It just wouldn’t be SoulCalibur without a certain other warrior though. A character whose signature look is always in flux, weird and just downright goofy at times, albeit from another fighting game franchise that Bandai Namco owns. I’m talking about Tekken’s Yoshimitsu of course. Here he is, in all his magnificently odd glory.

Revealed last night at the Black Ops IIII event in sunny Los Angeles, developer Treyarch’s take on the battle royale mode is called Blackout. All the action that you’d expect of Call of Duty, spread across a wide map, characters and plenty of weapons. Well, minus the massive player count, because Treyarch is undecided yet on just how many players it’ll allow into any given session of Blackout.

That first foray into New York in The Division will likely see scores of agents leave that city soon, as Ubisoft is pushing forward on a sequel later this year. And this time, there’s going to be a lot more to do after the credits have rolled.

For The Crew 2, it’s about more than just looking good on the streets. It’s about finding genuine moments of shock and awe when you’re racing or exploring.

In an industry that is constantly in flux, constantly changing, Call of Duty has managed to cement itself as an annual favourite. It’s Dinner For One with guns, a traditional buffet of action that shows no signs of slowing down. Over the years, everyone knew exactly what to expect from Activision’s money-making franchise: A weekend of story, sixty frames of action at any given time and plenty of multiplayer to keep your thumbs busy. This year, things are different.

With September still a ways away from the kick-off for Destiny 2’s second year of content, Bungie is looking to stretch that gap out as the studio detailed their new summer roadmap for the months ahead.

Is The Crew 2 the kind of game that you’d want to drop a substantial amount of coin on? Maybe the beta can answer that question for you. A beta which you’ll be able to jump into from May 31 to June 4 on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC.

E3 is no stranger to that phenomenon of estimation, as every year happens to have a few traditions. There’s the usual stuff: Press conferences running late, XBoss Phil Spencer having the finest T-shirts in the land and South African journalists being utterly buggered after flying for literal days to reach Los Angeles. So hell, why not make a game out of it? Why not get out the paper, jot down some buzzwords and prepare yourself for…E3 BINGO!
