Activision Still Aiming to Release Urzikstan Warzone Battle Royale Ranked in 2024 https://twinfinite.net/call-of-duty/activision-still-aiming-to-release-urzikstan-warzone-battle-royale-ranked-in-2024/ https://twinfinite.net/call-of-duty/activision-still-aiming-to-release-urzikstan-warzone-battle-royale-ranked-in-2024/#respond Wed, 29 May 2024 15:55:30 +0000 https://twinfinite.net/?p=1080834 Anyone up for an extra challenge?]]>

Since the Urzikstan map was released for Warzone in late 2023, fans have been waiting for ranked to return. It was most recently mentioned in February in a blog post about Season 2 on the Call of Duty site. It was light on details; all it had to say was that it would come later this year. After three months of silence, while fans have been asking on Reddit and Twitter, there is finally a new update.

Call of Duty-focused outlet Charlie Intel shared in a tweet that Activision promised Ranked was still coming in a call with creators. However, while this is still a confirmation, it is still in the works. The only downside is that Activision didn’t announce a possible date. Instead, they once again give it the “later this year” release window. That might not be completely what was wanted, but at least Activision knows players still want it.

Kuro Games has basically confirmed that it will release a free 5-star selector ticket on 26th May 2024 following the release of Wuthering Waves.

Players who signed up early already have access to one free 5-star selector ticket, and now another will be coming their way shortly. This second ticket was released in response to all the negative player feedback after the buggy and seemingly rushed launch of Wuthering Waves.

Fortnite turns seven years old later this year, and over that time it’s amassed one of the largest fanbases in all of gaming. There are always topics cycling in and out of discussion, from the return of God of War’s Kratos skin to the presence of the mysterious megalodon shark. With the launch of Chapter 5 Season 3, it seems the latter urban legend has finally been resolved.

The Megalodon Finally Arrives in Fortnite

The Fortnite megalodon myth started with the YouTuber Jimbothy way back in December 2017. In a video that has now amassed over 1.5 million views, he spoofs viewers by providing (fake) instructions to encounter a shark roaring up from the coast. Ever since then, it’s been a common in-joke in the Fortnite community.

The Marvel universe first collided with Fortnite in 2019 and then the following year in Chapter 2 Season 4 with a Marvel-themed Battle Pass. Since then we have been lucky enough to see Marvel skins in the Item Shop regularly. Many believe we are long overdue another Fortnite X Marvel event, so is it possible we will see one this season? Is Marvel returning for Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3?

One of the latest teaser trailers for the upcoming Fortnite season may have contained a small hint to another Marvel crossover coming in Chapter 5 Season 3.

Wuthering Waves Removes 120 FPS Option https://twinfinite.net/news/wuthering-waves-removes-120-fps-option/ https://twinfinite.net/news/wuthering-waves-removes-120-fps-option/#respond Thu, 23 May 2024 10:26:25 +0000 https://twinfinite.net/?p=1078446 Lower frames!]]>

The latest title from Punishing: Grey Raven developer Kuro Games, Wuthering Waves, has finally released. It’s one of the most anticipated mobile games of 2024, but players are already noticing a few differences compared to closed beta builds. Notably, the game’s much-heralded 120 FPS option appears to have disappeared.

Where Has The 120 FPS Option in Wuthering Waves Gone?

As per u/SuspiciousJob730 on the Gacha Gaming subreddit, the FPS toggles in Wuthering Waves no longer include a 120 FPS option. That seems to be the case for both mobile and PC versions of the game, with the latter available via the Epic Games Store.

The Witcher has been a smash hit that helped cement avowed gamer Henry Cavill as a Hollywood superstar. In fact, it arguably solidified the trend of good adaptations of video games. However, it came as a surprise when Cavill stepped back from the role.

At the time, it seemed that this would allow Cavill to devote more time to his role as Superman. Unfortunately, Warner Bros. decided to take the DCEU in a new direction, which meant recasting the role.

Ever since the shock announcement of the Fortnite x Fallout event due to land in Chapter 5 Season 3, fans have been speculating on what the crossover may evolve. After all, it’s a far cry from the Greek Gods theme of Season 2, meaning some huge shake-ups are on the way. Fortunately, some eagle-eyed Reddit users may have landed on some big scoops.

Flamethrowers May Be Coming in Fortnite x Fallout

In a post on the Fortnite subreddit from user IRS_Agent-636, they labeled a new teaser of the Fortnite Power Armor skins with the Fallout weapons they seem to resemble. You can check out the post here:

In the new shooter XDefiant there is a stat that puzzles many players: Average Skill Rating. It’s hard to correlate it to any of the other stats you can see on your profile, or its usage in-game beyond giving you bragging rights is quite dubious. Fortunately, the community is coming together to make sense of it.

What Is Average Skill Rating in XDefiant?

Based on the Reddit post below, Ubisoft first introduced Average Skill Rating to XDefiant during one of the early tests about a year ago. Since then, many people have reported their rating as anywhere from 0 to 9,999, and none of them have managed to pinpoint which stats affect it the most.

Greetings, Vault Dwellers! Late last week, Fortnite players were surprised with the announcement of the latest huge franchise crossover coming to the game next season. Bethesda is joining forces with Epic Games to create massively exciting new Fallout-based gameplay and cosmetics in Chapter 5 Season 3. As soon as the news broke, players have been coming up with ideas for their own Fortnite x Fallout wishlist. So far, we have only had a teasing hint at what’s to come. Of course, that hasn’t stopped the rumor mill from working overtime. Here is what the players hope for with the new Fortnite X Fallout crossover!

Bottle Caps Instead of Gold

Replacing the current in-game currency with Caps would be fun. Right now we have gold bars falling out of chests used for character services or at Vending Machines. Replacing them temporarily with Caps would lend itself well to a Fallout/Fortnite world!

2022 saw the long-awaited revival of legendary horror franchise Silent Hill. Konami announced three new games, an interactive streaming experience, and a new film. While things have been quiet for some time, recently we’ve seen more coming out. This week, an early cut of Return to Silent Hill was screened at Cannes Film Festival. Additionally, Variety has unveiled the first image of iconic villain Pyramid Head.

Here’s Our First Look at Pyramid Head in Return to Silent Hill

Return to Silent Hill is directed by Christoph Gans and is based on Silent Hill 2, the most beloved game in the series. The game follows James Sunderland, a widower who returns to Silent Hill, after receiving a letter from his late wife, Mary. Along the way, he meets a mysterious young woman, Maria, who physically resembles Mary.

With no hint of it on Fortnite’s social media posts, you would be forgiven for not knowing an event is likely to happen at the end of Chapter 5 Season 2. Just like last season with the arrival of the Titan hand and Pandora’s Box, a slow-burning event is happening on the Fortnite island. The lack of news or updates has made it unclear for fans to know what’s happening and when.

Last season we had a hint at a mini-event occurring thanks to leaks. This season, however, it has snuck under the radar. Unless you spend a lot of time on Fortnite or just happen to jump into a match as it happens, you might not have witnessed this latest bit of excitement.

It has been nearly a year since Diablo 4’s release. Despite some meandering sentiments in the community regarding the game’s post-launch support, the recently released Season 4 might prove to be a hit.

For almost a year, Blizzard has been iterating on Diablo 4 with a multitude of changes to many of the game’s core systems and content—the game’s loot specifically needed the most help. While the first three seasons of Diablo 4 weren’t entirely hated, when playing, it still felt like the game was missing some core functionality that made it fun. It didn’t take long for the community to pinpoint how the loot itself is not only pretty dull, but is a chore to sort through, and misses a lot of those big dopamine moments.
