Last week, Bandai Namco and NetherRealm Studios announced that they would no longer be working with new esports organisation WePlay, which has recently begun hosting Tekken 7, Mortal Kombat 11, and Soulcalibur VI tournaments with some BIG prize money involved. Both companies posted statements declaring buzzword reasons for not wanting to do business with WePlay, which began making a name for itself last year as it organised in-person fighting game tournaments.

Considering that the original games aren’t actually that big and we’ve been conditioned by Call of Duty to expect huge patches, it’s actually not that bad.

This would corroborate the rumours that DICE was taking the series back to more modern times in an attempt recapture the glory days of Battlefield 3.

It's a surprisingly busy month ahead, that builds on the hype of Returnal and New Pokemon Snap to deliver a stunning number of games. The big meal ticket this month is obviously Resident Evil Village, which arrives early with its tall lady goodness on May 7. From there, the rest of the month is positively stacked.

Behold! Six entirely new seconds of Elden Ring footage! That's triple a two-second tease, double a potential three seconds of new footage. and definitely less than a proper trailer which usually contains at least 120 ticks of the clock under normal gravimetric conditions of our comsic odyssey through the universe. Look, I have a wordcount to hit and I'm doing my best here.

It’s about damn time too which is more an expression of frustration for how long its taken and less of a pun. But still a pun!

Largely regarded as one of the best raids in all of Destiny, the Vault of Glass will be making a comeback in Destiny on May 22. According to Bungie, players will need to be at power level 1300 or higher to be at the cap for every encounter, and Contest Mode will be enabled for the 24 hours. Like other Raid debuts, there'll be some sweet real-world loot up for grabs as well!

Before you get started on Returnal, here's a few pointers to help you survive the long fight ahead of you.
