TGA 2017: From Software Next Game Teased With a Super Short Teaser

During The Game Awards pre-show, Geoff Keighley “unveiled” From Software’s new game! But sadly, aside from a super short teaser trailer, not much else is know. Not even a title. But you can check out the From Software next game teaser below.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oqpkvKF5tQE

It mentions “Shadows Die Twice.” and that’s kinda it. We do get to see what seems to be some sort of pulley, which some people are associating with Bloodborne 2. Once internet sleuths have deduced everything the video has to offer, we’ll be sure to let gamers know.

What do you think the device/thing is? And what game do you want it to be?

Destiny 2 Raid Lair Release Time Confirmed, Here’s the Recommended Power Level

I hope you’ve been grinding the Destiny 2 Curse of Osiris expansion hard, because it’s almost time for your Guardians to take the Raid Lair challenge. Requiring a Power Level of 300 (though higher would be best!), the “Eater of Worlds” Raid Lair will become available at 10 a.m. PT on December 8.

This was confirmed by Bungie over on Twitter:

The recommended Power Level of 300 is based on what was shown during the Curse of Osiris livestream. It’s possible that, with the max Power Level having been raised to 335, this may change at its launch.

Will you and your fireteam be trying your hands at the new Raid Lair? Let us know in the comments below.

In other Destiny 2 news, the game’s future updates were detailed in a “State of the Game” overview, a limited edition loot crate is now available to pre-order, and a Destiny 2 free trial is now available for PC, PS4 and Xbox One.

New Tomb Raider Game Announced With a Hidden Message

Here’s a new one. Instead of a countdown for a trailer, or a reveal, Square Enix has announced a new Tomb Raider game on social media — Twitter, in fact. The entire message can be read below in the tweet.

It reads:

Square Enix is excited to share some big news with you next year. Honestly, we wish we could share it with you right now, but we’re taking a new approach this time.

A new Tomb Raider game is coming.

Driven by our goal of putting our fans first, we want you to know that it won’t be very long between the official reveal and when you can play,

Our journey together will begin with a major event in 2018. We simply can’t wait to take you on Lara Croft’s defining adventure.

Spotted by Nerdbite, the first letter of each sentence spells “Shadow.” It’s been heavily rumored that the next Tomb Raider game will be called “Shadow of the Tomb Raider” and this adds weight to that rumor, or it’s just a fantastic fadeout by Square Enix.

Will this Tomb Raider game have multiplayer? We don’t know for sure, but we’ll report more on it if it does.

Report: Call of Duty: WWII Latest Update Has Not Rolled Out for Middle East

While the latest Call of Duty: WWII game update has rolled out hours ago for everyone in the world, it seems people in the Middle East have been given the shaft. Over on Reddit, Middle Eastern players from Qatar and UAE (United Arab Emirates) have posted that they are still stuck with the old version of the game client.

[No Update] Middle East – HQ still empty. Update Missing. Still on 1.06 from WWII

In case the embed didn’t show up for you, it reads:

Last time they said HQ is now working for everyone and Middle East was not included.Now they roll out the update and Middle East still not included. What the F is going on.

I am in saudi arabia PS4. My HQ worked fine on game launch till they removed due to server issues. From that time it is still empty.

Now after waiting for more than an hour for update it is still missing and my PS4 showing I am on latest version but the game version is 1.06.

Anyone else facing the same issue? If yes then location please.

If you’re from the Middle East, let us know if the game has updated for you and for which platform. Let’s hope Sledgehammer sees this and fixes the problem ASAP.

Speaking of fixing, South East Asia players have started a petition asking Sledgehammer to roll out Call of Duty: WWII servers for the region.

PUBG Plane Tracker Helps Players Get an Early Advantage

Falling from the plane in PUBG may seem like an easy task, but there’s quite a bit of skill involved when picking the absolute best landing spot. You want somewhere that will have a lot of loot, but not a lot of players. The sweet spots are usually found far away from the flight path, requiring some careful gliding and parachute use.

To help players figure out which locations are within reach, James Lantz made the website planepath.net. It’s a simple tool: You draw a line across the map to quickly see which area the plane will be flying over, and the site will show which locations are viable landing zones.

The latest version of Plane Path also shows where cars are likely to spawn, an update on how much damage the circle will do, and the lowest health amount for first aid kit usage.

Check out the image below for a quick preview, or head over to planepath.net to check it out for yourself!

What do you think of Plane Path? Is it a tool that you’ll be using? Let us know.

In other PUBG news, Brendan Greene has confirmed that the Xbox One versions of the game will run at 30fps at launch, two mobile games have been announced with trailers, and desert map gameplay will debut at The Game Awards 2017.

Star Wars Battlefront II The Last Jedi Trailer Gives a Glimpse of Both Multiplayer & Single-Player Content

EA has released a new trailer for Star Wars Battlefront II’s The Last Jedi season! While the season itself has kicked off already, the trailer gives us a peek of things to come. Prepare for Finn, and Captain Phasma to join the fray, and there’s even new content for the single-player campaign, too!

You can check out the content roadmap for Star Wars Battlefront II’s DLC (which will all be free) right here.

In other Battlefront II news, we reported yesterday that EA might (important word here is “might”) not bring back microtransactions at all to the shooter according to EA exec Blake Jorgensen. There’s also a fix incoming for the AFK farming issue that’s plaguing the game right now.

Have you started The Last Jedi season? Which faction did you side with? The dirty Rebellion or the fantastically glorious First Order?
