Call Of Duty 2020: Alleged Alpha Listing Appears On Microsoft Store

A listing for an alleged alpha version of Call of Duty 2020 has appeared on the Microsoft Store. You can check out the listing for The Red Door here, a game listed as a "Shooter" created by Activision. The description for the game reads: "There is more than one truth. If you go looking for answers, be ready to question everything and accept that nothing will ever be the same. The Red Door awaits, do you dare step through it?" The game also has an approximate size of 81.65 GB, and is rated Mature. As noted by VG247 we've seen The Red Door before, when it appeared on the PS4 Database website with a Content ID that contained the string "COD2020." It's not clear what exactly is going on here, but it could be Activision sharing in-development builds of the game, a practice that is common in the games industry - last month we saw an early build of Gods and Monsters leak onto Google Stadia.  Call of Duty news account Modern Warzone tweeted today that they had received a "threatening email" from Activision after using the image from The Red Door listing, which suggests that there is some credibility behind this leak, and Activision's control over it. Back in May, a series of reports suggested that this year's COD game was titled Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, and that the game would return the series to the late 20th-century historical setting it had previously inhabited. All of this suggests that Activision is raring up to reveal this year's Call of Duty game, so watch this space for more news on that front.

Destiny 2: Beyond Light Has Been Delayed to November 2020

Destiny 2: Beyond Light has been delayed from its original release date of September 22, 2020, to November 10, 2020. In a blog post, Bungie explained how "the past few months have been a challenge and will continue to be during this pandemic. We’ve learned to create together in a new way, by having to work apart from one another. Despite these hurdles, we’re still committed to the same level of quality that our fans expect." Beyond Light is the first chapter in a new trilogy of expansions for Destiny 2 that will also include 2021's The Witch Queen and 2022's Lightfall. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/06/09/destiny-2-beyond-light-reveal-trailer"] Destiny 2's latest season, Season of Arrivals, will also be extended to November 10, 2020, and Bungie promises more information for it and Beyond Light "over the coming weeks." Beyond Light will have Guardians traveling to Europa, Jupiter's frozen moon, to "brave the unrelenting glacial frontier, infiltrate the Golden Age Braytech facility, and uncover the secrets that lie deep under the ancient ice." Stasis, a brand new elemental power, will join Arc, Solar, and Void in this new expansion and a new six-person raid, which takes place in the Deep Stone Crypt below the frozen tundra of Europa, will also become available with Beyond Light. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=destiny-2-season-of-arrivals&captions=true"] Alongside Bungie's announcement of Destiny 2: Beyond Light last month, it revealed that Destiny 2 on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X will run at 4K, 60 FPS. Also, those who own the base game and any expansions will be able to upgrade to the PS5 and Xbox Series X versions for free. [poilib element="accentDivider"] Have a tip for us?

Batman: White Knight Gets a Harley Quinn-Centric Sequel

Ahead of Comic-Con@Home, DC Comics has revealed two major additions to its mature readers DC Black Label imprint. Both Batman: White Knight Presents Harley Quinn and American Vampire 1976 will debut on October 20, 2020. Batman: White Knight Presents Harley Quinn is the latest addition to the popular Batman: White Knight universe. As the title suggests, the new six-issue series will focus on Joker's former sidekick in the aftermath of Batman: Curse of the White Knight. With Jack Napier dead, Batman in prison and Azrael having eliminated all criminals in Gotham, the time has come for Harleen Quinzel to make peace with her checkered past and help the GCPD solve a new series of gruesome murders. The series will also deal with the revelation that Jack fathered twin children with Harleen before his death. While previous White Knight comics were written and drawn by Sean Gordon Murphy, this latest sequel will be written by novelist (and Murphy's wife) Katana Collins, with Murphy co-plotting the story and handling cover art. Matteo Scalera (Black Science) is drawing the series and Matt Hollingsworth (Daredevil) is providing colors. Check out a preview of the first issue in the slideshow gallery below: [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=harley-quinn-goes-solo-in-batman-white-knight-sequel&captions=true"] “While developing Batman: White Knight and Batman: Curse of the White Knight, it became clear that there were rich backgrounds and stories to explore beyond the main series,” said Murphy in DC's press release. “I couldn’t be more excited to work alongside Katana, Matteo, and Matt Hollingsworth to enrich and expand this world in a way that’s just as rewarding for new readers as it is for loyal Batman: White Knight fans.” As for American Vampire 1976, that series reunites creators Scott Snyder and Rafael Albuquerque for the final chapter of their long-running horror saga. Set in 1976, naturally, the series follows the formerly undead protagonist Skinner Sweet as he deals with mortality and reunites with Pearl Jones one last time to stop the Day Trader from unleashing its final plans for humanity. American Vampire 1976 will run for nine issues and serve as the finale to a story that began way back in 2010's American Vampire #1. Previous entries in the series were published under DC's Vertigo imprint, but American Vampire has transitioned to Black Label following the end of the Vertigo brand last year. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=american-vampire-begins-its-final-bloody-chapter&captions=true"] “Scott, Rafael, and I, we cut our teeth together on American Vampire 10 years ago,” said executive editor Mark Doyle in DC's press release. “Returning to finish the story we started a decade ago is a thrill. Working on American Vampire 1976 has been so creepy and cool, especially because the parallels between 70’s paranoia and today are really chilling…” “The characters in ‘76 are in a really dark place in terms of the fight against evil,” said Snyder. “The '70s mirror our current era in many ways: the anxiety, the fear, and the re-examination of American identity. The book opens on Skinner Sweet working outside of Vegas doing death-defying Evel Knievel-style stunts, trying to die. There’s a kind of Son of Sam plot in New York City with Cal and Travis, a political thriller plot with Felicia, and all sorts of '70s iconography. It’s my favorite arc so far.” These two Black Label announcement come shortly after DC revealed Rorschach, a new sequel to Watchmen set 35 years after the events of the original comic. We expect DC will have more to reveal about all three projects at Comic-Con@Home next week. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2019/07/24/batman-curse-of-the-white-knight-official-dc-comics-trailer"] In other DC news, Audible's adaptation of The Sandman is out now, and we talked with Neil Gaiman to find out how the audio drama compares to the Netflix series.

Matteo Scalera (Black Science) is drawing the series and Matt Hollingsworth (Daredevil) is providing colors. Check out a preview of the first issue in the slideshow gallery below: [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=harley-quinn-goes-solo-in-batman-white-knight-sequel&captions=true"] “While developing Batman: White Knight and Batman: Curse of the White Knight, it became clear that there were rich backgrounds and stories to explore beyond the main series,” said Murphy in DC's press release. “I couldn’t be more excited to work alongside Katana, Matteo, and Matt Hollingsworth to enrich and expand this world in a way that’s just as rewarding for new readers as it is for loyal Batman: White Knight fans.” As for American Vampire 1976, that series reunites creators Scott Snyder and Rafael Albuquerque for the final chapter of their long-running horror saga. Set in 1976, naturally, the series follows the formerly undead protagonist Skinner Sweet as he deals with mortality and reunites with Pearl Jones one last time to stop the Day Trader from unleashing its final plans for humanity. American Vampire 1976 will run for nine issues and serve as the finale to a story that began way back in 2010's American Vampire #1. Previous entries in the series were published under DC's Vertigo imprint, but American Vampire has transitioned to Black Label following the end of the Vertigo brand last year. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=american-vampire-begins-its-final-bloody-chapter&captions=true"] “Scott, Rafael, and I, we cut our teeth together on American Vampire 10 years ago,” said executive editor Mark Doyle in DC's press release. “Returning to finish the story we started a decade ago is a thrill. Working on American Vampire 1976 has been so creepy and cool, especially because the parallels between 70’s paranoia and today are really chilling…” “The characters in ‘76 are in a really dark place in terms of the fight against evil,” said Snyder. “The '70s mirror our current era in many ways: the anxiety, the fear, and the re-examination of American identity. The book opens on Skinner Sweet working outside of Vegas doing death-defying Evel Knievel-style stunts, trying to die. There’s a kind of Son of Sam plot in New York City with Cal and Travis, a political thriller plot with Felicia, and all sorts of '70s iconography. It’s my favorite arc so far.” These two Black Label announcement come shortly after DC revealed Rorschach, a new sequel to Watchmen set 35 years after the events of the original comic. We expect DC will have more to reveal about all three projects at Comic-Con@Home next week.

One-Third of Developers Say Their Games Were Delayed by COVID-19 According to GDC Survey

According to a survey of almost 2,500 game developers, one in three developers revealed that their games were delayed as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic that has halted many industries as companies scrambled to shift to a work-from-home model. In a special Game Developers Conference (GDC) survey, 1 in 3 developers (33%) reported that the games they’re working on were delayed due to the pandemic. 70% of respondents also announced that they’ve begun working from home, while 27% were already working from home before the crisis. One developer was quoted, “We transitioned to [work from home] okay, but it did cause us about a couple of weeks of disruption. As [New Zealand] has got COVID under control we’re already back at the office and functioning 100 percent.” [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=confirmed-playstation-5-games&captions=true"] Every year, ahead of the annual Game Developers Conference, the organizers release a state of the industry survey with answers directly from developers. This year, GDC’s physical event in San Francisco, California was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In light of the events, the organizers decided to release a special survey on how the pandemic impacted the games industry. Normally these surveys are meant to gauge a variety of sectors related to the work game developers do. In previous years, surveys reported on general interest in emerging technology like VR, or how many developers have begun work on next-gen games ahead of the PS5 and Xbox Series X announcements. But with so much of the industry upended by COVID-19, this year’s survey focused primarily on the pandemic. In other areas of the industry, 34% of respondents revealed that their game business declined, while 37% said their business remind the same. 31% of developers even said business increased during the pandemic. Less than 10% of surveyed developers were laid off as a result of the pandemic. GDC will host a special digital-only event from August 4-6. [poilib element="accentDivider"] Matt T.M.
