Are you looking forward to Fallout 76? If you are, you’ll want to take a read through this article.

Bethesda has just pushed out a bunch of new details about Fallout 76 ahead of the upcoming beta period. We’ll be sharing all of the new information in this article.

Firstly, it’s been confirmed that the beta will start on October 23 for Xbox One players and October 30 for PC and PS4 players. The beta will be live most days for roughly 4-8 hours each day.

What’s incredible is that the beta will run all the way up to a few days before the release date, which is on November 14. You must pre-order to get into the beta, but your progress made in the beta will carry on over to the full release.

We also now know that the player count will be between 12 and 36, but the final number still hasn’t been revealed.

There will be quests and objectives just like in Fallout 4, as well as dozens of different enemy NPCs to kill. There won’t be any human NPCs to interact with,

A brand new Red Dead Redemption 2 trailer has dropped and it showcases more gameplay elements. We finally get to see what it'll be like to actually play the game.

The trailer begins by different criminal activities the player can take part in. This includes large bank heists, train robberies, or store hold ups.

The trailer also showcases rival gangs and outlaws. Players will need to keep their wits about them as they explore the world as there will always be danger around the corner.

The trailer also showcases what it will be like to constantly be on the run from bounty hunters and the law.

As teased from the last trailer, we got to see a further look at the new deadeye system. It will now have multiple stages. You can slow time, paint multiple targets at once, or see critical areas on a particular enemy.

Besides typical criminal activities like explained above, Red Dead Redemption 2 will also offer a number of less dangerous activities.

Examples

If you’re a diehard Call of Duty fan, you’ll already know the majority of game modes featured in most games like the back of your hand.

One popular game variant that has seen a lot of popularity in the past is Hardcore mode. Typically, a COD game will have hardcore variants of existing game types. For example, hardcore Search and Destroy or Team Deathmatch.

Hardcore mode reduces a player’s HUD and makes the time to kill far quicker. This makes dying a lot easier, hence the name. There has always been a mixed reception for hardcore mode, but many players love it.

Thankfully, Treyarch announced that hardcore mode will be coming to the multiplayer for Black Ops 4. No details have been shared about how it will work, though. With Black Ops 4 using an entirely new health system, the hardcore mode will need to be adjusted to fit this system.

Treyarch also revealed that while the standard multiplayer will get a hardcore mode, Blackout will not get such a mode. There

Gears of War 4 is set to receive a rather hefty patch that'll include a range of improvements aimed towards Xbox One X users. These improvements are all changes to the graphical appearance and overall frame performance of the game.

The update is completely free, but it won't offer any benefits for those not using the Xbox One X.

To begin with, the new Xbox One X improvements for Gears of War 4 will allow players to play the game in true 4K (3840 x 2160). Players will have the option to choose between different visual modes, but even 1080P is said to have a significant graphics boost.

There will also be two different rendering modes players can choose from. Players can either go into Performance mode or Visuals mode. On Performance mode, the game will be capped at 1080P resolution, but frame rate will be higher and will reach 60 frames per second.

With the Visuals mode, players can choose to use 4K resolution and 30FPS. These changes will only be apparent in Campaign

So far, we know that Star Wars Battlefront II is getting a single player campaign, but we know relatively little information about it.

This is quite surprising considering how close we are to the launch now. Thankfully, we have a few more snippets of information today that we can use to help slowly piece together the Star Wars Battlefront campaign story.

Battlefront II producer David Robillard has revealed the length of the Star Wars Battlefront campaign. According to Robillard, the playtime is roughly 5 to 8 hours, depending on how well you can play against the AI opponents.

Considering that this is usually the average length of a single player campaign for AAA first-person shooter games, I think we've got something special to look forward to. There are no details of any level of replayability for the single player campaign yet. These days, most campaigns seem to have very little replay value.

It'd be great to go back to the days of Halo 3 - during those times

A brand new game of the year edition for Hitman has been announced and it will make its way to Xbox One, PC, and PS4 later this year on November 7.

The new game of the year edition will include the base game, the content available through the Hitman season pass, and a brand new campaign called Patient Zero.

IO Interactive has provided a small snippet of information about the new campaign. We've provided the description below:

"After the routine elimination of a target, a contingency plan to unleash a global pandemic is triggered and Agent 47 must race against the clock to prevent a virus from spreading," reads the new campaign's description. "This four-mission campaign spans different locations in the game, each one re-worked from the original settings with new gameplay opportunities, disguises, characters, challenges, gameplay mechanics, AI behavior and HUD elements. Bangkok, Sapienza, Colorado and Hokkaido look and feel completely different with a new time of day

It's been a tradition for Bungie to launch a Halloween event each year ever since Destiny first graced our consoles, but this year will be different. There will be no Destiny 2 Halloween event and the reason for this isn't really that clear.

A Destiny fan asked David "Deej" Dague on Twitter whether there would be a Destiny 2 Halloween event and he simply responded with "No Sir." Later on, Deej expanded on his reply by saying, "We may see it again someday but Season 1 has been about launch and ritual activation. The first event for Destiny 2 is The Dawning."

In Destiny 1, Festival of the Lost was the name of the Halloween event that would appear each year. Even though Destiny 1 also launched in September, (back in 2014) Bungie still released a Festival of the Lost event on the first year.

It seems a shame that we won't be getting a Festival of the Lost Halloween event this year for Destiny 2, but hopefully, we will see it return next year.

If you're not sure if you'll be interested in the upcoming Gran Turismo Sport racing game for the PlayStation 4, you may want to give the free demo a try.

Sony has confirmed that PS4 owners will be able to give Gran Turismo Sport a test run for free from October 9 until October 12. This will essentially follow the same beta pre-release model many triple-A publishers have been following in recent years.

If you're a PS Plus member, you'll get more time than those without PS Plus. Firstly, PS Plus members will be given the option to preload the Gran Turismo Sport demo before its starting date on October 9. They'll also be able to get started on October 9 at 12 AM, while non-Plus members must wait until 6 PM.

The preload period for PS Plus members will start on October 7. Players who earn money or unlock cars in the Gran Turismo demo can also transfer their progress to the full release later in the month on October 17.

All car unlocks can be transferred to the full

Strike is a smaller class-based mode that
