While not a lot of info has surfaced for Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 just yet, we at least know now when the game will be available (sort of), as Insomniac Games has revealed the Spider-Man 2 release window is set for “Fall 2023.”
This was confirmed by Sony in a new article on the PlayStation Blog where they talked about the stuff incoming to the platform in 2023. Here’s a message from Bryan Intihar, Creative Director of the game:
“What a year it’s been for PlayStation Studios; here at Insomniac Games we’ve been in absolute awe of the work of our peers. Congrats to everyone on a successful 2022… and here’s to next year being just as exciting as we continue to get Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 ready for release next fall.”
– Bryan Intihar, Creative Director
Given how amazing the first game in the franchise is, this is one title to look out for. Speaking of which, go read our review of it right here where we also state, “Make no mistake, this Spider-Man game is one mean action game even without the license, though it uses it to great effect, which puts the game from “good” to “excellent” all in one go. Simply put, Marvel’s Spider-Man is one neighborhood you’ll want to swing by, and be a part of.”

theHunter: Call of the Wild Update 1.72 Patch Notes | theHunter: Call of the Wild December 15 Patch Notes:
Consoles Only
Fixed an issue on Xbox Series X and Series S that resulted in lower-quality image output compared to previous versions of the game.
Dev Team’s Notes: As some members of the community guessed, the Xbox Series X|S versions of the game were running on the Xbox One’s visual settings following the 60 FPS update. This resulted in a visible loss of visual quality compared to what players were used to. On Series X, the visual quality has been restored to pre-patch levels, while still offering a smoother framerate. On Series S, we’ve made the choice following community feedback to return to 30 FPS in order to offer players a greater image quality at 1440p. While these are solutions we’ve privileged in order to act fast on this issue, know that we will continue to work on further optimizing these versions of the game.
Consoles & PC
The Great One Moose are now more likely to spawn with Great One exclusive fur variations.
The default keybind for placing a waypoint using the binoculars with a controller has been changed to Y/Triangle. It previously clashed with the bind to spot animals.
Dev Team’s Notes: You may have to reset your controller keybinds for this change to take effect.
Need Zones discovered while playing solo should now persist after joining a multiplayer session.
Players should no longer crash when teleporting to specific locations in various reserves.
The dog should no longer become unresponsive after the player dies and respawns.
The UI keybinds (for keyboard and mouse) should now save properly between sessions.
Players should no longer lose the ability to leave water blinds after harvesting an animal (or be ejected from regular blinds).
Players should no longer get stuck waiting for the Weapon Customization Screen to load (however, it may take up to 20 seconds).
Our goal with this hotfix was to address the most pressing issues the community encountered after our latest update. Of course, our work doesn’t stop there and we’ll continue to work on other issues players have encountered during their sessions. We’ll share a definitive list of Known Issues later this week.
We’d like to thank theHunter’s community for their incredible support since New England Mountains’ launch. We’re humbled by your feedback and proud that you’re enjoying this new reserve so much!
That’s it for the patch notes. theHunter: Call of the Wild is out now for the PC, PlayStation, and Xbox.

※ PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THE FEATURES AND UPDATES SHOWN BELOW MAY BE MODIFIED OR EVEN POSSIBLY REMOVED DUE TO REASONS SUCH AS BUGS, IN-GAME ISSUES, AND/OR COMMUNITY FEEDBACK. ALSO, THE IMAGES SHOWN BELOW ARE PROVIDED AS VISUAL GUIDELINES – THEY MAY LOOK DIFFERENT IN THE ACTUAL GAME AS BUILDS ARE CONTINUOUSLY DEVELOPED AND FIXED BEFORE THEY GO LIVE.
VIKENDI REBORN
It all started with the sudden climate change ravaging Vikendi’s lands that once flourished with greenery and crystal clear skies. Habitants of Vikendi were forced to retreat the area as blizzards drove cities to the point they were no longer able to function. No traces of life were to be found for months.
Now a desolate snowfield, the northern part of Vikendi is covered with sheets of snow – meanwhile in the south, glimpses of new land begin to peep out; survivors of the cold start to gather back, clutching on to desperate hopes of a new domain.
Starting now, Vikendi commences its comeback as a harsh winterland and is prepared to pit players into its ruthless depths of snow.
Welcome to the rebirth of Vikendi.
TEST OUT VIKENDI REBORN TODAY AS SOON AS THE TEST SERVER OPENS!
VIKENDI…
Is available as a Featured Map.
Has expanded from a 6x6km map to a 8X8KM map.
Is composed of various environments such as glaciers, snowfields, and greenery.
Presents sharp slopes and heavy snow in the north, with relatively less snow and flatter terrain in the south.
Features CLEAR and CLOUDY weathers.
DEV’S COMMENT
As we resurrect the snowy concept of Vikendi, we also wanted to respond to several in-game issues our community had faced before our previous Vikendi’s remaster. One of the main feedback regarded the restrain players felt on their eyes due to the whiteness of Vikendi’s snow when playing the map for more than a certain period of time. To resolve this issue, we’ve conducted continuous tests by adjusting the overall colors of the map and even utilizing the clouds to cast shadows over the snow to reduce whiteness.
We’ve also adjusted the overall topography of the map to remove the disadvantages and overly advantageous factors that once existed in specific areas.
Always remember that PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS Team will continue to monitor your feedback after this update, so keep those suggestions and opinions coming! See you at the revitalized winter wonderland!
MAKE SURE TO VISIT THE VIKENDI WEBSITE (HTTPS://VIKENDI.PUBG.COM/) AND HEAD OFF ON A TOUR THROUGH VIKENDI’S NEW LANDMARKS, FEATURES, AND MANY MORE!
NEW FEATURE: CABLE CARS
Introducing the new transportation system: CABLE CARS.
There are two routes for each station, with only one Cable Car running per route.
Cable Cars move automatically.
You can board Cable Cars once Cable Cars arrive to their station.
Cable Cars will stop briefly at each station before moving on to the opposite route.
You may also board Cable Cars with a vehicle.
Available modes
Only available in Vikendi.
Normal Matches, Custom Matches
DEV’S COMMENT
A new transportation system: the Cable Car has arrived to present you new gameplay dynamics! Face off enemies traveling the opposite Cable Car route, or launch surprise attacks to enemies on the ground midair! Panzerfausts will also most likely spawn in most Cable Cars, so why not blast your enemies off their leisure Cable Car ride?
NEW AREA: LAB CAMP
Meet the new LAB CAMP, a new area holding high value items in the northwest!
Lab Camps are scattered around the frozen lake in the northwest.
Each Lab Camp differs in size and structure.
SUPPLY DROPS, a new type of crate spawning certain items with certain probability distributions, will spawn in Lab Camps.
YELLOW SUPPLY DROPS: Boost items, Throwables, M79, or Level 3 Equipment may spawn.
RED SUPPLY DROPS: Weapons available in Vikendi (including ammo) may spawn.
You may even find Care Package weapons if you’re very lucky!
BLUE SUPPLY DROPS: Attachments available in Vikendi.
Alarms are installed in certain Lab Camps. They will immediately activate once items are extracted from Supply Drops.
Activated alarms will emit a loud siren and red lights for a certain period of time.
Interacting with Supply Drops WHILE the alarm is activated will not restart the alarm’s activation.
Interacting with Supply Drops AFTER an alarm’s activation time will reactivate the alarm.
DEV’S COMMENT
Introducing a new area that can be used as another loot-rich area for players. Lab Camps are located around the frozen lake, where buildings are relatively hard to find.
But everything can’t just simply go as planned – make sure to take items from those Supply Drops as fast as you can before you excite that sensitive alarm!
And if you’re extra lucky today, you might be able to find super rare Supply Drops that hold even more and better loot. Good luck!
NEW SYSTEM: COMEBACK BR
It’s not Better Luck Next Time when you die during a match. Comeback BR has arrived to Vikendi to present you not only one, but THREE opportunities!
Players will spectate their team member(s) once they die during specific phases of the match.
Once Comeback BR’s countdown is over, a loading screen will pop up and move the appropriate players to the Comeback BR arena.
Every player’s health will reset.
Every item/equipment/boost a player had before death will be removed.
During a Comeback BR Phase,
PLAYERS WHO SURVIVE will return to the match with every item they obtained in the arena.
A total of THREE Comeback BR Phases will proceed during a single match.
The first, second, and third Comeback BR Phases will proceed consecutively during certain phases of the match. The Comeback BR participant recruitment phase will be shown on the top left of the world map screen.
Players who ONLY die during a Comeback BR Phase participant recruitment phase will be able to participate in a Comeback BR Phase.
After a player returns to a match after a Comeback BR Phase and dies again, they’ll be able to join the next Comeback BR Phase if they die within the participant recruitment phase.
PLAYERS WHO DIE will spectate their teammates until the next Comeback BR Phase.
Players who die in the first/second Comeback BR Phase are provided the opportunity to retry in the next Phase.
A dead player waiting for a Comeback BR Phase to start will instantly lose the match if EVERY TEAMMATE DIES in the match and/or if they QUIT THE MATCH.
A COMEBACK BR MULTIDROP will be available per Comeback BR Phase.
A separate Blue Zone from the match will be activated in Comeback BR.
Various items (including Backpacks) will spawn in the arena.
A single arena will be used for every Comeback BR Phase per match. Therefore, item spawns/deathboxes/destroyed structures will not reset per Phase.
DEV’S COMMENT
We believed this update was the appropriate timing for us to implement Taego’s Comeback BR feature to Vikendi.
Additional adjustments have been made to Vikendi’s Comeback BR based on feedback we’ve received on Taego’s current Comeback BR system such as providing not only one but several opportunities to achieve that chicken, adjusting the countdown time, reducing the arena’s size, adding Backpacks and more items, etc. for a possibly better combat experience. Oh, and don’t forget the multi care packages falling from the sky!
NEW FEATURES: MAP UTILITY ITEMS, ASCENDERS, AND ASCENDER TOWERS
The FEATURES ONLY AVAILABLE IN DESTON have set their foot in Vikendi.
Map Utility Items will be provided to every player in Vikendi.
Ascender Attachment
Utility Parachute
Ascenders have been attached to buildings in Observatory and Coal Mine.
Ascender Towers are located throughout the map.
NEW FEATURE: FUEL PUMP
The Deston-only FUEL PUMPS are also joining the winter party. Fill up your vehicle or make Fuel Pumps explode to make your enemies fly into the snow!
Vikendi’s wintery concept has been applied to Vikendi’s Fuel Pumps.
NEW SYSTEM: CROWBAR INTERACTION
Players may now use CROWBARS TO INTERACT WITH VARIOUS MAP OBJECTS.
Cabinets scattered throughout the map can be opened with Crowbars to obtain various items.
Crowbars can also be used to open locked buildings, which are located throughout Vikendi.
Crowbars must be equipped to Interact with cabinets/locked buildings.
DEV’S COMMENT
We’ve added an interaction feature to an existing weapon to create new gameplay experiences. Unlock locked building doors for a new route or open cabinets for more items! (Since we’re all fans of Pans, why not create a new club for Crowbars?)
VEHICLE: THE RETURN OF THE SNOWMOBILE
Streak through the snow with the SNOWMOBILE.
Carries up to 2 players.
Max speed: 120km/h
Movement speed will no longer decrease on flat surfaces/concrete/roads/hard ground.
Players can now shoot from the driver’s seat with handguns.
Available modes
Snowmobiles will only spawn in Vikendi.
Normal Matches, Custom Matches
DEV’S COMMENT
How could we possibly leave out the Snowmobile from the land of snow? The popular Snowmobile has returned even better and faster this update – we’ve improved several factors such as its driving experience on different lands, etc. based on both community and internal feedback.
TRAIN
Train noise has been reduced by approximately 30%.
DEV’S COMMENT
We’ve reduced the noise the train creates based on current gameplay feedback. And I’ve heard rumors you’d be able to board vehicles to the train as well..?
WORLD
ERANGEL
Players can now board vehicles to the ferry.
Several improvements have been made to the ferry and pier for a more flexible vehicle navigation.
Certain objects have been removed from the ferry and pier.

WORLD DECORATIONS
PGC 2022 and Neymar Jr. objects have been removed from all maps.
TEMPORARY ISSUE
There is an issue where the Secret Room Key is unable to open Secret Rooms in Taego and Paramo. We are currently investigating the issue but have unfortunately confirmed the fix required more time and will be difficult to apply this update. THEREFORE, SECRET ROOM KEYS WILL NOT SPAWN IN TAEGO AND PARAMO DURING UPDATE 21.1.
This applies to every mode.
This issue will be fixed in Update 21.2.
GAMEPLAY
VEHICLE BALANCE
Adjustments have been made to certain vehicles.
ZIMA
Health: 900 → 1200
The Trunk feature has been added.
Trunk capacity: 250
Vehicle movement and control has improved on snow/ice terrain.
An area of the vehicle relatively vulnerable to extra damage has been slightly reduced.
PORTER
Health: 1200 → 1500
General speed has increased.
Max speed has not changed.
Vehicle control has improved.
PONY COUPE
General speed and torque in low RPM range has been slightly decreased.
Max speed has not changed.
MINIBUS
Health: 2000 → 2500
Torque in low RPM range has increased.
Max speed (normal) has increased to 87km/h.
Max speed (boost) has not changed.
Vehicle control has improved.
The vehicle’s tires’ health has slightly increased.
UAZ
Torque in low RPM range has increased.
Max speed has not changed.
MIRADO
Torque in low RPM range has increased.
Max speed has not changed.
Vehicle control has improved.
DEV’S COMMENT
Balance adjustments have been applied to certain vehicles based on in-game graphs and continuous player/internal feedback.
We’ve first boosted performances of vehicles which were not used as often in Vikendi by improving their control/movement when running on top of ice/snow terrain.
We’ve also received frequent feedback that the relatively popular Zima seemed more vulnerable to damage (compared to other vehicles). The Zima’s health itself is not considered to be on the lower side of the graph, but we confirmed it was comparatively lower than other 4-by-4 vehicles. Thus, not only have we increased its health, but we’ve sprinkled extra features to the Zima this update.
Furthermore, the Porter and MiniBus showed comparatively low usage rates – therefore, performance improvements have been applied to these vehicles as well to hopefully boost their popularity. There was also a sharp contrast in popularity between the Pony Coupe and Porter in Taego, so the Porter is granted extra health and better control while the Pony Coupe faces slower speeds.
Lastly, to respond to the feedback on certain vehicles’ low speed in low RPM ranges, we’ve increased the torque for certain vehicles such as the UAZ, Mirado, etc.
ANIMATION IMPROVEMENTS
Improvements have been made to certain character movements.
Reduced the character’s rather unnatural shoulder motions when sprinting with a weapon equipped.
DEV’S COMMENT
As we closely monitored our players’ feedback after our animation refresh back in Update #19.2, we’ve consistently received feedback that the shoulder movements were particularly looking rather unnatural. After thorough internal discussions, we’ve decided to repolish the animation mentioned above.
The updated animation is briefly featured in the 21.1 Highlights above, so make sure to check it out and share us your thoughts!

Alfa Romeo Giulia GTAm ’20
The Giulia GTA and GTAm are special editions of the Giulia released to celebrate the 110th anniversary of the founding of Alfa Romeo in 2020. Based on the high-performance Quadrifoglio model, performance has been increased even further for these anniversary editions. The power output of the 2.9L V6 twin-turbo engine has been increased to 532 BHP. Use of lightweight construction materials throughout the car has decreased the weight by 100 kg and the front and rear track width has been increased by 50 mm to shorten the effective wheelbase, all resulting in a significant improvement to handling. Additionally, the car features enlarged front fenders and arching over fenders on the rear, as well as several aerodynamic parts developed in conjunction with Alfa Romeo’s F1 partner Sauber. The GTAm offers a more hardcore setup designed for circuit use. It adds a larger front splitter and carbon fiber rear wing, while replacing the rear seats with a roll-cage.
Bugatti Chiron ’16
The Chiron is a super sports car unveiled by Bugatti in 2016. This limited production model was introduced as a follow-up to the Veyron, with only 500 units available worldwide. The exterior features large C-shaped lines that encircle the cabin and serve as air intakes. It also features an accentuated center-line inspired by the Type 57 Atlantic Coupe that increases straight line stability. The carbon fiber chassis provides the same level of rigidity as an LMP1 race car and houses an 8L W16 quad-turbo engine. This engine has been extensively tuned since the Veyron iteration to a maximum power output of 1,479.3 BHP and a maximum torque rating of 163.1 kgfm. The car is able to accelerate from 0-62.1 mph in 2.5s and a pre-production prototype was able to reach a maximum speed of 304.8 mph. In 2018, the Chiron Sport was introduced featuring an improved chassis weighing 18 kg less than the original. In 2019, the limited edition ‘Chiron Sport 110 Ans Bugatti’ was released to celebrate the 110th anniversary of Bugatti. Only 20 of these cars were made.
Chevrolet Corvette C8 Stingray ’20
The byword for the all-American sports car, the Chevrolet Corvette saw a historic change in 2019. Introduced that year, the eight generation Corvette became the very first in the line to use a midship layout. This revolutionary change is apparent from a single look at the exterior. The Chevrolet’s iconic long nose is nowhere to be seen, and with the cabin moved forward, the body fits the classic midship profile. Without an engine, the front section now serves as luggage space, meanwhile behind the engine sits another luggage area big enough for a golf bag. The V8 engine at the heart of the car is a new generation small block LT2 which was developed from the previous generation model C7’s LT1 engine. With 6.2L of displacement, it can produce 495.1 BHP/65.0 kgfm but also features fuel saving features like cylinder deactivation. The transmission is now only available as an 8- speed dual-clutch automatic but manual control is also possible using steering wheel mounted paddle shifters. The suspension uses double wishbone construction on all 4 corners and is available with a height adjustment system for handling high kerbs and other obstacles. The driver centered cockpit features a multifunctional infotainment system controlled by an 8-inch touchscreen. With the engine bay moved to the rear of the cabin, the new generation Corvette has shown itself to be a contender with exceptional performance in GT car racing.
Toyota Celica GT-FOUR Rally Car (ST205) ’95
After capturing the double title of both driver and maker championships thanks to the ST185’s brilliant showing in 1993, Toyota introduced the new ST205 Celica the following year, aiming to achieve even more victories. Although the new Celica had a bigger body, it had better weight distribution due to the enhanced stability from the expanded wheelbase and wheel track. Works team TTE was involved from the start of development, and key contributions were the improvement of overall aerodynamic and cooling performance. The Celica was planned to debut in the 1994 1000 Lakes Rally, but due to unexpected delays in undercarriage development it spent the season running trial races. Entering in 1995 as a full-scale participant, the Celica battled with the newly improved Subaru Impreza, and Didier Auriol brought in the first win in the 4th round at the Tour de Corse. Although Toyota continued to be afflicted by problems with the super strut suspension, the team continued racing and making improvements throughout the season to overcome the handicap. In the 7th round at Catalonia, the Celica was found to be in violation of the intake restrictor diameter regulation and was stripped of all points for the season. In opposition to the decision Toyota ceased participation in the WRC and the ST205’s appearance on the gala stage of the event was limited to just one season. Although it was only active for a short time, these machines gallant silhouette imprinted itself on the hearts of many fans. When discussing the Toyota rally scene, it is one car that must be mentioned.
2. Norway will be a featured Curation in Scapes.

God of War‘s success story only continues with a recent announcement that the franchise will be getting a TV series on Amazon. The project will have Rafe Judkins as the showrunner, who was responsible for shows such as “The Wheel of Time.”
Here’s a quote from Vernon Sanders, head of global television at Amazon Studios, on the God of War TV series.
We are honored to share in the adventure of exploring the God of War mythology in such a momentous way with Sony Pictures Television, PlayStation Productions, and Santa Monica Studio.
The God of War series has been in the works since way back in March, and it will follow the story of the 2018 game, with a young Atreus accompanying him to spread his mother’s ashes as her final wish. Things get complicated along the way, however, and the journey will test both Kratos and Atreus as they attempt to reach the highest peak.
God of War isn’t the first high-profile video game to get a series adaptation. Multiple games have had this sort of treatment in the past, such as Dota 2 and Halo. While the success of video game adaptations can be hit-or-miss, recent shows such as the Castlevania Series and Arcane have pushed the subgenre to new heights.
Along with the newly announced series adaptation for The Last of Us, which will air in January 2023, it looks like we’re going to be treated to some well-written adaptations in the near future.
Call of DUty fans who have only been able to play Warzone 2.0 up until now will have a chance to try out the game’s classic multiplayer modes for a few days, as a Modern Warfare 2 Free Access period for Multiplayer is set to run after Season 1 Reloaded launches, giving free access to some of MW2’s Multiplayer experience for five days.
Following the launch of Season 01 Reloaded on December 14, the Multiplayer Free Access period invites everyone to try a limited portion of the Multiplayer experience from December 15 through December 19 at 10 AM PT. Deploy to Farm 18, El Asilo, and the latest map courtesy of Season 01 Reloaded: Shipment. Compete in Team Deathmatch, Hardpoint, Domination, and Kill Confirmed, including the Third-Person variants of each.
With four game modes to play with, players who may be on the fence about whether to get Modern Warfare 2 or not should be able to give the game a fair shot. The new Third-Person Playlists will also introduce something fresh to new players and veterans alike. You’ll be able to play in three maps, which are Shipment, Farm 18, and El Asilo.
Here’s an image that summarizes what you can try out for free during the Free Access Period:
The Multiplayer Free Access Period for Modern Warfare 2 will be available from December 15 to 19, with the period ending at 10 AM PT.
Dying Light 2‘s getting a new feature that will allow players to build and share custom maps. The upcoming Dying Light 2 custom map feature was announced alongside a partnership with mod.io, a mod support system for games.
We are excited to announce that Techland is partnering with https://t.co/tR9ydpLRlP to give players the ability to create, download and share Custom Maps.
To kick off this new feature, we are preparing a contest that will test your building skills, stay tuned for more info! pic.twitter.com/2f21lpidzl
The developer tools needed to build the custom maps are already out, and you can download them for free on Steam and the Epic Games Store, with consoles getting it at some point, as Techland has it planned “down the road.”
Custom maps will also be available across platforms once the developer tools fully launch. This will allow console players to get in on the fun of game customization, something that’s usually only available to the PC audience. While cross-platform support isn’t up just yet, it should arrive sometime in Q1 2023.
Consoles will get mod support and custom maps in Q1
To celebrate the arrival of this feature, Dying Light 2 will host a contest for the community very soon. The contest, titled “Shape Your City,” features a $50,000 USD prize pool, so there’s a lot of incentive for budding mapmakers to join the festivities. There will also be an ASUS ROG Zephyrus Duo 16 Laptop and AMD hardware prizes up for grabs for those who want to get their hands on something more physical.
If you’re interested in giving the contest a shot, entries will be submittable until January 20 next year, with the winners announced on February 2.
Dying Light 2 is currently out on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. Check out our review for Dying Light 2 here, where it scored a solid 8.5/10.
If you’ve played The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt before and you want to experience the game right now with the next-gen upgrade that rolled out today, chances are, you’ll want to play the game using your old save file. Unfortunately, it’s not as easy as loading your PS4 file from the cloud and using it on the PS5. Well, we’re here to help with this The Witcher 3 guide on how to transfer your PS4 save file to PS5.
The Witcher 3 – How to Transfer PS4 to PS5 Save Files Guide:
Log in to your GOG.com (previously Good Old Games) account using your PSN account.
Load up the PS4 version (make sure it’s updated to 4.0) and go to Save Game/Load Game/My Rewards in the main menu, if you’re in the Save Game/Load Game section press L2 to open the GoG account link.
Once you’ve linked your accounts. You should re-save the game so that it will be the 4.0 version of the save. Doing this, you should see a cloud with a tick icon on the save file.
Now load up the PS5 version of the game, go to My Rewards and link to the GoG account similar to the PS4 version. Doing this will get the Load Game option to show up if you’re done the above correctly.
Check out the gallery below for a screenshot look at the guide:
https://imgur.com/a/ffvuQtM
Note that people are saying that there have been issues with the PS4 version not updating to patch 4.00 due to disc issues. Also, it seems the disc version and PSN account needs to be on the same region or else it might cause problems as well.
For those on Xbox, the process should fairly be similar. Leave a comment below if you’ve managed to make the transfer work using the method above.
