The Ghost Recon series goes back to 2001, but due to lackluster sales of the most recent entry in the series, Ghost Recon Breakpoint, Ubisoft has been prompted to reevaluate their development and support for the series. While the previous entry, 2017’s Ghost Recon: Wildlands, currently holds a score of 79 on Metacritic and received critical praise, Ubisoft may have been a bit too eager to put out a sequel to a “live” game that was receiving new content into this current year. Yves Guillemot, CEO and co-founder of Ubisoft, even highlighted this in a recent financial update to investors.. In response to the lackluster review and sale combination, Ubisoft’s Ghost Recon development team issued a lengthy statement laying out the new support plan.

In a recent financial discussion, Ubisoft announced that their 2019 titles - The Division 2 and Ghost Recon Breakpoint - both underperformed. As a result, Ubisoft is reevaluating the development time needed for their upcoming games, Rainbow Six Quarantine and Watch_Dogs Legion. Unfortunately, this means both titles will be delayed to Fiscal Year “2020-21.”

The content flow for World War Z continues to roll out with the completely free Kill It With Fire update. This update includes two new PvE maps that see players trying to escape the Hudson river and the dark tunnels below Moscow, as well as cosmetic options being added to PvP, a new Prestige system that lets you work towards special perks and weapon skins, and, as the name implies, a new flamethrower weapon. This update is available now across Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC.

Cococumber's voxel-styled action-RPG, Riverbond, will arrive on the Nintendo Switch next month, which has been out on PC, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4 since June. Its debut on the Switch isn't the only piece of news here, though, as there will also be a free content update, "Crystalwatch," that will release the same day for all versions of the game.

Total Mayhem Games has kicked off a four part developer diary series that's focused on how they approached the overall co-op experience for We Were Here Together. It's not often we get to hear this much from a developer about how they set about making a game that is cooperative through and through.

As you've probably seen from our past few "Weekend in Gaming" posts, many of us can't get enough of the Shadowkeep expansion for Destiny 2. Last week, Bungie kicked off the annual "Festival of the Lost," which is basically the in-game version of Halloween, as well as the new three player dungeon, "Pit of Heresy." We decided to hop into both of these to get into the spooky spirit... a few days after Halloween.

While the first bit of co-op news out of this year's BlizzCon was on the cheerier side, the second bit is definitely not. Diablo IV is coming to PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One, and... I'd say Blizzard got the "feedback" about Diablo III's art direction/style.

Blizzard held its annual convention, aka BlizzCon, this past weekend and had a couple big co-op announcements. The first of these is Overwatch 2, which will be heading to PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch sometime in the future. While there are some visual and gameplay tweaks, the part we're most interested in are the new PvE Story and Hero missions.

Can you think of a better way to spend your Saturday than playing co-op games all day and raising donations to heal sick kids? If not, then ditch whatever you had planned for this Saturday (11/2) and sign up for Extra Life! It's a fun way to do what you love and raise donations for a great cause. All donations to Extra Life go straight to the hospital you choose during registration.

The cat-heavy RPG, Cat Quest II, has finally arrived on the consoles complete with its own launch trailer, which can be found below.

Minecraft Dungeons is set for a 2020 release and, with 2019 coming to a close, we have finally been given a small taste as to what next year’s title will bring. In the new developer’s video log the team at Mojang laid out the direction of the upcoming Action-RPG, explaining that players will equip items to alter their character’s abilities, use enchantments to alter items, and more. Feel free to check out the nearly five minute video in full below!

With what is an extremely subtle nod to the spooky season, Tropico 6 has changed some of the minor aesthetics of the game to reflect these pumpkin-filled times we’re living in. As seen in the images, Tropico 6 has taken a path that allows their core game to stay intact while giving players something festive but not game-altering to enjoy. This update is available now until November 7th and comes to Tropico 6 across Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC.
