Rumor Claims Free-to-Play Call of Duty Zombies Game Could Be Releasing Next Year

Multiple rumors have surfaced regarding the Call of Duty franchise recently, as leakers have speculated that the series may make many interesting changes in the future. The latest Call of Duty rumor relates to the possibility of a new standalone experience of one of the series' most beloved modes.

According to Bloomberg's Jason Schreier, and leaker Tom Henderson, there will allegedly be no new mainline Call of Duty game arriving in 2023. Some have speculated that this is the result of Microsoft's Activision Blizzard acquisition, as Call of Duty: Vanguard did not do as well as the company expected it to. Microsoft may have encouraged the alleged delay as a means to get the series back on track, however, it seems as though a different kind of Call of Duty could come about in 2023.

Leakers Tom Henderson, RalphsValve, and CODMW2Informer have allegedly received insider information regarding the possibility of a surprising change for the franchise. This change is speculated to come in the form of a new free-to-play Call of Duty zombies standalone game, which is said to be developed by Treyarch and will supposedly release in 2023.

If these rumors turn out to be true, it could be a huge step in the right direction for the franchise. Many fans were unhappy with the zombies mode in Call of Duty: Vanguard, as they instead asked for updates for the previous game in the series, Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War. A standalone game would allow the developer to focus entirely on the zombies experience and tweak it to fans liking accordingly.

Earlier this month, Tom Henderson was able to accurately leak that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 would be releasing later this year alongside Call of Duty: Warzone 2. The leak was confirmed to be true only a day later when Activision officially announced the very same information. This shows that the possibility of gamers receiving a standalone Call of Duty zombies game is not entirely out of the realm of possibility, especially when one considers that more than one leaker shared the information.

Another leaker also came out in the last week claiming to have details regarding the multiplayer mode of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. The details the leaker provided related to the maps, killstreaks, and UI that are said to make an appearance in the upcoming game. As with most leaks, unfortunately, only time will tell whether any of this information proves to be true.

Genshin Impact: Best Nahida Build Guide

The best build for Nahida in Genshin Impact is quite complicated as players need to balance her stat out. So far, Archons in Genshin Impact have not been disappointing. Venti is still a top-tier crowd controller, Zhongli is the best shielder in Genshin Impact , and Raiden Shogun is a tremendously powerful Sub-DPS and battery. Sadly, while many expect Nahida to take a whole new role, she, like Raiden, is also a Sub-DPS. For the Dendro Archon to become a powerful Sub-DPS, players must be familiar with Nahida’s best build in Genshin Impact . The best build for Nahida in Genshin Impact highly relies on her team composition and how good players’ artifacts are. To put it simply, Nahida has an obvious diminishing return, so Travelers must consider all sorts of stat buffs from Nahida’s team before determining her best build . This is because Nahida’s fourth-ascension passive (A4) allows her to buff her Skill DMG based on her Elemental Mastery (EM)...

Pokémon Dev Job Listing References R&D For Next-Generation Hardware

It seems the Pokémon developer Creatures could already looking toward the future of the long-running series. A new job listing at the Japanese company for a 3DCG modeler references "research and development for other next-generation hardware". The same application also mentions the use of Unity and Unreal Engine for project development. Creatures Inc. is one of the major Pokémon developers alongside Game Freak and Nintendo. It previously helped out with Pokémon Sword and Shield and Pokémon: Let’s Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee! on 3DCG modelling. It also worked on Detective Pikachu and is currently developing a sequel. In September, a senior programmer job profile at Creatures referenced work on "one unannounced project" and Detective Pikachu 2 which is apparently "nearing release".

Warzone 2.0 Is Ditching 2v2 Gulags For Boring 1v1 Showdowns

First came the much-requested changes to loadout drops , now Warzone 2.0 is messing with the gulag. With season two’s arrival on February 15, the gulag will no longer make players team up in pairs of two after suffering defeat on the battle royale map. Instead, as in the original Warzone , it will now focus on 1v1 skirmishes. Unlike in other battle royales, Call of Duty ’s Warzone allows players a chance to jump back into the action after dying. If you’re killed by another player early enough in the game, you’ll get sent to the gulag (there had to have been a better name for that). Here, you’ll square off in a quick deathmatch mode to earn your place back on the main map. Warzone 2.0 ’s gulag has two teams of two face off, with both members of the winning team rejoining the game. Around halfway through the gulag match, a high-damage-output, bullet-spongey NPC called “the Jailer” will emerge. If the Jailer is defeated, bot...

Gran Turismo 7’s Next Update is Coming This Week, With Four New Cars

Gran Turismo series founder Kazunori Yamauchi has taken to Twitter to announce and tease the next update to Gran Turismo 7 , which will arrive on consoles this coming week. It’s coming a little sooner than anticipated, landing around three weeks after the previous content update on September 29. That’s the shortest interval between content updates yet, with most coming four or five weeks apart — and, with the exception of 1.15 and 1.17, on the last Thursday of each month. Another unusual facet is that the update, which we’re temporarily dubbing 1.25, will bring four new cars instead of the three we’ve seen teased for every update thus far: This set of cars looks relatively easy to identify, although with some qualifiers. Probably the most straightforward is the one in the bottom-left, which looks to be a 1973 Nissan Skyline GT-R. Often dubbed “Kenmeri”, due to a promotional campaign featuring a couple named Ken and Mary, Nissan only produced 19...
