Halo Infinite Dev Assures Everyone There’s ‘No Creative Dilemma’ At 343 After Lead Producer Leaves
Back in August, it was reported that Halo Infinite creative director Tim Longo left 343 Industries as part of a leadership shuffle. Over the weekend, Halo Infinite executive producer and lead campaign producer Mary Olson also left 343, inciting concern over the status of Microsoft’s next Halo game.
Now, an employee at 343 Industries has clarified what Olson’s departure actually means for the Halo Infinite project.
Over the weekend, various online posts began appearing on Reddit and Resetera reporting that Olson left 343.

The Batman Has Cast Its Catwoman
The Batman has cast Zoe Kravitz as Selina Kyle, the alter ego of Catwoman, IGN has confirmed.
Deadline first broke the news that Kravitz will portray Selina Kyle opposite Robert Pattinson's Bruce Wayne in the reboot from writer-director Matt Reeves, which is scheduled for release on June 25, 2021. It's notable that Warner Bros. announced Kravitz's casting as "Selina Kyle" with no mention of Catwoman, but given how familiar fans are with the character's secret identity - and rumors that Reeves' new take on the Dark Knight will be a trilogy - it seems impossible to imagine that Kravitz won't don the catsuit and whip at some point.

Every Game With Confirmed Cross-Play
With Sony recently completing the beta phase of cross-play on PS4, the long-requested feature is now positioned to grow out of its infancy and into a multiplayer staple by the time next-gen consoles launch during Holiday 2020. With official support in place from all major platform holders, we're highlighting every current and upcoming game with confirmed cross-play.
In order for a game to qualify for this list, it has to feature cross-play between any combination of PS4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC (specific PC platforms are listed as they apply). If a game has multiple cross-play combinations (e.g. Xbox One-PC and PS4-PC, but not Xbox One-PS4), they're simply listed on different lines.

Fortnite Chapter 2 Trailer Leaks, Shows New Map, Boats, and More
A trailer for Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 1 has leaked, and features what appears to be a brand new map, boats, a new progression system, and more, according to a report by PC Gamer.

As for the trailer itself, there’s a lot to parse through.
Most notably, it appears we are in fact getting a new map, as none of the areas displayed in the trailer are recognizable from any season of the original map.
