Diablo 4's New Endgame Event Will Make Leveling Glyphs A Breeze (If You Can Survive)

Diablo IV's new endgame event intended for level 100 characters is right around the corner, and will offer a powerful new Glyph as a reward.

In a recent Campfire Chat livestream, Blizzard detailed what all is around the corner for its popular ARPG, detailing the new seasonal Abattoir of Zir event coming as part of Season 2, as well as sharing more information about the game's upcoming holiday event, Midwinter Blight.

Abattoir of Zir kicks off on December 5 and will be playable through early January, Blizzard said. Only accessible by max level seasonal characters on World Tier IV, the event will see players battling against the forces of evil in a race against the clock. Players will have 10 minutes to defeat a required amount of enemies before challenging the event's most formidable foes. That doesn't sound too different from how the game's Nightmare dungeons work, but there is a key difference: a level-one Abattoir of Zir portal will be even more challenging than a Tier 100 Nightmare Dungeon. There will be 25 different levels of difficulty for Abattoir of Zir for players to overcome, giving min-maxing players a significant challenge to pursue. Dying even once during a Zir run will mean the run is over, and will require players to craft and open up a new portal and try again.Continue Reading at GameSpot

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3's Team Responds To Skill-Based Matchmaking Concerns

For more than a decade, Call of Duty players have raised concerns with the series' skill-based matchmaking system. Call of Duty's matchmaking system tries to match players together with similar statistics dependent on their kills, deaths, and assists. Sometimes, this system does not work as intended and places vastly varying skills together with games becoming lopsided.

Earlier today, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3's team was quoted about the game's skill-based matchmaking. The team reiterated that it has placed the utmost care, time, and energy into the matchmaking and lobby system through a few different avenues. "[Skill-based matchmaking] involves people working at our Call of Duty studios, our backend services teams at Demonware, and other groups like our Player Insights team."

Outside of KDR (Kills/Death Ratio), the team said it also takes into account additional factors such as latency and search time to "find the best matchmaking experience" for players.Continue Reading at GameSpot

Call Of Duty: MW3 Patch Removes "Groot" Skin That Players Loudly Complained About

A new patch is out now for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III, and the biggest takeaway is that the update removes the "evil Groot" skin from the game temporarily. Players have, for months, complained that this skin, which is officially titled Gaia but has been referred to as "evil Groot" due to its resemblance to the tree-based Marvel character, was hard to see. Thus, using the Gaia skin gave players using it an advantage on the battlefield, many said.

The Gaia and Gaia BlackCell operator skins are now removed. Developers are now updating the Gaia skin to "improve the visibility," Activision said. There is no word on when Gaia may return, however.The Gaia skin has been removed temporarily

Gaia debuted with 2022's Modern Warfare II and already underwent a round of adjustments to improve visibility. Now that's happening again after Modern Warfare III players complained.Continue Reading at GameSpot

Call Of Duty: Warzone DMZ Is Losing Support With MW3 Integration

Call of Duty: Warzone is getting full integration with Modern Warfare 3 at the arrival of Season 1 on December 6. The big update includes the battle royale's new Urzikstan map, but the seasonal blog post announced that DMZ will remain playable without any new content or progression. Here's everything you need to know about the future of Warzone's extraction mode.

Warzone's free-to-play DMZ extraction mode will remain available to access through the Warzone section of CoD HQ app. DMZ will continue to be fully playable across all existing maps, including Al Mazrah, Ashika Island, the Koschei Complex, Building 21, and Vondel. Additionally, all existing missions will continue to be available.

According to Call of Duty's announcement, DMZ won't be directly connected to Warzone or Modern Warfare 3, meaning that progression and any new MW3 or Warzone content, including battle pass or store bundles, will not sync or carry back into DMZ. This also means DMZ isn't included in Warzone or Modern Warfare 3's cross-progression and DMZ progress will not earn any new battle pass progression beginning with Season 1.Continue Reading at GameSpot

Zack Snyder Plays "Too Much Fortnite," Staying Up Until 3 AM

When he's not directing movies like Army of the Dead or the upcoming Rebel Moon, Zack Snyder likes to play video games like the rest of us. In particular, he has a strong fondness for Fortnite.

In fact, Snyder--who's also known for helming 300 and Man of Steel--revealed to Wired that his wife tried to convince him to do pottery instead of playing the battle royale game. "Yeah, I was playing too much Fortnite. I'm pretty good at Fortnite, actually," he said. "But it was also, you know, 3 in the morning, and my wife is like, 'Are you seriously playing Fortnite at 3 in the morning against some 12-year-olds?'"

While he didn't share his in-game name, Snyder did say his favorite skin in Fortnite is Mr. Meeseeks. The character comes from Adult Swim's Rick and Morty, a show Snyder has previously pushed to become a movie. As such, "if you've been killed by Meeseeks, that could have been Zack Snyder," he said.Continue Reading at GameSpot

Ark: Survival Ascended Polymer Farming Locations And Guide

How to get polymer in Ark Survival Ascended is a complicated process, especially if you want a lot of the material quickly. Organic polymer only comes from a few locations, some of which are easier to deal with than others. You can craft polymer from a few common resources, though, and while it does end up costing a lot, this crafting method is the best way to get the material in the long run. This guide explains where to find polymer and Ark Survival Ascended and how to farm it efficiently.

Where to find polymer



Polymer in its organic form comes from several sources, some less savory than others. The easiest way to get it is by harvesting certain animals. The penguin--Kairuku, in Ark-speak--is one of the more common polymer sources, though you can also find it from the little Hesperonis duck-dinosaurs swimming around the island’s rivers. Kairuku waddle around the ice floes in the map’s northwestern corners. They’re a rare bird, or they were for me at least, so it might take a few days before you encounter some.

The mantis dropped polymer in Ark Survival Evolved, though I haven’t encountered it in Ascended yet.Continue Reading at GameSpot

The Curious Case Of CM Punk: Is His WWE Return Actually A Terrible Idea?

In the world of professional wrestling, fans are taught that the industry lives and dies on the simple phrase of "never say never." No matter what has transpired over the years, and no matter how unhirable someone has made themselves to top professional wrestling companies, a comeback is always possible--especially when there is money to be made. With that in mind, it shouldn't be as surprising as it is that CM Punk has returned to WWE, nearly a decade after his publicly messy departure from the company.

To fully explain the parting of ways and how bitter it was, there are a number of things to note. Firstly, Punk went through all of his side of the story in two appearances on Colt Cabana's The Art of Wrestling podcast. In it, he discussed a number of health issues and injuries he went through during his WWE career. As a result of that podcast, WWE's senior ringside physician, Dr. Christopher Amann, sued the Punk and Cabana for defamation. Punk and Cabana ultimately prevailed in the suit. However, it also led to the end of their friendship. It also seemed any potential of Punk returning to WWE was a moot point.

Fast forward to 2021 and we have the disastrous run of CM Punk in All Elite Wrestling. He debuted to a sold-out United Center in his hometown of Chicago, primed to be the new face of the fledgling company. While he had memorable matches at first, and even won the world championship on two occasions, those highlights were mired by injuries, reports of backstage altercations, suspensions, having the AEW World Championship stripped from him, and ultimately being fired for cause after AEW CEO Tony Khan claimed, "I've been going to wrestling shows for over 30 years. I've been producing them on this network for four years. Never in all that time have I ever felt until last Sunday that my security, my safety, my life was in danger at a wrestling show."Continue Reading at GameSpot

Avengers Rumor: Chris Evans Discusses If He'll Come Back To Play Captain America

Captain America actor Chris Evans has responded to the rumor that Marvel might be plotting to get the original Avengers crew back together to make a new film to help reinvigorate the MCU. Speaking to The View, Evans said if this is a real possibility, no one has reached out to him about it yet.

"I always see those reports too--it's news to me. I think every couple of months someone says, 'They're getting Downey and Hemsworth and Scarlett, and everyone's coming back,'" Evans said. "No one has spoken to me about it."

In the event that Evans would be asked to come back to play Captain America again, how would he feel? Evans isn't ruling it out, but it doesn't sound very likely either.Continue Reading at GameSpot

Disney Didn't Have A Billion-Dollar Movie In 2023, After Having 7 In 2019

2023 is coming to a close, and it looks like it'll be the first time in many years that Walt Disney Studios will not have a single movie crack $1 billion at the global box office.

As Variety reminds us, 2023 will be the first time since 2014 that Disney did not have a movie that made $1 billion or more at the box office. (This does not count the pandemic years of 2020 and 2021). For comparison, in 2019, Disney had a whopping seven movies that made at least $1 billion.

Disney's biggest success of 2023 was Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, which earned more than $845 million at the box office. This was no doubt a huge result, but some analysts expected it to reach $1 billion or perform better than its predecessor, but it did not achieve either.Continue Reading at GameSpot

The Umbrella Academy Drops Teaser For Fourth And Final Season

Umbrella Academy is coming back for one last season, and Netflix has just released a very nonspecific teaser featuring its main cast. Netflix has also debuted an official poster for the season, featuring a network map-style artwork and the tagline "the final timeline."

The teaser shows the actors behind the scenes, including shots of a big table read. While the cast are asked what fans can expect from the new season, don't expect any solid details on the finale's plot or storyline. As Five actor Aidan Gallagher puts it, "they can expect us in marketing material to try and dance around, getting people excited without saying anything new."

Perhaps the most solid hint we get towards the new season is Emmy Raver-Lampman, who plays Allison Hargreeves, promising some "unbelieveable new characters" will be joining the show's already large cast, which includes new villains.Continue Reading at GameSpot

Valve Says Steam Deck 2 Is Still Years Away

In releasing the upgraded Steam Deck OLED, Valve has specified that the new and improved handheld should still be considered part of the first generation of Steam Deck. Answering the question of when we can expect to see a true Steam Deck 2, Valve has said that it doesn't expect to produce a new iteration of the device for at least a couple of years.

That answer comes down to available technology, with Valve engineers explaining that the tech to significantly improve on the current Steam Deck just doesn't exist yet. Speaking to Eurogamer, Valve hardware engineer Yazan Aldehayyat said, "Obviously we'd love to get even more performance in the same power envelope, but that technology doesn't exist yet. That's what I think we'd call a Steam Deck 2.0."

"The first Steam Deck was the first moment in time where we felt like there was enough GPU performance in a portable form factor that lets you play all your Steam games," Aldehayyat contiued. "We would love for the trend of perf-per-watt to progress rapidly to do that, but it's not quite there yet."Continue Reading at GameSpot

PS5 System Update Out Now, Doesn't Do Much

After a few major updates to the PS5's operating system, the latest system update is here--and it doesn't do much. The most recent update only has one line in its patch notes and is focused on system performance, meaning most PS5 players wont' notice much of a difference.

Grand Theft Auto 6 Will Not Be Affected By Potential Actors Strike, Take-Two Suggests

The threat of a video game actors' strike is looming after union members voted 98.32% in favor of authorizing a strike in September. In Take-Two's latest earnings call, CEO Strauss Zelnick was optimistic about negotiations having a positive outcome, adding that the development of GTA 6 is "completely protected" in case of a strike.

SAG-AFTRA is currently negotiating with a number of major video game companies on behalf of actors involved in video games, which include voice actors and mo-cap actors. The companies involved in negotiations include Activision, Disney, EA, Insomniac Games, Epic Games, WB Games, and Rockstar's parent company Take-Two.

As reported by Video Games Chronicle, Zelnick was asked about the negotiations during the Q&A section of Take-Two's latest earnings call. "If voice actors and motion capture were to go on strike, would it slow down the production of the next Grand Theft Auto at Rockstar?" Zelnick was asked. "Does Rockstar have the type of employment contracts that would allow the actors to work through a strike?"Continue Reading at GameSpot

Zack Snyder's Rebel Moon And Army Of The Dead Share A Story Universe

Since departing the DC Universe, director Zack Snyder has brought his energy and focus back into original projects such as Army of the Dead and the upcoming Rebel Moon, both for Netflix. While it might seem that the two films have nothing in common aside from the filmmaker, they are actually part of a bigger shared universe.

Talking to Total Film, Snyder revealed that Rebel Moon--which started as a failed Star Wars pitch--shares ties with Army of the Dead, his post-apocalyptic, zombie-filled heist film, but not in the way you might think.

"Army of the Dead has a pretty vast mythology that never made it into the movie," Snyder explains, via GamesRadar. "There's actually a character from Rebel Moon in the Army of the Dead animated series that we never did."Continue Reading at GameSpot

Possible Nintendo Switch 2 Details Continue To Emerge

Nintendo is widely expected to be working on a successor to the Switch. Although there has still yet to be any official word on the system, a new report has provided some insight into the custom processor that may power it

Back in June 2021, tech leaker kopite7kimi posted a picture of Nvidia's T234 processor, claiming that Nvidia was working on a custom variant called the T239 for Nintendo. In a new report, Digital Foundry stakes a claim the T239 is probably at the heart of the Switch 2. They base this assertion on a combination of leaks, LinkedIn posts, an Nvidia hack, and some "common sense reasoning." A key piece of evidence that the Switch 2 will use this processor is found within the aforementioned hack. According to the leaked information, Nvidia is using a NVN2 API, a second version of the API used to test the original Switch, to emulate the T329's behavior.

The T234 processor was originally designed for automotive and robotics and thus is too big for a mobile console. So the T239 will likely scale down from that chip and cut features meant for usage in automobiles. For example, while the T234 has a CPU architecture with 12x ARM A78AE, Eurogamer's projections give the T239 a 8x ARM A78C architecture. The T239 also reportedly includes a File Decompression Engine not found on the T234, meaning the Switch 2 could have pretty fast load times, provided the rest of the system's hardware is up to the task.Continue Reading at GameSpot

In Alan Wake 2, Remedy Refreshes The Multiverse Idea By Making It A Villain

Warning: This article has some slight spoilers for the later portions of Alan Wake 2, although we tried to keep them to a minimum. It also contains spoilers for Quantum Break and Control.

If you google the term "multiverse fatigue," you'll find a whole slate of articles, social media posts, and forum discussions in which people complain about how much the idea of a "multiverse" has permeated popular culture. With superhero stories and their cinematic universes dominating movies and spreading to TV, the once-fringe, science fictional idea of multiple connected universes and alternate dimensions has become mainstream, and with its ubiquity, kind of dull.

It's into this climate that Remedy Entertainment has released Alan Wake 2, the studio's second game since it started talking about its "Remedy Connected Universe" and narratively linked the Alan Wake games to 2019's Control. And the RCU isn't just bringing Remedy's current and future games into the same world so they can overlap with one another like TV show crossover events. Control is largely about the idea of a multiverse as something to be explored, studies, and defended against, and makes a lot of gestures in the direction that Remedy's past games could be among those additional dimensions.Continue Reading at GameSpot
