With the beginning of December comes a new batch of PlayStation Plus games. 2021 has seen some solid months for PlayStation Plus and others that may have fallen short of expectations, but it seems that the service will end the year on a high note. As usual, there will be three games up for grabs in December, but they're joining some bonus PlayStation VR games that are carrying over from the previous month.
After months of working through the various Seasons in Fortnite Chapter 2, it looks like everything is about to come to an end. Epic Games has confirmed that Season 8 will be the last one for Chapter 2, so when that ends, so too will the whole Chapter. Presumably, we're going to see a massive change to Fortnite's map in the transition to Chapter 3, but what those changes haven't been revealed yet.
Battlefield 2042 has officially launched after a turbulent early access period. Alongside the full game, DICE has shipped a day-one patch, but unfortunately, the update is minor and doesn't appear to fix many issues players are having. While DICE promises that more updates are coming in the future, it seems the day-one patch hasn't been enough to save Battlefield 2042 from fan blowback.
Earlier this year, we learned that the Saints Row franchise is making a comeback. When this new game, which is simply titled Saints Row, was revealed, it was given a release date of February 25th, 2022, which seemed ambitious when it was announced. As it turns out, it was a little ambitious - at least for the COVID-19 era - as Saints Row has now been delayed.
It's not controversial to say that Elden Ring is highly anticipated. So anticipated is Elden Ring that scalpers have found a way to make a pretty penny on the game, even though it's not out until next year. Yes, it seems that reselling consoles, CPUs, and graphics cards with a significant price hike wasn't enough for the scalpers of the world, as they've also started selling codes to the Elden Ring network test, which is taking place this weekend.
Shortly after Cyberpunk 2077 released and fans expressed their discontent with the game, CD Projekt Red committed to fixing its various issues. When it made this commitment, it shared a roadmap that detailed its plans for updates, DLC, and the next-gen upgrades for 2021 and beyond. Today, however, we're learning that the remainder of the roadmap for 2021 has been delayed into 2022, suggesting Cyberpunk 2077 won't get any more major updates for the rest of the year.
November is shaping up to be a big month for PlayStation Plus. While we're getting the usual number of games for consoles, we're also getting three games for PlayStation VR. So, if you happen to have Sony's VR headset and you're subscribed to PlayStation Plus, that means you've got a total of six games you can potentially claim in November.
As announced last week, Sony is hosting another State of Play presentation later today. While the last one, which happened toward the beginning of September, focused mainly on first-party games heading to the PS5, this one will be quite a bit different. Today we'll hear more about third-party projects in the works for both PS5 and PS4, so whether you haven't managed to get your hands on the hard-to-find PS5 yet or are just sticking with the PS4 for now, this is still worth tuning into.
It hasn't been that long since the last PlayStation State of Play, but that isn't stopping Sony from hosting another one. Today, Sony announced that another State of Play will be happening next week. Still, unlike the previous one that focused primarily on PlayStation 5 games, this one will focus on upcoming games for both PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5.
Two very popular indie games are teasing a new crossover. Terraria and Don't Starve seem to be teasing a new team-up that will see bosses from those games appear in the other. While we don't have specifics just yet, it sounds like those details will be coming around the bend soon, as the developers behind both games are suggesting the crossover will go live sometime next month.
Earlier this month, Rockstar Games confirmed long-running rumors which claimed that it was working on modern remasters of Grand Theft Auto III and its two sequels, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. However, while Rockstar's announcement contained a fair number of details about the remastered trilogy - which is somewhat annoyingly called Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy - The Definitive Edition - it left one out one key detail: the release date.
Revealed earlier this year during Summer Game Fest, Tiny Tina's Wonderlands seems like something of a departure from the standard Borderlands formula. Today, we're getting a better idea of just how big of a departure it will be, as the very first developer diary has gone live with an overview of how Tiny Tina's Wonderlands will play. Alongside that, a new trailer dives into details such as combat, exploration, and even two of the character classes.
