While filled with clanging swords and marching troops, the voice clips used through the trailer emphasises the threat that the Nilfgaardian Empire poses to the world, with Yennefer suggesting that their army has the might to destroy everything. It’s also hinted that Nilfgaard are looking for Princess Ciri, who seems key to the whole conflict. Henry Cavill’s Geralt vows to find and protect her, indicating he’ll have more of a role than just a simple monster slayer in this story.

Today’s spotlight deal is an incredible Xbox One X bundle from Walmart. Make no mistake, the Black Friday Xbox One X deal was very good, but it pales in comparison to this deal that Walmart just cooked up. Check it out, and more.

Thursday has arrived, and that means it’s time for another Epic Games Store freebie. Fresh off of handing out the hand-drawn adventure game Jotun: Valhalla Edition, Epic is giving away The Escapists, a sandbox prison game centered around–you guessed it–escaping from prison. The Escapists is normally $18, but if you have a free Epic account, you can snag it for free until December 19 at 10:59 AM ET.

The Escapists originally launched in 2015 to widespread acclaim. The pixelated sandbox game has 10 different prisons. In each run, your goal is the same: Escape. But escaping isn’t a straightforward process. Avoiding the attention of guards is a must, so you have to blend into the day-to-day life of prison by following the rules, including working one of 10 prison jobs. As a sandbox game, you’ll craft materials that can help you escape, including shovels and various weapons that must be hidden from guards.

Though The Escapists is set in a rather unpleasant place, it’s pretty light-hearted. Both guards and inmates have humorous personalities and the general tone makes even failed escape attempts a good time.

If you enjoy what you play, an equally well-received sequel, The Escapists 2, launched in 2017. Make sure to claim The Escapists by December 19. Epic hasn’t revealed next week’s free game just yet.

Capcom announced a remake of Resident Evil 3 earlier this week, during PlayStation’s final State of Play of 2019. As a surprise, the announce trailer also revealed that Resident Evil Resistance will be included as part of Resident Evil 3 when it launches early next year. The asymmetrical four vs. one multiplayer game was originally shown at this year’s Tokyo Game Show, back when it was codenamed Project Resistance. It pits four survivors against a single Mastermind as they attempt to escape a fiendish experiment.

Now, Capcom has introduced one of the previously unannounced characters you’ll be able to play as when attempting to survive the maniacal Mastermind’s maze of horrors. His name? Martin Sandwich.

The young Sandwich is a skilled engineer and mechanic who’s able to create traps to slow down or stun enemies. Impressive, considering he looks like a small child. Martin Sandwich is actually 19 years old despite his baby face, and joins a cast of characters that includes Samuel Jordan, a 21-year-old boxer; January Van Sant, a 21-year-old hacker; 22-year-old park ranger Becca Woolett; 23-year-old grad student Valerin Harmon; and Tyrone Henry, a 25-year-old firefighter. You’ll notice that none of these names are particularly unusual, aside from January Van Sant which is a little out there.

Martin Sandwich stands out for obvious loaf-related reasons, but he’s probably also an intentional reference to the Jill Sandwich scene from the original 1996 release of Resident Evil.

He might be able to build traps, but can he escape them as proficiently as his namesake? And will Barry Burton be around if he does? We’ll have to find out when Resident Evil 3 launches on April 3, 2020 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. We’ve even got you covered with a comprehensive pre-order guide.

Ahead of tonight’s The Game Awards, where a “special announcement” will be revealed, a brand-new Fortnite patch is now live for mobile devices, PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. The update brings a host of fixes and tweaks, as well as a new way to play on consoles.

Fortnite’s latest update, v11.30, introduces split-screen cooperative to the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. Though it’s an “early release” of the feature, which will continue to receive updates in the future, you can use split-screen in both Duos and Squads with your friend on the same system.

Elsewhere in the patch, the ammo indicator has been changed, offering a better visual representation in the form of numbers instead of the solid bar the game used previously. Other fixes and tweaks include addressing issues with missing and/or incomplete textures, preventing the Social menu on the Friends List from auto-scrolling, increasing the daily Item Shop gifting limit, and more.

A new leak suggests developer Epic Games is looking into altering its traditional Battle Pass structure by offering some sort of all-encompassing Annual Pass. We’ll learn more during tonight’s Game Awards show, as well as whether this leak is the “special announcement” Epic Games has planned.

If you’re still stocking up on holiday gifts or looking to buy a little present for yourself, you can pick up Call of Duty: Modern Warfare for cheap on Amazon today. The retailer is offering the latest in Activision’s massive shooter franchise for $38. The deal is for physical copies of on PS4 and Xbox One.

The price actually matches the best deals we saw for Black Friday and Cyber Monday, so if you held off then your patience has been rewarded.

Modern Warfare recently launched its first season of live content, which includes four maps, a new Reinforce game mode, aand five more Spec Ops missions. All of those free additions are available to all players, and you can also work your way through the free tiers of the Battle Pass to get the two new guns, a RAM-7 assault rifle and Holger-26. Buying into the Battle Pass for roughly $10 gets you a new Operator, 20 Tier skips, and a lot more cosmetics you can earn.

Modern Warfare earned a 7/10 in GameSpot’s review. “Realism mode is an excellent addition to the slate, and although not all the new multiplayer modes are great, Gunfight and the Night Vision playlist are refreshing standouts,” Kallie Plagge wrote. “And while the campaign ends up playing it safe in the end, it’s still a memorable one, and it lays a strong foundation for where the Modern Warfare series could go from here.”

Original Justice League director, Zack Snyder, has posted a brand new photo of Henry Cavill wearing a black Superman suit, which appears to confirm that Superman ditched his traditional costume in the infamous Snyder Cut.

In a post on social media network Vero on Thursday, Snyder continued to build momentum in the “Release the Snyder Cut” movement, founded by fans who want to see the fabled alternate cut of the 2017 Justice League movie.

Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker director JJ Abrams and Rey actress Daisy Ridley have commented on why the sequel trilogy ignore midichlorians in their portrayal of the Force.

At a press conference in Tokyo, the cast and crew of the forthcoming Star Wars movie were asked whether George Lucas’ unexplored ideas regarding midichlorians will ever be explored in canon. The question was mangled in translation into English, but led to an interesting discussion nonetheless.

Wasteland 2, InXile Entertainment’s post-apocalyptic RPG, is currently free in the GOG.com winter sale. You better be quick to grab it, though, because the offer is only around for another 24 hours. Here it is.

This free version of Wasteland 2 is the Director’s Cut Digital Classic Edition, which also includes the original Wasteland–first released in 1988. The post-apocalyptic tactical-RPG sequel follows a ragtag group of wasteland protectors known as the Desert Raiders. After one of its members is brutally murdered while investigating a strange radio signal, you pick up the investigation where they left off, taking you on an adventure across the wastes of a post-nuclear fallout Arizona.

Reviewer Daniel Starkey gave Wasteland 2 a score of 8/10 in GameSpot’s review, saying, “In many ways, Wasteland 2 represents everything about classic computer role-playing games that the modern iterations of Fallout aren’t. Where Fallout 3 gives you an extreme amount of general latitude, Wasteland 2 focuses on the narrative minutiae and tangible consequences of your individual actions. Where Fallout 3 tries to craft a broad world that feels whole, Wasteland 2 loosely strings together several locations with hidden connections, with secrets waiting to be discovered and picked over. And where Fallout masterfully uses comedy to lambast the ludicrous tone of paranoia surrounding Cold War America, Wasteland 2 attacks the natural arrogance of the individual. It forces us to confront the painful truth of our own blind self-righteousness, and shows us how childish our own grand plans truly are.”

This is an ideal opportunity to get into the Wasteland series if you haven’t already, with Wasteland 3 launching early next year. We were able to get our hands on it a few months ago, and were left thoroughly impressed by the upcoming RPG.

GOG.com’s winter sale is running until January 2, 2020, and features plenty of mouth-watering deals on games such as A Plague Tale: Innocence, Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice, Ashen, and dozens more. You can also pick up two GameSpot 10/10s, with deals on The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt – Game of the Year Edition and Divinity: Original Sin 2 – Definitive Edition.
