Oh right, Marvel’s Avengers is still a thing. While the Square Enix and Crystal Dynamics game has been seen as Anthem 2.0 since it was released, new content is still on the way for the beleagured live service title. The introduction of Kate Bishop AKA Best Hawkeye™ and new missions in Operation Taking AIM will drop into the game on December 8.

In the final Night City Wire episode, and pretty much doubling down on the December 10 release date, CD Project Red dropped some breathtaking news: You’ll be able to play as Johnny Silverhand. Portrayed by everyone’s favourite actor and all around good dude Keanu Reeves, footage from the new trailer showed off segments where players can engage in gameplay sequences that allow them to relive Silverhand’s memories from his perspective.

James Bond may have plenty of time to die now that his latest film has been cast into the deepest pits of release schedule hell, but 007 will be back! In a new video game that is, helmed by none other than Hitman developers IO Interactive. Having spent the last few years crafting intricate sandboxes for Agent 47 to wreak havoc within, IO is perhaps the perfect fit for this project.

Call of Duty: Black Ops: Cold War is exactly what you expect it to be, but there is a massive amount of content on offer here and it's still impressive. Maybe the magic is starting to slip now, but if you've not picked up a Call of Duty recently then grab this one, there's still some fun to be had.

Whenever something is added to Bungie’s sprawling cosmic sandbox, something else inevitably breaks, usually to hilarious effect. Players are quick to pounce on exploits in Destiny 2, and now that the Beyond Light expansion has launched they’ve discovered the biggest one yet. One of the major new additions from the expansion is a new Guardian subclass that uses Stasis energy to create a different experience.

Cyberpunk 2077 looks…okay on Xbox One X! It had all the visual hallmarks of this current generation of gaming, but it didn’t run so good and there were some noticeable frame-rate drops in the game which mostly ran at 30 frames per second. On the Xbox Series X, there’s a more stable game under the hood. It’s worth noting that this version running on the Xbox Series X is Cyberpunk 2077 without any console next-gen upgrades, so it’ll be interesting to see how the game evolves after those features are added.

Yakuza: Like a Dragon’s switch to turn-based RPG combat and team-based tactics may bite off more than it can chew thanks to terrible difficulty spikes and ill-defined character progression, but it’s still a breath of fresh air for the series. Ichiban Kasuga and his pals are an entertaining lot, the game has plenty of style, and even though the combat devolves into an ungodly grind, it’s a flashy new start to one of Sega’s best franchises.

For the last couple of years, Microsoft has been a bit of a punching bag when it comes to talking about console-exclusive games. Sony has…all of this, Nintendo’s got an undeniable talent for selling you the same game several times over multiple generations and Microsoft has a world premiere of a Halo Infinite delay.
