The week-long celebration of Warhammer kicks off with a stream that’s guaranteed to feature new announcements from the studios behind games like Total War: Warhammer 3 and Darktide, to name but a few.

On Friday, Call of Duty: Warzone received a small balance patch that made a couple of tweaks to the weapon meta. As recently promised, the AMAX and FARA were among the weapons getting nerfed. Raven appears to be paying closer attention to balance this season, which is always good to see, but the developer has also taken the time to outline the reasoning behind each change. Starting with the CR-56 AMAX assault rifle, the patch dropped its minimum damage to 31 from 32....

We recently got to play a few hours of Watch Dogs Legion. Kirk was particularly impressed with the games seemingly infinite protagonists, as he spent a lot of his hands-on time scanning random people to build the perfect team of DedSec operatives. One other neat detail tucked away in near-future London was this callback to Assassin’s Creed. Not any game in particular, just the series’ trademark moment where the character approaches a high ledge, looks down and elegantly dives....

The Tweet also links to a blog post, though there’s not much in the way of extra information.

We’re beginning to see a much clearer picture of what awaits us when we finally reach level 60 (again) and can focus on that endlessly repeating endgame content will take up most of our playtime, as well as the systems that the WoW team have set up to replace the Azerite Power and Azerite Armour systems we’re losing from Battle for Azeroth. Both of those have been a matter of some contention over the last couple of years, so it’s fair to say players are hotly, and cautiously, anticipating what comes next....

This is for the year ending June 30, according to Axios. The reason Microsoft set such a high target is that it was encouraged by the prior fiscal year’s performance, where Game Pass subscriptions grew by 86%, which was above its 71% target. Microsoft has been pushing Xbox Game Pass heavily in recent months, with discounts, expanded availability, and through courting big and small developers to launch their games into the service....

Going further, when asked by Bloomberg’s Diana Bass on the call whether it would arrive in November, Hood said “yes” (via GamesRadar). To see this content please enable targeting cookies....

That date goes for Mac, PC, PS4, Xbox One, and Switch. It’s also a bit amusing the game is due out in November because it was also meant to release last November before it was delayed.

Veteran gamers complained that “it wasn’t like this in their day,” that the halcyon days of picking a game cart off the shelf and plugging and playing were long dead. Your average gamer was beginning to complain about unfinished products being hawked for top-end prices, and patience was starting to wear thin. I have zero patience for the “lazy developer” criticism that’s flung around so casually in this industry (in 10-plus years of doing this job, I have never once met a “lazy developer” – the people on the ground floor care a lot), yet it was development staff that began to take flak for publishing-level decisions....

The first game was a sleeper success, launching in a quiet January in 2015 where more people were inclined to take a chance on its sometimes unrefined – but ultimately compelling – open-world leaping, ragdoll zombie-squishing formula. But where the original was spritely and free, skipping right to the forefront gaming’s big franchises while major publishers were looking the other way, Dying Light 2: Stay Human was being asked to repeat the feat while balancing buckets of water over its shoulders, riding a unicycle, and in front of a live studio audience....
