The first DLC for Zombie Army 4: Dead War arrives today. "Terror Lab" is the first mission in a new three-part campaign (Hell Cult) that will be released over the course of the next few months. Also available today are some new character and weapon skins, new weapons (submachine gun and a semi-auto carbine), along with what appears to be a new playable character, the "American Sea Captain." All of this is included in the $35 Season Pass, or it can be purchased separately. If you're not interested in any of that, then there's a new Horde Map, Undead Wood, available for free.

Dead Mage Studios' rogue-lite action-RPG, Children of Morta, will be getting some free (and paid) content over the next several months. The developer recently released a roadmap that shows their plans to add more to the game, including a feature we're all fans of around here: online co-op.

World War Z’s first season of content just ended last month and already developer Saber Interactive has released their roadmap for the second season of free content with a simple, easy to read image, which can be found below. There's no specific timeline provided for all this, just "Q4 2019,” so it will not be long to wait before hordes of new content comes crashing into World War Z across Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC.

We eagerly hopped into Hopoo's Risk of Rain 2 when it hit Early Access last month, and have been equally eager to hear what the developer's plans are for getting this thing to a full release. Today, Hopoo and Gearbox revealed the development roadmap of what will be added to the game and, roughly, when, leading up to the full release sometime next Spring.

BioWare has been working to fix Anthem ever since its rocky launch a couple months ago, but the writing may now be on the wall for the third-person shooter. In a Reddit post on Tuesday, the Lead Producer and Head of Live Services wrote about the current state of the game with the release of the latest patch, which did add a new Stronghold and some needed QoL improvements, and also where things are headed. The short answer: nowhere fast.

The recent revamp of the Hitman series was a bold, new approach to a formula that had started to feel a little rote and stale. The sequel, Hitman 2, is, very much more of the same wacky stealth action as the 2016, but it also added a new co-op feature: co-op sniper maps. You and a buddy (online) could play as two other ICA agents - Stone and Knight - to take down three targets from afar. To date, there's only been one of these Co-Op Sniper Maps, but a new one was added a couple weeks ago and another one is on the way.

What ho, adventurers! Have you been plumbing the depths of forbidden tombs with your best buddies in Strange Brigade? If so, you may be interested to know that a new character is available to play (free for Season Pass holders and not free otherwise), as well as new maps for the Score Attack and Horde modes (all free).

The Left 4 Dead-like, Earthfall, has been out for about a month now on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One, and Holospark, the game's developer, has recently laid out a "development roadmap" for the next few months. There will be a minor update later this month and next month that, collectively, add a couple new missions, enemies, and weapons, and that will pave the way for a big update in October.

There were some great ideas and nifty mechanics within Battleborn, but, ultimately, it seems like it was not destined to be a long-running franchise for Gearbox. In a forum post this weekend, Creative Director Randy Varnell stated that "there will be no more Battleplans and there is currently no planned content after the Fall Update." The lights may be on (for now), but nobody is home.

Most gamers just want to pick up a control pad and play a game; knowing what was needed to get the game made is not the highest priority when you are blasting aliens or flying through the air.  However, for a game to exist, it needs to be built on something.  The latest Ubisoft video highlights the new Assassin's Creed Unity engine and how it has enhanced the franchise.

Recently, another behind the scenes video of Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two’s development has surfaced on Youtube by Disney Interactive. This time, the footage features Creative Director, Warren Spector, discussing the two main characters of the game, Mickey Mouse and Oswald the Rabbit, who work cooperatively to traverse their magical world of The Wasteland.

People must really love Dead Island, because they’ve already been playing it for over 6,500 years, cumulatively of course. We have cooperative gameplay to thank for that.
