Modern Warfare is back in a big way, with Call of Duty: Modern Warfare launches on October 25th, 2019. It’s a powerful reimagining from the ground-up and published by Activision, developed by Infinity Ward. Split-second decisions could ultimately upset the balance of power around the globe, and Modern Warfare will feature a unified narrative experience and progression across a single-player story as well as an action-packed multiplayer battleground.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare features a new engine delivering an immersive and photo-realistic experience. The new technology utilizes the latest advancements in visual engineering, including a physically-based material system allowing for state of the art photogrammetry, a new hybrid tile-based streaming system, new PBR decal rendering system, world volumetric lighting, 4K HDR, DirectX Raytracing (PC) and more as well as a new GPU geometry pipeline. Spectral rendering delivers thermal heat radiation and infrared identification for both thermal and night-vision in-game imaging. The technical investment provides a cutting edge animation and blend shape system, while the new suite of audio tools supports full Dolby ATMOS, on supported platforms, along with the latest in audio simulation effects.

“This is an all-new Modern Warfare reimagined in every way,” said Dave Stohl, co-Studio Head, Infinity Ward. “We are creating an emotionally charged experience that’s inspired by the headlines in the world today, where the rules are grey and battle lines are blurred. Players will join a varied cast of international special forces and freedom fighters in gripping and heart-pounding missions through iconic European cities and volatile expanses of the Middle East. It’s intense, it’s exciting, and we can’t wait for our fans to play this October.”

“Every design decision has been made with our players in mind,” said Patrick Kelly, Creative Director and co-Studio Head, Infinity Ward. “With the launch of Modern Warfare, we’re taking steps to unite the community. First, we plan for Modern Warfare to be played together across PC and console through cross-play support. Second, we’re eliminating the traditional season pass, so that we can deliver more free maps and content as well as post-launch events to all players. This is just the beginning – there’s much more to come.

Today we have a first in a series of behind-the-scenes videos about the development of Code Vein from Bandai Namco.

Judgment’s Yagami shows off some of his sweet moves today in a new combat trailer, where he swaps between two unique fighting styles: Tiger and Crane. He uses these moves to take down punks and massive groups of thugs with equal efficiency. He’s also a master of street weaponry – from chopsticks up to the mighty bicycle.

SEGA and Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio have also announced a collaboration with Escape Room LA for a limited-time Judgment-themed Escape Room. This opens on June 30th and will run until July 13th, with tickets available here. This room builds on top of Escape LA’s immersive noir-themed ‘The Detective’ escape room. The Detective: Judgment features a new Judgment-themed story and clues, and has voiced lines from Greg Chun, the English voice of Judgment’s leading character Takayuki Yagami. Taking place in the Yagami Detective Agency in the heart of Kamurocho, ‘The Detective: Judgment’ is designed to bring players into Yagami’s investigation as they help search for clues, track down suspects, and crack the case before disaster strikes.

Tower Five released their action strategy RPG Lornsword Winter Chronicle onto Steam’s Early Access platform today. Lornsword Winter Chronicle combines real-time strategy gameplay with an engaging narrative and an action-based control system. The prologue and first chapter have been released now, and the next two chapters will arrive when the game moves into its commercial launch, later in 2019.

Battles are fast and frenetic as combatants clash on a dynamic battlefield that shifts with the ebb and flow of tactical decisions made in the heat of the moment. Lornsword is a world where blades and bayonets clash with the dark magic of priests and shadow weavers, and where skilled range attacks by arrow or matchlock rifle deal damage from afar. However, you are not alone, as friends can drop in via the co-op option, and thus lighten the tactical load. It will become important for players to balance between finance and food since an army marches on its stomach. It will be essential to spend time on exploration, and capturing farms/gold mines.

“Early Access is a great opportunity for us to gather player feedback and incorporate that into the final version of the game, including the forthcoming console versions”, said Renaud Charpentier, Game Director at Tower Five. “Player insights into different aspects of the game from cooperative gameplay to the control system and unit types will allow us to deliver a truly unique action strategy game.”

Destiny Connect: Tick-Tock Travelers revealed today that it’s coming to North America on October 22nd. It will arrive on October 25th for Europe and November 1st for Oceania fans. In today’s trailer, players meet the brave Sherry, her timid friend Pegreo, and the mysterious robot Isaac.

Fatshark Games announced today that Winds of Magic, the upcoming expansion to Warhammer: Vermintide 2 will be releasing in August. Winds of Magic will feature different gameplay experiences, such as a total of eight winds that will confront the players in new and surprising ways. This will offer an endless difficulty curve for even the mightiest adventurers. There are new weapons as well, such as Bardin’s throwing axe. All heroes will receive unique weapons to fit their combat style and will bring something new to every player’s experience. It will also add leaderboards, so there is no question who the greatest hero is.

“Winds of Magic is the next chapter in the Vermintide 2 saga, and it brings plenty of new material to the already well established Vermintide 2 universe.” say Martin Wahlund, CEO Fatshark. “The Beastmen alone is a great addition, but combining it with new ways to play the game, new weapons, new challenges, and all the winds, will make Vermintide 2 look like a completely new game.”
