Black Ops 6 and Warzone Season 3 Reloaded countdown and features Black Ops 6 and Warzone Season 3 launched with a bang, bringing back the iconic Verdansk map and shaking things up with Zombies' Shattered Veil. Now that the chaos has settled, all eyes are on what's next. To keep you in the loop, here's when it drops and what's included. Table of contents When does BO6 and Warzone Season 3 Reloaded come out? What's included in BO6 and Warzone Season 3 Reloaded? New maps New Limited-Time modes Overhaul of weapons and perks Latest Operator skin Warzone's exclusive content When does BO6 and Warzone Season 3 Reloaded come out? As confirmed by the Call of Duty Twitter/X account , BO6 and Warzone Season 3 Reloaded launches on May 1 at 11am CT . Let's break down the release times across all regions so you don't miss a second of the action: Time Zones Time Pacific Time May 1 at 9am Eastern Time May 1 at 12pm British Summer Time May 1 at 5pm Central European Summer Time May 1 at 6pm India Standard Time May 1 at 9:30pm Japan Standard Time May 2 at 1am Australian Eastern Standard Time May 2 at 2am New Zealand Standard Time May 2 at 4am If you want to keep track of the precise timing, here's a Black Ops 6 and Warzone Season 3 Reloaded countdown: [hurrytimer id="1060598"] Given that it's a Reloaded patch, the file size shouldn't be too substantial. However, it's always a good idea to save around 10GB, as this is usually the minimum space recommendation for mid-season patches. What's included in BO6 and Warzone Season 3 Reloaded? The Call of Duty Blog and latest trailers confirm various features for Season 3 Reloaded. We'll cover them all, including maps, a new store bundle, and weapons. New maps Image via Activision The Season 3 Reloaded teaser gave us the inside scoop on the following new maps: Haven: 6v6 Signal: 6v6 and 2v2 Blazetown: 6v6 Haven takes you back to 1968 with a nostalgic nod to classic Black Ops . This small, chaotic map drops you into the middle of a submarine bay. But if you're looking for something a bit bigger, hop into Haven, a KGB safehouse packed with nonstop Operator showdowns. Then there's Blazetown—a trippy, psychedelic twist on Nuketown. It showed up a little late, but it's here for Call of Duty 's annual 4/20 festivities. Want to complete the vibe? The Jay and Silent Bob Operators are the perfect fit. New Limited-Time modes Image via Activision In addition to Blazetown, Season 3 Reloaded will keep with the leafy tradition with the Joint Operations limited mode. Embark on a trippy extravaganza in five modes: Head Stash, Inhalation, Hotbox, Very High Target, and Munchies. Each mode is a different take on classics like Team Deathmatch, Kill Confirmed, and Hardpoint, but with a smoking twist. Zombies fans can look forward to a limited-time mode launching alongside Joint Operations. In Zombies Snacks , you'll unlock unique abilities that go beyond the usual mystical tools like Pack-a-Punch and Wonder Weapons. Although there's not much else for this undead mode, we can at least prepare for the mid-season Directed Mode and the Ray Gun Mark 2 's debut in all maps. Black Ops 6 isn't the only one shaking things up. Warzone is rolling out High Trip Resurgence and Massive Resurgence , two limited-time modes that will have you on the edge of your seat. In High Trip, you're dropped into the chaos with a pre-determined loadout and powerful boosts, setting you up for intense action right from the start. Meanwhile, Massive Resurgence cranks up the heat with a colossal battle of 120 Operators. Only the last team standing will claim victory. Overhaul of weapons and perks Image via Activision It wouldn't be a new patch without some fresh goodies. First up is the Ladra submachine gun , a top-tier pick with a high fire rate, impressive range, and low recoil. As a fan of SMGs, I've got to get my hands on this one. New additions like this always make the collection better. Next is Vendetta , a new buff for the Recon perk. With this upgrade, you'll briefly mark the location of the enemy who killed you after respawning. Take them out, and you'll earn bonus points for pulling off a successful vendetta. We're also getting a Mini-Rocket Conversion for the Goblin Mk2 7.62 . Like any good launcher mod, this one's built to hit hard, whether you're taking out a single target or, if you're lucky, a whole group in one blast. Latest Operator skin Image via Activision The rumors are true— Seth Rogen is officially getting an Operator skin as Black Ops 6 and Warzone Season 3 Reloaded gear up for his arrival. Fingers crossed, they include his legendary laugh somewhere in the bundle. Even better, his Operator skin drops just in time for the Blaze of Glory event, which feels like a spiritual successor to the fan-favorite High Trip event. Warzone's exclusive content Image via Activision Warzone is leveling up the chaos. Get ready to storm the Verdansk Train Station , a high-stakes battleground where survival depends on your wits, your weapons, and your will to stay alive during a deadly ride. Plus, you can rip through the Verdansk battlefield with blazing speed on the Triumph TF 250 X bike, the newest way to outpace danger and chase down enemies. Check out these adrenaline-fueled additions, along with new contracts and high-value loot zones coming soon.

Fortnite Festival Kicking Off Star Wars Season With The Original Jabba's Palace SongTo absolutely no one's surprise, Fortnite Festival's weekly drop of songs is looking very Star Wars-y this week. Epic Games is marking the start of Fortnite's first ever Star Wars season by offering a pair of new jam tracks that come straight from the original Star Wars trilogy soundtrack composed by John Williams: "The Imperial March," and "Lapti Nek (Jabba's Palace)." Both of these will be available in the item shop when Star Wars season launches on Friday. It's possible one or both of the songs will be part of an instrument bundle like the Cantina Band song that dropped last year. Anybody who's watched much Star Wars should be well familiar with "The Imperial March," Darth Vader's theme from The Empire Strikes Back which is just as iconic as the franchise's main theme. "Lapti Nek," meanwhile, is the song played by the blue elephant man Max Rebo and his band in Return of the Jedi. We're talking the original version here, not the special edition which added a CGI dance number and a completely new song. This is the real one. This does appear to be the only new drop of songs in the item shop this week--there haven't been any announcements or leaks about any other licensed tracks this week. There is , however, a leak about battle pass songs. According to dataminers, there will be three Star Wars-inspired jam tracks included with the Star Wars battle pass: "Rebel's Run," "The Dark Side," and "Where My Wookiees At?". These will all be new songs with a Star wars tinge, rather than songs from Star Wars movies or shows. Continue Reading at GameSpot

Best Oblivion Remastered money farm As Cyrodiil seems to be stuck in an age of inflation, knowing how to get large sums of money in The Elder Scrolls 4 Oblivion Remastered is game-changing, especially during your first hours. But although the quality of the drops might make doing the above impossible, building your wealth is actually much easier than you might think. Here's the best way to farm money in Oblivion Remastered . Table of contents Best Oblivion Remastered money farming method How to make potions in Oblivion Remastered How to get a free Mortar and Pestle Best Oblivion Remastered money farming method Just like in the original Oblivion , the best way to farm money (and get a lot of levels) in Oblivion Remastered can be done by producing and then selling potions, as they can range from 15 to 30 Gold each (initially). For this guide specifically, we'll be focusing on making Fatigue Potions by first harvesting their ingredients from three specific locations: Odiil Farm on Chorrol, Shetcombe Farm on Kvatch, and the Tarmika and Surilie Brothers Vineyards on Skingrad. You can check out the location of all areas below. Odiil Farm's location. Image by Destructoid Shetcombe Farm's location. Image by Destructoid The area where you can find both the Tarmika and Surilie Brothers Vineyards. Image by Destructoid The above will feature enough Fatigue ingredients to make 150+ potions, even at Novice level. All ingredients will also respawn after three in-game days. Here are all of the Fatigue Potion ingredients you can expect to find at each area: Shetcombe Farm : 70 Corn, 36 Leak, 36 Potato, 14 Pumpkin Odiil Farm : 6 Blackberry, 16 Tomato, 60 Carrot, 17 Lettuce, four Watermelon Tarmika and Surile Brothers Vineyards : 62 Grape (Tarnika) / 32 Grape (Surilie Brothers) Now that you have all of the ingredients in hand, brew the potions, and then make a beeline to any city to sell them for a huge profit (around 3,000 to 4,000 Gold initially). To boost the value of your wares, don't forget to haggle with the buyer. Raising your Mercantile skill to at least Journeyman (level 50) can also be impactful here. How to make potions in Oblivion Remastered Image by Destructoid You can make potions in Oblivion Remastered by acquiring a Mortar and Pestle, at least two ingredients sharing the same property/effect (such as Carrot and Grape for Restore Fatigue), and then following the steps below: Select your Mortar and Pestle Select at least two items sharing the same effects, or two sets of items sharing different effects. Press square/X to brew your potion of choice (You can only make one potion at a time) To make brewing your potions a way more seamless affair, I recommend mapping your Mortar and Pestle into your shortcut wheel. To do that, find the item in your inventory and open the wheel before selecting which spot you wish to place it at. How to get a free Mortar and Pestle If you're going for an honorable route and don't have enough gold to buy a pestle at any Alchemy shop, you can get a free Mortar and Pestle in Oblivion Remastered by returning to the caves surrounding the Imperial Prison Sewers and heading to the area where you were taught how to sneak. Once there, you can find a Novice Mortar and Pestle sitting by the area's first fireplace. The post Best Oblivion Remastered money farm appeared first on Destructoid .

The Big List Of Upcoming Video Game Remakes Remakes tend to be more exciting than remasters because the improvements often go beyond mere bumps in resolution or framerate. At best, studios reimagine classic experiences in exciting new ways, sand away rough edges, and somehow retain the intangible x-factors that made fans fall in love with these titles in the first place. At the very least, remakes offer a great way to play antiquated or less accessible experiences on modern hardware. The remake boom has been in full swing in recent years to the point that it’s starting to get tough to keep track of all the projects in the works. Thankfully, we’ve gathered as many of the announced remakes ( not remasters or reboots ) that we could find and gathered them in one neat list, arranged chronologically by release window. This will be an evolving list that will be updated as new remakes are announced and released, so be sure to keep an eye on it over the coming months. Story of Seasons: Grand Bazaar Release: August 27 Grand Bazaar was initially released for the Nintendo DS in 2010 (in the US) under the now-retired Harvest Moon moniker, and it’s making the jump to PC and both generations of Switch with a new coat of paint. The charming farm and life sim looks nicer, boasts a bigger world, introduces new characters, has an expanded story, and includes full voice acting during key story events for the first time in series history. Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater Release: August 28 Months of rumors proved true when Konami revealed it was remaking arguably the most beloved entry in the Metal Gear series, Snake Eater. Boasting, as Konami put it, "cutting-edge graphics and 3D audio," this new version will faithfully retell the story of Big Boss' origin. Best of all, the iconic theme song is back in full force. Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake Release: 2025 If you loved the HD-2D remake of Dragon Quest III and want more, Square Enix has you covered. Dragon Quest I and II are getting the same treatment. Best of all, both remakes will be packaged together as a single release. Fate/Extra Record Release: 2025 Record rebuilds Fate/Extra, the first entry in the dungeon-crawling RPG series, with updated character graphics, and a beefier narrative. In terms of gameplay, developer Type-Moon Studio states it features “a more strategic deck-building style of dramatic command battle.” We’re not sure exactly what that last bit means, but given that the original game was released for PSP, it will be nice to have an improved version of the cult title on modern hardware. Gothic 1 Remake Release: 2025 2001's Gothic is getting a faithful glow-up that looks to reintroduce the RPG to a new audience. The combat system and control scheme, a criticism of the original, has been reworked to feel modern and, most of all, playable. Developer THQ Nordic Barcelona even released a playable teaser to obtain feedback and ensure it's on the right track. As 20+ year-old game, Gothic has been a tough game to revisit on PC, making this remake all the more welcomed. Eager fans can play a free prologue demo now on Steam . The House of the Dead 2: Remake Release: 2025 Following the undead footsteps of the first House of the Dead remake, the sequel is getting the same contemporary treatment. Alone or in co-op, you’ll mow down zombies in this classic on-rails shooter. The soundtrack has been remastered (though the original tracks remain intact), and the classic campaign is accompanied by boss and training modes. Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Release: 2026 Development has been rocky for The Sands of Time’s impending remake, to say the least. Besides the game’s reveal garnering backlash from fans due to its unimpressive graphics, it has been delayed several times: first by two months , then indefinitely , and is now coming in 2026 . In hindsight, it’s wild to think we were supposed to be playing this in January 2021. In May 2022, Ubisoft announced it had moved development from its fledgling Indian studios back to Montreal, where The Sands of Time was first created. While it's unfortunate that Ubisoft Pune/Mumbai couldn’t bring the remake together, we’re excited to see if Ubisoft Montreal can reapply the same magic. Frostpunk 1886 Release: 2027 11 Bit Studios is reimagining its 2018 post-apocalyptic city-management game, moving it into Unreal Engine 5 but offering more than a visual overhaul. Frostpunk 1886 will boast new content, including an entirely new Purpose path and new mechanics and laws. It may seem a bit soon for a remake of Frostpunk, but the game will be nine years old by the time 1886 is scheduled to launch in 2027. Front Mission 3: Remake Release: TBA Nows that the remakes of Front Mission 1 and 2 are out in the wild, all that's left is the 3rd game, which, if you're a North American fan, was likely the first one you played as it was the first entry to launch outside of Japan. Like the previous two remakes, Front Mission 3 is heading to Switch exclusively at launch and features improved visuals and controls. Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic Release: TBA The reveal that arguably the best Star Wars game ever was getting a much-needed remake had fans raising their lightsabers in celebration. Unfortunately, the game’s development seemingly succumbed to the dark side after reports surfaced that progress had stalled , and work on the game has switched hands from Aspyr Media to Saber Interactive. The game went radio silent for a long period until Embracer Group sold off Saber, prompting the studio's CEO to confirm that KOTOR is " alive and well ". We hope that's the case and look forward to eventually seeing the remake in action. Max Payne 1 and 2 Remake Release: TBA In April, Remedy Entertainment pleasantly surprised the gaming world when it announced it had struck a deal with Rockstar Games to remake Max Payne and Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne . Remedy sold the IP to Rockstar in 2002, but the two are partnering to revive the gritty crime series that popularized Bullet Time. The project, which will combine both games into a single title, will be made by Remedy with Rockstar footing the bill on development and publishing. It's slated for current-gen consoles and PC. Splinter Cell Release: TBA It might not be a new entry, but a remake of Sam Fisher’s first outing is better than nothing after years of waiting. Ubisoft Toronto sits at the helm of the project and plans to rebuild the game from scratch using the Snowdrop Engine while maintaining the classic stealth elements. Outside of recently losing its director (on good terms), it’s unclear how development is faring or when we’ll get to see this fresh spin on the franchise. The Witcher Release: TBA CD Projekt Red’s litany of upcoming projects includes a full remake of the first Witcher game . It’s being built in Unreal Engine 5 by developer Fool’s Theory (with supervision from CD Projekt veterans) and is said to be very early in development. The Witcher, released for PC in 2007, is not an easy game to revisit due to its age and lack of console ports. Now that Geralt and friends are mainstream draws, newer fans can finally experience the adventure that started it all. Which remakes are you looking forward to playing the most? Let us know in the comments!
