But while both consoles aren’t scheduled to be released until holiday 2020, developers are already prepping for the next big technological leap.
Unlike previous console generations, there’s been an unprecedented number of technological reveals for the upcoming generation in games. Developers have spoken openly about technical advancements like ray tracing, 8K resolution, and much more.
The Last of Us Part 2 Release Date Delayed
Despite announcing The Last of Us Part 2’s 2020 release date just a few weeks ago, PlayStation and Naughty Dog have confirmed a delay for the highly anticipated sequel.
The Last of Us Part 2 has been delayed to May 29, 2020, Naughty Dog’s Neil Druckmann, who also serves as creative director on Part 2, confirmed in a PlayStation blog post.
“Let me cut to the chase and get the news out of the way. The Last of Us Part II has a new release date of May 29, 2020,” Druckmann wrote. “I know. It was just about a month ago when we had our big blowout for the game, letting media play over two hours of it along with debuting our new story trailer and revealing the release date. The positive response we saw from our community was overwhelming. You can feel the energy among the team members. After working on something for so many years, it’s invigorating to get a glimpse of validation for all the hard work.”

Ford v Ferrari is easily one of the more eagerly anticipated films of the fall season. To help tide you over until its November 15 release, we have an exclusive clip of Ford v Ferrari, featuring stars Christian Bale and Matt Damon as racing legends Ken Miles and Carroll Shelby, respectively.
This clip captures the core conflict of the film, which dramatizes events surrounding the 1966 Le Mans race and Ford’s aggressive campaign to build a car capable of beating the dominant Ferrari racing team.

Borderlands 3’s Bank Is Expanding, Other Future Updates Revealed
GameSpot may get a commission from retail offers.
Gearbox is set to release a new patch for Borderlands 3 today, October 24. The update addresses bug fixes, stability improvements, and general adjustments, but the studio has also outlined its roadmap for the coming weeks in terms of what we can expect from future hotfixes and patches for the looter shooter.
Gearbox says game performance and stability continues to be its top priority. An upcoming November patch promises to introduce various improvements games-wide, with the studio saying, “performance and stability will continue to be an ongoing effort with more fixes rolled out with each upcoming patch.”
One of the most requested features by the community is an expansion to Borderlands 3’s bank. As a result, Gearbox has begun laying the groundwork for expanding the bank. The upcoming release of Takedown at Maliwan’s Blacksite will introduce a significant expansion to the bank that will more than double the existing space for storing your items.
Bosses will also be getting dedicated loot pools to ensure that more specific gear drops from defeated bosses. Once this happens as an expected part of the November update, you’ll be able to go to a specific boss and get the specific gear you’re looking for, saving a lot of time and hassle.
Gearbox says it will be introducing some character buffs as well, since Moze’s Iron Bear, FL4K’s pets, and Zane’s Digi-Clone/SNTL aren’t performing as well as expected when Mayhem Mode is activated in the late stages of the game. The developer is looking at ways to adjust damage according to the relevant skills and gear, to make sure Borderlands 3 has as many viable character builds as possible.
Speaking of Mayhem Mode, Gearbox is also planning a significant revamp that will introduce a host of improvements to the way it works. The first update will, once again, be released as part of Takedown at Maliwan’s Blacksite, and will include the first new Mayhem Mode level, Mayhem 4. The new level promises to offer a significant challenge, with tougher enemies and better rewards that revolve around new Legendary gear. Beyond this, Gearbox will eventually overhaul Mayhem Mode with Mayhem 2.0, adding more UI support, playlists, additional levels, new rewards, and new Mayhem Modifiers that will dramatically change the gameplay.
Lastly, there will be new vending machines cropping up throughout Borderlands 3’s planet-hopping adventure. Gearbox is also hard at work trying to find a solution that will let you skip cutscenes, and it’s introducing a target dummy so you can easily test your gear on Sanctuary.
As for today’s patch, the latest update fixes numerous bugs afflicting Borderlands 3 by addressing various crashes, removing a reported bug in the Space-Laser Tag mission that prevented some players from progressing to the next objective, and altering the Flakker weapon so it now consumes one ammo instead of five, among a host of other changes detailed in the full patch notes.
There’s also a free Bloody Harvest Halloween event kicking off today, introducing spooky new cosmetics like skins and weapon elements, the new Bloody Harvest boss, and a new Legendary weapon. GameSpot has all of the details on how you can access the Halloween-themed event and when it comes to an end.

Fortnite Dance Locations: Where To Dance For Forged In Slurp Challenge
GameSpot may get a commission from retail offers.
Chapter 2 of Fortnite has begun its third week of Battle Pass challenges. The newest mission set is titled Forged in Slurp and centres around Rippley, the adorable Slurp creature introduced at the beginning of the season. One of the latest challenges tasks you to dance at Compact Cars, Lockie’s Lighthouse, and Weather Station. If you’re not sure where these landmarks are found on the brand new map, we break down how to easily complete the challenge below.
Where Are Compact Cars, Lockie’s Lighthouse, and Weather Station?
The three locations you need to dance in are spread out across the map with one in the north, south, and near the centre. They’re not too hard to find, though, especially if you know where to look.
Compact Cars is found near the centre of the map. It’s a small scrapyard that’s located on the east side of the river between Frenzy Farm and Dirty Docks. You’ll find it on Fortnite’s map grid in the G4 square.
Lockie’s Lighthouse is difficult to miss when you’re in the northwest of the map. The tall red and white lighthouse is located on an island at the very top of the map near Pleasant Park. Fortnite’s map grid places it in the C1 square.
Lastly, the Weather Station lives at the top of the snowy mountains in the southeast. The building and its accompanying satellites are located to the east of Misty Meadows and south of Retail Row, at the southwest end of the frosty peaks. You’ll find it in the G7 square of Fortnite’s map grid.
How To Complete The Challenge?
This one is fairly easy to complete; all you need to do is head to each of the three locations and activate one of your dance emotes. You can do this in separate games or attempt to nail them all in one, but this is easier said than done considering how spread out they are. Completing this challenge will net you 14,000 season XP and unlock another Forged in Slurp challenge.
Chapter 2, Season 1 runs until December 12, according to the official Fortnite website. You can see the full list of Chapter 2 challenges here, along with our guides on how to complete the trickiest ones. For more, be sure to check out our other Fortnite Chapter 2 coverage below.
The Best Entrance In All Of WWE May Belong To NXT’s Breezango
In wrestling, there is something for everybody, no matter your tastes. There are exceptionally serious moments of high drama between two angry competitors, then there’s moments like the one tag team Breezango created on the October 23 episode of WWE’s NXT: pure, hilarious entertainment.
The team made up of Tyler Breeze and Fandango have been changing things up the past few weeks on NXT. They were once the Fashion Police–which led to a Twin Peaks parody that garnered a lot of attention, followed by a Stranger Things parody–and as of this week, they were fighter pilots, which you can see in the video below.
Two ramp agents, holding the orange rods, direct the wrestlers in. Tyler Breeze walks in from the left, and Fandango–pretending to be an airplane–comes in from the right. It’s nearly impossible to look away, as this is one of the most entertaining entrances we’ve seen in WWE in years.
The week prior, Breezango entered the ring as construction workers, and who knows what they will do next week. The two aren’t just a comedy showcase though. Breeze and Fandango are extremely skilled in the ring and put on excellent matches as well.
The two WWE superstars have been working together for years as a tag team. In 2017, the team came to the GameSpot office to create-a-wrestler in WWE 2K18 to take on the one I made, and they lost, which you can watch up top. And if they ever return, I will have yet another create-a-wrestler destroy them.
Speaking of WWE 2K, this week marked the release of WWE 2K20, and the Twitter’s first impressions of the game are rough, as it is filled with lots of bugs, which are sometimes hilarious.
You can check out to see what Breezango enters as next on NXT which airs on Wednesday nights on USA.
