As an old-school gamer with decades of gaming under my belt, let me tell you, this week has been nothing short of a rollercoaster ride! The new releases have got me all pumped up and ready to dive back into the virtual world.
This week, the stream of video game news continues, diving us into November. The past few days have seen a multitude of new arrivals, so let’s dive right in and explore them.
New game releases this week
Actually, we overlooked it the previous week, but Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 finally made its debut last Friday, October 25. It seems to be receiving some positive feedback as well, so if you’re a fan of Call of Duty games, you might want to give this one a try too.
Coming soon is “Dragon Age: The Veilguard”, launched on October 31st. As yet, player reviews haven’t been published on Metacritic, but critics’ reviews are generally favorable. IGN awarded it a score of 9/10, while Gamespot gave it a 7/10. However, I’m not sure if it will meet the high anticipation and expectations built up over a decade.

In the same email, they also announced the closure of Neon Koi, which is a mobile developer, which is something Sony’s only starting to dip their toes into.
Fandom and Gamespot layoffs

An interview with Machine Games
In an exclusive chat, Machine Games, the team behind “Indiana Jones and the Great Circle,” have shared some insights.
