The expansion was originally supposed to arrive sometime this year, but like so many other in-development games, it was eventually delayed because of the challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Today, we learned that QuakeCon 2021 is one of those events, as Bethesda has revealed that it will once again be an all-digital affair later this summer.
We're eating our hats today as Apple revealed a "new" iPhone at their Spring 2021 event. This new iPhone isn't so much completely new as it is a new color of a device that's already out in the wild. The iPhone 12 will now be available in Purple. And that's about that.
