a good number of multiplayer maps.
Remember when past Call of Duty games released with 15+ maps at launch without any Season Pass needed? It’s unfortunate that it seems we’re not going to see that anytime soon again.
Are you OK with the number of Black Ops 4 maps available at launch? How many free maps should Treyarch roll out to make it OK? Let us know what you think of it in the comments.
Here’s something out of left field: it seems Capcom’s upcoming action game, Devil May Cry 5, will have multiplayer of some kind, and what’s more, it’ll be for 2-3 players!
In the game’s official product description on the PlayStation Store, it clearly states that there are “Network Players 2-3” and that PlayStation Plus is required. At the bottom it states online play, though it’s optional. The listing is still live, though there’s a screenshot of it just in case Capcom pulls it.
Note that Capcom has NOT announced DMC 5 multiplayer of any kind — much less 2-3 people playing simultaneously. There is a chance this is a database error or something, so don’t be surprised if this doesn’t pan out.
We’ve reached out to Capcom and will update the story if and when we get a response.
Assuming Devil May Cry 5 does have multiplayer, expect news, and more about the game here on MP1st.
One of the issues we touched upon in our Battlefield V beta impressions piece ere the time to kill, and time to death, and how fast it seemed compared to past Battlefield games. It seems there’s a good reason for that, and it’s due to the netcode.
In the latest Dev Talks episode, DICE Multiplayer Producer for Battlefield V David Sirland confirmed that netcode issues, packet loss are some of the things to blame for the fast time to death experienced by players. Sirland comments that players got more damage than they should have in one game update due to packet loss, netcode and delays and high rate of fire weapons.
The studio is starting a “little strike team” to fix this issue, and their goal is to make it “better” than what players experienced in Battlefield 1. In the developer chat, DICE also explains that the weapon upgrade system is also another attribute that added to the high time to kill (TTK).
This is good news, right? Unless you really liked the Battlefield V beta’s insanely fast time to kill and time to death. This isn’t all that DICE is tweaking based on beta feedback, as the studio also confirmed that they are adding “distance haze” to make differentiating enemies from the background a tad easier. Don’t forget to check out the Battlefield V beta stats released by DICE in order to see which class was the most used, and more.
Did you like the Battlefield V beta’s high TTK? Do you think DICE will be able to resolve this netcode issue before the game hits retail this November 20?
If you wanted to test SoulCalibur VI out before it gets released this October, then you’re in luck! Bandai Namco has announced that a SoulCalibur VI beta (or “network test” in this case) is happening for both the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One!
This was announced by the official SoulCalibur VI Twitter account, which also listed the start and end dates.
Be one of the first to set foot on the stage of history! ⚔ Join the #SOULCALIBUR VI Network Test to try the online versus mode on PS4 and XB1, and help us fine tune the online experience!
Start: Sept 28, 5 PM CEST / 8 AM PST
End: Oct 1, 5 AM CEST / Sept 30, 8 PM PST pic.twitter.com/ICHwgkoXvZ

With the way this announcement was worded, it seems it’ll be open for everyone, though we’ll have to clarify that to be sure. We’ve reached out to Bandai Namco and will update the story if and wehn they respond.
Don’t forget to check out the latest SoulCalibur VI trailer that showcases the return of Raphael!
While Call of Duty players are used to the leveling grind and cycle of hitting the max rank, and then hitting the reset button to prestige, that won’t be the case for Call of Duty: Black Ops 4’s battle royale mode, Blackout.
In a massive Q&A with Game Informer, Game Design Director David “Vahn” Vonderhaar shared the Black Ops 4 Blackout max rank level, and how the mode’s leveling system is “very different” from multiplayer.
According to the video, which you can watch or listen to here (around the 27:00 mark), the Black Ops 4 Blackout max rank is set at 80, and Treyarch has no plans as of yet to let players prestige. Additionally, Vahn explains that leveling up in Blackout is different compared to standard multiplayer, as earning XP — and the progression system in Blackout as a whole — is dependent on getting kills, ranking high in matches compared to a multitude of ways of earning XP in standard multiplayer — even just for playing the mode. However, Vonderhaar shares that even though there’s no way to prestige, there is a “grandaddy of prizes” for hitting level 80.
There you have it. 80 is the Black Ops 4 Blackout max rank, and sadly, we can’t prestige — at least for now. Of course, given how easy it is to roll out game updates, don’t be surprised if this max rank is increased at some point, or if Treyarch rolls out a prestige-like system for the mode.
In other Black Ops 4 news, Treyarch has promised that the studio will roll out a lot of free content for the game’s three modes post-launch. Speaking of which, the Sony’s timed exclusivity deal with Activision has changed, with the PS4 now only getting seven days early access to any content rolled out for Black Ops 4, compared to 30 days which was the norm in past Call of Duty titles.
While MP1st is first and foremost, a multiplayer-centric website about video games, we do like to play story-driven games from time to time. And if that’s what you were looking for, there was no one who did it better than Telltale Games, the studio behind The Walking Dead, Wolf Among Us, and lots more.
Unfortunately, we’re here to report on some bad news. Over on Twitter, Telltale Games announced that the studio is shutting down.
It’s a bummer to read that the studio is closing down to their games under-selling. Let’s hope a publisher buys them out, or at the very least, hires some of the people that the studio let go. We need more studios like Telltale Games that didn’t rely on copying the latest trend or genre, and sad to say, narrative-driven games are a dying breed, though they don’t need to be.
We salute you, Telltale Games! Let’s hope everyone laid off gets back on their feet ASAP.
While DICE has already talked a bit about the items the studio wants to change in Battlefield V based on community feedback from the beta, the studio isn’t done communicating with its player base — not by a long shot.
In a press release, the studio made an infographic outling some of the key Battlefield V beta stats that people like reading about. In addition to the usual stats, the studio even jotted down some fun ones like “number of snowmen built,” and whatnot. Check it out below.
Surprised? I’m not. Given how dead versatile the STG was in the Battlefield V beta, it’s no surprise that most players flocked to the gun in order to be effective on the battlefield. Recon coming second is not a shocker too, since, well, players love their kills, and sniping does just that.
In other Battlefield V news, DICE outlined how they’re making enemy visibility better in the final game, and that means adding “distance haze.” Other post-beta changes? DICE has also confirmed that the chat filter can be disabled, and even the reflex sight is getting changed.
In case you didn’t know, Rockstar Games did a big hands-on preview for Red Dead Redemption 2. While nary a second of gameplay was shown off, we do get a lot of new info based on these previews.

It’s no secret that BioWare will release an Anthem demo before the game hits retail on February 22, 2019, but it seems there will be multiple ways players can be a part of it.
In an announcement on EA’s official website, the publisher detailed all three methods on how players can gain access to the Anthem demo, and it’s via VIP demo, Early Access, and the Play First Trial.
VIP Demo
The VIP demo kicks off on February 1, 2019 and is open to players who’ve pre-ordered Anthem* as well as current EA Access and Origin Access subscribers**. Both Standard and Legion of Dawn pre-orders receive access to the demo. EA Access and Origin Access members need to have an active subscription at the time of the demo (February 1, 2019) to get access.
Early Access†
Early access begins on February 15, 2019 for Origin Access Premier members. This lets you play the full game a week before launch on PC. Members will have early unlimited access to EA’s full games on PC to play as much as they want five days before launch, as long as they are subscribed to Origin Access Premier. Origin Access Premier members also receive access to 140+ games in The Vault, our library of games that just keeps growing all the time.
Play First Trial
EA Access (for Xbox One) and Origin Access Basic (for PC) members will get to play 10 hours of Anthem as part of the Play First Trial starting on February 15, 2019**. Progress made in the game during the free trial will carry over to the full game if purchased with your 10% member discount or if you become Origin Access Premier member.
As early as now, you can pick your poison, Freelancer!
In other Anthem news, BioWare has confirmed that all Anthem story DLC will be free! The studio also revealed that it has 4-6 teams working on content for the game.
According to DICE, Battlefield V enemy visibility will be made better by adding what the studio calls “distance haze” which isn’t a fog (they were adamant it wasn’t). And before anyone reacts negatively, DICE says it won’t be noticeable and that it’s “very subtle.” You can judge from yourself with the screenshot below straight from the Dev Talks episode.
In addition to the “distance haze,” DICE is also tweaking the lighting in maps, and mentioned that the Rotterdam level wasn’t “lit properly” in some areas. This issue has been fixed, apparently, and DICE is also looking into tweaking the lighting in some areas (like alleys) “by hand” to make sure the enemy visibility is in tune to gamers’ needs.
As someone who had problems making out enemies in various engagement distances, this is definitely good news! Let’s hope that we’ll get a chance to test this out even though there’s no second beta planned.
In case you didn’t know, Naughty Dog holds a special day for The Last of Us every year, which the studio calls “Outbreak Day.” If you’ve played the game, then you might remember that September 26 is when the big cordyceps fungus hit critical mass, and essentially brought on the apocalypse.
Going on its fifth year (it started in 2013), this year’s The Last of Us Outbreak Day is the biggest content drop the studio is doing so far! While the actual kickoff date is set for next week on September 26, Naughty Dog has given us a sneak peek of the things players participating can nab! There’s The Last of Us Part II avatars, a dynamic PS4 theme, device wallpapers and more!
If you’re looking for something new to try this weekend, and haven’t given Ghost Recon Wildlands a go yet, here’s your chance! Ubisoft is once again rolling out a Ghost Recon Wildlands free weekend on all platforms!
The Ghost Recon Wildlands free weekend will last from September 20-23, and during this time, everyone will have full access to the base game, along with the Ghost War PvP mode, and the themed special PvE missions. If you like what you tried, which is what Ubisoft is banking on, you can then purchase to one of two editions — the Year 2 Gold Edition and the Ultimate Edition, priced at $79.99 and $119.99, respectively.
Aside from the main game, the Ultimate Edition includes:
The Year 1 season pass, which includes the two major expansions: Narco Road and Fallen Ghosts.
The Year 2 Pass, which grants one-week early access to all six Year 2 Ghost War PvP classes and special equipment packs.
Additional exclusive perks including special weapons and attachments, 4 Battle Crates, 1 Skill Point Pack, 1 Resource Pack and 1 Long XP Booster.
The Year 2 Gold Edition includes the main game, and the Year 2 Pass. To help the decision a wee bit easier, Ubisoft has also discounted the Year 2 Gold Edition, Ultimate Edition, and other various editions of Wildlands up to 60 percent off!
Don’t forget, Ubisoft has done a few crossover events for Wildlands, so future soldiers will hopefully have more events to look forward to at some point.
Stop the presses! Sony is once again holding a PSN Flash sale, and it’s now live! Same as before, there are a ton of games that can be had at discounted prices.
Thanks once again to user weebae, you can check the complete list of discounted games below, with the links leading to the browser version of the PlayStation Store. Don’t forget to think fast, as the discounted games in this PSN Flash sale is only valid until September 24, 8 a.m. PDT.
