<strong>Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare Zombies will get a big reveal next week, that according to a new teaser drop by developers Infinity Ward on Twitter.</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Posting a gif of a film reel case with a timer on it, it looks likely that the big reveal will occur on Tuesday, August 16.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It also came with a caption, reading: “It’s almost time for the big premiere! Grab the popcorn and get ready to scream.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It puts it bang on target for Gamescom in Cologne and will also mean it’ll be going head-to-head with all the other huge FPS titles launching later in 2016.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Both Battlefield 1 and Titanfall 2 have events planned for the same day, meaning fans might have to choose between which broadcast or trailer to watch.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A new Destiny: Rise of Iron reveal is also set for around that time, and underscores a busy Autumn period, starting with the September release from Bungie.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The first teaser dropped by Infinity Ward in regards to the new zombies mode made a reference to “19-ATVI--85," almost certainly clue at what era and style it will include.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong>It follows the recent release of the Descent Black Ops 3 DLC for Xbox One and PC.</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Decent includes four new multiplayer maps and the latest Black Ops 3 Zombies chapter, Gorod Krovi, which takes players to an alternate-timeline of Stalingrad in which they must face-off against a swarm of mechanised zombie soldiers and avoid hell-fire from aerial dragon assaults.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The new Descent multiplayer maps are listed as follows:</div>
<ul><div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<li><div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong>Empire</strong>: Fan favourite map Raid returns, re-imagined in this classic, medium-sized map as an authentic Roman villa, where a classic map structure mixes with the new gameplay mechanics of Black Ops III.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
</li>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<li><div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong>Berserk:</strong> A Viking village frozen in time enlists players to fight through blizzards, for control of the centre bridge. This medium-sized map features wooden buildings, deadly rocky outcroppings and tight chokepoints.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
</li>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<li><div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong>Cryogen</strong>: Located far in the Dead Sea, this isolated compound holds some of the world’s most dangerous criminals in frozen isolation.  Sentry towers keep watch over the small map’s circular design as frenetic combat and wall running attacks abound.   </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
</li>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<li><div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong>Rumble:</strong> Gamers battle amongst larger-than-life mechanised warriors in this medium-sized map, which funnels high-speed combat to the central arena, where players battle their way through fallen mechs and pyrotechnics. </div>
</li>
</ul>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
It appears EA may have some big changes in mind for <a href="http://newsnewsblog.blogspot.com/2016/01/star-wars-battlefront-major-update.html" target="_blank">Star Wars Battlefront</a> in the future.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There are already plans afoot to make more content available in single-player mode and a new DLC is set to be announced by developers DICE very soon.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
However, when it comes to the future of the series and what fans on Xbox One, PS4 and PC, they may find their feedback has had a much bigger impact.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
EA have reportedly launched a major feedback drive for the game, with a new survey allegedly released asking fans key questions about the series on a range of topics.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
 </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
 </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The questionnaire appears to focus mainly on future titles, although it is unclear just what kind of impact the feedback would have on the upcoming DLC offerings set for release in 2016.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The survey reportedly covers a lot of different subjects, asking fans about their expectations for the Season Pass, the inclusion and importance of combat types, such as ground-to-space vehicle combat, as well as what Force Awakens content they were looking for.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Other ideas touched upon in the survey included hero crossovers, alluding to the idea of Anakin Skywalker facing off against Han Solo, along with the importance of including material from the Clone Wars.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Call of Duty: <a href="http://newsnewsblog.blogspot.com/2016/01/xbox-one-news-gta-5-dlc-update-reveal.html" target="_blank">Black Ops 3</a> continued its strong showing into 2016, spending the first week of the new year at No.1 in the UK sales chart.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
 </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Chart-Track reports that the titles that dominated early 2016 were pretty much the same as those during the holidays, due mainly to the fact there have been no new major releases since.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Games did shuffle in the list though, with the likes of FIFA 16 clawing its way back up to claim the no.2 spot, while some old titles made a big comeback.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Having been heavily reduced during the holidays, Battlefield 4 returned to the top ten, just behind Assassin’s Creed: Syndicate and Just Cause 3.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The top ten can be found below, although it doesn’t include any digital sales data.</div>

<a href="http://newsnewsblog.blogspot.com/2016/01/destiny-bungie-reveal-update-on.html" target="_blank">Destiny: Taken King</a> fans have been hit by a series of issues this week, affecting both the Weekly Nightfall Strike and collecting the new emblems earned by logging in between January 7 and January 10.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Fans found themselves barred from continuing the Sunless Cell earlier this week due to a door not opening ahead of the Darkblade boss showdown.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It was a big quest-breaking bug which has finally been fixed by Bungie.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The studio has also confirmed that the bug stopping those users who had earned the new Rising Sun emblem - from playing the game on the correct date - should also have been given their reward.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“We have resolved issues impacting distribution of the "Rising Light" New Year's Gift Emblem,” am official Bungie support message reads.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Qualifying players may need to re-launch the Destiny Application in order to acquire the Emblem.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There have been other problems plaguing the game of late, with the PvP Crucible hit by never-leaving corpses, health bars appearing not to deplete and epic lag that has allowed players to kill from beyond the grave.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
These issues have apparently been solved, with Bungie adding: “A fix has been deployed to resolve some recent issues impacting Crucible gameplay.”</div>

Rockstar will continue to support GTA 5's online multiplayer mode with new content in 2016, this time round focusing on the recently added Lowrider DLC.<br />
New reports this week claim that the highly-anticipated next wave of vehicles that can be fully customised will be released on February 9.<br />
It will be followed by another content drop in connection with Valentine's Day on February 14, including an weekend event and a special Adversary mode.<br />
There will also be two new weapons added in the <a href="http://newsnewsblog.blogspot.com/2016/01/gta-5-update-rockstar-find-best-liberty.html" target="_blank">GTA 5 update</a>, the Double Barrel Shotgun and the Compact Rifle.<br />
The release of Benny's Original Motor Works has led to some high-spec vehicles appearing in Los Santos, although the high price point has also left many unable to do much in terms of customisation.<br />
The most recent GTA 5 DLC release included Executives and Other Criminals, adding Superyachts and more exotic armoured vehicles to buy, along with a VIP mode that allows for some serious gang carnage.<br />
For those wanting to see just how this DLC has been received by fans, <a href="http://www.rockstargames.com/newswire/article/52555/fan-videos-executives-and-other-criminals-film-festival" target="_blank">Rockstar</a> recently released their top video choices of those who have explored the new content fully.</div>

Treyarch Studio Design Director David Vonderhaar has revealed some of the future plans for Call of Duty: <a href="http://newsnewsblog.blogspot.com/2016/01/black-ops-3-vonderhaar-talks-double-xp.html" target="_blank">Black Ops 3 </a>and answered some top fans concerns related to the title released on Xbox One, Xbox 360, PS4, PS3 and PC.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Asked if the studio had any intentions of limiting the amount of times in a row that a map could be chosen, Vonderhaar replied on Twitter: "Yes. The work to fix this (apparently) needs a game update and can't be done in hotfix. It's in my top 5 list."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Another fan tweeted if there will be an update soon on whether or not emblems and paintjobs would be made downloadable, the game director had some bad news, adding: "It's not looking good, but we haven't given up complete hope just yet."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Vonderhaar also revealed that a new hotfix has gone live for Black Ops 3, making a number of changes to the game including adjustments to Scorestreaks.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
 "Here we go again. 43*.29.5," he wrote.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"Control bugs with Scorestreaks. Exploits patched. And a fix for teammates grieving your Scorestreaks in HC."</div>

Microsoft have teased their plans for 2016, including a new range of <a href="http://newsnewsblog.blogspot.com/2016/01/microsoft-update-on-new-xbox-one.html" target="_blank">Xbox One Backward Compatibility</a> titles being released.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Xbox team’s latest statement regarding Backward Compatibility should remove any lingering fears among fans that the new update was being used as a gimmick to win back lapsed Xbox 360 owners.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Today Mike Nichols, Corporate Vice President Of Marketing For Xbox, outlined some of Microsoft goals for their next-gen console in 2016 and confirmed that hundreds of old games will be rendered workable on the Xbox One.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Since Xbox One Backward Compatibility released on November 12 with more than 100 playable titles, global Xbox gamers have logged more than 15 million hours playing Xbox 360 games on Xbox One.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“As we close a record 2015 for Xbox, there is even more in store for gamers in 2016. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“With great new games, hundreds of additional titles coming to Xbox One Backward Compatibility, a wave of investments in Xbox and gaming on Windows 10, new Xbox Live updates and features for the console including Cortana on Xbox One, 2016 is shaping up to be an even bigger year for gamers."</div>

In fact, Cloud Imperium Games are so confident that Star Citizen will be a resounding success that creator Chris Roberts believes the game's FPS mode will be 'more lethal' than Call of Duty.</div>

'Star Marine' will allow players to incorporate stealth into their tactics, giving the FPS mode more depth and ultimately an advantage over the latest Call of Duty title 'Black Ops 3'.</div>

When asked for an update, Guillaume replied: “Sorry but I can only say that we’re going to announce what the DLC is about soon.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“It has to go through a “proper” announcement.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Offline multiplayer has technical difficulties that the single player guys are definitely looking at. I can’t give any dates for that but we’re very aware of the huge request for this.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It is currently unclear what the next Star Wars: Battlefront DLC will focus on, although EA have confirmed that it will not feature anything from Star Wars: The Force Awakens.</div>

<strong>SPOILERS</strong>: Ever wondered what it would be like to watch Fallout 4’s Liberty Prime battle Deathclaws?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Well how about 1,000 of the mutated monsters versus ten of the overpowered mechs? Two of humankind's most effective killing machines can now be seen battling in a new fantasy scenario put together by one intrepid <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?list=PLIrhb9MJyYSxzbrDXb2UvkUf-lG6FoqQa&v=T6XeHM2icKI" target="_blank">YouTuber</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Just the sight of all those waiting Deathclaws should get you ready to run, although ten Liberty Primes sound like quite enough to handle the situation.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Bethesda confirmed earlier in 2015 that they hoped to deliver Fallout 4’s Creation Kit and DLC content in early 2016, with many hoping to get their hands on the modding gear as soon as possible.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Both Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas had impressive fan-created mods released following their launch on PC, improving on everything from visuals, weather and quests.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Developers Treyarch have already revealed that they will mixing things up with the Awakening expansion, Der Eisendrache, which will include story revelations and more importantly, a new range of Mega Gumballs.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Zombies' GobbleGums offer players consumable bonuses and abilities, which can be acquired through Dr. Monty’s GobbleGum Machines found in each map.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Defeating waves of zombies earns you points that allows you to randomly draw one of five default GobbleGums, each offering their own unique benefits for a limited time after they’re activated.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Mega GobbleGums differ from the classic set and offer more rare and powerful bonuses which can only be unlocked by using Vials of Liquid Divinium in Dr. Monty’s Factory.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong>A list of Activision examples includes:</strong></div>
<ul>
<li><div style="text-align: justify;">
Pop Shocks - Melee attacks trigger an electrostatic discharge, electrocuting nearby zombies. Auto-activates when meleeing attacking zombies, comes with five activations.</div>
</li>
<li><div style="text-align: justify;">
Kill Joy - Spawns an Instakill power up. Player activated, comes with two activations.</div>
</li>
<li><div style="text-align: justify;">
Killing Time - All zombies freeze in place for 20 seconds. If they are shot, they will be annihilated when the time is up. Player activated, comes with one activation. </div>

<strong>UPDATE FOUR</strong>: Activision have provided a new update on the server issues affecting Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 gamers.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"We’re still hard at work looking at the intermittent server issues," a message from the company's support team was posted to Twitter earlier today.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The official server status site now lists all platforms as green but also warns that some PS4 players around the globe may still be facing issues.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"All services are online, however, users in some regions are reporting intermittent connectivity issues," the Activision status page confirms.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"We are monitoring the situation closely."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Activision have also supplied a fix for players who are still unable to claim their pre-order bonus maps of Nuk3town and The Giant.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The problem has been listed as solved by Microsoft but a new work around has been posted just in case.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It includes: Navigating to settings, selecting system, choosing Console Info & Updates and clicking on update now.</div>

<strong>UPDATE ONE:</strong> Activision have announced the release date for Call of Duty: Black Ops 3's first DLC - Awakening on PS4.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It will now be the turn of Xbox One fans to wait around a month to receive the new content, something that PlayStation users have had to endure in the past.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The latest chapter in the Zombies sage, Iron Dragon, is set in a medieval Austrian castle during World War II and is a core part of the Awakening release, which launched on February 2, 2016, for PS4.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
 “Since Black Ops III launched last month, the response from our community has been incredible in every way,” said Mark Lamia, Studio Head, Treyarch.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“With Awakening, the studio is focused on creating a wide variety of gameplay experiences for our fans in Multiplayer and Zombies that will keep players coming back for more.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
New details on Der Eisendrache, the new Call of Duty: Black Ops III Zombies DLC adventure have been released, revealing it will include Origin characters Richtofen, Nicolai, Takeo and Dempsey.  </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"Set in an eerie medieval castle built upon an ancient site of unspeakable horror, massive deposits of Element 115 have recently been discovered, delivering inspired new gameplay and – in Zombies tradition – a variety of exciting plot twists and surprises that fans will have the opportunity to discover for themselves," an Activision statement explains.</div>

The first of four planned DLC map packs, Awakening is set to arrives first PS4 and will include four new multiplayer maps—Skyjacked, Rise, Splash, and Gauntlet, as well as the next chapter in the <a href="http://newsnewsblog.blogspot.com/2015/12/black-ops-3-surprise-hotfix-makes-black.html" target="_blank">Black Ops 3 Zombies</a> saga, Der Eisendrache.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Iron Dragon map will be set around the Hohenwerfen Castle in Austria and will be launched first on the PlayStation 4, due to Sony's existing DLC content deal with Activision.</div>

During the recent <a href="https://community.treyarch.com/community/treyarch/blog/2015/12/08/playstation-experience-dlc-and-ai" target="_blank">PlayStation Experience</a>, the Treyarch team revealed some of the behind-the-scenes changes need to make Black Ops 3 Zombies work with the rest of the game in mind.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"Previously, different versions of AI Architectures existed within the engine for different gamemodes to suit the individual needs of that mode. Take the Zombies Archetype for example, which was designed such that it will work in a networked environment specifically for cooperative Zombies experience.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"Going forward, we needed an AI Architecture which will be agnostic to the game modes so that a given Archetype can be used anywhere design needs. This means we had to overhaul multiple aspects of AI Architecture.</div>
