Warzone Might Be Getting a New Location Called Rebirth Island

We know Call of Duty: Warzone will be undergoing some changes following its integration with Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War next week, and today, dataminers have uncovered what appears to be a new addition to the map — called Rebirth Island. If this is indeed true, it’s unclear if it will serve as an addition to Warzone‘s Verdansk map or if it will replace it altogether. Rebirth Island may potentially be a reimagining of Black Ops 4‘s Blackout map known as Alcatraz. We’ll likely find out more next week.

Doom Slayer Is Likely Joining Fall Guys

Today, the official Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout Twitter account teased something very special. In the image, a faint silhouette of the Doom Slayer can be seen, indicating that the character’s costume will likely be implemented into Fall Guys at some point in the future. It’s unclear what it will look like exactly or when it will be added, but Doomguy is coming to Fall Guys — hopefully sooner rather than later.

Here’s a Look at Medal of Honor: Above and Beyond’s Multiplayer Modes

Medal of Honor is making its triumphant return, this time as a VR game in Above and Beyond. It will feature a single-player mode and a multiplayer suite when it launches on Dec. 11. Today, we got a look at the multiplayer offerings, and based on the trailer, it looks pretty slick. It features the Mad Bomber mode, which pits players against one another as they plant and defuse bombs, as well as Deathmatch and other modes such as Blast Radius and Domination. Check it out below!

Cyberpunk 2077 Is Getting a Photo Mode

As expected, Cyberpunk 2077 will be getting a Photo Mode alongside the game’s launch next week. Developer CD Projekt Red released a trailer for the mode, and it seems as robust as photo modes get — with tons of options to personalize your beautiful (or hideous) screenshots. It seems to have the level of depth you’d find in Marvel’s Spider-Man‘s Photo Mode, which is absolutely a good thing. Cyberpunk 2077 will launch on Dec. 10.
