Rejoice PlayStation players, Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is almost here. In fact, we’re so close to launch that starting today, if you’ve pre-ordered the game – you can begin pre-loading to make sure you’re ready for day one.
Ahead of launch, we wanted to go a little deeper today into MP and Zombies to make sure there are no details you’re missing. Let’s break down some key components around what to expect.
The multiplayer experienceFrom new maps and modes to new weapons and equipment, Black Ops 6 gameplay will be an experience unlike any other. There will be the core 6v6 modes you’ve come to know and love from Call of Duty, plus an all-new core 6v6 mode, Kill Order, where you must eliminate the enemy High Value Target (HVT) while protecting your own. In addition to these, jump into 2v2 Gunfight, as well as Face Off Alts of several of the 6v6 modes. Finally, looking for a challenge where your matches only have a limited HUD, friendly fire is enabled, and your health is ..

Rockstar veteran Obbe Vermeij reckons the studio can take its sweet time with GTA 6 because “there is no competition to worry about” and the game “will sell for 10+ years” anyway.
Vermeij, who also argued that the game’s 2025 release date won’t be truly locked in until early 2025 at the earliest, speculated on the game’s prospects in a recent Twitter post. Quick to stress that he has “no inside info” and “didn’t talk to anyone” on account of the fact that he left Rockstar North, where he worked as technical lead, 15 years ago, he said: “[GTA 6] will sell for 10+ years and there is no competition to worry about. They are not going to release the game until they’re 100% happy with it. No matter what it said in the trailer.”
In a follow-up reply, Vermeij reckoned the PC version of the game – which hasn’t been announced but seems inevitable given the success of Rockstar games on PC – may not arrive until 2027. He also weighed in on the possibility of Rockstar owner Take-Two Interactive p..

Vince Zampella – the Call of Duty boss turned Titanfall and Apex Legends boss who’s now also the Battlefield boss – is just like the rest of us in that he has opinions on the PS5 Pro’s $700 price tag. He reckons it is not that bad, actually.
“I think it’s expected and anything that gets us better performance for the people that really love it,” Zampella tells IGN. “To me, it’s an amazing thing. I was watching something on it where the price… where they look at is it the most expensive. And it really isn’t. If you go back, some of the older consoles were just as expensive and probably adjusted for inflation were probably more. So it at first seemed a little shocking, but it’s kind of like, it’s actually not that bad. And if you get a $700 PC, you’re not getting the same performance that you’re getting out of it.”
Zampella is certainly right that, adjusted for inflation, PS5 Pro is not the most expensive console ever released – it’s not even the priciest machine that Sony’s ever put ou..

Tales of the Shire, the upcoming life sim based in The Lord of the Rings universe, has been delayed to early 2025. It was originally scheduled to release this Fall.
No concrete reason was provided for the delay, but developer Wētā Workshop suggested the game simply needs more time in the oven.
“All of us here at Wētā Workshop are excited to have you join us in the Shire, a peaceful corner of J.R.R. Tolkien’s world. When a new hobbit steps into Bywater for the first time, we want that moment to be everything you’re hoping for.” The delay will give Wētā Workshop more time to “ensure we deliver that vision”.
I’m pretty bummed out about this one. I was on-board with a life sim, Stardew Valley-type farming game set in the Shire as soon as it was revealed back in April, and everything I’ve seen and heard since then has reinforced my anticipation for this game. My colleague Dustin’s glowing hands-on preview sealed the deal.
“This isn’t just a Stardew Valley reskin with a licensed gimmick, it’..
