The recent Amazon layoffs heavily affected its gaming division, and now a former developer's LinkedIn post implies that the Lord of the Rings MMO in development has no one working on it and is likely cancelled. The wording on the now-unavailable post by a former senior gameplay engineer doesn't explicitly confirm cancellation, and Amazon hasn't formally announced it—unlike how they announced New World will no longer receive updates. However, it's understood that everyone, or at least most people working on the LOTR game, is no longer at Amazon due to being included in the 14,000 cuts announced last Tuesday. https://twitter.com/IntelMMO/status/1983907058526068763/ This is the second time Amazon has failed to release this Lord of the Rings MMO. Back in 2021, after two years of development, the company announced the first cancellation shortly after Tencent acquired one of their partner developers in China, Leyou Technologies. Following this acquisition, Amazon ...

New World is officially in maintenance mode following massive layoffs at Amazon Games, which saw some 14,000 jobs cut, including those tied to the MMO. Mentions of AI and the sudden nature of this move threw players into an uproar, and they are now actively review-bombing the game. As we covered yesterday , New World , Amazon's MMO and WoW rival, is going into maintenance. The game won't receive any new content from here on, which could be an overture into a complete shutdown in the coming months. The game came out in 2021 and was (and is) far from dead, peaking at around 40,000 players daily, which is a lot more than most games can hope for. It's a fairly large community, and the sudden nature of this move has sparked total outrage, leading players to review bomb the game's Steam page. As a result, the reviews are now "Mixed" both in the recent and the overall categories. The former is on the verge of dipping into the "Mostly Negative" bracke...

Battlefield REDSEC introduces battle royale content for fans to enjoy. While you can mix and match between the guns you find on the ground, you can also bring over your favorite builds in the form of custom loadouts. Custom loadouts are pre-built kits that you previously made in Battlefield 6 . This can be made with any class and weapon combination that you feel can do well on the meta. In REDSEC , using custom loadouts is entirely possible, and this guide will help you out with the method. How to get custom loadouts in Battlefield REDSEC For starters, you'll need to have at least one custom loadout saved before you can carry it over to REDSEC . No, you don't jump into the battlefield with your personalized loadouts. Instead, you can activate them in one of two known ways.

This can land you with some great rewards like tank keys, but some of them can also reward you with a custo...

Pizza is a classic gaming snack, and Call of Duty is a classic game, so why not combine the two? Black Ops 7 and Little Caesars had the same exact idea. And as part of this year's collaboration, gamers can unlock special skins and prizes in CoD with their orders at the delicious Detroit-based pizza chain. It's a win-win situation. Here's what we know so far about the Black Ops 7 Little Caesars collaboration. Black Ops 7 Little Caesars codes Image via Little Caesars The BO7 collab with Little Caesars works the same way as it did last year for Black Ops 6.

Like last year, each code redeemed will reward double XP tokens along with the random chance at even more items, like the anticipated pizza-theme...

The Pending Connection Failure error can be a frustrating experience for RV There Yet players if you're playing with your friends. Typically, the indie title is best played with friends, with one of you acting as the host.

However, missing your swing and getting hit instead can cause an accidental death. You can u...

The Outer Worlds 2 is upon us, improving substantially on the foundations laid by its predecessor, and coming close to Obsidian's peak achievement, Fallout: New Vegas . But, being an Obsidian game, and a first-person one at that, players are probably going to want to use a lot of mods and console commands. However, the console does not come enabled by default in this game, so here's how you can start using any command that you might need to enhance your experience. The Outer Worlds 2 console commands and cheats guide Sometimes, things can get too heated or tedious, prompting you to look for cheats.

The first time I played Pokémon Legends: Arceus , I understood why it's a game separate from the standard naming conventions of other Pokémon games. The colon after "Pokémon Legends" in the title hinted that more games could come in the future, and I was excited to see how Arceus was different from the mainline games. Legends: Arceus introduced complex exploration, crafting, and a more natural way to interact with Pokémon in wide-open areas that I would almost call an open world. It painted a picture in my head that this is what Pokémon Legends would be all about. Perhaps other games in the series would explore time travel or alternate timelines. Just as PLA takes us to the ancient times of cataloging and studying Pokémon, I imagined future games exploring different eras or dimensions. So this new series had an identity in my mind: a game focused on a good legend, with intricate mechanics and a more mature storyline than the other mainline games. Your legend is ...

Remember that Battlefield 6 trailer that made fun of Call of Duty's incessant need for celebrity cameos in its marketing? This Black Ops 7 trailer proves their point in a big way. The BO7 launch trailer brings back Peter Stormare as "The Replacer," AKA the guy who replaces you at your job so you can stay home and play CoD . But this time, he's joined by a very interesting selection of celebrity cameos that have been a hit or miss with fans. Screenshot by Destructoid First up, we have  Love Island  season seven's Huda Mustafa ("first baddie in space"), w ho has continued on the path of her lucrative influencer career even after losing out on the show in its finale. And honestly? Good for her. But then there's Jake Paul, the short-form video creator who's gone on to terrorize the world as a very selective boxer. In the video, the crew heads into space to inhabit Mars to "populate a Martian colony that will become the bedrock for hu...

The wait for the newest Call of Duty is now down to just less than three weeks, and Treyarch is already talking about the first content drop coming post-launch in Black Ops 7. CoD bringing back old maps is nothing new, especially considering that it feels like Nuketown makes its way into seemingly every Treyarch game. But one of the maps coming in season one specifically hasn't been brought back since Black Ops 2. Screenshot by Destructoid Meltdown is coming alongside fellow BO2 classic Standoff as two of seven new maps in season one of BO7 , which should begin a few weeks after the game launches on Nov. 14. And I'm pretty pumped, because the memories I have tied to both of these maps are substantial. Standoff was a perfect map for competitive modes like Capture the Flag or Domination back in the day, but Meltdown was specifically one of the better Search and Destroy maps that the series has ever seen. For my money, it's one of the most underrated maps there is...

Ten years after first launching, Fallout 4 is getting a whole new release, now titled as the Anniversary Edition . This follows Bethesda's previously-established re-release scheme which took on the most extreme form with Skyrim , which you can literally play on your fridge. But does this new Anniversary Edition bring anything new to the table or is it just another rehash? Here's all you need to know. Fallout 4 Anniversary Edition, explained Can you believe it's been a decade already? Image via Bethesda Fallout 4: Anniversary Edition is launching as a celebration of Fallout 4 's 10th birthday, with the original game coming out in 2015.

You can reroll in Chaos Zero Nightmare using a Guest account. The first moment when you can pull characters from banners is after about 20 minutes of gameplay, when you clear the Chaos tutorial and see a message saying the Lobby has been unlocked.
