Call of Duty Dev Says There Will Be No Loot Boxes in Modern Warfare
Infinity Ward’s art director has made clear that the development team has no current plans to include a loot box or “Supply Drop” system.
Joel Emslie took to Reddit to clarify matters after a YouTuber and leaker claimed that Modern Warfare would include a micro-transaction system where some weapons would be hidden behind a paywall. This news came just weeks after the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare beta appeared to have references to loot boxes. This angered some fans, since the Call of Duty games that have included loot boxes in the past did so only on a cosmetic basis.
Top New Game Releases On Switch, PS4, Xbox One, And PC This Week — October 13-19, 2019

Meanwhile, PS4, Xbox One, and PC gamers can get their hands on Plants vs. Zombies: Battle For Neighborville.
Overwatch: Legendary Edition — October 15

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt – Complete Edition — October 15
Available on: Switch
This version of The Witcher 3 includes Geralt’s 2015 adventure plus all previously released DLC and two full expansions: Hearts of Stone and Blood & Wine. Altogether, that’s potentially hundreds of hours of RPG questing and monster-slaying to dig into. Not bad for a port that came together in just 12 months.
More Coverage:
Little Town Hero — October 16
Available on: Switch
Little Town Hero comes from Game Freak, best known for the Pokemon series. This RPG is set in a single town that the citizens never leave…until monsters start showing up. Little Town Hero’s combat doesn’t rely on grinding–it’s all about strategizing at whatever power level you’ve currently reached. Also the soundtrack is composed by Undertale creator Toby Fox, so that’s pretty rad.
More Coverage:
Ring Fit Adventure — October 18
Available on: Switch
Ring Fit Adventure is a follow-up to Wii Fit, but with more ways to actually get you up and moving. Ring Fit includes an adventure mode, custom workout playlists, and minigames, all of which are played using the new Ring-Con peripheral and leg strap. Prepare for some serious sweat.

October has more remasters to come, including MediEvil next week. The next episode of New Releases will take a look at that re-release, plus some hotly anticipated new titles like Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and The Outer Worlds.
The Walking Dead: Season 10, Episode 2 Review
Warning: This review contains full spoilers for The Walking Dead Season 10, episode 2, “We Are the End of the World.”
It may have been too early in Season 10 to shift gears completely, following the ghoulish exploits of the Whisperers on the other side of the border, but then again, I don’t know when a good time would be to spend this much time with their lot. Because if you thought Walking Dead’s story dragged when we peeked behind the Saviors’ curtain and into the inner-workings of Sanctuary, then The Whisperers are here to show you things can get even sludgier.
It’s not that watching the meet-cute between Alpha and Beta isn’t totally devoid of importance, especially since “We Are the End of the World” focused on a new rift possibly forming between them over Alpha’s undeniable sadness after losing Lydia, but a story like this can’t help but remind us that, well… there are other people on the show we’d much rather share a flashback with.
One-Punch Man Season 2 Premiere Review
This is a (mostly) spoiler-free review of the Season 2 premiere of One-Punch Man, which premiered in April on Hulu and just debuted on Toonami. You can also stream OPM via Viz Media.
After nearly four agonizing years, One-Punch Man is finally back with an exciting new adventure set in a world filled with demonic robots, terrifying monsters, and some bad-ass action scenes to boot. The exhilarating Season 2 premiere – “Return of the Hero” – gives Saitama and Genos some time apart. And while it’s sad to see the dynamic duo not sharing a lot of screen time, their individual quests are equally captivating.
Murder Mystery 2 is a Go at Netflix
Given that (according to Netflix) 31 million people watched Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston in Murder Mystery during the first 72 hours of its release, making it one of the streaming site’s biggest weekend debuts ever, it’s not surprising that a sequel is currently in development.
To compare, the Sandra Bullock-led Bird Box had over (according to Netflix) 45 million accounts watch it in seven days globally.
So yes, as THR reports, Murder Mystery 2 is in the works and that James Vanderbilt (Zodiac, White House Down) is in negotiations to return as well.
Batwoman: Season 1, Episode 2 Review
Warning: this review contains full spoilers for Batwoman: Season 1, Episode 2. If you need a refresher on where we left off, here’s our review for the series premiere. For more on the new CW series, find out why Batwoman is introducing an iconic Batman villain.
A quick note to start things off this week – We’re still in the process of figuring out whether we’re going to do weekly reviews for Batwoman this season or if we’ll stick to the Supergirl/Legends of Tomorrow approach and just review the premiere, finale and, crossover episodes. It all depends how much IGN reader interest there is, so please let us know in the comments or on social media if you want to see us keep covering the series every week. You can also vote in the poll below and let us know if you plan to keep watching Batwoman based on these first two episodes.

Watch True Fiction Episode 4: The World War That Created Lord Of The Rings
For the fourth episode of True Fiction, we’re delving into the creation of one of the most beloved fantasy universes of all time: Middle-earth. For many, reading the Hobbit or watching Lord of the Rings was their first entry into a fantasy world of Elves and Orcs, Dwarves and Ents, but not everyone knows the origins of it all are in a tragic real-world event.
J. R. R. Tolkien hasn’t overtly confirmed that Lord of the Rings is an allegory for the first world war, but the parallels are obvious. Not to mention, Tolkien’s own personal experiences very obviously have manifested in different ways within Middle-earth. We dig into all of this, and more, in the episode which you can watch below.
You can check out True Fiction on the GameSpot Universe YouTube channel, where new episodes will be released every Sunday. In previous episodes we explored the real-life inspirations between Twin Peaks, Godzilla, and Nightmare on Elm Street.
