It seems like one of Activision’s studios is escaping from the Call of Duty mines, with a rumored RPG potentially on the way

Image
Activision has almost exclusively focused its efforts on producing Call of Duty . Year in and year out, we get basically nothing else out of its three main studios (Sledgehammer Games, Treyarch, and Infinity Ward), and we haven't for a very, very long time. But that could be about to change, with Activision giving some attention to ideas and projects removed from its established arcade shooter formula and letting Sledgehammer develop an "action RPG" with lots of lore and worldbuilding. This is drawn from the LinkedIn profile of Ben Wanat , former creative director at Sledgehammer Games, who worked (naturally) on various Call of Duty projects during his tenure. The studio he was part of had a few games of its own in the franchise, but mostly supported other, bigger teams in making their own mainline entries like Modern Warfare and Black Ops .

Latest Deadlock overhaul turns Valve’s not-so-mysterious game into one of the most stylish titles of all time

Image
Deadlock continues its development cycle behind closed doors (if you've got no friends to open them for you, that is), with every few months bringing major changes to its core gameplay and art style. The latest overhaul was truly one for the history books, as it singlehandedly propelled the game almost to the very top of what I consider the most "stylish" games ever made. Deadlock 's new Old Gods, New Blood update brought along a total visual (and story) overhaul of the game's map, including both of the Patrons, the creeps, and everything in between. It is a complete stylistic shift, following previous updates that were increasingly stylized, embracing a genre blend that sits somewhere between late-19th-century New Orleans and early-20th-century New York (and all the cultural implications that might entail). Six new heroes are also coming into the fold, each a work of art, though players will have to wait a while before all of them are playable, since Valve ...
