Metro Exodus Celebrates Launch with a New Trailer

After over a year’s worth of hype and anticipation, Metro Exodus has finally launched and 4A Games is celebrating the momentous occasion with a brand new trailer. In it, we see some of the best post-apocalyptic landscapes the game has to offer, each one brimming with dark and gritty atmosphere. It also showcases some of the praise the game has already received from critics. Metro Exodus is the third entry in the story-driven shooter series and is available on PC, Xbox One and PS4.

The game is set to release this March for PC, PS4, Switch and Vita. The game will feature a 4-on-4 multiplayer mode on all platforms except the Vita.


Nintendo may be Adding VR Support to the Switch This Year

Although Nintendo France managing director Philippe Lavoue has previously said that he doubts the VR will go mainstream, rumors are now surfacing that Nintendo may be announcing their own version of the experience for the Switch this year. According to Nintendo World Report, several sources have said that select first-party titles will receive VR support. Other evidence also exist, such as a screen-plitting VR mode hidden in the console’s firmware, and a Nintendo patent application for a head-mounted display.


Bayonetta 3 will be Launching Later This Year

The latest Nintendo Direct was definitely filled with lots of games to look forward to. However, it mentioned nothing about Bayonetta 3. This has left fans concerned about the development of the game, especially with PlatinumGames announcing a new ambitious game. Well, if you’re a Bayonetta fan, don’t fret. Senior product marketing manager Bill Trinnen has revealed that Bayonetta 3 will indeed be launching later this year. No specific window was mentioned, but we should get a solid date in the next couple of months.


Progress from the Private Beta Won’t Carry Over to The Division 2’s Open Beta

The Division 2’s open beta is scheduled to happen from March 1st to 4th. If you played during the private beta and are wondering whether you can continue your progress in the open beta, the answer is simply ‘no’. Given that the open beta will feature the same content as the private beta, those who played in the previous beta can choose to just skip this one and just wait for the full release. However, if you can’t get enough of The Division 2 and don’t mind starting over, go ahead and jump back in.


New Endless Mode ‘Stalker Trials’ Coming to Mutant Year Zero Road to Eden

A new endless mode called Stalker Trials is coming to Mutant Year Zero Road to Eden. According to Funcom, the mode “will populate a selection of the game’s maps with different types of enemies to create new challenges.” Players will have access to all crew members, mutations and skill, but weapons will have to be bought and upgraded, while armor and headgear will be unlocked along the way. The mode will arrive later this month and should give the rather short game a new breath of life.


Upcoming Jump Force Patch will Let Players Skip Cutscenes

Bandai Namco will be releasing an update for Jump Force “in the coming days” that will fix some stability issues, get rid of some bugs, and improve load times. The patch will also allow players to skip cutscenes, which, quite frankly, is a godsend given how most of them are definitely missable. No exact release date was given for when the patch will roll out. Bandai Namco has also said that there are other patches in the works for the game that will be revealed in future announcements.

Tencent Plans to Bring Apex Legends to China

Reports are saying that Tencent is currently in talks with EA to bring Apex Legends to China. An anonymous source told the South China Morning Post that both companies are locked in negotiations to reach a deal. Apex Legends has been a huge hit since its launch, hitting more than 25 million registered players in just one week. Not bad for a game that was announced and launched on the same day. Of course, bringing the Titanfall battle royale spin-off to the massive Chinese market will only serve to boost those numbers.


Dead or Alive 6 Demo Announced

Team Ninja announced during the recent EVO Japan that Dead or Alive 6 will be getting a demo.

PlanetSide Arena Has Been Delayed Again

PlanetSide Arena has suffered another delay. The game was first supposed to launch on January 29th but was pushed back to March. Now, after a closed beta, Daybreak Game Company has decided to push the game’s launch back even farther to this summer. Daybreak will be refunding all PlanetSide Arena pre-orders as well. It’s possible that Daybreak’s decision may be because of the feedback they got from the beta, but it’s hard to imagine that Respawn’s surprise hit, Apex Legends, didn’t play a part in changing the dev’s plans.

Valve’s Card Game Artifact Continues to Struggle

Artifact’s bleeding persists as it struggles to have up to 1000 concurrent players a day.

Valve has not spoken to the state of their card game so Artifact’s future is unclear.
