Modern Warfare 2 Beta Size Revealed, Client Uploaded to PlayStation Network

With Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2’s beta set to roll out soon, it looks like Activision has started prepping the beta client on the backend, and it’s been confirmed that it’s been uploaded to the PlayStation Network, which gives us an idea on how big the Modern Warfare 2 beta size is.

According to PlayStation Network data scraper PlayStation Game Sizes, the Modern Warfare 2 beta file size clocks in at 15-30GB, with the size varying for the platform and region. Those in EU, it seems you’ll be downloading the biggest data.

As one might expect, this will be quite a download even if it’s just a beta. Of course, Activision is known to release rather meaty beta slices of their games, so expect an update or two for the beta. If you want to check the complete schedule of the MW2 beta, head on over here. 

While the beta for PlayStation players with early access will kick off this September 16, the Call of Duty Next event will take place on September 15 where we will see the multiplayer revealed, a look at Warzone 2.0 and more!

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 launches for Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PS5, PS4, and PC on October 28, 2022.

The Division 2 Season 10: Price of Power Releases Sept. 13, Year 5 Content Confirmed

At today’s Ubisoft Forward event, Ubisoft announced The Division 2 Season 10: Price of Power release date, and it’s set for September 13 — yes, this coming week! In addition to that, the company also announced that Season 11 will be out sometime this year. 

Check out The Division 2 Season 10 roadmap:

Season 10: Price of Power is launching on September 13, sending Agents on a new Manhunt. The target is General Peter Anderson, a True Sons leader trying to broker a peace with the Black Tusk in order to martial their combined forces against The Division. Well, we can’t have that, now, can we? As you and your fellow Agents take out targets on the trail of General Anderson, you’ll earn rewards through the new Season Pass and get the chance to score new cosmetic items during apparel events.

Price of Power is the second of three planned Seasons in Year 4 of The Division 2; it will also introduce new difficulty levels for Countdown Mode and for two Stronghold missions, as well as other gameplay updates. As a reminder, seasonal content is only available for players who own The Division 2 Warlords of New York expansion.

According to Ubisoft, more content is planned after this year as well outside of Season 11, as the company confirmed The Division Year 5 support! No details for this were given yet, but we assume this will mean new events, adjustments, and missions are in store.

We’re expecting more details for Season 10 to be revealed in the coming days, and once we know more, we’ll let our readers know. You can check out the PTS patch notes for Season 10 here.

Don’t forget to check out our first official look at The Division Heartland, which is a free-to-play shooter for consoles and PC set in The Division universe, and is due out in 2022-2023.

Assassin’s Creed Red, Code Hexe and Codenamed Infinity Announced

Ubisoft has a ton of Assassin’s Creed content incoming for gamers in the next few years it seems, as not only did Asssassin’s Creed Mirage get an official announcement today, but “Assassin’s Creed Red”, “Code Hexe” and a project under the codename “Infinity” have also been announced for the franchise, too!

Assassin’s Creed Red Trailer:

Codenamed “Red,” the game will be based in Japan per the reveal trailer, and that’s about all we know so far.

Assassin’s Creed Code Hexe Trailer:

Based from the trailer, it features a dreamcatcher hanging, and seems to be focused on a more horror theme. According to Ubisoft’s presentation,  “We work in the dark… That’s all we can say for now about Assassin’s Creed codename Hexe.” From the looks of it, don’t be surprised if this tackles witches and is centered around the Salem Witch Trials period.

Lastly,  Assassin’s Creed Codenamed Infinity was also announced, which isn’t a game at all. Instead, it’s more of a platform. According to Ubisoft’s presentation, Infinity is a single entry point for fans to get into the Assassin’s Creed franchise. Players will be able to explore their very own Animus (like a time machine). Infinity will act like a hub that will unite all the different Assassin’s Creed experiences and players together.

Report: Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection PC Release Date, Fortnite Pre-Order Bonus Leaked

The Epic Games Store has accidentally revealed the Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection PC release date, along with a special Fortnite glider pre-order bonus!

A since-revised change to the Epic Games Store page stated that the Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection will release October 19, 2022 for PC. The collection includes the critically-acclaimed titles Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End and Uncharted: The Lost Legacy.

Players who pre-order the collection will receive a special Fortnite glider shaped like Sully’s iconic seaplane, Hog Wild.

The accidental leak also revealed that players will be able to pre-order the Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection starting some unknown, placeholder date in September. Players who wish to not pre-order the collection can still buy the Hog Wild-themed glider on November 17 from the Fortnite item shop.

The game’s store page has now been corrected to display a release date of “Coming Soon.” Players are not currently able to pre-order the Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection from the Epic Games Store.

Captain America Game With Black Panther Teaser Trailer Released

At today’s Disney & Marvel Games Showcase, a new Captain America game was unveiled along with a short teaser. Check it out below.

As you can see form the super short teaser, it will also star Black Panther, and other characters, too. Based on the music, theme and the short visuals they showed, this is set during World War 2. It’s being developed by Skydance New Media, which is where Amy Hennig (Uncharted) is situated.

There’s no official title, release date, nor platform revealed just yet. Hopefully, it’s a full-fledged AAA game, and once we know more, we’ll let our readers know.

Update: The press release has been sent out, confirming the game’s protagonist:

As the game’s narrative unfolds, players will be able to play an ensemble of four characters: a young Steve Rogers, aka Captain America; Azzuri, T’Challa’s grandfather and the WWII-era Black Panther; Gabriel Jones, a U.S. soldier and member of the Howling Commandos; and Nanali, leader of the fledgling Wakandan Spy Network. Players can look forward to intuitive controls and exhilarating second-to-second gameplay that captures the action and excitement of Marvel, inspired by landmark comics, television, and films, as they navigate this all-new globe-trotting adventure.

Still no platforms or title available though, but once we know more, we’ll let our readers know.
