Call Of Duty: Warzone Is Getting A New Bomb Drone

Call of Duty: Warzone is getting a new field upgrade soon. Players have found a bomb drone, a combination of two existing in-game items, in some private matches of the battle royale.

“Wow they literally took a tactic the community used and made it part of the game,” said Redditor Freshout420 in a thread about the bomb drone. The new item combines C4 and the recon drone, letting players set the C4 off after navigating the drone to a target.

Players have been making bomb drones of their own since the first season of Warzone when the game launched in March. One player would throw C4 onto a recon drone while their teammate flew it towards an enemy squad. They’d coordinate and set the C4 off once the drone got close enough. It’s just one example of the creativity the community has used on the battlefield.

Animal Crossing: New Horizons Players Are Already Putting Up Christmas Lights

Halloween is over, pumpkin patches are gone, and spooky decorations are put away. Animal Crossing: New Horizons players are on to the next big in-game holiday: Christmas.

No Caption Provided

“People get a pass for early Christmas decorations this year in my book,” said Animal Crossing player and Redditor Primique. “Spread the holiday cheer!”

Snow won’t come to the game until December 10 like every other entry in the series, but players are already putting up lights and decorations. Some have created custom paths lined with colorful bulbs, special Holiday-themed clothing, and even elaborate lawn decorations. November is just December-lite for these players.

Is Demon’s Souls Remake Coming To PC?

The Demon’s Souls remake was released on November 12, 2020 as a PS5 launch game, but whether or not it will remain exclusive on the new console or eventually come to PC, either through Steam or another digital storefront, is a bit confusing. Below, we’ll parse through some of the messaging provided by Sony around the possibility of a Demon’s Souls PC version and speculate on whether or not we think it’s likely to happen.

Is Demon’s Souls Remake Getting a PC Version?

An early gameplay reveal trailer for Bluepoint’s Demon’s Souls remake closed out with a screen clearly stating in the footnote, “Also available on PC.” It also referred to the game as a “PlayStation exclusive,” with the added note, “Not available on other consoles for a limited time.” This led many to believe that the Demon’s Souls remake was a PS5 console launch exclusive and that it would eventually make its way to other platforms, including PC.

According to Sony, this messaging was “human error.” The trailer was promptly taken down and replaced with a new version of the trailer that did not include the PC announcement. When pressed for clarification by Kotaku on whether or not this means Demon’s Souls is not coming to PC, a Sony representative said, “Yes, it’s just PS5.”

GameSpot After Dark Ep. 67: Make Love Not Console Wars

Now that both the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S have launched, we can finally settle the debate on which one is the best via the hottest video game podcast out there. On this week’s episode of GameSpot After Dark, PS5 reviewer Mat Paget and Xbox Series X|S reviewer Michael Higham were supposed to throw down but opted for spirited console banter to inform you on where each platform stands at launch.

In a bit of a mix to the normal podcast format, Jake played moderator by giving each debater limited time to make their case on several predetermined topics such as game library, backwards compatibility, controller, user experience, and more. Lucy was chilling, but provided some much needed perspective throughout.

Jake was also able to corral a few GameSpot After Dark listeners for a panel of judges to determine who won the debate who you can hear in this very episode–shouts out to y’all. If you want to join the GameSpot community, the After Dark podcast is a great place to start where you can get to know who we are and what happens behind the scenes (and also keep up with the latest and greatest in video games).

How To Transfer Xbox One Games And Saves To Series X/S

The Xbox Series X and Series S launched this week, marking a new generation and a significant upgrade from the previous gen. But this brave new era also marks a fuzzier line than console generations past, thanks to plentiful next-gen upgrades and backwards compatibility. You’ll want to carry your game progress forward, which means transferring your saves. And to do this, you have a few options.

Importing Cloud Saves

The easiest by far is to use Microsoft’s cloud saves. This is all taken care of automatically, and the save data is associated with your Xbox Live profile. An Xbox Live Gold subscription isn’t required for the cloud save functionality, so as long as you have any Xbox Live profile, your saves are uploading to the cloud automatically. That means that once you sign in to your Xbox Series X or Series S with your existing profile, the cloud saves will download and let you pick up right from where you left off.

Pokemon Go Makes It A Little Easier To Get Mega Energy

Mega Evolutions made their debut in Pokemon Go back in August, and since then, developer Niantic has been fine-tuning the feature to make it easier for more players to enjoy. Last month, the studio outlined a slate of changes it planned to implement in the game soon, and now some of those adjustments have gone live.

Most notably, you can now earn Mega Energy by walking with a Buddy Pokemon, provided you’ve previously Mega-Evolved a Pokemon in your Buddy’s evolutionary line. Before this, the only way to obtain Mega Energy was either by participating in Mega Raid Battles or completing certain Research tasks, so this change gives you a handy new option for collecting the energy.

That isn’t the only change that has been implemented. Players can now also earn extra Candy when they have an active Mega-Evolved Pokemon and catch another monster of the same type. You can read more about the changes on the official Pokemon website.

“No Threat Identified” At Evacuated Ubisoft Montreal Office, Following Police Operation

A police tactical intervention team is involved in an operation at Ubisoft Montreal headquarters. Although it was originally reported as a hostage situation by news outlets, official statements from authorities have not indicated that is the case. A tweet from the Montreal police says that it is responding to a 911 call and advises people to stay away from the area, but notes that no injuries have been reported thus far.

In the most recent statement, Montreal police said, “No threat has been identified for now. We are currently evacuating the building.”

Ubisoft has employees working both from home and from the office. Eric Pope, community developer on Hyper Scape, said he was on a call with employees who had to “leave abruptly.” Pope also pointed out seeing his team on the roof via the news, supporting the report that some employees fled through the roof exit. Another employee on Twitter said, “team here is safe,” but colleagues in another building are “still stuck.” Subsequent news footage showed people being evacuated from the building and loaded into a bus by police.
