Unfortunately, specific details on the maps, weapons, and other elements were not revealed, but considering that the update will go live next week, we’ll find out more soon enough. This is in line with Activision’s marketing for Warzone, as we typically don’t find out about the exact details of an update until a few days prior to its release. We should expect a road map to be shared with the community next week.

Ee do know Raven Software will be tweaking the game’s weapons further, to make for a more balanced experience. The season 3.5 update patch notes had info about weapon changes coming in Season 4.

“We have a great deal of enhancements coming to all BOCW optics and reticles in Season 4,” reads the post from Raven. “Coupled with some exciting attachment changes, we feel the landscape of long-range viable weapons will soon be as diverse as it has ever been.”

With the start of the Cold War integration in December 2020, Warzone’s weapon meta was in a bad place, but Raven has made significant improvements within the past few weeks toward the beginning of season 3. Hopefully, season 4 will continue that trend.

When a major studio or publisher drops a legacy AAA title, other studios generally avoid releasing around the same timeline to avoid having their sales eaten by the more popular game. So when Grand Theft Auto 6 finally got its release date, it was clear no one would be shipping their game during the same month.

But another game maker might be challenging it with a goliath of its own. A new discovery on Nintendo’s UK store has sparked speculation that The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake could launch on November 12, just seven days before GTA 6 arrives on November 19.

Reported price hikes across Nvidia's RTX 50-series GPUs show some cards nearly doubling in cost since launch, driven largely by AI data center demand.

I remember when a $999 GPU felt like the "expensive but justifiable" tier, something buyers saved months for before building their dream gaming PC. Nvidia's about to make that price feel affordable.

Back in January, reports surfaced that AMD and Nvidia had warned board partners about incoming price increases.
