Farewell, World's Edge. Apex Legends shoots off into Season 7 next week, leaving the volcanic hotbed behind for a picturesque park in the clouds. A launch trailer for the new season takes us on a whirlwind tour of Olympus, gives the game's first vehicle a test drive, and shows off more of Season 7's time-travelling gun mom Horizon.

It's all gotten rather scary on the Sea Of Thieves. Well, scarier than normal for a game already bursting with skeletons.

Somehow, improbably, the Anthem train continues to grind slowly forward: Electronic Arts posted a new update today that digs into some of the work that's gone into redesigning the game's Javelins, the flying power suits that players strap themselves into before heading off onto their adventures outside Fort Tarsis.

CD Projekt boss says Cyberpunk 2077 crunch is 'not that bad—and never was'

In May 2019, CD Projekt promised a "more humane" approach to crunch on Cyberpunk 2077, saying it had embraced a "non-obligatory crunch policy" that, while not eliminating crunch, would at least curb some of its death-march excesses. CD Projekt Red co-CEO Marcin Iwiński recommitted to that approach a month later, saying, "We want to make sure that there will be no guilt when people will be leaving early if they need to, in case we ask some people to stay."

It's probably not the best sign when 'Ubisoft launch' has become gamer shorthand for "give it a week or two." Obviously some of the bugs and glitches of Watch Dogs: Legion should be viewed with a sense of proportion: these are incredibly complex products, and watching a motorbike randomly spin into the sky can be as amusing as it is annoying. It's unclear just how serious Legion's faults are though: there was a game-breaking-bug on Xbox, while the game's general PC performance currently leaves an enormous amount to be desired.

There was a Half-Life easter egg in Titanfall 2 all this time
https://www.pcgamer.com/there-was-a-half-life-easter-egg-in-titanfall-2-all-this-time/
Yesterday was the fourth anniversary of Titanfall 2, still one of the most fun and fresh FPS campaigns of recent times. The highlight of that campaign, for me and many others, is a level called Effect and Cause. To ruin the surprise, it's an environment constructed around zipping back-and-forth between two timelines as you navigate through it.
