According to a report from Kotaku, Activision has informed developers at Sledgehammer Games and Raven that both studios will no longer be in charge of the Call of Duty game scheduled for 2020.

Instead, Treyarch, who last developed 2018's Call of Duty: Black Ops 4, will reportedly be taking over and leading development on a new Black Ops game for next year – Black Ops 5.

Raven and Sledgehammer were originally supposed to lead the development of the 2020 Call of Duty, and according to Kotaku, the plan was to set its story mode during the Cold War. Conveniently enough, Kotaku reports that Treyarch is also setting its story mode for Black Ops 5 during the Cold War.

World of Warcraft Classic is Blizzard’s attempt to bring back the spirit of its early glory days. That’s not because its suffering (not more so than any other modern MMO), but because the land of Azeroth and how people play around in it has changed so much in the 15 years since launch. That said, a part of the charm included a few “bugs” or “features” that even more experienced players may have forgotten about.

It looks like Blizzard anticipated a bit of head-scratching over it all from beta players, and clarified things in a forum post, first reported by Eurogamer.

Warning: this article contains spoilers for the Arrow Season 7 finale and The Flash Season 5 finale!

Both Arrow and The Flash just wrapped up their latest seasons. One thing both finales had in common (besides an emphasis on the heroic legacies of Oliver Queen and Barry Allen) is that they teased the upcoming "Crisis on Infinite Earths" crossover. In the case of Arrow, Ollie's happy retirement was interrupted by the Monitor, who informed him the time had come to honor the bargain they struck in "Elseworlds." On The Flash, the infamous newspaper headline declaring "Flash Missing, Vanishes in Crisis" suddenly changed. Recent alternations to the timeline have moved up the Crisis from 2024 to 2019.
