EA and Omega Force have unleashed seven minutes of brand new Wild Hearts gameplay today! Not only do we get a better understanding of how combat works, but we even see gigantic beasts too!
It looks like Monster Hunter, but with a lot more flexibility in how your character moves and performs combat actions.
From scenic meadows to verdant bamboo forests, get a look at some of your hunting grounds in the beautiful but troubled land of Azuma. See how karakuri will aid in taking down the mighty beasts you’ll face in both single and multiplayer as well as the incredible weapons you’ll be able to wield.
Master ancient tech to hunt down giant beasts. WILD HEARTS™ is a unique twist on the hunting genre where technology gives you a fighting chance against fearsome beasts infused with the ferocious power of nature itself. Take on these creatures alone or hunt with friends in seamless co-op.
Developed by Omega Force, the Japanese studio behind the DYNASTY WARRIORS franchise and in partnership with EA Originals, WILD HEARTS takes you on an epic adventure set in a fantasy world inspired by feudal Japan.
In other Wild Hearts news, it’s been confirmed that it will feature up to three-player co-op, with crafting a big emphasis on combat.
Wild Hearts slashes out on the PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC this February 17, 2023.
A new rumor suggests that Sledgehammer Games is working on a Call of Duty Advanced Warfare sequel that is reportedly coming in 2025. The sequel will be a follow-up to the 2014 title, bringing the franchise back to a more fast-paced futuristic shooter.
RalphsValve reported via WhatifGaming that an Advanced Warfare sequel is in the works, and is slated for 2025. According to the report, this title is scheduled about a year after the release of Treyarch’s next Call of Duty game in 2024. It seems like Modern Warfare 2 will run for about two years before Activision returns to its annual Call of Duty release cycle.
Another Call of Duty leaker, TheGhostOfHope was able to corroborate this rumor.
Nothing else about the Advanced Warfare sequel was shared in the report, except that it is indeed in the works. However, assuming that it is a direct sequel, it will be set sometime after 2061 and may even continue the story of Jack Mitchell. It’s also safe to assume that Activision might be trying the futuristic approach (again) with Call of Duty after the feeble reception of Vanguard.
Activision hasn’t acknowledged or commented on the report as of yet. Therefore, take this rumor with a grain of salt and we will make sure to update our readers as soon as any development or announcement is made.
Ubisoft is rolling out a new title update for Rainbow Six Siege today, and along with that, there’s also server maintenance! So if you’re seeing Rainbow Six Siege down reports surface this October 5, this is why.

If the downtime is extended, we’ll be sure to let our readers know and update the article
Sony has released a new firmware update for the PlayStation 5. Those booting their consoles, you will see PS5 update 22.02-06.00.01 show up and it’s a small download. Given we just got a load of fresh new features from last month’s firmware update, don’t expect anything out of the ordinary from this one.
As one might expect from an unannounced Sony PS5 firmware rollout, this one only has one changelog and it’s what players already know:
This system software update improves system performance.
Yep, that’s about it. Given the recent PS5 jailbreak that transpired a few days ago, this might probably be connected to it, as Sony would want to patch out any vulnerabilities ASAP.
If there’s anything new that’s spotted from this patch that will affect gamers, we’ll update the post accordingly.
Developer Soleil has released Valkyrie Elysium update 1.02, and this is a small patch that brings in fixes to the RPG. Read on for what’s new in the Valkyrie Elysium October 5 patch notes listed below.
So far, Square Enix has not acknowledged the patch just yet, but there is a changelog for the PS4 version of the game.
・Game balance adjusted
・Various bugs fixed
Yep, that’s about it. It doesn’t go into detail what bugs were fixed, or what kind of game balance were made. We’re on the lookout for changes made, though the community has not mentioned anything yet still.
Valyrie Elysium was released on September 29 for the PS4, PS5, and our review will be hitting the site soon, so stay tuned.
Frontier Developments has deployed F1 Manager 2022 update 1.09, and this introduces a short list of fixes to the sim. This patch is available now on all platforms, and the official F1 Manager 2022 October 5 patch notes are available below.
F1 Manager 2022 Update 1.09 Patch Notes | F1 Manager 2022 October 5 Patch Notes:
Improvements made to fuel usage, reducing instances of both player and AI drivers running out of fuel during a race
Improvements made to AI behaviour during wet or mixed conditions races, reducing instances of unrealistic or unnecessary pit stops
Fixed issue causing dilemma pop-ups to not be clickable on ultra-wide screens when ‘enable widescreen UI during sessions’ is enabled
That seems to be it for this title update. The previous patch, version 1.08. brought in a host of gameplay fixes, which we posted as well.
For the list of known issues that Frontier Developments is tackling for the game, head on over here.
NBA 2K23 update 1.007 has been released for current-gen platforms (PS5, Xbox Series X|S), and this is a small download which is surprising for the game. Read on for what’s new in the NBA 2K23 PS5 update patch notes.
NBA 2K23 Update 1.007 Patch Notes:
Download size: 400MB
Update: It seems Visual Concepts won’t be releasing any patch notes at all for the title update. One thing that seems to have been fixed/patched out is how players can get VC after technical fouling out — at least according to the community.
It seems Visual Concepts has not acknowledged the patch just yet, and the community is not happy about it. We’re hoping that changes sometime throughout the day. As for the last patch, Visual Concepts did mention it on social media, though the devs also said that it was purely for stability fixes.
If we do get patch notes later, we’ll be sure to update the post accordingly. For those playing, if you notice changes to VC drops, technical fixes and whatnot, please leave a comment below and let us know.
In case you haven’t bought the game yet, our NBA 2K23 review states, “Ultimately, NBA 2K23 isn’t simply a carbon copy of previous iterations and should be viewed as a step in the right direction for 2K’s continued evolution.”

Visual Concepts has released NBA 2K23 update 1.04, and this seems to be another unannounced title update. Don’t expect any new content for this patch as well. Read on for the NBA 2K23 October 5 patch notes.
NBA 2K23 Update 1.04 Patch Notes | NBA 2K23 October 5 Patch Notes:
Update: It seems Visual Concepts won’t be releasing any patch notes at all for the title update. One thing that seems to have been fixed/patched out is how players can get VC after technical fouling out — at least according to the community.
Unfortunately, Visual Concepts has not mentioned anything regarding the patch just yet, and we are hoping that will change throughout the day.
There is no word on the game’s subreddit about it as well, which is odd. Unfortunately, the last few patches for the game didn’t have changlogs as well, with Visual Concept mentioning that one of the current-gen patches were for stability fixes and nothing more.
If we do get patch notes later, we’ll be sure to update the post accordingly. For those playing, if you notice changes to VC drops, technical fixes and whatnot, please leave a comment below and let us know.

Following the launch of Update 3.1 “King Deshret and the Three Magi” for Genshin Impact, developer miHoYo discussed the game’s future roadmap as well as its existing content with GameSpot. Among other things, the developers confirmed that Genshin Impact’s Spiral Abyss will remain the game’s only permanent endgame content to prevent “anxiety” for players.
The Spiral Abyss is a special challenge-based Domain in Genshin Impact with large in-game currency rewards. While access to the Domain opens after just Adventure Rank 20, the rewards for the first eight stages (Abyssal Corridor) can only be collected once.
The final four stages (Abyssal Moon Spire), designed for endgame players, are notoriously difficult, but are reset twice a month with new enemies and elemental features. Each reset bears up to 600 Primogems and 585000 Mora along with other consumable rewards, making the Abyssal Moon Spire a critical part of the free-to-play gacha experience.
As a result, endgame players invest a great deal of time and energy into designing ideal parties and conquering each Abyssal Moon Spire challenge before it expires.
The studo, while standing by the Spiral Abyss’ utility and challenges, do not plan to add any other permanent endgame content, fearing that doing so would create additional stress for players.
The Spiral Abyss is one of the most effective ways [for] players [to] test out their party composition and combat strength. If we design another type of permanent endgame that is similar to the Spiral Abyss, it might end up creating excessive anxiety for our players–not everyone is interested in Musk Reef.
Just like [the] Genius Invokation TCG that we unveiled in the Special Program for Version 3.2, we are also working on designing more interesting gameplay in the future. As an open-world game, Genshin Impact has a natural compatibility with various types of gameplay, which gives us confidence in the long-term operation.
It’s disappointing news for F2P players seeking additional Primogem sources, but makes sense overall. Designing an additional timesink for players that are already struggling with Abyssal Moon Spire challenges does not sound like a wise decision regardless of how expensive the gacha system is.
On a lighter note, check out the details of the on-going HoYo Fest 2022 event taking place all across Southeast Asia.
CD Projekt RED unleashed a couple of bombs today with the announcement of a new The Witcher trilogy, Cyberpunk 2077’s sequel and more brewing at the studio. However, CDPR wasn’t done there.
In a video presentation titled the CD Projekt Group Strategy Update: Long-Term Product Outlook, I’m Adam Kiciński President and Joint CEO of CDPR shared that the first three releases in the company’s pipeline will belong to The Witcher franchise. Out of the first three games, two are already in pre-production, and what’s more, the studio plans to deliver all three games over a six-year period staring with the release of Polaris, which is The Witcher game that was announced earlier this year. Another game included in the new The Witcher trilogy is Project Sirius, which has been confirmed today to feature multiplayer that will gamers play with others.
What makes CDPR confident in this new timeline plan regarding three large-scale productions is with the technology, as the studio aims to for the second and third Witcher game to benefit greatly from Polaris’ groundwork, which will make development of the other titles much smoother.
Finally, for the last Witcher game in the trilogy, which is codenamed Canis Majoris, this will be a full-fledged Witcher production, though it will be developed by an external studio who are “headed by experienced developers who have worked on earlier Witcher games.”
You can watch the entire presentation below.
Given how awesome The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt was, I’m optimistic that CDPR has learned their lesson with Cyberpunk 2077. Let’s hope the studio can recapture the franchise’s old magic, and if that’s the case, we have a very awesome six years of Witcher gaming waiting for us.
Relic Entertainment and Sega have announced that their upcoming RTS Company of Heroes’ release date has been delayed to February 23, 2023 on account of shortcomings in development and player experience.
The latest entry in the real-time strategy Company of Heroes series was announced back in July last year. Company of Heroes 3 once again returns to the franchise’s WW2 setting and four playable factions at launch and two unique single-player experiences.
The game received a November 17, 2022 release date this July, but that no longer holds true. The game’s developers have pushed its release back to February next year, as they believe the game does not meet requisite quality standards and needs further optimization.
We’ll keep our readers updated as Company of Heroes 3 nears release.

Bloober Team is turning their psychological horror game, The Medium into a TV series. Bloober will be partnering with Platige Images under the supervision of Tomasz Bagiński (producer on The Witcher on Netflix) and Piotr Babieno to bring The Medium TV series to life.
If you didn’t know, The Medium is a psychological horror game by the Bloober Team, released in January 2021. It is set in post-communist Poland, where the main character, Marianne helps stray souls find peace. The game is filled with a series of mysteries and you also take a look at Marriane’s past. Our review of the game called it a “title worth playing” giving it an impressive rating of 8.5/10.
Piotr Babieno, president of Bloober Team (via a press release) says:
Both the film industry and the video game industry are close to my heart and I am very happy that there is finally an opportunity to bring them both together. My joy is even greater because two Polish companies are taking part in production, and a series will be created on the basis of our game. The story we told in the game was appreciated by players, and now more people will be able to hear about it. The latest hits of streaming platforms based on games such as “Cyberpunk: Edgerunners” or “Arcane” have shown that this is the perfect time for such productions.
As of right now, the details shared about the upcoming TV series are scarce. We do not know when it is coming out, nor about its setting or story. It looks like Bloober Team will share more details soon.
In case you didn’t know, Overwatch 2 is now out and servers have been activated — at least for a short while, as Overwatch 2 down reports have surfaced this launch day of October 4, which shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone.
Overwatch 2 Down Server Status and Updates for October 4:
Update: Mike Ybarra, president of Blizzard, has confirmed that they are experiencing a mass DDoS (distributed denial of service) attack on the servers, which is contributing to the server issues.
Unfortunately we are experiencing a mass DDoS attack on our servers. Teams are working hard to mitigate/manage. This is causing a lot of drop/connection issues. https://t.co/4GwrfHEiBE
Blizzard has issued an announcement that they are aware that players are seeing the “Unexpected Error” message.
[#OW2] We're aware that some players are encountering an Unexpected Server Error message when attempting to sign in. This is actively being worked on. Thank you for your patience!
[#OW2] We’re aware that some players are encountering an Unexpected Server Error message when attempting to sign in. This is actively being worked on. Thank you for your patience!
Mind, this really shouldn’t be that surprising, as I gather, millions of players around the world are all trying to login at the same time, which would definitely tax the servers. If you’re new to the game, read up on what you need to know in order to play it. Once Blizzard announces more updates regarding the server situation, we’ll update the post accordingly.
If you can connect and play, leave a comment below and tell us which platform you’re on, and where you’re connecting from.
