The news, part two:

PvP MMO Crowfall is being shut down indefinitely to save it
https://www.pcgamer.com/pvp-mmo-crowfall-is-being-shut-down-indefinitely-to-save-it/
Kickstarted MMO Crowfall is shutting down this month after launching just over a year ago. Developer Monumental shared the news with players on Monday, giving them only a couple of weeks to make the most out of the game before it goes dark on November 22. This is not unusual on its own—it's a tragically common fate for online games. But what makes this instance stand out is that the team isn't calling it quits.

Ubisoft still says the Sands of Time remake hasn't been cancelled, but preorders have been refunded
https://www.pcgamer.com/ubisoft-still-says-the-sands-of-time-remake-hasnt-been-cancelled-but-preorders-have-been-refunded/
Ubisoft has once again affirmed that the Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time remake has not been cancelled. The company is so tired of people asking about it that it's created an entire FAQ that everyone can refer to if and when they have questions or doubts.

Cyberpunk 2077 patch prevents boobs from clipping through clothes

(...)
The game's patches mostly focus on bug fixes and small additions, and this is no exception. These are the full Cyberpunk 2077 patch 1.61 notes, and arguably the most striking fix is that, apparently, players who had the female V avatar and modified their chest size were finding that their new breasts clipped through their clothes.
Rejoice or, as the case may be, do not. CDPR says it has "fixed the issue where V's breasts clipped through clothes after changing their size at a Ripperdoc."

Bungie has given Destiny 2's buggiest gun an amazing easter egg
https://www.pcgamer.com/bungie-has-given-destiny-2s-buggiest-gun-an-amazing-easter-egg/
In the long and inglorious history of bugged PC gear, I'm not sure there has ever been a weapon so notoriously prone to fuckery as Destiny 2's Telesto. The intended function of this exotic fusion rifle is to spew out multiple bolts of void energy that explode after a short delay. Working correctly, it looks like Barney the Dinosaur being hit by a pipe bomb and is a great weapon for clearing waves of trash mobs. Telesto, however, has rarely worked correctly.

Halo Infinite's 'biggest update yet' finally adds campaign co-op and the Forge
https://www.pcgamer.com/halo-infinites-biggest-update-yet-finally-adds-campaign-co-op-and-the-forge/
Halo Infinite's winter update, described by developer 343 Industries as "the largest feature update to Halo Infinite yet," is now officially live. The update brings a number of major new features to the game, including campaign network co-op play, a new battle pass, and—this is the big one—beta access to Forge, Halo's long-awaited powerful creation tool.

Guild Wars 2 now lets you visit the city it destroyed in 2013 any time you like
https://www.pcgamer.com/guild-wars-2-just-resurrected-a-city-that-was-destroyed-in-2013/
All of Guild Wars 2's nine-year-long evolving story is finally replayable as of today. When ArenaNet first started its Living World episodes, they were limited-time story quests that became inaccessible after they ended. The developers have long since changed this strategy, allowing you to return to later episodes whenever you like. The very first Living World season remained inaccessible though—until today. You can finally replay Guild Wars 2's first explosive, world-changing season finale all over again.

EVE Online blows up an entire star and everyone around it to kick off a new inter-faction war
https://www.pcgamer.com/eve-online-blows-up-an-entire-star-and-everyone-around-it-to-kick-off-a-new-inter-faction-war/
Having apparently decided that there is just not enough conflict in EVE Online already, CCP Games has kicked off a new "narrative-driven expansion" called Uprising by basically blowing up a star and pushing its four major empires toward war.

Ubisoft may finally be planning a return to Steam
https://www.pcgamer.com/ubisoft-may-finally-be-planning-a-return-to-steam/
The last full Ubisoft game to release on Steam was Trials Rising in 2019. Since then, the publisher has released its new PC games exclusively on the Epic Games Store and Ubisoft Connect, and hasn't said if or when it'll start putting them on Steam again. If data gathered from the Ubisoft client backend indicates what it looks like it indicates, however, Ubisoft may be knocking on Gabe's door again.
>> Well, well, well...

This is totally, definitely, 100% the final Terraria update everybody. Promise. For the sixth time, the 2D survival sandbox is receiving its last-ever update, complete with a bonus cheeky crossover.

EU expands investigation into Microsoft's acquisition of Activision-Blizzard
https://www.pcgamer.com/eu-expands-investigation-into-microsofts-acquisition-of-activision-blizzard/
The European Union Commission has opened an in-depth investigation into Microsoft's proposed takeover of Activision Blizzard. As we've been seeing in other jurisdictions, the concern is that the deal may "significantly reduce competition" in the gaming market, and give Microsoft the ability to "foreclose access to Activision Blizzard's console and PC video games" such as Call of Duty.

Modern Warfare 2's new anti-toxicity tools are 'foundational' for CoD's future
https://www.pcgamer.com/modern-warfare-2s-new-anti-toxicity-tools-are-foundational-for-cods-future/
Activision Blizzard has detailed the new anti-toxicity features introduced with Modern Warfare II, which it says will be "foundational for all future Call of Duty titles going forward". Essentially this is an overhauled in-game reporting system, combined with new tools for the publisher's moderation teams to deal with problem players.
