If you prefer Call of Duty's standard multiplayer over the shenanigans that happen in the co-op focused zombies mode, you might be interested to hear that Activision has now separated it from the rest. So from now until January 6th, you can buy Call of Duty: Black Ops 4's multiplayer and Blackout Battle Royale game modes for $30 combined, while the full version will set you back $47.
You can get a pretty good idea of what to expect from this multiplayer package, as well as what the Blackout Battle Royale mode is all about, by checking out one of the pre-launch trailers. Have a gander, it's a fairly short one:

If you ever wanted to get into MTG Arena, now would be the perfect time to do so. Not only has Wizards of the Coast just announced a massive $10,000,000 pro league, but they are also currently giving away a variety of extremely good cards, and I say that without even a single hint of sarcasm.
Simply head on over to the in-game store, use the "GAMEAWARDS" code, and you'll immediately unlock 33 highly competitive cards. If you're wondering what these cards might be, as well as what they actually do in-game, allow me to share with you the full list:

The Resident Evil 2 remake will be arriving to PC and consoles this January 25th, and much like its predecessor, it'll be doing so alongside a whole host of improvements. You can expect to see greatly enhanced visuals, better voice acting, support for widescreen resolutions and stable 60 FPS, as well as some potentially controversial changes like modernized movement and combat controls.
If you're wondering what all of this might look like in action, as well as what the new and improved Tyrant is all about, allow me to share with you the recently posted gameplay preview. Have a gander, it's quite an interesting video:
Epic has confirmed they are no longer actively working on the new Unreal Tournament

Despite receiving a couple of rather nifty updates here and there, the development of the new Unreal Tournament has never exactly been active. So given Fortnite's increasingly massive success and the relatively recent shutdown of Epic's MOBA Paragon, many were left wondering what exactly this means for the future of Unreal Tournament. Things certainly weren't looking good as Unreal Tournament hasn't been updated in about a year, but no official answer ever arrived.
Well, that last part has now finally changed, though I'm afraid the answer is not a good one. According to a brief comment Epic Games' CEO and founder Tim Sweeney gave to Variety, Epic is no longer actively working on Unreal Tournament. The reason, as you might imagine, is the increasingly large demand for additional content in Fortnite.

After quite a few previews littered with explosions and over-the-top violence, Just Cause 4 has now landed onto both PC and consoles. As you might expect given the series so far, it brings with it a new and improved arsenal of weaponry, extreme weather effects such as sandstorms and tornadoes, and naturally, a couple of barely justified reasons to go out into the world and see what exactly can and can't be blown up.
While the recently posted cinematic trailer doesn't offer much in terms of gameplay details, it should give you a pretty good idea of what to expect from Just Cause 4. Have a gander:

In a somewhat delayed celebration of the game's fifth anniversary, Sega and Relic Entertainment and currently giving away the World War 2 RTS Company of Heroes 2 for free.

There's no need to immediately install it either, so just add it to your account and you'll be good to go.
If you're wondering what exactly Company of Heroes 2 is about, as well as how well it has held up over the years, allow me to share with you one of the more recent trailers for the Master Collection. Have a peek:
MTG Arena will be getting a significant matchmaking and rank system overhaul this December 13th

If you've been playing MTG Arena recently, you've probably realized that the ranking system has some rather major flaws. The amount of points you gain or lose seems completely random, there are no rewards or incentives to perform well, and perhaps most notably of all, the whole thing does absolutely nothing when it comes to the actual matchmaking.
With that in mind, you might be interested to hear that MTG Arena will finally be getting an actual ranking system, as well as more polished matchmaking, with the upcoming December 13th update. You'll find all of the details in the latest developer update right below, and don't worry, I'll also include my brief summary:
