Call Of Duty Mobile Season 3 With New Gun Teased With Cryptic Images

Activision has begun to tease the next season for Call of Duty: Mobile. Across a pair of tweets, the developer confirmed that a new pistol is coming to Call of Duty: Mobile in Season 3, while what looks like a new map is coming as well, based on the teaser.

CharlieIntel said the new pistol is the Renetti from Modern Warfare. The pistol is very powerful, as it can take down enemies with four body shots in Modern Warfare. It remains to be seen if it will be changed at all for CoD: Mobile, if it is indeed coming to the game.

As for the new map, you can check out the teaser image below and the flythrough video further down the page. It looks like a classic Call of Duty map, featuring interior and exterior lanes that can suit a number of different play styles.

Call of Duty: Mobile is currently in the midst of Season 2: Day of Reckoning, but based on these teasers, it appears Activision is going to mix things up and launch the new season relatively soon.

Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War and Warzone are also currently in Season 2. The in-game timer suggests the season will end this month, and it could be a dramatic occasion for the game. The popular rumor is that Activision will blow up the map and re-launch the game with an ’80s theme based on Black Ops Cold War.

COD WW2 Could Give Battlefield 6 The Edge

Aaron Sampson and Richie Bracamonte are here to talk about the COD’s rumored return to World War II. This can be to the detriment of burnt-out Call of Duty fans, but could also lead to more interest in Battlefield 6. Rumored to take place in the 2030s and feature Battlefield 3-style multiplayer, die-hard Modern Warfare 2019 fans may have a place to call home in 2021. In the past few months, strange and seemingly dying support from Infinity Ward has left fans puzzled. New weapons like the RAAL Light machine gun and the CX-9 submachine gun have been halfway added into some game modes, and 3 new maps were quietly added in only to be removed days later.

Another leak has surfaced revolving a new Warzone experience. An unfinished trailer leaked that shows off an 80s version of Verdansk. Strangely, it appeared to feature some assets from Cold War: Prominently the Duga 2 array from the game’s optional final mission. Aaron discusses his theories on how we’re going to find ourselves in the 1980s. It definitely takes some suspension of disbelief and of course, time traveling zombies. But since nuclear weapons don’t cause time travel, there’s more to unpack than you might think.

Since zombies seem to be the glue holding the MW and Cold War together, Richie reflects on his fond memories of older zombies maps. As much as he cherishes them, he admits how much harder they were to survive. If you’re enjoying these chats about Call of Duty, speak up! Your comments can lead to more discussions about future COD topics and have a chance to be featured in a future episode!

Outriders Devs Are Working On Inventory Wipe Fix For Affected Players

Outriders encountered server issues in its first few days online and some of the attempts to correct the problem didn’t work initially. Now, another issue–inventory wipes–has been affecting some players, causing them to lose the gear they worked so hard to get. The development team is working to prevent this from happening and is also looking to restore the inventories for anyone who experienced a wipe.

In a series of posts on Twitter, the Outriders team said it had taken “additional preventative measures” on its servers to prevent future inventory wipes and that it’s seeing it happen less frequently. It also recommended force-closing your game and restarting it if you see something is missing, and said it’s looking to restore gear for anyone who lost it.

A Reddit thread provides more-detailed information on how gear will be restored. It will take place as a massive one-off restoration at a to-be-determined date, with valuable Epic and Legendary gear getting restored. Any gear you lost that was in a lower tier will probably not be restored, and the items might have slightly different stats.

“While we are trying our hardest to make things right, we unfortunately cannot make guarantees for the specifics of the above or the timeline of this, as we may run into technical difficulties that delay our work,” the development team added.

These setbacks certainly have, at times, limited players’ ability to enjoy the game, but Outriders has thus far received a positive response for its mix of looting and shooting that seems to understand what makes that formula successful. In GameSpot’s Outriders review, Phil Hornshaw praised its use of cover-shooting and fantasy-style powers along with its endgame activities.

WWE 2K22 Announced During Wrestlemania 37 with Gameplay Teaser

During Wrestlemania 37, WWE 2K22 was revealed alongside a first look at gameplay featuring Rey Mysterio and Cesaro.

The short clip, which you can see below, features gameplay captured from a work-in-progress build but showcases the new character models and action fans can expect when the game arrives later this year.

[ignvideo url=”https://www.ign.com/videos/2021/04/11/wwe-2k22-official-teaser-trailer”]

WWE 2K22 will be 2K’s first WWE simulation wrestling game since the poorly-received WWE 2K20.

In our review of WWE 2K20, we said, “WWE 2K19 looked like it stopped the downward trend for the series, but WWE 2K20 doubles back, breaks its ankle, and tumbles down the slope.”

Following the game being criticized by us and others for its poor performance, numerous glitches and bugs, and more, 2K announced that WWE 2K21 would be cancelled and that, in order to deliver the experience fans want from a WWE game, it would be extending the production timeline for what is now known as WWE 2K22.

[ignvideo url=”https://www.ign.com/videos/2019/10/24/wwe-2k20-review”]

To make up for the lack of a true WWE 2K game, 2K did reveal and release WWE 2K Battlegrounds that, unfortunately, also didn’t receive great reviews.

In our WWE 2K Battlegrounds review, we said that it “works as a shallow party game you play for an hour, then move on to something else, and that’s it.”
