2015’s PlayStation 4 game Until Dawn was generally well-liked by critics and it sold better than developer Supermassive anticipated. The studio said it had ideas about Until Dawn 2, but it never happened. Instead, Supermassive developed a spinoff, Rush of Blood, and a prequel called The Inpatient. But will Supermassive ever make Until Dawn 2? It seems unlikely.

Supermassive CEO and executive producer Pete Samuels told Game Informer said the team wants to tell new stories, and it’s doing just that with its new game Man of Medan, which is part of the multi-title Dark Pictures anthology. “After Until Dawn, [many] started to request a sequel, and it still happens today, so we know there is a fanbase that likes this kind of thing,” he said.

“A lot of [creating the anthology] is about our desire to serve that fanbase from our perspective and to serve us ourselves in what we love to do, which is do more stories and characters, and do it more frequently than one or two every few years,” he added.

Game director Tom Heaton said working on an anthology series is more exciting because it gives the studio more freedom and opportunity to take on a new subject with new characters each time. “You’re not tied to historical characters that you have to use,” he said.

Until Dawn features eight playable characters, all of whom you control, and you must make choices that determine whether they live or die. There can be many different endings. This presents a problem for Until Dawn if it were to have the same characters, of course. “If we were making sequels, we don’t know who survived,” producer Dan McDonald said. “I mean we could probably work it out from your game save, but we don’t want to make a sequel to that. We want to make a different story with different people.”

Man of Medan follows a group of four young Americans and the ship captain in the South Pacific on a diving trip in search of a World War II-era wreck. This do not go to plan, and the four face “unimaginable stress and terror” as they try to escape the ship. As with Until Dawn, players will make choices that determine the fates of the main characters.

Also similar to Until Dawn, Supermassive is bringing on big-name actors to play the characters in Man of Medan including X-Men actor Shawn Ashmore and Pip Torrens from The Force Awakens. Man of Medan launches this summer on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.

A new Exotic weapon, an updated version of the Destiny 1 favorite Outbreak Prime, popped up in Destiny 2 after the recent release of Update 2.2.2, but don’t be surprised if you haven’t even heard about it yet. The weapon is in the game, but finding the mission to unlock it is no easy feat, and it’s completely secret; Destiny players stumbled upon it soon after the update and spent the entire day figuring out everything about unlocking it.

The trick to finding the weapon is knowing how to start the quest: Here’s what you need to do and where you need to go. We’ve also got a full guide on unlocking your Outbreak Perfected if you don’t feel like trying to figure it out for yourself.

To start down the path to get Outbreak Perfected, you need to head to Titan. Despite early speculation, there’s no activity you have to play in order to find the start of the quest–you can reach the location just walking around while you’re exploring the planet. Land on the Rig, then head south into the Tidal Anchor area.

You’ll recognize this section of the game from several story missions you’ve completed on Titan (including “Bad Neighbors,” the Adventure that was first thought required for Outbreak Perfected). Work your way through the Tidal Anchor area until you hit the big control room with various switches and a big window. Continue forward into the next room just below it, which also has a big window. You’ll know you’re in the right place if you come through the door in the room and find a scannable Hive crystal floating in the corner immediately to your right; at the left end of the room, you should see a door leading into a room with red lighting. That’s where you’re headed.

In the red room, you’ll see a big door ahead of you that’s sealed, and one to your left, both with the number 7 printed on them. Walk to the left door and you should get an “Unlock” prompt to interact with it. That’ll open the door, leading you into a new room with a glass wall dividing a control area from the rest of it.

Head to the right side of the room, toward the Fallen version of the computer that stands near a sealed door. Beside that will be a slight ramp, at the top of which is a bin full of scrap metal and other junk–something that normally just looks like level decoration that you’d otherwise ignore. Check the bin, however, and get a prompt to “Examine Fallen device.” Do so and you’ll get an Exotic quest item called a Fallen Transponder.

You’re now on your way to unlocking Outbreak Perfected. You’ll next need to decipher some riddles and break some codes, before completing a timed mission similar to The Whisper, the one needed to earn Whisper of the Worm. Check out our full guide for help, including our Zero Hour mission video that shows the right path through the mission’s maze-like corridors.

There’s a new secret Exotic weapon in Destiny 2: Outbreak Perfected, an updated, super-powerful version of the Exotic pulse rifle Outbreak Prime from Destiny 1. The gun is hidden, however, and not easy to get: Like the quest to unlock Whisper of the Worm, it requires battling through a timed mission called Zero Hour, which includes tough fights, platforming puzzles, and a huge boss throwdown.

Check out the video above for a look at how to clear the normal version of Zero Hour (there’s also a Heroic version that’ll help you unlock the Outbreak Perfected catalyst). The mission is something of a maze with lots of fake paths and dead ends designed to eat up your time. The video above can give you a look at the correct path all the way through the mission, which takes place in the ruined Tower from the beginning of Destiny 2, and shows how to take down the Fallen boss at its conclusion.

What the video doesn’t show is how to start the mission, which requires you to find a particular item hidden on Titan, then solve some riddles to figure out where to go next. If you prefer to figure it out on your own, we’ve got where to find the start of the Outbreak Perfected quest detailed here; there’s also a full Outbreak Perfected guide on how to start the quest, unlock the mission, and complete Zero Hour.

Ubisoft has announced Title Update 3, set to go live in The Division 2 this month, will not increase the game’s Gear Score to 515 like previously stated. Instead, the maximum Gear Score will remain at 500.

“Our intention, as always, is for players to enjoy the content they love and continue to make progress with their Agent,” a blog post on The Division 2 website reads. “After talking about loot and Gear Score in a lot of meetings, chats and video calls and many white boards being filled with thoughts, notes and graphs, we decided that with all the changes coming with [Title Update 3], increasing the Gear Score at this point would have created a couple of issues.”

The post goes on to list some of those issues, including how raising the Gear Score to 515 would have made all Gear Score 500 items outdated ahead of the raid that’s also included in Title Update 3. “We don’t want to invalidate your progression and we heard that feedback loud and clear from our community,” the post reads. Ubisoft also doesn’t want The Division 2 to become too focused on chasing higher Gear Scores, as “it should be about finding a playstyle and build that you enjoy.”

To reinforce this, Ubisoft has made several changes to Title Update 3 ahead of its release. These changes are listed below. The list of in-game adjustments and add-ons coming in Title Update 3 are listed in the full patch notes on The Division 2’s website.

The Division 2 Title Update 3 Changes

• We have increased the rewards for daily Priority Hard and Challenging missions. Once you’ve reached Gear Score 500, those activities will guarantee Gear Score 500 drops.
• Heroic Mission bosses, Stronghold bosses and Bounty bosses, as well as Control Point Alert Level 4 reward containers guarantee Gear Score 500 items if your average Gear Score is at 500.
• DZ contaminated loot does not drop below player’s average Gear Score. When you’ve reached an average Gear Score of 500, Contaminated loot will guarantee Gear Score 500 items.
• We’ve balanced loot across the board to reduce the chances of items dropping at a lower Gear Score than that of your character.

The Division 2 is available on Xbox One, PS4, and PC.
