The Jump Force beta is certainly exciting, but the headlining beta event for October is easily Fallout 76 . Bethesda Games Studios' first crack at a multiplayer-focused experience, many fans are both excited and nervous to see what Fallout 76 will have in store, and Xbox One owners that pre-order the game can see what all the fuss is about beginning October 23. Meanwhile, PC and PS4 gamers can jump into the post-apocalyptic wasteland beginning October 30. The betas across all platforms will last until Fallout 76 's launch, and unlike many other beta tests, progress will actually carry over to the full g


After a short delay, Playground was added to Fortnite , giving players full access to the island without having to worry about getting wiped out by an Omega skin a few minutes after landing. Playground also offers the perfect opportunity to practice building, which one group of creative players took to the extreme by erecting a near-perfect recreation of Nuketown from Call of Du


The new Call of Duty mobile game may not just make bank in the mobile sector, however. Releasing a mobile gaming industry impact game could potentially be a good way of introducing new fans to the Call of Duty franchise as a whole. While Call of Duty: WW2 sold well when it was released last year, managing to reverse the poor performance of Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare in 2016, the series has come a long way from its peak. Part of this is just down to series fatigue, but the access to shooter experiences on mobile platforms may have also led to that decl


Call of Duty also faces increased competition from games such as Fortnite Battle Royale and PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds , two titles that have mobile spin-offs. These games benefit immensely by being on mobile with none-PC and console gamers still able to engage with these franchises (and contribute to those series' success). There's no information on when the new Call of Duty will be released or exactly what it will offer, but watch this sp


Not only is October especially busy when it comes to brand new game releases, but it's also a busy time for in-game events. Thanks to Halloween, October is usually stuffed full of holiday-themed in-game events, with some of this year's already announced or ongoing. For example, Halloween decorations are all over the battle royale map in Fortnite , and Blizzard has already confirmed that the Halloween Terror event is coming back to Overwatch from October 9 to October

As promised, the Call of Duty Elite app is now available on the iTunes Store, but what Beachhead Studio and Activision had failed to stress to Call of Duty fans is just what features would be available, and how the app looks on your mobile device. Thankfully they have released a handful of screenshots, and a few more tidbits of information concerning the Elite app. Of course, the app is free of charge, so if you really want to see what it’s all about, there’s no harm in downloading


Videos like this one show just how good of an idea Playground was for Epic Games. Not only does the LTM give new players (of which there will be many, thanks to the recent Switch port ) a way to get to grips with the game in a safe environment, but it also enables impressive creations that will continue to make headlines and keep the game relev


The recreation of Nuketown, which can be seen in the video below, is made entirely out of wood and is about as faithful to the fan-favorite Black Ops map as Fortnite would allow. Replacing Nuketown's iconic backdrop is Wailing Woods - but since the proportions are pretty spot-on, anyone who is familiar with Nuketown will recognize the buildings instan


The Playground LTM accommodates building by giving the player a greatly increased spawn rate of materials. Naturally, it didn't take long after Playground's release for YouTube to become flooded with wild creations, with some even choosing to rebuild areas of the map that were destroyed by the meteor at the end of Seaso


September 2018 was a busy month for games, seeing the release of a number of critically-acclaimed titles including Dragon Quest 11: Echoes of an Elusive Age and of course, the PS4-exclusive Spider-Man from Insomniac Games. However, if gamers thought September was a busy month, then they're going to be completely blown away by October, which stands to be the busiest month for gaming in all of 2
