- Starfield and RedFall Delayed – Bethesda’s next big games are taking a little longer to arrive. These two games are now expected to release in the first half of 2023. This is part of a larger trend of delays that we’ve seen over the past few years due to the pandemic. Personally, I am in favor of delays at this point. Battlefield 2042 and Cyberpunk 2077 both launched with a myriad of issues. On the other hand, Halo Infinite (campaign) was a delayed a full year and was received really well. With gaming services prime to fill the void, Starfield and Redfall developers should take their time to give fans great games.
- EA and FIFA Part Ways – After decades of a prolific partnership, the two companies decide to part ways. This makes FIFA 23 the last EA title with FIFA name and branding. With that said, future EA soccer titles will still feature big leagues and players under a new moniker EA Sports FC. Talks over new contract details became public last year, showing FIFA wanted more money for using their name and rights to the World Cup in-game. Apparently, the two sides could not come to an agreement. EA has built up a considerable fanbase for its soccer franchise and expects continued success.
- Gotham Knights Updates – Recently, more details came out over WB Games’ next DC inspired game, which will be released in October of this year. Gotham Knights features 4 playable characters and co-op campaign. A new trailer featuring Redhood and Nightwing, shows what gameplay would be like in the new game. Alongside the trailer the studio announced that the game will only release on the newest consoles and PC. The team cites wanting to give players the best experience by focusing on the latest platforms. While next-gen consoles are still hard to come by, hopefully players can get to enjoy this game by the time it comes out.
- Battlefield 2042 cuts Breakthrough Game Mode – Another nail in the coffin for the once gilded series. DICE will cut out the 128-player Breakthrough game mode, leaving the 64-player mode in. Conquest game modes are left untouched, but this shows yet another problem the game is suffering from. As mentioned above, I have been playing the game again, but it feels very empty. Most matches are filled with bots as player count continues to drop off.
- Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 Teaser and Launch Date – A highly anticipated game in my eyes finally got announced this month with a teaser trailer. Many internet sleuths have tried decoding the messages within and even extrapolated a location in Singapore. More recently, the game was given an official release date for October 28th, 2022. I definitely want to put this game on my holiday wish list.
