Hulu’s Castle Rock Canceled After Just Two Seasons
Countless television shows get the axe each year for a dozen reasons. But every time a network or streaming service cancels a show in 2020, it’s hard not to blame it on COVID-19. The latest show to be snuffed out is Hulu’s Castle Rock, Stephen King’s horror anthology series, Variety reports.
If there’s any other connected transmedia universe apart from the Marvel Cinematic Universe that has stood the test of time, it might be Stephen King‘s loosely connected bibliography of horror stories. Castle Rock brought them all together, telling stories set in the fictional town of Castle Rock, Maine.
The show brought together actors and characters from and related to King’s huge library. Actors that popped up throughout the show included King alums Tim Robbins (The Shawshank Redemption) and Bill Skarsgard (It). Characters, meanwhile, included the niece of The Shining’s Jack Torrance and Annie Wilkes from Misery, among others. JJ Abrams executive produced the series through his Bad Robot production company.
Among Us Is Getting An Account System And A Bigger Map
Among Us has a new update, and while it’s fairly minor, the patch notes highlight some huge additions coming in future patches. The latest Steam update promises some big changes around the corner, including ongoing accounts that will make matchmaking easier.
The latest update includes some fixes, and the option to vote anonymously, but the really big changes are down the track. When accounts come to the game in December, players will be able to better track their progress and, eventually, create friendlists. Developer Innersloth says that the system will be “a bit barebones” at first, but will improve down the track.
More exciting still is the promise of a new map on the horizon. According to the Steam update, it’s “Henry Stickmin themed”, and it’ll be bigger than Polus. The map will be totally free, and will come with different tasks for players to complete. There’s no further information available, but it’s good to know that it’s coming.
Additional translations and localizations are also in the work, as well as colorblind support. This current patch has a “first pass” for colorblind support, but more work is underway.
Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez recently streamed Among Us with some friends–which was a pretty wonderful thing to happen.

Awesome Games Done Quick’s 2021 Schedule Is Here
Awesome Games Done Quick is returning in January 2021 with the same online-only format seen in this year’s Summer Games Done Quick, as reported by Eurogamer. With participants streaming from the comfort of their own homes, we’ll be seeing games like Hades and Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, as well as runs requiring special set-ups, like a Beat Saber showcase on the game’s hardest difficulty.
As the first Games Done Quick event since Supergiant’s Hades got its full release, it’s good to see it on the list even if only as a bonus game. The game list has plenty of classic titles including the requisite Metroid and Zelda runs, but also has some oddities that will be well worth a watch. PeekingBoo will be running Celeste entirely on a dance pad, while another run will spend an hour on the infamously bad Zelda CD-I game Wand of Gamelon–with all cutscenes.
AGDQ will also have a section devoted to Super Mario Bros. 35, as the only event that will coincide with the game’s limited release. The schedule includes both a showcase match and a battle showcase for the unique Mario Bros. battle royale.
Here’s An Early Look At Call Of Duty: Black Ops Cold War’s Campaign Missions
Ahead of the November 13 release of Call Of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, the developer has shared a sneak peek at some of the missions that’ll make up the single-player campaign. Led by studio Raven Software, the campaign continues the story of the original Black Ops game, picking up with Woods, Mason, and Hudson 13 years later.
The Call Of Duty blog post has detailed three separate campaign missions ahead of the game’s release–one a covert urban mission turned rooftop chase, the second a flashback against the backdrop of the Vietnam War, and the last an infiltration of the KGB headquarters.
The missions featured have been chosen to illustrate the philosophy behind Cold War’s campaign– Raven Software wants to include everything that die-hard fans of the series will love, while also mixing up the formula and still making Cold War accessible to newcomers to the series.

We’ve checked and can verify that Battlefield V and other titles from EA Play can now be pre-installed by Game Pass subscribers who do not own these games.
EA Play contains over 70 games on Xbox–here’s the complete list. Its inclusion makes Game Pass even better value. This only applies to the console version of EA Play, though–the PC still requires a separate subscription.
It was previously announced that EA Play would be available to Game Pass subscribers in November, and that’s now coming to pass. Some other major games recently added to Game Pass include a trio of classic point-and-click adventures and the upcoming console release of Gears Tactics.
The Xbox Series X, which you’ll also be able to play all of these games on, launches November 10.
