Halo Infinite Season 2 launches on May 3, bringing new modes, maps, and a fresh battle pass. The name of the new Season is Lone Wolves, featuring armor cores and lore revolving around spartans that like to work alone.

In a blog post, 343 Industries laid out its priorities for updating the game as well as teasing some of the content coming in Season 2. The current number-one priority for the studio is the “Hotlist,” which includes issues actively making the multiplayer experience worse for people. Some examples of these issues are not having score based player progression and the problems that plagued Big Team Battle for over a month.

After that is priority two, which is launching Season 2: Lone Wolves on May 3. Season 2 will include two maps: one Arena map called Catalyst and one BTB map called Breaker. There will also be three new modes; Last Spartan Standing, a free-for-all version of Elimination, Land Grab, and King of the Hill. 343 Industries will share more about the content coming in Season 2 in April.

The Season 2 battle pass will include both paid and free customization options for the new Lone Wolves armor core, which will be free to all players. Concept art for the Season 2 battle pass shows off Spartan Sigrid Eklund and and Spartan Hieu Dinh. It was also revealed that campaign co-op will not release at the launch of Season 2, but will instead come later during the season. Forge mode is still set to release at the start of Season 3.

The next World of Warcraft expansion will be revealed April 19, with the official reveal of Blizzard’s Warcraft mobile game coming in May.

Additional details on the new expansion are scarce, with Blizzard in a blog post only stating that it’s “excited to show you what we’ve been working on and where your adventures in Azeroth will go next.”

The final part of the last raid for the game’s current Shadowlands expansion, the Sepulcher of the First Ones, will unlock March 8. Blizzard didn’t allow players to test the final raid battles on the game’s public test realm, meaning boss mechanics and new story details (including hints as to where the game’s story will go next) are still a mystery.

Based on past comments from Blizzard, fans have speculated the next expansion will return players to Azeroth following the cosmic-afterlife adventures of Shadowlands. Normally the game’s next expansion is known long before the final raid of the current expansion, as Blizzard typically would announce new content at its annual BlizzCon event in November. Instead, 2021 saw a BlizzConline event, with something similar planned for early 2022. That ultimately didn’t come to pass, with this year’s BlizzCon canceled for reasons likely including the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and recent sexual harassment and discrimination lawsuits. Blizzard has stated it will be taking the time normally used for planning the event to instead reimagine its future.

Blizzard’s mobile Warcraft game has been in the works for several years now. What it will entail exactly is unclear, but Blizzard is making the important distinction of stating that the game is set in the Warcraft universe but does not seem to be directly related to World of Warcraft proper.

Players who want to get some more information out of their scoreboard in Battlefield 2042 should be looking forward to tomorrow’s patch for the game. Update 3.3 for Battlefield 2042 throws a brand-new, information-filled scoreboard into the troubled shooter, as well as a handout from DICE to thank players for their “loyalty.”

Tomorrow’s rollout of a new scoreboard marks the addition of one of the many legacy features that the game’s players have requested. It includes a match overview tab on the leftmost side, which offers a detailed breakdown of points and deaths for each team, as well as personal stats and ribbon progression. The scoreboard itself offers a similarly detailed breakdown of the performance of everyone in the game, showing scores, kills, deaths, assists, and more.

What’s new in Update 3.3?
🛠️ Updates to the Scoreboard, such as now showing Kills, Assists and Deaths in Match Overview
🏆 The Steadfast Exclusive Legendary Bundle becomes available for eligible players

— Battlefield Direct Communication (@BattlefieldComm) March 7, 2022

Battlefield 2042’s scoreboard should also let players know how many bots are on their or the enemy’s team.

Sadly, tomorrow’s update for Battlefield 2042 won’t include any other features that players have requested. It’s not clear when more game modes, like Rush, will be added to the game, along with basic features like in-game voice chat.

As a thank you to players who have stuck with Battlefield 2042 through its launch, the game’s developer has a package of cosmetics for certain players. Anyone who purchased the game’s Gold Edition, Ultimate Edition, Year 1 Pass, or Year 1 Pass and Ultimate Pack upgrade before February 1, as well as EA Play Pro subscribers, will receive the Steadfast Exclusive Legendary Bundle. There isn’t anything game-changing in the bundle, which consists of weapon and vehicle cosmetics, a new skin for one of the game’s Specialists, and a new knife.

Mere hours after it launched, Clan Elysium became the first team to successfully clear the new Vow of the Disciple raid in Destiny 2: The Witch Queen. This isn’t the first time that Elysium has beaten a raid before anyone else, having previously cleared the revamped Vault of Glass that debuted last year in May. This latest feat makes the group the first team to earn a world’s first completion on back-to-back raids.

For the uninitiated, raids are one of the most challenging activities in Destiny 2, as they combine intense action with lethal puzzles. The final boss fights of raids usually merge all of these elements together for an epic showdown, as well as a highlight reel of cool moments. Elysium’s run took over seven hours from start to finish, which was played on a competitive mode that made the playing field even for all challengers in the raid.

After Elysium’s victory and verification from Bungie, the team walked away with bragging rights and a championship belt:

World’s First Vow of the Disciple raid belt

Elysium’s victory wasn’t smooth sailing, as the clan was racing against other teams and had persistent connection troubles at the start. Elysium faced connectivity issues for the first two hours of the latest raid race, but the group bounced back to clinch an impressive victory. With The Disciple vanquished, Elysium also unlocked new story content for every other Destiny 2 player to take part in.

A few weeks into The Witch Queen expansion, the game is charting exciting new territory for fans of Bungie’s space-saga. Twists in the Witch Queen campaign have players wondering if they’re becoming the bad guys, and Bungie is confident that earlier narrative fumbles have allowed the team to evolve and grow the story to ambitious new heights from those early missteps.

In addition to that, some fine-tuning under the hood of the game will soon see an increase in rare weapon crafting materials like Ascendant Alloy increased, when the next patch goes live.

Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga celebrates several decades of the iconic sci-fi franchise, and if nine films’ worth of gameplay isn’t enough for you, then the good news is that post-launch DLC will flesh that galaxy out even further. Sadly, there’s no content dedicated specifically to the real MVP of Star Wars, Jar Jar Binks.

What will be available though are multiple character packs, which can be purchased individually or as part of the Character Collection. The Mandalorian content features the fan-favorite mercenary as a playable character and Grogu as a non-playable character. Sorry to burst your Force-bubble, Baby Yoda fans.

For the Solo: A Star Wars Story character pack, you’ll be able to play as the younger versions of Han Solo, Chewbacca, and Lando Calrissian, as well as Qi’ra, Tobias Beckett, and Enfys Nest. These two packs will be available from launch day.

The Classic Characters pack will be available for everyone on April 19, while The Trooper Pack is a bonus early access collection of Imperial characters for anyone who preordered the digital version of the game. and will then be released to everyone else from May 4.

Also out on April 19 is the Rogue One: A Star Wars Story pack and Star Wars Day on May 4 will add has two more character packs from The Mandalorian Season 2 and The Bad Batch, expanding the roster to a size that puts Anakin Skywalker’s Midichlorian-count to shame. Hey, it’s still canon.

Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga launches on April 5 for Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PC, PS5, PS4, and Switch. While some of the news surrounding the game and its ambitious scope has been positive–like weapons that literally make “pew pew” noises–there have been reports of an intense crunch culture at developer TT Games and allegations of constant developer burnout.

Just days before it was meant to launch, Ubisoft has delayed The Settlers to an indefinite date. According to developer Ubisoft Dusseldorf, the feedback received from January’s closed beta prompted the studio to delay its plans to release The Settlers on March 17.

“As we went through this feedback, it became clear to our team that the quality wasn’t yet in line with the team’s vision,” the studio wrote. “Therefore, we took the decision to postpone the launch of the game to a later date. The additional time will be used to further improve the game and push quality as our main priority for all our players.”

First announced in August 2018 and aiming for a 2019 release, details surrounding development on the city-building strategy game have been kept under wraps for years now. This marks the third time that The Settlers has been delayed, and the second time that it was slapped with an indefinite release date. Based on the decades-old franchise, this new incarnation of The Settlers is being developed on Ubisoft’s Snowdrop engine, the same software that powers games such as The Division 2 and the upcoming Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora.

The last game in the core series was The Settlers 7: Paths to a Kingdom, which was released all the way back in 2010. Three DLC packs were added to the game over several months–Uncharted Land, Conquest: The Empire, and Rise of the Rebellion–with everything eventually being bundled into a deluxe edition in 2011.

Afterward, The Settlers: Kingdoms of Anteria was scheduled for release in 2014 but Ubisoft and developer Blue Byte pulled the plug on the original version of that game after receiving negative reception from the closed beta. That title would eventually be redesigned into an action-RPG that was released in 2016 as the standalone Champions of Anteria.

The Settlers is currently available for preorder with two available versions, a $60 standard edition or an $80 deluxe edition. The deluxe edition includes a digital artbook, soundtrack, in-game item skins, a 3-day Shard Booster, a unique title, and more.

ASUS has been building notebooks for the creator market for several years now, and today we are looking at the Vivobook Pro 15 OLED. The name kind of gives away the special feature of this device but including a 15.6-inch OLED display adds a major punch to the offering. Although OLED has not taken over the PC industry like it has the smartphone world, there is really nothing like the stunning contrast ratio OLED provides, as well as the wider color gamut most OLED devices support.

The Witch Queen expansion, Destiny 2‘s latest chapter, is the culmination of an approach to the game’s story that developer Bungie has been honing for some time. Between the expansion and Destiny 2’s recent seasonal offerings, the game’s storytelling is the best it’s ever been. But the seven-year history of Destiny and Destiny 2 also has its share of storytelling failures–and Bungie needed those failures to get to this point, the studio says.

In the past, Destiny 2 has seen its sprawling narrative of immortal heroes fighting god-like aliens divided into discrete chapters and mostly unrelated chunks. The Witch Queen, however, is something else–a conclusion of threads the developer has weaved throughout the game for years, and a story that was built up through developments in seasonal content episodes that have been coming to the game since Fall 2020.

Now entering its fifth year, the current Destiny 2 story feels strikingly different from what was on offer just one expansion earlier. Year 4’s seasons were thematically linked, spinning stories that looked at distinct aspects and characters in the game world, but which were all ultimately pieces of a puzzle that was building toward The Witch Queen. Its story feels like one that’s only possible as a live-service game or MMO, where the game world changes and evolves over time, and the story evolves along with it.

That wasn’t always the case, though, and despite having vast, fascinating, and well-written lore offerings inside and outside the game, narrative was long one of the Destiny series’ weakest elements. The improvement in the series’ storytelling has come in increments over time–notably with The Taken King expansion in the original Destiny, which brought more lore to the forefront; with Destiny 2’s Forsaken expansion, which put a big focus on characters’ thoughts and feelings by telling a revenge story; and with the shift to seasonal storytelling, which brought unfolding, week-to-week narratives to the game. The most dramatic improvement has come in the last year, with seasonal stories that were consistently strong and an expansion in Beyond Light that focused on ideological conflicts as much as military ones.

“It took time for Destiny to understand what Destiny needed to be, and then it took time to make Destiny what we knew it needed to be,” Guillaume Colomb, senior narrative lead at Bungie, said in a recent roundtable interview attended by GameSpot and other outlets. “At first, the game was pulling in different directions and I think the team in their heart knew what it needed to be, but there weren’t a lot of other games out there that were similar, so it just took time to get there. And I think that’s why Destiny is so unique and special, because it’s not like we can have that idea and make the game right away. It took seven years, because it takes seven years to do something that good–because we had to fail several times to understand what was the right way to do things.”

According to Colomb, what Destiny 2 players are seeing now is the image Bungie developers had in their heads when they originally conceived the game nearly a decade ago. There were successes along the way, he said, and those helped Bungie chart a course in what was largely an unexplored format for telling stories in a video game.

There’s also more going on than Destiny 2’s developers and writers trying different storytelling approaches, as The Witch Queen project lead Blake Battle explained. The story, as with all aspects of Destiny, is refined through developer intention, as well as feedback from the player community.

“I definitely don’t think the story of Destiny [as a game] is a best-laid plan, I think it’s a story of an ongoing relationship with our players and that’s been one of the key components of a live game,” he said. “Starting way back from D1, we’ve continued to respond to feedback and see the game that players want it to be.”

There are other elements that are working in Bungie’s favor, as well. The studio has found better ways to tell Destiny 2’s story over time, especially with its episodic seasonal approach. Those allow the writers to tell more personal stories to the game’s characters, focusing on a few at a time. Narrative director Adam Grantham also said that setting an end date for Destiny 2’s current story–Bungie has announced two more expansions for the game, Lightfall and The Final Shape–has allowed the studio to be very deliberate about where the story is headed. Part of what makes The Witch Queen feel impactful and important to the overall Destiny 2 narrative is that Bungie has been able to set up the eventual confrontation with Savathun over the course of more than a year.

Bungie has been working on developing Savathun’s story for about 18 months, Grantham said, and that degree of planning offered a lot of opportunities to lay the expansion’s groundwork in the game before it actually launched. But another important aspect of The Witch Queen’s story, which is somewhat different from what Bungie has done in the past, is its ability to pull from story elements that were previously reserved for lore and bring them to the forefront. The Witch Queen’s campaign heavily references the origins of the Hive, which are lore elements that were introduced as far back as The Taken King in 2015, but mostly existed in optional text players had to seek out and read. The story campaign makes those elements part of the main narrative, enlarging the universe for players who aren’t familiar with the lore and drawing connections to the present story for those who are. That’s a big part of what made The Witch Queen’s story meaningful for long-time players, Battle said.

“We’re fortunate enough to be in a time in Destiny right now where we’re able to reap a lot of what’s been sewn over the course of seven years,” Grantham said.

Pulling those lore threads has made the world of Destiny 2 feel a little more cohesive, but while setup for Savathun goes all the way back to The Taken King, and tidbits that would become relevant were peppered throughout Destiny 2’s vanilla release, it doesn’t mean that lore was written with a future expansion in mind.

“Destiny being a live game, we always have to think about feeding the lore, and we don’t necessarily create new lore thinking, ‘Oh, that thing in three years, that’ll become a big release,'” Colomb said. “We’d hope that it’s a pretty good piece of lore, I hope we’re going to use it, and sometimes we think that and we’re wrong. And sometimes there’s something that doesn’t feel as important at the time, but suddenly takes on a lot of relevance with the release we’re working on as a theme that matches that. So we’re always looking into lore that we have, and we always try to create new lore and feed it in a way that expands the universe and that other people maybe, in the future, can grab for stories.”

Grantham likened Bungie’s approach to Destiny 2 to a quote from novelist George R. R. Martin, who said he thought of writers as falling into two camps: gardeners and architects. Gardeners plant ideas and see what becomes of them; architects construct their stories according to more rigid specifications. For Destiny, both sides are true–The Witch Queen was an architected story, set up by season after season of stories that finally culminated in the expansion. But it was also the product of seeds planted years earlier that became something the team might not have expected at the time.

And that might be why it has taken Destiny 2’s story so much time to really come into its own–and why the result has felt like nothing else in video games. Every past failure was a learning experience, and the ideas from Destiny’s past have served to feed its future.

“It takes time for us, also, to understand the story we want to tell, and the world of Destiny is a place that we are discovering, in a way–a little bit before the players, but still, it’s not like we understand everything,” Colomb said. “We still discover, and there is a lot to discover still.”

This story involves reports of sexual harassment, abuse, and suicide.

Following Activision Blizzard coming under fire over claims of equal pay violations, sex discrimination, and sexual harassment, the company is now being sued by the family of one of its former employees who died by suicide in 2017.

According to The Washington Post, the family of Kerri Moynihan–a former finance manager at Activision Blizzard–is now suing the company for her wrongful death. Moynihan was found dead during a company retreat back in 2017. The family says the sexual harassment Moynihan experienced while working at Activision Blizzard was a “significant factor” in her death by suicide, which occurred shortly after her male co-workers circulated nude images of her. In the official 2021 California Department of Fair Employment and Housing lawsuit which first made mention of the incident, one of Moynihan’s supervisors was also accused of contributing to this sexual harassment by bringing sex toys with him on a business trip Moynihan accompanied him on.

In addition to these claims, Moynihan’s parents have also accused their daughter’s boss, Greg Restituito, of lying to investigators from the Anaheim Police Department about the nature of his relationship with Moynihan. According to Moynihan’s parents, Restituito and their daughter had a sexual relationship that he “made an apparent effort to hide” following her death. A police report included in the lawsuit also stated that Restituito made “seemingly unusual inquiries with other employees who were present with [Kerri] the night preceding her death.” Moynihan’s parents also stated that following their daughter’s death, Activision Blizzard reported Moynihan’s cellphone as “wiped,” refused to give investigators her company-issued laptop, and withheld access to Restituito’s laptop and cellphone.

Shortly after the reports of Activision Blizzard’s alleged role in Moynihan’s death surfaced last year, the company called the claims “distorted, and in many cases false.” Activision Blizzard then criticized the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing for including mention of the suicide, writing “We are sickened by the reprehensible conduct of the DFEH to drag into the complaint the tragic suicide of an employee whose passing has no bearing whatsoever on this case and with no regard for her grieving family.”

Per The Washington Post’s report, Activision Blizzard has declined to respond directly to the allegations made in the Moynihan’s lawsuit. Instead, a spokesperson has stated the company is “deeply saddened by the tragic death of Ms. Moynihan, who was a valued member of the company. We will address the complaint through the legal process as appropriate, and out of respect for the family we have no further comment at this time.”

The most recent addition to Lost Ark’s roster of classes in the Korean version, the Sorceress, was included at launch for players of Smilegate’s free-to-play MMORPG in the West. As such, she’s been a popular pick for new players looking for a casting-based entry point into the world of Arkesia. She’s a hard-hitting DPS that fulfills the fantasy of a spell-slinging glass cannon, a class that lacks defense but packs a huge punch to make up for it.

There are two main ways to build a Sorceress for PVE, each defined by the class’ two class-specific engravings. One focuses on delivering some truly massive damage during very specific burst windows (and as a result requires more precise timing and coordination) while the other offers more steady, consistent damage at the cost of forgoing a key Sorceress ability–Arcane Rupture. Figuring out which build to strive for can be a challenge, so this guide will dive into what each class engraving does, which skills complement those engravings, and how to play each build effectively.

Sorceress Igniter Build

If you want to deal as much damage as possible in a small window of time, this is the Sorceress build for you. Revolving around the Igniter class engraving, this build focuses on amping up the class’ Arcane Rupture identity ability. As you deal damage, the class identity gauge fills, allowing you to activate Arcane Rupture, boosting damage dealt and reducing skill cooldown times. If activated when the identity gauge is at 100%, this ability becomes even more powerful.

When playing an Igniter Sorceress, you’ll want to wait to use Arcane Rupture when it’s gauge is at 100% to maximize damage, as your Igniter engraving will further reduce ability cooldowns and increase the crit rate and crit damage of your abilities. You’ll want to be using your hardest hitting skills (which also have the longest cooldowns) in conjunction with Arcane Rupture to deal massive amounts of damage. The only downside is your burst windows will often be small depending on the encounter, and should you happen to miss your target, you’ll be contributing little to your party’s success.

If you’re up for a high-risk, high-reward playstyle, below are some of the skills and their corresponding Tripods you’ll want to consider using for an Igniter Sorceress. Aside from some key abilities like Doomsday, Explosion, and Punishing Strike, feel free to experiment with whatever abilities fit your playstyle. When it comes to stat priority for gear, focus on accumulating as much Specialization as possible, followed by Crit and Swiftness. You’ll want to equip the Igniter engraving (obviously) as well as All-Out Attack (which boosts casting or holding skills) or Grudge (a huge boost to damage dealt at the cost of receiving more damage) to further increase your damage output. Note that upon hitting level 50 you likely won’t have all the skill points you need to unlock all three Tripods for each of your selected abilities, so focus first on maxing out your hardest-hitting skills (like Doomsday and Explosion) and go from there.

Sorceress Reflux Build

Playing a Reflux Sorceress is the opposite of the Igniter playstyle. Instead of saving all of your cooldowns for specific burst windows, you’ll be dishing out continual and steady damage throughout the duration of any encounter. While a downside of going the Reflux route is you won’t be engaging with your class’s Arcane Rupture ability (the Reflux engraving disables it), you do get the added benefit of a small boost to your damage and cooldown reduction at all times. Since you don’t have to worry about saving your identity gauge to activate Arcane Torrent, you can also use your Blink ability to your heart’s content, giving you more survivability and more options for getting out of harm’s way. This is by far an easier playstyle and one more suited for players new to the game and the class.

While many of the skills and engravings you’ll be using as a Reflux build are the same as the Igniter, you’ll want to change your Tripods away from anything that helps increase your identity gauge and instead prioritize ones that increase damage and crit chance. Instead of focusing primarily on Specialization stats-wise, you’ll want to go after Crit first and foremost, with Swiftness as a second priority. When it comes to engravings, make sure to level up the Reflux engraving as quickly as you can and equip it. Like the Igniter, you’ll want to grab Grudge as well for a solid damage boost. If you need a little extra crit, Precision Dagger is a solid choice, as is Master of Strikes, which boosts the damage of skills that don’t benefit from “front” or “back” attacks (which applies to most Sorceress skills).

Awakening Skills

Sorceress has two Awakening skills to choose from. The first can be unlocked shortly after reaching level 50 and making your way to Vern Castle, while the other can’t be unlocked until progressing further in the storyline. Thankfully, the first Awakening skill, Enviska’s Might, is a great choice. It deals good damage and has a wide area of effect, making it a consistent and reliable choice.

Sorceress’ second Awakening ability, Apocalypse Call, summons meteors from the sky to rain down on the battlefield. While visually impressive and technically capable of dealing more damage overall, the fact that the meteors are fairly spread out means some have a high chance of missing their target. Since Awakening abilities have an extremely long cooldown, most players tend to go with Enviska’s Might rather than roll the dice on Apocalypse Call. The choice of which Awakening skill to use with either the Ignitor or Reflux Sorceress build is ultimately up to you.
