GAMING news this week includes a new Pokemon Go teaser, Star Wars Battlefront's healthy outlook and Black Ops 3's terrifying new secret.
A new Pokemon Company announcement has been teased in the Japanese press, which could reveal more on the Android and iPhone augmented reality title.
CoroCoro, a monthly Japanese comic magazine, is well known as the place where some of the first news comes from when it comes to anything Pokemon.
Its latest issues has been teased with a major announcement coming in its December pages.
Speculation has mounted that it could be in connection with Pokemon Z, and with two big titles set to be released potentially in 2016, it would make the perfect launchpad for next year.
Pokemon Z has yet to be announced by Nintendo but seems like the inevitable follow up to Pokemon X and Y, which were released two years ago.
More Pokemon Go news is expected but it's currently unknown to what schedule Nintendo, the Pokemon Company and developers Niantic are working to.
Fans will be able find out more on December 15.
It appears that Star Wars Battlefront will receive multiple sequels in the future via EA, who have a 10-year licensing deal with franchise owner Disney.
Speaking during the UBS Global Technology Conference, EA CFO Blake Jorgensen revealed that multiple Star Wars games are set to be launched in the future.
"It's a big effort for us, and I don't think there's a human being in the world who hasn't heard of the Star Wars movie coming. And so, [it's a] great opportunity," Jorgensen said
"We struck a licensing deal with Disney a few years back that's almost ten years in length. The game that comes out tomorrow, Star Wars Battlefront, is a traditional first-person style shooter game.
"Our goal is to make future Battlefront games as well as other style games around the Star Wars franchise, both on mobile as well as console and PC. It's a huge opportunity for us."
Star Wars Battlefront on Xbox One, PS4 and PC is set for release later this week in the UK.
A terrifying new Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 secret has been found that results in some strange fatalities.
A Weeping Angels-style Easter Egg has been found which leads to everyone being pummeled to death by Mannequins.
The Nuketown map plays host to the mayhem, which requires everyone to stop shooting each and instead turn their fire onto the stationary figures by blowing off their arms.
Scary thing is, when activated, the attacks come silently with the Mannequins only moving when you're not looking at them.
Prepare for a very slow end.
