It almost seems like yesterday many people were complaining that every shooter focused on World War II. Call of Duty and Battlefield in particular took that critique to heart and proceeded to create anywhere from borderline futuristic shooters to full-blown sci-fi shooters these past handful of years. Although props to Battlefield 1 for going back to the very first World War, a first for the series. Activision may not be willing to take quite that big a risk, but have greenlight another Call of Duty for the World War II setting. Frankly, it seems like the right call because the lack of boots on the ground shooters from the CoD franchise has been in short supply.

Well, as promised the official reveal of “Call of Duty WWII” happened not too long ago and we have all the latest details. Sledgehammer Games is looking to craft the most immersive World War 2 environment ever while keeping the respect to a bloody conflict. That’s why the developers put a lot of hands on for this game. The team spent time on gun ranges with authentic World War 2 weaponry, watched many hours of old clips and war footage, visited museums and actual old war routes, and literally talked with veterans. Additionally, there is a focus on brotherhood and comradery which acts as a theme behind Call of Duty WWII.

The entire story will take place in Europe from 1944-1945 through the eyes of Private Red Daniels and will feature levels in France, Belgium, England, Germany, and more. Some voice actors have even described it as a massive feature film. A co-op mode you can probably guess will make its mandatory appearance as well. Nazi Zombies will be a separate story that once again focuses on horror elements. The plot behind it is the Third Reich grows desperate and tries to create a new army in the finals stages of the war. No other details were revealed other than a single headshot of a zombie.

Divisions will also make their way to Call of Duty WWII. Not much info was given, but by the sounds of it the feature will play a lot like Battlefield’s setup. Basically being able to choose a class so to speak. It has been said to add immersion to the experience. Most excitingly though is the addition of Headquarters. This “mode” acts like a living space for soldiers and seems inspired by the likes of PlayStation Home or Destiny’s Tower. The quick (read: five second) trailer showed much more than twelve gamers hanging around in a social, war torn space. Again, not much info was given about this new feature.

Call of Duty WWII Officially Revealed; The Full Wrap-Up of All Details

Lastly, the release for Call of Duty WWII has been confirmed for November 3rd of this year. You’ll be guaranteed a spot in it if you pre-order and PlayStation users will receive it first. Plus, a multiplayer beta has been confirmed to arrive before the game’s launch date. We’ve been promised a lot more info come E3 2017 and as always we’ll keep you updated.

It appears that many

are eagerly anticipating the launch of the highly anticipated PS5 exclusive, Stellar Blade. Shift Up, the developer, has shared a lengthy video showcasing the “secrets” found in the physical box of the game for PS5. From what we can gather, these secrets include a reversible cover/dust jacket and a download code for cosmetic items.

We must clarify that while we do appreciate the variant cover, it may be more appealing than the game’s standard art. However, it is not something we would typically classify as a “secret.”. However, what’s interesting is that Shift Up has confirmed through the comments section that this will be the case in all regions. Additionally, the visually striking action RPG will remain uncensored worldwide.

It’s refreshing to witness a developer going the extra mile for physical collectors, and it’s evident that the developer is determined to leave a favorable mark in the console realm. Stellar Blade is set to make its highly anticipated debut this Friday, April 26th, exclusively on the PS5.

Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora has received an exciting update that introduces a new graphical mode, elevating the game’s visual experience. With a smooth frame rate of 40 frames per second and enhanced resolutions, players can now immerse themselves in even more stunning and detailed environments. Now downloadable on PS5 with the latest patch 3.2, this mode is compatible with 4K TVs that can handle up to 120 Hz. Before this update, Avatar PS5 only offered quality and performance modes. However, with this new option, players can now enjoy the benefits of both modes after downloading the 2.4GB update.

Throughout the PS5 era, 40fps modes have been a rarity, much to the disappointment of the hardcore community. Insomniac Games first introduced them in Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales and later added the feature to Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart. They also included it in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2. Other PS5 titles, such as Hogwarts Legacy, Lies of P, and God of War Ragnarok, also offer 40fps modes.

In addition to that, Patch 3.2 for Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora brings along the following:

Worldwide:

  • Research Station Alpha now features a convenient Fast Travel option
  • The issue of controller re-mapping and resetting on game restart has been resolved
  • Addressed multiple instances of crashes
  • I corrected a few spelling errors
  • Addressed the issue of voice lines overlapping during dialogue

Primary Objectives & Optional Objectives:

  • [Main Quest: Shadows of the Past] This main quest is an intriguing journey into the depths of history. Addressed a bug that previously hindered quest progression in co-op mode

More bug fixes have been implemented.

  • [Available on all platforms] The rescued human characters no longer return to the Resistance HQ wearing masks
  • Available on all platforms. There is a noticeable improvement in the visibility of NPCs when they are at the edge of the Player’s vision
