Call of Duty expanding in competitions
Next year, Activision is expanding their popular military shooter game, Call of Duty on the eSports Scene. Until this year, the game only held an Annual Tournament with the prize pool of $1 million dollars, next year the publisher is expanding its prize pool to $3 million dollars and there are going to be a lot more international tournaments for Call of Duty.
This idea of a tournament is similar to WCS, where you compete in 3 seasons against similar teams, you accumulate points and at the end of the year the first 16 teams will compete in a final championship for the huge prize money.
“This is going to mark a new era of e-sports for ‘Call of Duty,’ it signals Activision stepping up our commitment to what we’ve been doing with e-sports. We’re expanding our season to make it a fun, competitive year leading into the ‘Call of Duty’ Championship.” said Rob Kostich general manager for Call of Duty at Activision.
As a Call of Duty player myself, I find this news very comforting. In the last years the eSports scene was revolving around DOTA, League of Legends, Counter Strike and occasionally Starcraft, but now with the decision Activison made, maybe we will have more action in the eSports scene all around the world.
And we can’t forget that Call of Duty is one of the first games alongside Counter Strike and Starcraft that had a competitive scene and made eSports what it is today.
We’ve been eyeing Broken Roads, an isometric CRPG set in post-apocalyptic Australia, and a developer-led gameplay overview gave us our best look yet.
With a moral compass for existential musings, Disco Elysium fans will love this. On a good day, outback Western Australia looks post-apocalyptic.
Since we last played, combat has changed. Free-form movement replaces grid-based combat maps. Four playable origin stories will keep players busy for 25 hours in the full release.
Broken Roads debuts on PS5 and PS4 in 2023. Is this oatmeal tempting?
Sonic Frontiers’ first DLC arrives this week, delighting fans.
SEGA announced a lot of extra content for the open-zone platformer in 2023 late last year. Owners can simply enjoy the game’s gradual expansion since it’s free.
First, the sights, sounds, and speed update SEGA informs game owners that the content update will arrive on March 23. The content roadmap suggests a jukebox, photo mode, and new challenges, but the email doesn’t elaborate.
Sonic Frontiers’ first DLC—excited?

2K’s PS5 and PS4 LEGO Racing Game Looks Like a Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed Successor
We don’t have Mario Kart on PlayStation, but Sumo Digital’s Sonic & All-Star Racing Transformed is the closest rival to Nintendo’s classic series. LEGO 2K Drive, a weekend leak, appears to have the same energy.
Despite being an open world, screenshots show multifaceted races in LEGO cars, boats, and planes. Images show swamps, freeways, and haunted houses. It looks nice, actually.
2K Sports is developing several LEGO-themed sports games, including a soccer game. The Danish brick manufacturer is revamping its portfolio to include more than just licensed products like LEGO Star Wars and LEGO Harry Potter. (Another of the latter is reportedly coming.)
We’re open to this LEGO-inspired racer because PS5 and PS4 arcade racers are scarce. With Disney Speedstorm and another ModNation racer from Sony, the future may be brighter.
