It was announced on Twitter that PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds is getting a new PVP zombie mode in the future. While we don’t have a release date yet, we do know that the player-controlled zombies will not be a part of the main battle royale mode, and will instead only appear in this separate mode.

Xbox chief Phil Spencer has encouraged fans to try Quantum Break before making any “pre-judgements” about the game’s alleged resolution. Spencer’s comments follow a report by Digital Foundry over the weekend which stated that its tests had led it to believe that the game natively renders at 720p, with HUD elements and menus rendering at 1080p. “In every scene tested so far, a native resolution of 720p is the consistent result found in each pixel count test,” the report said, “so while there’s every possibility of individual render targets operating at higher resolutions, basic geometry that we’re able to measure hands in a 720p result as things stand....

Sega’s Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio has really killed it when it comes to its output as of late. Its recent entries in both the Yakuza and Judgement series seen great success and praise from fans and critics. Plus, the studio managed to successfully branch away from its usual exploratory action formula with Super Monkey Ball Banana Mania and Yakuza: Yakuza: Like a Dragon, to a somewhat lesser extent. Now that the studio has demonstrated its ability to tackle vastly different projects, some might want to see what other genres or gameplay styles the studio can tackle....

Capcom has revealed during an interview with Famitsu magazine (via Reddit) that Resident Evil 2 will accommodate knife-only runs. If you’re not a big Resi fan, knife runs are popular among players who fancy seeking out a greater challenge. And considering the knife a bit of a crap weapon, there’s probably not greater test of skill available. The upcoming survival horror revamp will also allow for speed runs, another popular pasttime among Resi fans....

Capcom has said that Resident Evil 3 Remake will have only one ending, and does away with the original’s determinant routes that change Jill Valentine’s story (via PlayStation Magazine). In the 1999 game, this was termed “Live Selection,” and requires the player to choose an action in a cutscene. As actions stack over the course of Resident Evil 3’s story, there will be different endings depending on the decisions taken. For example, choosing to negotiate with the antagonist will cause the final boss battle to play out in one way....

Valorant releases around the globe today, and with the launch comes a ton of new stuff. There’s the new agent Reyna, who we met earlier in the week.

But Riot will probably make changes fairly quickly....

This review contains spoilers. 4.8 In Treatment “I hurt all the time, and all I want to do is make sure no one else does.” Let’s say it again for the people in the nosebleed section: The most fun thing about Riverdaleis how ridiculous it is.

The new system encourages proficiency across multiple heroes within a given role, rather than the hero selection process being a byproduct of a single meta. Kaplan has since taken to the Blizzard forums to answer fan questions about his new developer update, and in one of those replies, specified that the hero pool system may not be permanent....
