Following Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon: Breakpoint’s “very disappointing” sales, Ubisoft has officially detailed some plans to bring the looter-shooter into a more stable form of play, confirming it has “a lot of work” to do.

Ubisoft said its vision for Ghost Recon Breakpoint is to provide players with “a gritty and authentic military experience.” To do this, the company is working on “a more radical and immersive version” of the looter-shooter that will allow you to “tailor your experience.” There’s nothing set in stone on this front, but Ubisoft said it will “keep [players] updated as we progress.”

The first order of business revolves around technical issues. Ubisoft is aware of the numerous bugs and glitches players have encountered since Ghost Recon Breakpoint launched on October 4 for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. And as such, the company is preparing to release two separate updates for the looter-shooter in November that will “[focus] on the most pressing issues.” These include fixing Drone deployment, changing the fire rate, addressing night vision googles blocking crosshairs, and patching the Mission Completion notification pop-up.

Though the company hasn’t provided any definitive release dates for the game’s post-launch content, Ubisoft is “dedicated to supporting Ghost Recon Breakpoint in the long term with plenty of post-launch content and special events to keep the world constantly growing and evolving.” This includes December’s Project Titan raid and the Terminator live event, which launches sometime following the raid.

Ubisoft is also making changes to Ghost Recon Breakpoint’s in-game economy, stating that adjustments are being made to ensure “the experience for players [is] more comfortable.” Ubisoft hasn’t specified what these changes are or when these changes will be implemented.

Elsewhere in the blog, Ubisoft has once again confirmed that AI teammates will make a return in Ghost Recon Breakpoint. With some of the other plans taking precedent, the company admitted that “adding back AI Teammates to the game is a major undertaking that will still require time.” No release date has been given for when AI teammates will appear.

Ghost Recon Breakpoint has received a fairly lukewarm reception since its launch earlier this month. Alongside a myriad of critics who scored the game lower on the scale, we gave the looter-shooter a 4/10, saying, “It’s essentially every Ubisoft open-world game rolled into one, failing to excel in any one area or establish its own identity. Breakpoint is a messy, confused game and a ghost of the series’ former self.”

In this week’s sale, Amazon is doing what it does best: copying another store’s offer and making it even better. There’s a huge buy two, get one free sale available right now at Target, and you can find the same offer at Amazon, albeit with different product options. Target’s B2G1 sale focuses mainly on books, movies, music, toys, and board games, while Amazon’s sale has way more to offer on the video game side of things. Both are worth checking out, depending on your interests, but the game deals, in particular, are worth browsing.

First off, we should note that Amazon’s offer page for this particular sale is misleading. The top of the page explains the limited-time offer as “buy 3 items, get 1 item free,” but what it means is that when you add three items to your cart, one of them will be free. In checkout, you’ll see the cost of the lowest-priced item subtracted from your overall order. So, for example, if you buy three $60 games, you’ll save $60 on the overall order, but if you buy two $60 games and one $40 game, you’ll save $40. With that in mind, choose your bundle wisely.

Amazon’s sale includes brand-new releases like The Outer Worlds and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, both of which are full-priced at $60. Madden NFL 20 is available as well and on sale for $45.68. Some of the best games released earlier this year are up for grabs too–don’t miss out on A Plague Tale: Innocence for $39.82, Resident Evil 2 for $35.55, and Devil May Cry 5 for $35.93. Catherine: Full Body, the enhanced PS4 port of the popular 2011 game, is on sale for $46, and the launch edition comes with a gorgeous steelbook case.

While this sale will likely run all week (based on Target’s schedule), these B2G1 sales have a way of selling out the best deals quickly, so don’t wait if you’ve been eyeing any of these games. You can check out the full offering of games in this sale at Amazon and see some of our picks from the sale below.

We’re in the final week of Pokemon Go‘s Halloween 2019 event, which means this is your last chance to catch a variety of special Pokemon. That includes the Mythical Pokemon Darkrai, which is scheduled to leave Raid Battles the day the event ends, on November 1.

Until then, you’ll still be able to encounter Darkrai in five-star Raids. This is the first time the Mythical Pokemon has appeared in Go, and there’s no telling when it’ll return to the game, so you don’t want to miss your chance to add one to your collection. Before you can catch Darkrai, however, you’ll need to team up with other players to battle it.

Before Darkrai leaves Raids, the Mythical Pokemon will star in another Legendary Raid Hour. This Wednesday, October 30, nearly every Gym in your area will host Darkrai Raids from 6-7 PM local time, making that your best opportunity to capture one. You can find tips for taking the Mythical Pokemon on in our Darkrai Raid guide.

Following Darkrai’s departure on November 1, the Legendary Regi trio will return to Raids until November 4, and this time around, you’ll have a chance to catch their Shiny forms. Regigigas will debut in EX Raids later in the month but if you don’t want to wait until then, Niantic is hosting a “Colossal Discovery” Special Research event featuring the Legendary on November 2. However, until most other Special Research quests, you need to buy a virtual ticket to participate in this event.

Shortly after the Regi trio leaves Raids again, Pokemon Go’s November Community Day will take place. The event falls on Saturday, November 16–the day after Pokemon Sword and Shield launch on Nintendo Switch–and features Chimchar, the Fire-type starter from Diamond and Pearl.

When Dragon Ball Z Kakarot was revealed, there was a certain amount of skepticism that it would tackle the entirety of Goku’s adult life. The sprawling martial arts anime epic clocks in at just shy of 300 episodes, and even after cutting out the filler, that’s a lot of story to adapt into a video game. But, sure enough, Kakarot tracks Goku’s adventures from the appearance of Radditz and the first utterance of the word “Saiyan” all the way through the final showdown with Majin Buu, letting players take control of not just Goku, but the whole principle cast of pointy-haired heroes.

A picture is worth a thousand words, but watching almost 20 minutes of uncut gameplay is even better, so have a look for yourself:
