Is Call of Duty: Warzone shutting down? The live service games industry is a tenuous one. Continuing to support a game with live content month after month is expensive and daunting, and very few games have been super successful at it. One of those games is Call of Duty: Warzone . The CoD battle royale mode launched in 2020 and has brought in players from around the world to hop into matches in Verdansk, Rebirth Island, Urzikstan, Al Mazrah, Caldera, and several other maps alongside multiple main CoD titles. One thing that has stayed consistent, though, is content. Activision employs several studios to work on monthly updates for the game that add things like weapons, skins, operators, map updates, and more to keep things fresh. But doing so is pricy, and if the game is no longer turning a profit, it could be at risk of being sunset, having its servers shut down, or having its future live service content canceled. Could this ever happen to Call of Duty , the biggest and best-selling series year in and year out? Here's what we know so far about the possibility of Warzone shutting down. Is Warzone shutting down? Image via Activision There is no evidence of Call of Duty: Warzone ending or shutting down anytime soon, contrary to rumors that have been spreading online in June 2025. Any talk about Warzone's successes or failures outside of direct confirmation from Activision is just conjecture or rumors at this point. Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile , however, did just recently shut down. The game is no longer available to download from the App Store or Play Store as of May 18, 2025. Activision said the game "unfortunately has not met our expectations with mobile-first players like it has with PC and console audiences." Warzone on console and PC, though, is still likely a profitable venture. There has been a lot of controversy surrounding the game since it launched, largely due to issues with hacking and cheating. However, discussion about Warzone being shut down really gained momentum with the launch of season three of Black Ops 6 and the introduction of Verdansk . Rumors began circulating earlier this year about Warzone when CoD leaker @TheGhostofHope posted that "Warzone 3" would not be happening in 2026 "if Verdansk fails to retain current/returning players." This report, while unconfirmed, is always possible, as is anything when it comes to the gaming industry. Image via Activision For now, Warzone appears to be here to stay for the foreseeable future. Could that change at any time? Of course. If the game keeps waning in popularity and becomes less profitable, there is room for a shakeup of the CoD BR. This article will be updated with new information whenever necessary. The post Is Call of Duty: Warzone shutting down? appeared first on Destructoid .

All EA FC 25 Shapeshifters players (Team 1) The Shapeshifters promo is coming soon to EA FC 25 , and we have the first set of leaks on social media. Thanks to in-game objectives, we already have the confirmed release date for the promo. A few cards have also been confirmed (as part of the Season 8 Pass), but EA Sports has remained tight-lipped about the promo cards. So here's a look at the rumored cards expected to appear as part of the new promo. Complete list of EA FC 25 Shapeshifters players We have confirmation about all the cards that will be part of the first team. Holmgaard RW 94 Kogel RB 94 Milito LW 94 Nordi Mukiele LW 94 Franco Acerbi ST 95 GIrma CDM 95 Vincent Kompany GK 95 Mapi Leon CM 95 Jay Jay Okocha CDM 95 Nico Schlotterbeck ST 95 Klara Buhl ST 96 Cafu CDM 96 Kadidiatou Diani CAM 96 Endrick CAM 96 Mamardashvili CB 96 Mallory Swanson RB 96 Mia Hamm CM 97 Romelu Lukaku CB 97 Martin Odegaard LW 97 Michael Olise ST 97 Marcus Rashford CM 97 Marco Reus CM 97 Patrick Vieira ST 97 Antoine Griezmann CAM 98 Harry Kane CM 98 Ibraima Konate GK 98 Diego Maradona RW 98 As we get more leaks, they will be added to the list. Shapeshifters will have three teams, so it will be a major promo. The promo will include Icons and regular footballers, so bad luck for those who love Heroes. Here's a list of all the confirmed cards. All these items are obtainable from the Season Pass. Stephan El Shaarawy ST 94 Filip Kostic CDM 94 Grifo LB 94 Giacomo Bonaventura LW 94 Andrea Belotti CDM 94 Ciro Immobile RB 94 Douglas Luiz CB 95 Yan Couto LW 95 Pedro LB 95 Fikayo Tomori CDM 95 Lehmann LB 95 Alexis Sanchez CAM 95 Jorginho CAM 95 Samuel Lino RW 95 Martin Zubimendi RW 95 Robin Le Normand CM 95 Granit Xhaka CB 95 Jack Grealish RB 95 Gregor Kobel ST 96 Eric Dier ST 96 Ashley Maitland-Niles 96 Jan Oblak CB 96 Ricardo Calafiori ST 99 Sandro Tonali LW 96 Ruben Loftus Cheek CB 96 Mike Maignan CM 96 Conno Gallagher ST 96 Rafael Leao ST 97 The Shapeshifters cards have two special properties about them. All of them are fully familiar with all roles applicable to their positions. So, if you're using a Shapeshifters CAM, they will have Role++ for all applicable roles of a CAM. All Shapeshifters cards will have unique positions. If a footballer plays as a striker in real life, their promo card could be that of a defender or a midfielder. This makes the upcoming promo fun, and there will be three special teams of cards. The post All EA FC 25 Shapeshifters players (Team 1) appeared first on Destructoid .

Xbox Handheld Device "Essentially Canceled" - ReportThough Microsoft never announced an official Xbox handheld device, there were rumors about how such a device might factor into the company's next-gen console plans . Those plans are continuing to evolve, it seems, as a new report said Microsoft's own Xbox handheld is "essentially canceled." A report from The Verge , citing insiders, said such a device is no longer going forward. This follows on from a report at the end of May that suggested plans for an Xbox handheld were sidelined. The Verge's report added that Microsoft remains bullish on the idea of making "next-gen Xbox hardware," but perhaps not in the way people think. "We'll see multiple devices from PC makers like Asus that will also be considered next-gen Xbox consoles," the report said. Continue Reading at GameSpot

Resident Evil’s perspective identity crisis means RE9 gets to combine the best of both experiences Man, I love Resident Evil. The announcement of Resident Evil Requiem was a highlight for me this past weekend, and I am fiending to play it and learn more. So much of my identity as a gamer is tied to Resident Evil. Some of my earliest memories are watching my uncle play RE1 on PS1 before I ever had my own. And then for my ninth or 10th birthday, I asked for a PS1 of my own and just one game: Resident Evil 2 . And I got them, and so a survival horror fan was born. Image via Capcom I didn't end up beating RE2 until many, many years later (as a kid, the scene with the zombies crashing through the glass at Kendo's Gun Shop made me turn off the console and subsequently have nightmares for weeks). But I've since tackled just about everything else in the franchise since then, and I'm always excited to play and see what's next. I consider it in my "big three" of franchises I've been a fan of since childhood, along with Metal Gear Solid and Final Fantasy. And so I've seen just about every twist and turn the series has gone through. From tank controls and fixed camera angles, to Resident Evil 4's revolution of the third-person shooter, to Resident Evil VII and Village bringing everything into a claustrophobic first-person perspective. Previews of Resident Evil Requiem , or RE9 , hit the internet this morning (I sadly did not attend Summer Game Fest). Those who saw a demo of the game confirm how you'll be able to freely switch between first and third-person. And thank goodness. Resident Evil has gotten so good at both perspectives, with RE7 and Village creating tension in first-person, while the remakes of 2 , 3 , and 4 are a master-class when it comes to third-person action horror. And now, we get the best of both. Previews from outlets like PC Gamer and Insider Gaming confirm attendees were shown gameplay of new protagonist Grace Ashcroft wielding nothing but a lighter and her wits as she navigates a dark, horrifying hotel as a grotesque creature stalks her. Perfect. But that's not all. Being able to switch to third person is an excellent option for those who maybe don't love first-person perspective or get nauseous from it. But I don't think this is just an accessibility feature. I think it's a necessity for when the game ramps up the action with an assumed second protagonist that gamers have known and loved for nearly 30 years. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=POz1-EmLsTY It's only a matter of time before Capcom reveals Leon S. Kennedy is the second character in RE9 . Leaks point to that, the inclusion of a return to Raccoon City hint at it, and his action hero gameplay style not seen since Resident Evil 6 will be best suited for the third-person perspective. And of course, if this is truly going to be an end of the "OG" storyline and jumping-off point for something new, Leon needs to come back. Leon is Resident Evil's most famous character, along with Jill Valentine, Chris Redfield, and Claire Redfield. Leon hasn't been seen in the games since 2012's RE6 , so it's high time for him to make a return as a grizzled, veteran secret agent badass to bring everything to an explosive finale. Resident Evil has succeeded as both a first-person survival horror game and a third-person action horror game, and I'm expecting this title to be a little of both. Grace is an FBI agent but likely inexperienced when it comes to combat as she's described as an analyst in the reveal trailer, so she will take center stage in the cramped hallways and P.T. -like atmosphere of the hotel. And then, eventually, our boy Leon will come in, guns blazing, roundhouse kicks flying, and killing whatever needs to be killed. And so in this case, I think Resident Evil's identity crisis is a boon to the series and an excellent thing for Requiem. I believe we will get the best of both of the franchise's playstyles in this game. So far, Capcom is just showing Grace's gameplay in a small teaser. RE9 will be playable at gamescom later this summer, so players will be able to try it themselves in Cologne, Germany. The only question for me is if the publisher will use that event to confirm Leon's return. We all know it's coming. Image via Capcom And when Leon does arrive in both marketing and the game, the choice between first or third person will become very clear for long-time fans of the franchise. Let us see our bad-ass kicking heads off and saving the day one last time. Resident Evil Requiem launches on Feb. 27, 2026.

Some of the minigames we've seen so far include one where players can pick up and stack boxes, paint lines that appear on a canvas, and close annoying pop-up ads on a PC desktop. Inazuma Eleven: Victory Road Release date: August 21 The long-in-development soccer game from Level-5 finally has a release date of August 21, and it'll be released as a digital-only title for both the Switch 2 and Switch. The game will feature Mouse Mode and GameChat support, as well as cross-play and cross-save support across all versions. Bit Boy Arcade 2 Release date: TBA A complete overhaul of Bit Boy Arcade, this sequel to the 2014 Nintendo 3DS game will feature all-new gameplay mechanics, phases, and enemies, as well as rebuilt 3D models, textures, and animations. Farming Simulator: Signature Edition Release date: To be announced Several cozy farming-sim games are coming to Switch 2, but for anyone looking to focus on the nitty gritty of agricultural work, you can get your hands dirty (metaphorically) with Farming Simulator: Signature Edition on Switch 2. This version of the game will be based on Farming Simulator 25, and it'll offer over 400 authentic machines from more than 150 brands, 25 crops, and three maps spread across North America, Europe, and East Asia. AFL 26 Release date: TBA Big Ant Studios is bringing its AFL game--that is, its recreation of the Australian Football League--to Switch 2 at some point this year. The game debuts on May 8 for Xbox and PlayStation, and will come to Switch 2 later on. You can read more about AFL 26 at Press-Start AU . Image is from an older AFL game. Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Release date: TBA Square Enix has confirmed that the entire Final Fantasy 7 Remake trilogy will be coming to Switch 2. While we don't know when it'll arrive, it'll be interesting to see how Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth runs on the platform, given its grander design, massive locations to explore, and expanded storyline. The third chapter in this series hasn't been formally revealed yet , but we do know that development on it began right after Rebirth was completed. Spine Release date: TBA Developer Nekki's single-player action game Spine looks like it might be a cathartic blast of gun-fu fun, and it's coming to Switch 2. The neat thing about the game is that it has a special combat camera that is designed to make you feel like you're pulling off slick moves in the middle of a movie, where you get to use a wide array of gun and combat skills to unleash some pain on anyone foolish enough to tangle with you. My Time at Evershine Release date: TBA One of the very first games announced for the Switch 2, My Time at Evershine is a colorful farming sim from the team behind the Portia and Sandrock games. The Legend of Dark Witch Episode 4: Thoughts Delivered Release date: 2025 The Dark Witch series has been running since 2014, and in this new 2D chapter, you'll get to play as the spellcaster Zizou as she journeys across the globe to stop Verde, an organization looking to disrupt global communication and seize control of the world. FUR Squadron Phoenix Release date: 2025 Star Fox has been MIA for quite a while, but for anyone looking for something similar to it, FUR Squadron Phoenix looks heavily inspired by the on-rails space-shooter series. The game also features a roguelite structure with skill trees that unlock upgrades and weapons for your spaceship, as well as a colorful cast of anthropomorphic pilots. Bestiario Release date: 2026 Set in Spain after a pandemic has passed, beastiaro follows a group of hunters who band together to solve a supernatural mystery and protect the world from unusual enemies. Developer Wiggin Industries calls the game an RPG inspired by the likes of Persona and other classics of the genre. Virtua Fighter 5 REVO Release date: TBA Street Fighter 6 isn't the only high-profile fighting game coming to Switch 2, as you'll also be able to start a brawl in Sega's Virtua Fighter 5 REVO. A remaster of Virtua Fighter 5 Ultimate Showdown--which is a revision of Virtua Fighter 5 Final Showdown from 2021--REVO was updated for newer systems with improved graphics, rollback netcode support, and new gameplay modes were added when it launched on PC earlier this year. Exact details on the Switch 2 version haven't been revealed yet, but Sega has teased that this will be more than just "a simple port" when it eventually arrives on Switch 2. Splatoon Raiders Release date: TBA Splatoon is getting its first spin-off game, in the form of Splatoon Raiders. Details on the game are slim for now, but the reveal trailer did show characters like Shiver, Frye, and Big Man crash-landing on a strange island, marooning the Deep Cut members. It'll be exclusive to Switch 2 consoles when it's eventually released. Maseylia: Echoes of the Past Release date: TBA A blend of classic 2D exploration with modern 3D mechanics, Maseylia: Echoes of the Past is a metroidvania set in a vast techno-organic labyrinth. As you'd expect from titles set in this genre, you'll have to explore and adapt if you want to survive. Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles Release date: September 30 Final Fantasy Tactics was first released in 1997 for the PlayStation, and almost 30 years later, a brand-new version is on the way. Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles updates the classic strategy-RPG for modern systems, as the enhanced version of the game adds fully voiced dialogue, an optimized and updated UI, graphical improvements, and a number of other quality-of-life features. If you prefer to kick it old-school, the game will also be playable in its classic mode, using the War of the Lions translation as the foundation. Cookie Clicker Release date: TBA Last year saw the release of Cookie Clicker on console , and naturally, the game is making its way to Switch 2. We're not certain what's going to be different about this game focused on the sweetest treat, but if it allows for the new Joy-Con 2 mouse controls to be used, we're going to make so many cookies here. Castle of Heart: Retold Release date: TBA An upgraded version of the original medievil-themed platformer, Castle of Heart: Retold pits a Slavic warrior named Svaran on a quest to free the last priestess of goddess Mokosh and free the land from the iron-fisted rule of The Sorceror. The twist here is that Svaran's body has been cursed to turn to stone, and the only way to keep from succumbing to this spell is to maintain a steady bodycount against an endless army of foes and challenging bosses. Obakeidoro 2: Chase & Seek Release date: TBA A game of tag with a spooky twist, this asymmetrical multiplayer action game is scheduled to launch for Switch 2 in Summer 2025. Mortal Kombat Legacy Collection Release date: TBA A classic collection of Mortal Kombat games are on the way from Digital Eclipse, and like the studio's previous efforts, these games will be accompanied with a guided tour the through the bloody history of the franchise. The collection includes Mortal Kombat 1, Mortal Kombat 2, Mortal Kombat 3, Mortal Kombat 3: Ultimate, and Mortal Kombat 4, as well as several of the arcade, console, and Game Boy versions of those fighting games. The arcade and console versions will also support online multiplayer with rollback netcode, just in case you're in the mood for an old-school session of fighting game fun. RUMORED: Assassin's Creed Mirage "There are a lot of other third-party games that are being considered or will be coming to Switch 2. One title that will be there within the launch window comes from Ubisoft, and it's going to be Assassin's Creed Mirage." Source: NateTheHate RUMORED: Assassin's Creed Shadows "To my understanding, Assassin's Creed Shadows is one of those in-development ports it just won't be ready for launch and probably won't be ready for the launch window." Source: NateTheHate RUMORED: Halo: The Master Chief Collection "Expect a lot of Microsoft games on Switch 2 and PS5 moving forward, but Flight Simulator and Halo: Master Chief Collection are two games I have heard about that should be making their way over in 2025." Source: NateTheHate RUMORED: Microsoft Flight Simulator RUMORED: Hi-Fi Rush "Microsoft is going to be a very big supporter of the Switch 2 when it does come out, they will be porting and patching the current Switch lineup. So games like Grounded, Pentiment, the Ori games will eventually find their way to Switch 2, be patched with 4K support and I wouldn't be surprised if you see Sea of Thieves, maybe Hi-Fi Rush, also find their way over." Source: NateTheHate RUMORED: Ori and the Blind Forest RUMORED: Ori and the Will of the Wisps RUMORED: Sea of Thieves RUMORED: Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle and Sparks of Hope "[We] had already released a Mario Rabbids game [on Switch], so by doing another we had two similar experiences on one machine. On Nintendo, games like this never die. There are 25 Mario games on Switch. Nintendo [has advised] that it's better to do one iteration on each machine. We were a bit too early, we should have waited for [the next console]. Because you could play a great game. And we think it will last for 10 years, because we will update it for the new machine that will come in the future." -- Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot "There was also some consideration of doing a Mario + Rabbids collection so it would have one and two in a single package." Source: NateTheHate RUMORED: 3D Mario Game "We have heard stuff like a new 3D Mario [game]." Source: NateTheHate RUMORED: Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater "Some other third-party games I have heard, include Metal Gear Solid Delta, which is coming out in 2025. Right now it lacks a release date for all platforms and I'm hopeful that maybe it is a day-and-date release when it does come to Switch 2." Source: NateTheHate RUMORED: Rainbow Six Siege "I've been told that Ubisoft is doing more than half-a-dozen games for the Switch 2, and a lot of them are going to be late ports. These are from a range of franchises, like The Division, Rainbow Six Siege."

Everything we know so far about Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 Surprise! A new Call of Duty game is coming out in 2025. Not surprised? That's okay, nobody really is, but the fact that it's Black Ops 7 directly after Black Ops 6 is a bit surprising. This is the first consecutive release in the Black Ops series, following in the footsteps of Modern Warfare III that launched directly after Modern Warfare II a couple years back. 2025's CoD iteration will be heading into the near-future of 2035, a big departure from BO6's setting of the early 1990s, so expect some big changes when it comes to weaponry, aesthetics, setting, and more. But those aren't the only differences we can expect. Here's everything we know so far about the latest CoD game, Black Ops 7. Table of contents Everything we know so far about BO7 Treyarch and Raven team up David Mason, BO2 sequel Co-op campaign is back in Black Trippy butterfly mind tricks Evolved multiplayer Zombies, Zombies, Zombies Blackout comeback? Switch 2...maybe Everything we know so far about BO7 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uUo5gnaYB_w&pp=ygUMY2FsbCBvZiBkdXR5 Treyarch and Raven team up Treyarch continues its streak of seemingly never-ending CoD development along with its duo in Raven Software. Black Ops 7 sees the two super-studios teaming up to co-lead development, along with a large number of other studios assisting in making the new title. David Mason, BO2 sequel Screenshot by Destructoid The BO7 storyline will be a sequel to Black Ops 2 , set in a near-future where android robots and a company called The Guild are at the forefront of the plot, teasing the events to come in Black Ops 3, which end up happening 30 years later. "Developed as the next evolution of Black Ops , this is the first-ever consecutive release within the series, set more than 40 years after the events of Black Ops 6 ," Activision said. "The year is 2035 and the world is on the brink of chaos, ravaged by violent conflict and psychological warfare following the events of Black Ops 2 and Black Ops 6 . Wielding cutting-edge technology, David Mason and his team must fight back against a manipulative enemy who weaponizes fear above all else." BO7 brings the Hollywood power as Milo Ventimiglia stars as Mason, while Kiernan Shipka will play the antagonist Emma Kagen, and Michael Rooker returns as BO2 star Mike Harper. Co-op campaign is back in Black A fan-favorite feature is finally back in BO7, allowing players to team up with friends to play the campaign in co-op. This used to be a franchise staple, and it's been scarce over the past few years, but it will be a welcome addition and change for those who like to squad up every chance they get. Trippy butterfly mind tricks Image via Activision In the debut trailer, we see Mason seemingly hallucinating a blue butterfly and Raul Menendez, the antagonist of BO2, who died at the end of the game in its canon ending. Someone, likely Kagen and The Guild, is playing with his mind, which has been a recurring theme throughout the Black Ops franchise. Evolved multiplayer While nothing has been shown for BO7 multiplayer yet (that's coming later this summer), rumors have pointed to the game using an "evolved" version of BO6's omnimovement, now including wall-running and potentially wall-diving. Other rumors suggest that BO2 maps may be included and remade for BO7 , similar to how MWIII used MW2 2009's maps as a base. Activision, thus far, has only said that players can "harness near-future weaponry in a signature multiplayer experience packed with brand-new maps." Zombies, Zombies, Zombies Screenshot by Destructoid A mysterious image at the end of the debut trailer shows everyone's favorite shambling undead. Zombies mode returns in BO7 , with Activision describing it as the "next twisted chapter of Round-Based Zombies in the heart of the Dark Aether." Blackout comeback? Screenshot by Destructoid Another quick shot at the end of the debut trailer shows four players in wingsuits diving into what looks like Avalon, the long-rumored new battle royale map set in Europe. The wingsuits immediately evoke the imagery of the forgotten Blackout BR mode, which launched before Warzone alongside Black Ops 4 . A lot of Avalon is explorable in-game via going out of bounds on certain multiplayer maps, so it appears ready to take over as the next BR map. However, reliable leaker @TheGhostofHope has said that the tease is for the co-op campaign and that Avalon as a BR map has been scrapped and repurposed for the story mode. Switch 2...maybe Activision and Nintendo entered a 10-year agreement to bring CoD to the latter's platforms...but that was two years ago. And now, Switch 2 is not listed in BO7's current platforms. It's possible that it could come in the future, but for now, Nintendo gamers are still awaiting the franchise's arrival. For now, it's only been confirmed for Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, and on PC, Battle.net, Steam, and Xbox PC. This article will be updated with new information whenever it becomes available. The post Everything we know so far about Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 appeared first on Destructoid .
