Call of Duty: Black Ops’ third map pack leaked?

Add as a preferred source on Google

If Activision had a collective fist, they might be shaking it in the general direction of the internet right now. For what may be the second time in a row, an upcoming Call of Duty: Black Ops map pack might have been leaked–the first time it came when an Australian retailer accidentally posted an image of the “Escalation” map pack before Activision made the official announcement. That turned out to be accurate, and the official announcement came roughly a week later.

This leak is still just a rumor coming from an unconfirmed source. The internet can be a treacherous place, and not only is it possible that someone created the image for their own amusement, it might even be likely. Still, there is precedent. Both the story and the image come from Modern Warfare 24/7, who also classifies this as a rumor, although one of the maps, Silo, does fit with another rumor the site heard back in May. If it is true though, it appears that we have four new competitive maps and one new zombie game on the way. They are:

Hangar 18

Drive-In

Silo

Hazard

Unnamed Zombie Map

The name of the map pack and the release date are not displayed (or are illegible), so we will have to wait patiently for our Activision overlords to confirm whether this is the official third map pack or not. More on this when there is more to tell.

Well… at least God of War Laufey is getting a physical disc

Last week, Sony lit the gaming community on fire by announcing that all new PlayStation games released from January 2028 onwards would be digital-only, effectively bringing an end to physical discs for future releases. At the same time, the company also confirmed it would shut down the PlayStation 3 and PS Vita digital stores by July 2027, reinforcing concerns that digital storefronts and the games tied to them don't last forever. Unsurprisingly, the announcements triggered widespread backlash from collectors and long-time PlayStation fans. In the middle of all that, Santa Monica Studio offered a surprisingly comforting update: God of War Laufey will be available on disc. It's only one sentence, but it says a lot.

More than just a physical release

Samsung Display’s Gaming-optimized OLED Products Showcased at COMPUTEX 2026

Samsung Display has introduced OBLYX, its first dedicated OLED brand for gaming laptops, as the company looks to strengthen its position in one of the fastest-growing segments of the PC market. The announcement was made at Bilibili World 2026 (BW2026) in Shanghai, marking Samsung Display's first appearance at China's largest gaming and anime convention.

Rather than unveiling a new display technology, Samsung is creating a recognizable identity for its gaming-focused OLED panels, much like established branding for processors or graphics cards. The move also hints at the company's ambitions in China, where demand for OLED-equipped gaming laptops is accelerating rapidly, according to a Digital Today report.

Razer Kraken Kitty V2 BT Cinnamonroll themed gaming headphones

Razer’s Sanrio collaboration has already produced a full desk setup, and the final drop is now here. The company has launched the Razer Kraken Kitty V2 BT Cinnamoroll Edition, a wireless headset themed around one of Sanrio’s most recognizable characters.

Cinnamoroll is a white puppy from Sanrio, the Japanese company behind Hello Kitty and several other globally recognized character brands. He is known for his long floppy ears, blue eyes, curly tail, and soft cloud-like look. As per the Sanrio lore, he was born high above the clouds and can fly by flapping his big ears. Razer has leaned heavily into that identity for this headset, replacing the usual kitty look with Cinnamoroll’s floppy ears and a sky-blue color scheme.
