After nearly three decades of operation, the Entertainment Software Association (ESA) has announced that E3 is officially dead. This comes in the wake of two summers without a proper E3 and the rise of Geoff Keighley’s Summer Game Fest to fill the hole that E3 has left behind.
The news was first confirmed by Gene Park at Washington Post, who interviewed Stanley Pierre-Louis. Pierre-Louis is the president and CEO of the ESA, and he had this to say about E3’s fall:
We know the entire industry, players and creators alike have a lot of passion for E3. We share that passion. We know it’s difficult to say goodbye to such a beloved event, but it’s the right thing to do given the new opportunities our industry has to reach fans and partners.
There were fans who were invited to attend in the later years, but it really was about a marketing and business model for the industry and being able to provide the world with information about new products. Companies now have access to consumers and to business relations through a variety of means, including their own individual showcases.
The event’s end was later confirmed on the official E3 and ESA Twitter/X accounts:
After more than two decades of serving as a central showcase for the video game industry, ESA has decided to end E3. ESA remains focused on advocating for ESA member companies and the industry workforce who fuel positive cultural and economic impact every day.…
E3 was a monumental event in the world of video game entertainment for a very long time. Without E3, we wouldn’t have Nintendo Directs, or Sony’s year of dreams, or even the infamous “World Premiere” title cards popularized by Xbox. The event laid the foundation that so many companies now rest their digital events on. It set the standard for announcements and for showcases for many, many years. It’s truly sad to see it go.
The burden of massive video game announcement events now falls primarily onto Geoff Keighley. Summer Game Fest has already been eating E3’s lunch in the last few years, so it’s likely we’ll continue to see that trend. Hopefully, the issues we saw at this year’s Game Awards don’t begin to permeate his June event as well.
Do you have any favorite E3 memories? Feel free to share them and reminisce down in the comments.

The Atomic Shop is an in-game store in Fallout 76 offering cosmetics, C.A.M.P. objects and more in exchange for a special currency called Atoms. Most purchases are unlocked account-wide, and may be accessed by any character on the account.
Some objects require an in-game plan to be learned in order to gain access, while other items are only unlocked for a single, specified character. All exclusive items are character-bound, and cannot be dropped or traded with other players. The Atomic Shop is accessible at any time from the main menu, as well as the pause screen after leaving Vault 76 for the first time.
That’s it for this week’s refresh. Is there anything in particular that interests you?
If not, there’s always next week, which we’ll have covered, so be sure to check again next Tuesday!
PlayStation has confirmed that Insomniac Games have become targets of a recent ransomware, which has seen some of the studio’s data leak, including some leaked screenshots for Marvel’s Wolverine.
As spotted by Cyber Daily, Insomniac Games has been hacked. The site reports Ransomware operator Rhysida has breached the studio and has managed to steal data, including employees’ personal information. Amongst the data, which they posted proof-of-hack of, are the first screenshots of Marvel’s Wolverine.
Gaming website VGC reached out to Sony, which confirmed the cyber attack as true, issuing them the following statement:
“We are aware of reports that Insomniac Games has been the victim of a cyber security attack,” the company said. “We are currently investigating this situation. We have no reason to believe that any other SIE or Sony divisions have been impacted.”
Rhysida threatens Sony and Insomniac Games, saying they have seven days before the data is published while also auctioning it off with a bid starting at 2 million dollars.
“With just 7 days on the clock, seize the opportunity to bid on exclusive, unique, and impressive data,” Rhysida said. “Open your wallets and be ready to buy exclusive data. We sell only to one hand, no reselling, you will be the only owner!”
Talk about awful news. We aren’t sure what Sony plans on doing, but one thing is sure: they need to tighten up their security. Just this past September, the company was under attack by another ransomware attack, with even more throughout the past years. Though it is a never-ending battle against hackers and thieves, it seems to be a very common occurrence over at Sony and their other divisions.
Let’s just hope the employee details remain unpublished.

Once a new patch is released, we’ll let our readers know.
One More Level has released Ghostrunner 2 update 1.000.010 on all platforms. Here’s everything included in the December 12 Ghostrunner 2 patch notes.
Ghostrunner 2 Update 1.000.010 Patch Notes for December 12
Size: 1GB (PC)
At the time of writing, One More Level has yet to acknowledge or release any patch notes for today’s Ghostrunner 2 update. We suspect this patch will further address players’ reported issues, such as soft locks and crashes, and those introduced with the Ghostrunner 2 Hardcore Update. One thing is sure, though: this patch DOES NOT add raytracing to PC for those wondering, as we verified if the option was enabled in the settings ourselves.
Once One More Level has released the full patch notes, we’ll update the story with the details. We’ll be watchful for any community findings too.

Starbreeze Studios has released Payday 3 update 1.000.019, bringing the game to version 1.1.0. This update adds support for the first paid DLC, alongside a new skill, masks, and more! Here are the patch notes for today’s Payday 3 update.
Payday 3 Update 1.000.019 Patch Notes | Payday 3 Version 1.1.0 Patch Notes | Payday 3 December 12 Patch Notes
Update: Starbreeze has released the complete patch notes!
PATCH HIGHLIGHTS
You are able to join DLC heists you don’t own via friends, so get going on filling out that PAYDAY friends list! Even works cross-platform.
New Enemy: Techie: The techie uses a refraction shield to hide from her enemies while harassing them with deadly drones. Only in Syntax Error to start with, but she’ll start appearing in other heists in the future.
There’s a detailed description of the Techie behavior in the balance section below.
Free Scrambler Skill Line: Fitting enough following the new enemy, the Scrambler line focuses on ECM jammers, hacking and causing wide-area chaos.
Free Cosmetics! Yes dear heisters, what would PAYDAY be without freebies? So in this update, in addition to the new enemy, free heist access and universal weapon mods we’re adding 3 new masks:
The WAR-45 SMG. A high power, low fire rate option for the SMG enthusiast.
The FSA-12G Shotgun. A medium power, high fire rate magazine loaded shotgun, for when you absolutely have to repaint everything in your field of view a nice led gray.
The FIK 22 TLR. A low powered, high fire rate, high accuracy marksman’s rifle for any situation where the enemy over yonder needs to feel your wrath.
The Syntax Error Bundle is the first paid DLC as part of our Year 1 Post Launch Plan. As a reminder, players who purchased the Silver, Gold or Collector’s Edition of PAYDAY 3 automatically own the Syntax Error Bundle as part of the 6 Month/1 Year Season Pass!
Players who do not own the Syntax Error Heist can play the heist for free when invited to the lobby of a friend who does own the heist!
Fixed an issue where leaving a party too quickly could cause matchmake issues
Lowered the auto aim minimum distance from 150 to 100 cm for controller players
Fixed an issue of where throwing knives weren’t being picked up at their thrown location
Increased the amount of special spawns on OVK across all heists from 2 -> 3
Specials now spawns more frequently when the FBI van is active
Fixed an issue when clicking restart level multiple time could cause the player to get stuck
Implemented several fixes to help prevent disconnections during heists
BALANCE
The Design Team has been working hard as always and there are a ton of balance changes for you to suss out. Mio’s been kind enough to leave us comments below under most changes to explain the change and its reasoning.
Added Armor Repair Kits to the game
Armor Repair Kits serve as a weaker version of the Armor Bag. Interacting with a repair kit will repair your damaged armor chunk, but it will not restore lost armor chunks
Armor Repair Kits can be obtained by trading hostages between assault waves. Hostage trades will alternate between giving you First Aid Kits and Armor Repair Kits
Dozers will also drop Armor Repair Kits upon death
In the future, we will place Armor Repair Kits in levels the same way players can find First Aid Kits and ammo
SKILLS
Collateral Control (Sharpshooter) now also includes environmental hazards. This means that things like fire extinguisher explosions will not damage you, crewmates or civilians.
Collateral Control didn’t feel entirely worth the skill point, and both players and devs alike have killed many civilians with fire extinguishers and red barrels, so this change felt appropriate.
Solid (Enforcer) no longer prevents melee damage from the Dozer (it will still let you ignore the stagger effect).
This was an unintended bug with the skill, as it was never meant to prevent damage.
Updated the Negotiator (Manipulator) skill to reflect the implementation of armor repair kits.
WEAPONS
The speed at which you pick up sentry turrets now depends on whether the sentry turret has overheated or not. Sentry turrets that have not overheated take 1 second to pick up (down from the previous 2 seconds). Sentry turrets that are overheated take 2.5 seconds to pick up (up from the previous 2 seconds).
Sentry Turrets are in a decent spot at the moment, but we wanted to reward players for redeploying them before they break, hence this change.
Fixed an issue where sentry turrets could despawn when placing them on the railing inside the house of Cook Off
ENEMIES
“We still have more work to do on the Techie before we are comfortable putting her in all heists in the game. While most of our work is focused on making drone air navigation work across the entire game, we also plan to add a second drone type that the Techie can spawn as well as other gameplay tweaks. In the meantime, please use this opportunity to give us feedback on the enemy; let us know if you find it too difficult, too easy, or if you feel anything else should be addressed before she’s added to other heists.” -Mio
NEW ENEMY: The Techie is now available on Syntax Error!
The Techie will spawn in the heist during loud gameplay and find a hiding spot
Once hidden, the Techie will set up a refractor shield to obscure her location
While hiding, combat drones will spawn on the map and attack players
The closer players are to the Techie, the more intense the “glitch” effect on the player HUD will be. Use this to pinpoint the Techie’s hiding spot
Activating an ECM Jammer will destroy all drones and prevent new ones from spawning for as long as the ECM is active
Players can use the Scrambler Base skill to hack combat drones to fight on their side for 6 seconds before self-destructing
Known Issue: player sentry turrets can currently target combat drones. This will not be the case once the Techie is available on all heists.
“In order to increase the pressure on OVERKILL, we’ve adjusted the health damage Specials do on this difficulty and increased the amount of Specials that can spawn. This makes mistakes even more deadly. The Cloaker has also received a damage buff across all difficulties outside of Normal, so his hits should now hurt almost as much as his words.” -Mio
The enemy Special cap has been increased from 2 to 3 on OVERKILL difficulty across all heists
NOTE: This does not allow multiple specials of the same type to spawn at the same time
The FBI van’s enemy respawn cooldown reduction has been increased from 20 to 50 seconds
This means that while the FBI Assault is active, all Special and Uncommon enemies will be allowed to respawn as soon as they are killed, with the exception of the Dozer and Techie -Mio
Dozer melee damage has been increased from 100 to 150 on OVERKILL difficulty
For reference, player health is currently 100, so while this change might seem like too much even with abilities that reduce damage, it will be more relevant once players get more health options in the future
Zapper electrocution damage has been increased from 15 per second to 25 per second on OVERKILL difficulty
Nader gas grenade damage has been increased from 20 per second to 30 per second on OVERKILL difficulty
Cloaker melee damage has been increased from 2 to 4 per hit on Hard, 4 to 6 on Very Hard and 6 to 15 on OVERKILL difficulty
Dozers will now drop Armor Repair Kits when killed, instead of First Aid Kits
Player can’t take Zapper as a human shield anymore
This was a bug, as only First Responders, Guards, SWAT and Heavy SWAT are intended to be human shields. We know the Zapper is a bit weak right now, but he’s not supposed to be that weak. -Mio
TECHNICAL
UI
Updated skill description of Sharpshooter collateral control to add “an environmental hazard” such as explosives placed in the levels
Improved how subtitles queue up to make it less jumpy when voice lines are played close to each other.
Fixed so that subtitles doesn’t overlaps with the in-game HUD
Fixed an issue causing the subtitles to not appear in the first animated movie scene
VISUALS
Fixed visual issues on the police cars in Cook Off
Added first person animation for putting up planks on windows
Added a moon in the sky at Cook Off
Changed Crosshairs Max Scale default value to 200 for new players
Introduced partial fix for texture issue in the intro sequence at Turbid Station
HEIST
Drill is no longer placeable before opening the wall panel in Touch the Sky
Solved an issue where players could use the micro camera to see the codes through the door on Touch the Sky
Made sure the objective updates properly when finding the first Satellite Prototype in Turbid Station
Fixed an issue where the player could open train doors from underneath the train on Turbid Station
Fixed issues with containers that can opened and closed that could lead to that player get stuck inside of them in 99 boxes
Added blockers for tossing bags out of reach in Turbid Station.
Various minor visual issues fixed on Turbid Station.
Adjusted so that SWATs doesn’t climb over a fence when they can walk just next to it in 99 Boxes
Loot bags can longer be thrown out of reach near the stairs leading to the train yard at Turbid Station
Added a missing collision on stone slab over a door in Turbid Station
Removed an invisible collision inside the Cook Off house that was causing navigation issues.
Adjusted some lights inside trains at Turbid Station so that they don’t turn off when looking at them in certain angles
Z-fighting on a train at Turbid Station and added collision to parts of the train that was missing that.
Fixed an issue where a cloaker could kick the player through the vault in Rock the cradle
KNOWN ISSUES

OVERKILL Weapon will disappear when going through the skylight of Touch the Sky.
The van can disappear from Cook

Once a new patch for EA Sports PGA Tour is released, we’ll let our readers know.
Avalanche Studios has released Generation Zero update 1.42 today for what it calls the Three-Wheeled patch. You can expect new content and more. Check out the full Generation Zero December 12 patch notes down below.
Generation Zero Update 1.42 Patch Notes | Generation Zero Three-Wheeled Update Patch Notes:
Greetings, Survivors!
Thank you for joining us as we round out the year with one more smaller release before we ramp up our efforts for what’s in store in 2024. Tomorrow, the Three-Wheeled Update arrives on all platforms. It brings a new vehicle, new customization and randomization options, a new seasonal event, and bug fixes. Here’s what we have in store for you!
NEW VEHICLE – THE FLAKMOPED
This traditional Swedish moped has been modified to feature a frontal flatbed supported by two smaller wheels. This allows for easy transportation of goods (or friends).
Topping out at 50km/h, the Flakmoped has quite some energy hiding in those tiny wheels! While one person is driving, another (or multiple) can get onto the flatbed and act as their protection detail.
Currently, equipment cannot be placed directly on the flatbed, that’s a functionality we want to add in a future update. However, there are ways around that limitation that lead to some hilarious behaviors and outcomes. We can’t wait until you find them all and post about them on social media! Don’t forget to tag us when you do.
NEW DLC – REINFORCED FLAKMOPED PACK
This DLC brings additional functionality to the Flakmoped in the shape of three variants that are each specialized for a specific purpose.
The Utility Flakmoped has a full workbench installed on its flatbed, giving you access to your storage box, a recycling station, and a crafting station, all while on the move. The Ramming Flakmoped features a reinforced frontal wall that functions as protection for your passengers and doubles as a battering ram to inflict maximum damage by running over machines. The Off-Road Flakmoped has been augmented with an improved suspension system and better tires so you can ride at full speed – even in the thicket.
This DLC is available alongside the Three-Wheeled Update on the 12th of December at a price point of $6.99 or a regional equivalent. We can’t wait to see what crazy shenanigans you’ll get up to once you get your hands on these!
NEW PROCEDURAL MISSION LOCATIONS
We are listening to all the feedback around Procedural Missions and how we can make them even more interesting, engaging, and rewarding. New location options have been added for the Resistance Dead Drop, Resistance Radio Maintenance, and High Value Target procedural missions. This means that there will be more variation in the way these missions play out when they are available. Please let us know how they play out for you and report any bugs you encounter on our forums.
NEW COMPANION NAME PARTS
We’ve heard lots of positive comments about the naming options for Companions, but we also know that there are a lot more names that you’d like us to add! In this iteration, we’ve added 23 new name parts:
Some of these were suggested by the community, some are Dev dogs’ names, and some are just cool in general. We hope you enjoy the new combinations!
NEW EVENT – WINTER SNOWBALL FIGHT
Snow and frost have taken over Östertörn and it’s time to stick it to your friends – literally.
From the 16th until the 31st of December, you will find mounds of snow all over the map. You can use these to grab yourself some snowballs, which you can throw at your friends! Landing a hit will topple the other person over until they get back up. After getting up from a hit, you’ll be temporarily unaffected by snowballs and get a chance to return the favor!
You can also throw snowballs at machines if you want, but it won’t do anything and you’ll probably regret it. But the option is there.
If you don’t want to get blindsided by your co-op partner while you’re fighting machines, don’t worry: You can turn on permanent snowball immunity in the game options.
Now go out and make sure to bring a change of clothes so you don’t catch a cold!
QUALITY OF LIFE
Hid the model of the selected weapon in the background of the Augmentation process to declutter the screen
Made it easier to loot Runners, Seekers, Hunters, Lynxes and Firebirds
Improved Companion Voice Box icons
Hid the chat when the player is in a menu to prevent visual overlap
Adjusted the size of the companion collision to better represent its actual size. It can now walk through Bunker doors, so no more leaving your buddy out in the rain!
Updated the Game Credits
