The castle will be fully explorable with plenty of hidden areas for the player to discover. The demo also highlighted the robust combat system of the game which will allow players to slot up to 16 spells at once allowing for unique combat scenarios. For full coverage visit the video above!
Control 2 is in Active Development
Control, the surprise hit from Remedy captivated audiences with its twisted story and tight gameplay and went on to sell 2 million copies across PlayStation, Xbox, PC, and Nintendo Switch and it comes as no surprise that the sequel has been in development for over a year now. Game director Mikael Kasurinen stated the game is in the concept stages but will have a much larger budget compared to the first one. The game is codenamed Heron and will be developed in conjunction with 505 games with a release for PS5, Xbox Series consoles, and PC sometime in the future.
Activision Reveals Details on Warzone 2.0 and DMZ
The first season of Call of Duty Modern Warfare II is right around the corner and with it will come the next iteration of the Warzone battle royale mode. Activision invited several streamers and Call of Duty content creators to play Warzone 2.0 and DMZ ahead of its launch next week.
Warzone 2.0 will feature aquatic combat in a series first along with multiple final circles that eventually merge into one circle. Warzone 2.0 had initially taken out custom load outs from the game but that decision has since been reversed. The game will also feature a dozen new vehicles and NPC-controlled strongholds.
DMZ is Call of Duty’s take on escape from Tarkov and will put players on the Al-Mazrah map in a story-driven extraction mode aimed at methodical and tactical gameplay. DMZ will require players to complete objectives related to different factions while scrounging for weapons and resources. DMZ will launch in Beta alongside Season 1 of Modern Warfare II and Warzone 2.0 on November 16, 2022.
