Marvel’s Spider-Man had no shortage of outfits that players could choose from once they were unlocked, and another cinematic costume will soon be added to the webhead’s wardrobe in PS5‘s Spider-Man Remastered.

Based on the costume worn in 2012’s Amazing Spider-Man film, the Amazing Suit is one of three new costumes that will appear in the remaster, although we don’t know what the other two costumes are yet. Featuring many elements that the classic Spider-Man costume has, this suit has a darker blue as the dominant color and larger spider symbols on the front and back.

A more radical departure in style from Spider-Man’s signature suit, this costume would be ruined beyond repair by the end of the first film that starred Andrew Garfield as the web-slinging hero. It was replaced with a more familiar get-up in 2014’s Amazing Spider-Man sequel.

It’s not the only new costume that players will be able to wear, as New York’s newest hero will have new suits when Miles Morales: Spider-Man arrives on November 12. In addition to Miles’ first and most iconic costume, players will also be able to make use of the T.R.A.C.K suit.

A preorder bonus, the T.R.A.C.K suit was designed by Marvel Artist Javiar Garron and will be one of two outfits that players can unlock for Miles.

“I wanted to have a new take on the mythos, design-wise, but always trying to keep it coherent and part of the larger picture,” Garron said in a Marvel interview about the design of the suit. “There are those elements that make Miles unique as a Spider-person. Black and red colors. The sport accessories and vibe in some iterations of the suit. I tried to be as aware as possible of how design in games is now in. Try to make it current and vibrant. Unique but definitely Spidey.”

The second preorder bonus suit that Miles will have access to is a mystery for now, although his other and more recognizable costume from the blockbuster hit film Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse would be a good guess.

In that appearance, Miles dons a black Spider-Man bodysuit that he customizes with a unique graffiti emblem and civilian clothing, shedding the extra apparel by the end of the film.

Spider-Man Remastered will launch alongside Spider-Man: Miles Morales on the PS5 next month, and in addition to several graphical upgrades, it also features a brand new face for the original webslinger.

Insomniac Games has also confirmed that if you start Spider-Man: Miles Morales on PS4, you will be able to transfer your saves to PS5. For Spider-Man Remastered, the upgraded game won’t be sold as a standalone and you’ll have to buy the $70 Miles Morales Ultimate Edition to get access to it on PS5.

The big Season 3 refresh recently came to Halo: The Master Chief Collection, and developer 343 Industries has lots more in store for the game down the road. The studio has outlined some of what’s coming in a new blog post, and it includes a never-before-released Halo: Reach helmet and piece of armor, as well as some redacted content that we’re very curious about.

The GRD helmet was cut from the original Halo: Reach, but 343 is bringing it back for MCC with the Season 4 update in the future.

The helmet was used in promotional material for Halo: Reach’s Defiant map pack DLC, but the developer had to cut it due to time/resource constraints. It is a very unique-looking helmet, as you can see in the image below. As for “AKIS,” we don’t know what this means, but 343 said the developer will share more details in a “deeper dive” later on.

The helmet isn’t the only unreleased piece of Halo: Reach content coming to MCC. An “EXD” chest piece is coming to MCC with the Season 4 update as well; check it out below.

“The GRD helmet is the one that most people have requested, but there were other pieces like another helmet and an additional chest piece that we’re able to basically unearth, finish, and polish-up to get in for a future update and seasons. We really think players are going to enjoy these future pieces!” design director Max Szlagor said.

Intriguingly, the blog post also mentions that 343 is looking to further expand the customization options in MCC with other unreleased content. The blog post contains [REDACTED] brackets for this content, and it’s interesting to think about what it may pertain to.

“There are some additional areas we are exploring so investigations are definitely underway and we’re coming to it with a lot of ideas, including looking at unreleased content. But we are unsure of the technical feasibility of bringing that work into MCC like the [REDACTED] armor pieces,” Szlagor said. “We’re excited, but we want to keep some of the [REDACTED] stuff close to our chest as we figure out just how realistic it is. We do not want to over-promise stuff, but we’re definitely taking a look.”

MCC on PC will expand later this year with the arrival of Halo 4, which will complete the package. 2021 is gearing up to be a big year for the Halo series as well with the launch of Halo Infinite for Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, and PC.

Spellbreak, a free-to-play battle royale where every player has an elemental power to fight with, has received its first major update. The game, which launched on PC, Switch, PS4, and Xbox One on September 3, has updated to version 1.1, and has fixed numerous bugs and issues in the process.

Update 1.1 brings several fixes to Spellbreak across all platforms, as well as some system-specific changes for each different version of the game. It doesn’t add any major new features, but instead focuses on tweaking and improving what is already there.

“We wanted the focus of this one to be on stability and performance across all of our platforms,” the Spellbreak blog reads before detailing the patch notes.

The complete patch notes for Spellbreak Update 1.1 are below.

Gameplay

• The Lighting Bolts spell’s recovery animation can now be interrupted by casting a sorcery.
• Fix edge case where reviving or exiling someone could be canceled in order to get faster spell firing.
• Fixed an issue that caused projectiles to sometimes not register damage even though they hit.

Aim Assist

• Smoothed out difference in aim assist strength between different framerates.
  • This results in more consistent behavior for all players and eliminates advantages that came from very high framerate.
• Fixed an exploit where aim assist could be much stronger than intended under certain combinations of distance to target and input sensitivity.
  • This meant it was possible for players under certain circumstances to make their spells incredibly easy to hit. This was mostly clearly seen with the Lightning Gauntlet on PC.
• Adjusted aim assist values for various console platforms.
• Aim assist now decreases over distance.
• Default Look Deadzone setting on Switch is now 0%.
  • This is generally what you want, because deadzones are handled by the OS itself.

Miscellaneous

• Enabled some extra anti-cheat mechanisms.
• Game mode now automatically swaps to squad after completing the tutorial.
• When a player accepts a party invitation while already in a match, they’ll get a UI notification and they can choose to immediately join the lobby.

Windows fixes

• Fixed a bug that would cause some players to hang on the initial title screen.
• Fixed graphics settings getting reset to Ultra in some cases, despite the game reporting other values.
• Fixed a bug that would occasionally cause very long loading times when entering a match.
• Fixed an issue where the mouse would not come back into focus if the player was using both a controller and mouse to navigate menus.

Switch

• Fixed cases where players would sometimes get stuck with a black screen during a match.
• Addressed an issue where players couldn’t load into a lobby with enough time to properly select their drop portal.
• Switch Pro and third-party controllers no longer send multiple inputs for a single button press.
• Fixed a bug causing players to sometimes be unable to see disrupted player’s orbs.

Playstation 4

• Fixed issue where lowest-ping matchmaking region was sometimes not correctly identified.
• Fixed a crash due to changing languages in the pre-match lobby.
• Fixed a black screen caused by waking the console up after idling for an hour in rest mode.

Xbox One

• If an Xbox One player has crossplay disabled in their system settings, Spellbreak will now properly block all interaction with players on other platforms.
• Recent players in Spellbreak now populate the recent players list tied to your Xbox Live account.
• Players set to “Friendly only” in their communication settings will no longer have voice chat blocked for their Spellbreak friends.
• “Ready” button no longer greys out when joining a party through the Xbox shell.
• Fixed a crash caused by returning to the game after pressing the Home button mid-match.

All Platforms

• Fixed a netcode issue that resulted in other characters appearing to stutter/jitter or otherwise not to update at full framerate.
  • Note this also caused “weird” aiming offsets that were reported where it felt like your aim was off. Due to this, your muscle memory with different spells may be affected!
• Players should be able to interact with things after being interrupted while aiming a rune or sorcery.
• Players should no longer get stuck indefinitely on the reconnect screen after internet connectivity had been lost and restored.
• Fixed the infinite loading screen when entering invalid account credentials on login.
• Fixed missing hit sound effect when your damage is buffed.
• If the same Spellbreak account is used to log in to two machines at the same time, the most recent login will cause the early session to abort to prevent data corruption.
• Controller vibration settings now correctly apply in game.
• Fixed issues where item ping indicators would not draw/update correctly.
• Added in translations for some previously untranslated text.
• Fixed a bug that could cause quests to disappear from the main menu when restarting the game.
• Corrected adjective/noun order indicating rarity for latin-based languages on the collection screen.
• Fixed Mana Vault animations getting out of sync with sound and timer.
• Fixed issue with Mana Vaults where its pieces would sometimes flicker as the player walked it.
• Cleaned up some low-resolution textures that could sometimes appear.
• Menu / UI sound effect volume is now properly controlled the associated volume slider.
• Fixed a crash caused by repeatedly pressing the confirm button on the squad loading screen.
• Fixed instances of shadow popping around the map.
• Fixed a crash caused by viewing an item in the store while the rollover takes effect.
• Ice Lance should no longer randomly generate a MASSIVE ice bow.
• Fixed a bug causing 2 players with random outfits equipped to mirror one another’s outfits.
  • Spidermantwinsmeme.png
• Fixed a crash caused by repeatedly exiling yourself in the tutorial.
  • Why do you keep hitting yourself?!
• Fixed some chests not being visible on the player’s client.
• And last but not least, a whole bunch of more rare crashes have been fixed.

Like many popular games, cheaters are flocking to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and the battle royale game Warzone. Developer Infinity Ward isn’t letting these cheaters run amok, however, as the company has confirmed it has banned more than 200,000 accounts for cheating since launch.

This number applies to Modern Warfare and the Warzone spinoff, but Activision did not provide a breakdown by game. There was a new wave of bans this week, Infinity Ward said, and this is seemingly the 20,000 Warzone players that had their accounts deactivated for using cheats, according to a Vice report.

In addition to announcing the new ban total, Infinity Ward said it is staying vigilant in the fight against cheaters by releasing “additional security updates” and “backend enforcement tools.” The developer did not provide any specifics on these, and that may be intentional so as not to give cheaters a heads-up.

Overall, Infinity Ward said it has “zero tolerance” for cheating in its games.

Modern Warfare and Warzone recently welcomed its big Season 6 update, introducing new multiplayer maps, a big change to the Verdansk battle royale map, a new Operator, and more. Check out GameSpot’s Season 6 breakdown to find out everything that’s new.

The next Call of Duty game is Black Ops Cold War, and it’s set for release in November. You’ll be able to play the game much sooner, however, as the open beta begins later in October.

Super Mario Bros. 35, Nintendo’s sort-of take on a Super Mario battle royale, is available now on Nintendo Switch in all Eshop regions around the world. The game is free to download for Nintendo Switch Online subscribers.

he online game casts you as one of 35 Marios, playing the 2D levels of Super Mario Bros. against others online. As you play, you can make other people’s journeys more difficult by defeating enemies, which will be sent to your opponent’s courses; think Tetris 99, but with 35 Marios instead. It can be accessed from the “Nintendo Switch Online” tab on the Eshop, and will take up 400MB of space.

The game has been made to celebrate the 35th anniversary of the original Super Mario Bros. releasing on the NES.

The game is only available to play until March 31, 2021. This is the same day that Super Mario 3D All-Stars will be discontinued, too. It’s not clear why Nintendo has set this time limit, but Jump Rope Challenge was only meant to be available until September 30 and has been extended indefinitely.

A Game and Watch version of Super Mario Bros. is also coming in November, but stock is limited.

Some news coming from a galaxy far, far away next week… stay tuned.
