News - Call Of Duty: MW4 Features A Car Created By Iconic Brand That Looks Like A Ha

Activision and iconic car company Aston Martin have teamed up to bring an all-new car to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4.

The Aston Martin Dreadnought was designed exclusively for Modern Warfare 4, and it looks pretty slick. The SUV is described as an "uncompromising and deliberately extreme creation" featuring Aston Martin's "high-performance, luxury DNA."

The name Dreadnought is inspired by the famous British warship, HMS Dreadnought. The car itself looks somewhat like Halo's iconic Warthog, but with a roof.

The Dreadnought will be available in MW4's DMZ and Warzone modes. Infinity Ward boss Jack O'Hara said collaborating with Aston Martin was an "incredible. journey," saying the vehicle is the "most aggressive all-wheel drive" in MW4.

Aston Martin created a full-size model of the Dreadnought, which will be on display at Fanatics Fest this weekend in New York City. MW4's multiplayer is available at the event, allowing attendees to be among the first to play it. A free public multiplayer beta will be held later that you can play from home.

MW4 launches on October 23 for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Switch 2, and PC.

News - Former Rockstar Dev Explains GTA 6’s Console-First Approach

GTA 6 is shaping up to be the hottest console game launch of the year, but PC gamers won't be sharing in that fun. This is par for the course with developer Rockstar Games, as it has typically prioritized console versions of its games before porting them to PC, a strategy that one former employee says will result in a better port.

Former Rockstar Games producer John Ricchio explained to KiwiTalkz that while Rockstar had experimented with developing its games for PC, this ultimately caused problems down the line. "It's always better to start with the constraints and then extend," Ricchio said. "Because shrinking is a lot harder than extending. It's way harder to make your game performant than it is to just be like 'Oh, we've got extra room? Cool, we can deoptimize or make things more shiny.'"

Ricchio explained that Rockstar in the 2010s would often discuss where to focus its resources, as the studio had to deal with hardware limitations and other platform-specific issues. This approach wasn't the result of Rockstar having a platform bias, but a business decision that would make sense at the end of the day. Even with thousands of employees spread across the globe, Rockstar still has to likely prioritize where to utilize that talent in a game as ambitious as GTA 6, Ricchio added. 

Take-Two boss Strauss Zelnick also spoke about the lack of GTA 6 on PC recently, pushing back against the theory that Sony's co-marketing deal with Rockstar Games is the reason why it'll launch on consoles first. In 2025, Zelnick said PC had become a more important platform than before, and a few years earlier, former Rockstar developer Mike York said Rockstar wants to "prioritize what sells."

Even without PC sales, GTA 6 is expected to sell 40 million copies and drive more than $3 billion in revenue during its first year. A new report from research firm Newzoo is making the bold claim that the game could reach between $3.3 billion and $5.2 billion in global sales in just its first week. For now, GTA 6 is still locked in for a November 19 launch on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, and if you'd like to see how close it is, you can check out GameSpot's GTA 6 countdown clock to watch the seconds tick by.

News - These Fortnite Swimsuit Skins Better Not Awaken Anything In Me

Fortnite is never without its summer event, but this year's sunny celebration has a special focus: DC Comics. Hot Bat Summer is the official name of the weeks-long event, which runs for five weeks starting on July 16. It includes a new Batman Sprite, the return of the grapnel gun, new Shiny Hours, and lots of free cosmetics.

Perhaps the highlight, however, is the foursome of new swimsuit skins for the DC Comics lineup. Mirroring Marvel Rivals' penchant for nearly naked superheroes and villains, Fortnite is introducing swimsuit versions of Catwoman, Batman, Harley Quinn, and Poison Ivy, all of whom you can see below.

They follow a recent trend of Epic being comfortable with putting out skins with more revealing features than it once would. It started when Kim Kardashian's skin was the first to introduce cleavage. Soon after, Homer Simpson became the first Fortnite skin to feature nipples. Just recently, the Chapter 7 Season 3 battle pass included its horniest skin ever.

Well, until today, because I think the new Poison Ivy skin probably has that one beat. This better not awaken anything in me.*

The event also includes tons of quests that will periodically dole out free items, with the highlight being a really cool glider styled like comic-book pages.

During matches, players will also see things like an unvaulted grapnel gun, a Batman Beach Buggy vehicle, and the addition of the Bat Cave being a temporary location you can visit on the island.

On July 18, battle royale will feature Shiny Hours from 2 PM ET to 4 PM ET, as well as 9 PM ET to 11 PM ET. During these blocks, all players will start rounds with a grapnel gun, while self-revive devices, Batman Sprites, and Batman Beach Buggies will spawn more frequently.

Rare Sprites will also appear more often. If you're curious, the Batman Sprite lets you deploy your cape midair, as well as find rare Sprites in chests more often.

Hot Bat Summer runs for the next five weeks, which means it'll disappear with about two weeks left in the season, as the next Fortnite season is expected to start around August 20.

News - World Of Warcraft’s Haranir Lore Reveal Has Players Scratching Their Heads

World of Warcraft's latest storyline is one of its most lore-heavy quests to date, and the revelations included within have left players scratching their heads trying to make sense of what all it means for Azeroth's ancient history.

Spoilers for patch WoW 12.07 below!

A story prologue introduced in patch 12.07 meant to lead into the game's major 12.1 content patch sees the haranir, the vaguely troll and elvish-looking playable allied race introduced in Midnight, invite the leaders of all the various troll and elf factions to their home to inform them about an important revelation--they are all related! According to a vision presented by haranir leader Elder Hagar, trolls and elves are directly descended from the haranir, thus making them all one big happy family who should get along.

Needless to say, the elves and trolls, who have a long bloody history in opposition to one another, don't exactly see things that way. Many of the faction leaders have a hard time accepting the haranir's lore dump. One of the Amani leaders, Zul'jan, storms away, looking to disprove the haranir's claims and in the process stumbles upon an ancient evil he will seek to use to restore the Amani trolls to power in patch 12.1.

The "news" that trolls and elves are related doesn't exactly feel like news at all to many in the WoW community. In-game hints and theories about the elves having descended from trolls go back nearly two decades, to WoW's earliest days. These subtle hints were later confirmed in things like (as Wowhead points out) the official World of Warcraft: The Magazine and the World of Warcraft: Chronicle books, the latter of which serves as a comprehensive history of Blizzard's Warcraft setting. According to those sources, it was a splinter group of underground dwelling trolls called the dark trolls who would eventually evolve into the night elves players know today.

The fact that the trolls and elves are blindsided by the news that they are ancient relatives is a little odd, since it doesn't exactly seem like an in-universe secret. While some characters, like Zul'jan, may not be up-to-date on their studies, highly-educated characters who have lived for hundreds of years like First Arcanist Thalyssra, Vereesa Windrunner, Lor'themar, and Queen Talanji (who notes that Zandalar is home to the oldest library in Azeroth) also seemed shocked and confused by the very concept of being related to one another.

What is really throwing players for a loop is how exactly the haranir fit into all this. When the haranir were first revealed, many players assumed based on their appearance that they were a "missing link" of sorts between troll and night elf evolution. Elder Hagar's vision, however, goes against that assumption, clearly stating and showing the haranir existing first before splintering off into two groups--one that lived underground and one that lived on the surface. These two groups then, over time, are shown to have evolved to become night elves and trolls respectively. She goes as far to call elves, trolls, and haranir "one people."

This does make sense, but also seems to contradict previously established lore of elves descending from trolls. Instead, both races appear to have evolved from two different groups of haranir. It also doesn't address the question of the dark trolls. Are the haranir actually dark trolls by a different name? Did the haranir evolve from dark trolls, or are dark trolls a step in between the evolution of haranir into night elves?

WoW content creators like Nobbel and Taliesin & Evitel have attempted to unravel the genealogy mystery, but so far Blizzard isn't giving curious fans a definitive answer as to where the haranir or previously established lore of the dark trolls fit in.

Senior WoW quest designer Kieth Riley did, however, offer some additional context via X about Elder Hagar's vision. He stated the vision is from the haranir's point-of-view and one they believe to be true, but that it doesn't necessarily represent Blizzard's official stance on the matter.

"It is NOT 'Blizzard's presentation on the absolute truth of haranir/elf/troll genealogy' (though I'm sure some of you would enjoy a BlizzCon panel titled as such)," Riley said. 

Riley said while the visions "don't lie," they also may be missing some information or be inaccurate.

"There's no incontrovertible proof either way so it's up to debate," Riley said.

For now, the actual truth of troll, elf, and haranir ancestry will remain up for debate until Blizzard clarifies for all the lorehounds out there. WoW: Midnight's next patch, 12.1, may offen more clues but doesn't not have a release date just yet. It's expected to arrive in mid-August and will introduce a new troll-focused zone and raid to the MMORPG.

News - PlayStation Plus Extra/Premium Games For July 2026 Revealed

Sony has revealed the latest games coming to the Game Catalog for PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium subscribers in July. Like last month, the release schedule for these games has now changed for US, UK, and Japanese subscribers, with an initial batch starting July 21 and the rest arriving in later waves. Here's a closer look at everything on the way:

PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium Games for July 2026

• Rise of the Ronin (PS5) -- July 15




• Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora (PS5) -- July 21




• Firefighting Simulator: Ignite (PS5) -- July 21




• Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Rita's Rewind (PS5, PS4) -- July 21




• Dying Light (PS4) -- July 21




• Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector (PS5) -- July 28




• Snow Bros. Wonderland (PS5) -- July 28

PlayStation Plus Premium PS Classics

• Psi-Ops: The Mindgate Conspiracy (PS5, PS4) -- July 28




• Indigo Prophecy (PS5, PS4) -- July 28

Available right now, Rise of the Ronin is another fun souls-like from Team Ninja. It's not as punishing as the other games that the studio has produced in this genre--like Nioh--and players will get to shape the future of Japan in this open-world adventure.

Kicking things off on July 21 is Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora. A tie-in to the recent Avatar sequel movies, Ubisoft's trip to Pandora does a great job at capturing the alien world in all its natural glory, and as a human-raised Na'vi, players have all the skills they need to reclaim the planet from the destructive RDA.

Firefighting Simulator: Ignite hits the Game Catalog on July 21 as well, and it puts you in the fireproof boots of a firefighter. The game supports co-op for up to four players, and it features some impressive graphics thanks to the use of Unreal Engine 5. If you feel like a trip to Angel Grove, you can join the teenagers--with attitude!--in Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Rita's Rewind on July 28. A retro-inspired 2D brawler, the game features the classic roster of Power Rangers as they face off against their nemeses Rita Repulsa and her older form, Robo Rita. That same day, you can also grab the very first Dying Light game from Techland. Still spooky--especially at night--players will have to use crafting skills and parkour to survive in a city overrun with zombies.

Starting July 28, you can grab Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector and Snow Bros. Wonderland. Citizen Sleeper 2 evolves the TTRPG-inspired gameplay of the first game, giving players challenging contracts to pursue and difficult choices to make as they navigate through a hostile galaxy. Snow Bros. Wonderland picks up where the very first Snow Bros. game left off 30 years ago, and it shifts the 2D action to a gorgeous 3D isometric plane.

Speaking of retro treats, PlayStation Plus Premium subscribers can grab two new games from the PS Classics vault. The first of these is Psi-Ops: The Mindgate Conspiracy, a 2004 action-adventure game where you get to unleash telekinesis, mind control, and pyrokinesis powers in deadly combat scenarios and challenging puzzle sections. Fans of the developer Quantic Dream can check out the studio's very first interactive drama, Indigo Prophecy. A paranormal thriller set in New York City, players will experience a story about supernatural murders and strange motives from multiple viewpoints.

Don't forget, all PS Plus members can claim three free games -- Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, For the King 2, and CrossCode.

News - Activision’s Latest Call Of Duty Announcement Is Upsetting And Bewildering

Activision has announced that the leaderboards and combat records for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (2022) and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 (2023) are being "permanently disabled" ahead of Modern Warfare 4's release in October.

Activision said it's doing this "as we optimize backend services" in the lead-up to MW4's launch. The announcement upset and bewildered fans.

Some are wondering how things like leaderboards and combat records for older games are related to providing services for new games. Other people replied to Activision's post with the "no correlation" SpongeBob Squarepants meme. Still others questioned why they would buy into a new game, in this case MW4, if one day their hard-earned statistics would vanish out of the blue.

People on Reddit said they were not surprised by this decision, as they reported that the in-game leaderboards and combat records for those games have been broken for years anyway.

Activision has not provided a detailed explanation as to why this is happening apart from the line about optimizing backend services ahead of MW4's release. GameSpot has contacted Activision in an attempt to get more information.t

Infinity Ward was involved in all three games, having led development on 2022's MW2 and having assisted Sledgehammer Games with 2023's MW3. For this year's Modern Warfare 4, Infinity Ward is the lead developer, but it's also getting help from Activision's network of studios, which is common for Call of Duty releases.

MW4 launches on October 23, which is about a month before GTA 6 launches on November 19.

News - GDQ Cancels SNK Stream Over Saudi Arabia Ties

Games Done Quick is best known for its feel-good moments like a dog hitting a walk-off home run in a baseball video game while raising money for charity. However, this year's Summer Games Done Quick charity stream ran into controversy after GDQ announced a sponsored stream with SNK only to cancel it shortly thereafter due to players angered over the latter's ties to Saudi Arabia.

On Sunday, July 12, SGDQ announced it was partnering with SNK to stream a sponsored speedrun of Metal Slug in support of the franchise's 30th anniversary.

Under three hours later, GDQ reversed course and announced the cancellation of the stream citing "concerns from our community regarding this partnership, specifically the company’s majority ownership by Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund, and the human rights concerns tied to the Saudi government."

In subsequent posts, GDQ apologized to the streaming host and speed runners and pledged that it wouldn't accept any future sponsorships from SNK. The organization also reiterated its support for human rights and inclusivity before promising to "review and strengthen our process for evaluating future sponsors and partners, including closer examination of companies' ownership, to make sure they're aligned with our values."

Saudi Arabia already has a deep footprint in the gaming realm, including the developer of Pokemon Go. However, the biggest Saudi deal is the still in-progress $55 billion buyout for control of EA, one of the biggest video game publishers in the world. Video game unions have come out against the EA sale, and Saudi Arabia's involvement has also drawn the scrutiny of the U.S. Senate over potential "foreign influence." Regardless, the EA buyout is likely to receive approval even though players continue to protest against it.
