There's been one thought I haven't been able to shake during my time with Battlefield 6's upcoming Tsuru Reef map - the game's biggest yet, which arrives tomorrow with Season 4. Tsuru Reef is the item on a restaurant's menu that you tell yourself you'll try one day, yet you keep ordering the usual every time you visit. But just as that restaurant's menu is richer for having this delectable curiosity, Tsuru Reef is an asset to BF6's map line-up - even if I fear it's only going to get played occasionally.
It's been two weeks since Microsoft announced 3,200 layoffs and sweeping cuts hit the Xbox division. Not even well-established institutions like Doom and Quake studio id Software were safe - with the first reports painting a very bleak picture - yet Hugo Martin, director on the latest Doom entries, pushed back against claims the iconic FPS developer had been turned into little more than a support studio. A few days later, "current and former employees" are saying they aren't as optimistic as Martin.
Activision has finally revealed some worthwhile new details about what the next few months will look like in the lead-up to the release of Modern Warfare 4. The company officially announced the return of Call of Duty: Next, the event that has, for the last several years, served as the home for the debut of multiplayer gameplay.
In a grim week for the games industry where Microsoft laid off 1,600 people (with 1,600 further job cuts hanging over the heads of Xbox employees) one decision stood out as especially egregious. Id Software, developer of Doom and Quake, was forced to lay off 136 people – more than half of its workforce.

Bungie has shown off Vault Breaker in a new gameplay trailer. This is Marathon's experimental, time-limited PvE mode, which arrives today in Season 2's mid-season update. Vault Breaker is a roguelite mode that exists separately from the normal modes. In other words, it's not simply a PvE toggle you can turn on across the game.
IO Interactive has shared more development insight about arguably the stand-out character in 007 First Light: James Bond's mentor figure, John Greenway. This is the character played brilliantly by Walking Dead and Line of Duty actor Lennie James - a character as welcoming as a locked door when Bond initially joins the resurrected double-O secret agent training programme at the beginning of the game, but who gradually opens up.
If you've been itching to replay Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Wildlands, for some reason, you may soon have a reason to. The open-world co-op shooter will be 10 years old next March and it looks like Ubisoft is celebrating the anniversary early.
The on-again, off-again Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic remake - which was first announced in late 2021 before changing studios - may be re-revealed as soon as this year.
Nintendo has said it does not owe people who bought its products at higher prices any rebates, after the company raised prices in response to inflated US tariffs. The Japanese gaming giant is seeking the dismissal of a class-action lawsuit that argues this exact case: that consumers deserve a portion of the refund Nintendo could receive from the US government.
