In today's Daily Fix:Call of Duty: Black Ops 7's launch likely isn't going the way Activision would have hoped, at least in Europe. Via The Game Business, the European launch of the game saw 63% fewer copies sold compared to competitor Battlefield 6. It's also down more than 50% against last year's Black Ops 6. Game Pass subscriptions have not been taken into account as Microsoft has not provided that data. In other news, Charlie Cox doesn't want any of the credit for his performance as Gustave in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, even as he's nominated at this year's The Game Awards. Cox would prefer the accolades go to mo-cap artist Maxence Cazorla. And finally, despite what the internet is saying, Naughty Dog's Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet very likely won't be out in 2026, and probably won't have presence at The Game Awards next month, either.
In today's Daily Fix:A financial report from Ubisoft may have revealed the release date for the long-rumored Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag remake. An entry for an 'unannounced title' dropped March 31st, 2026 is fueling speculation that the remake will be announced soon. The title is supposedly being made by the Ubisoft Shanghai team, the same studio behind Skull & Bones, which itself started as a spinoff of the original AC: Black Flag. In other news, some old friends will be popping up in Resident Evil: Requiem, but don't get too excited over the possibility of playing as multiple protagonists. Requiem's producer confirmed that past characters will show up, but he said to not "over-hype it." And finally, Nintendo is taking down fan-made character art in Kirby Air Riders, specifically those of a bikini-clad Chef Kawasaki. Yes, that's a sentence you just read.
In today's Daily Fix:The newly revamped Steam Machine has been the talk of the industry since its reveal last week. Unfortunately we don't know the price just yet, but Linus Sebastian over at Tech Tips doesn't think it'll be cheap. Sebastian recalled a conversation in which Valve acknowledged it won't be sold at a 'console price,' i.e., around $500. We here at IGN think it'll sell for—on the low end—$700-800. In other news, Battlefield 6 had a strong debut month, coming in at number one in game sales. Its closest competitor, Call of Duty: Black Ops 7, just dropped this month, so it remains to be seem who wins the holidays. And finally, Silent Hill 2 Remake is now available for Xbox Series X after being shadow dropped with a nice 50% discount.
In today's Daily Fix:Ghost of Yōtei's New Game Plus mode will be added in an update dropping November 24. You'll be able to start the adventure over with your weapons and upgrades carrying over from your last completed save file. There's also new camera featuresd, armor, cosmetics, and more. In other news, the director of the Marathon cinematic short film had to go onto social media to reassure the public that, no, the short was not made by AI. Director Alberto Mielgo claims that a staff of 155 people made the short, and it took them several months. This comes as more games—especially from Triple-A developers—are incorporating AI into their workflows. And finally, The Legend of Zelda animated series from the 80s will be streaming for free on Tubi. That should hold you over until the live-action feature-length film drops in 2027.
In today's Daily Fix:Xbox Game Pass Wave 2 for November have been announced, and the pixel art beat-em-up Marvel Cosmic Invasion is leading the pack. Fortnite Crew is also coming to the service, along with some extra Fortnite bonuses like V-Bucks. Other games include Kulebro and the Souls of Limbo, Lost Records: Bloom & Rage, and more. In other news, Sony has revealed their PlayStation sale for Black Friday, and you can score $100 off a PS5 console (including the Pro), discounts on PS Plus plans, and sales on accessories like the Pulse headset, DualSense Edge controller, and more. And finally, a gaming exec has said that Gen-Z doesn't care about AI slop. This seems to counter the pushback generative AI gets from the gaming community when used in game development.
In today's Daily Fix:Nintendo has revealed the first official looks at Zelda and Link in the upcoming live-action The Legend of Zelda movie. Bo Bragason's Zelda outfit appears to be inspired by the character's Breath of the Wild design, while Bengamin Evan Ainsworth's Link is wearing a green tunic, more in line with Link's traditional look in the early Zelda games. In other news, U.S. congressman Ro Khanna is taking aim at Call of Duty for its supposed use of A.I. in Black Ops 7. Khanna's concern seems pointed at the loss of jobs as A.I. takes over some of the low-level tasks humans would normally do. And finally, a fan-made project to keep Concord multiplayer alive has drawn the ire of Sony, who is taking down video content showing off Concord Delta. Although Sony cancelled the game and shuttered its developer after Concord's disasterous launch, a group of fans are reverse-engineering some of the server code to keep the game playable to those who bought it.
In today's Daily Fix:Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 is out today, but if you're jumping into the campaign, be aware that you can't just pause it whenever you want for a quick bathroom break.

In other news, Red Dead Redemption is finally getting a current-gen update for Switch 2, Xbox Series X|S, and PS5. The update adds HDR and 4K support, and the Switch 2 version will also support DLSS and mouse controls. The good news is if you already own the PS4/Switch/Xbox One version, you can upgrade for free. Now if only they'd drop an update for Red Dead 2. And finally, the latest overview video for Metroid Prime 4: Beyond introduces NPCs that will join Samus on her adventure. Unfortunately, they might be more chatty than we'd like.

The studios is currently in development in the long-delayed shooter, Marathon, as well as continuing to support Destiny 2.

And finally, Fallout 4 Anniversary Edition has been hit with controversy over its price and technical issues since being launched yesterday.
In today's Daily Fix:Bethesda's Todd Howard knows we want The Elder Scrolls 6, but is asking for patience as the game is "still a long way off." The original announcement came back in 2018—SEVEN YEARS AGO, if you're counting—and there has not been any new teasers since then. Howard also teased a possible shadowdrop, like what Bethesda did with The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered (although several detailed leaks leading up to the drop spoiled some of the surprise). In other news, Nintendo's Shigeru Miyamoto spoke about his minimal involvement with the Super Mario franchise, but is hoping he'll still be around for the series' 50th anniversary in 2035. And finally, Predator: Badlands has hit the ground running, reaching a franchise high opening weekend box office, and that's considering the two Alien vs Predator spinoffs.

In today's Daily Fix:Sony's PlayStatio Portal is officially getting game streaming over the cloud today. The feature was previously in beta, but is now available to all users, provided you have the right PlayStation Plus membership. Game streaming via the cloud does not require the PS Portal to be connected to a PS5 console. In related news, code and graphics for a 'cross-buy' option has been found on the PlayStation Store. Sony hasn't announced anything yet, so many are speculating that this could mean dual PS5/PC purchases. And finally, the highly-anticipated Terminator 2D: NO FATE has been delayed yet again, but this time only about two weeks. The game is now slated for December 12, 2025.
In today's Daily Fix:Nintendo has raised its hardware forecast as the Switch 2 crosses the 10 million units sold mark. The Switch 2 continues its run as the biggest console launch ever, surpassing the Switch 1 (4.7 million units) and PlayStation 5 (7.8 million units) in their respective first six month milestones -- but in only four months (June 5-September 30). Nintendo now expects to move 19 million units by the end of March 2026. In other Nintendo news, the U.S. Patent Office is going to reexamine a patent awarded to Nintendo regarding the 'summon character and let it fight' Pokémon patent. This could potentially undermine Nintendo's argument in its lawsuit against Palworld developer Pocketpair. And finally, Microsoft's Game Pass Wave 1 offerings for November have been revealed, and as expected Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 leads the charge.
In today's Daily Fix:The co-founder and former lead writer for Rockstar Games had to explain why Grand Theft Auto will probably never be set in another country besides America (not counting that one PS1 expansion that was set in London). And it's probably for the reasons you can already think of: lots of guns, and American society is already pretty ridiculous on its own. In other news, Mike Pondsmith, creator of the Cyberpunk roleplaying game, knows how to get Johnny Silverhand back into Cyberpunk 2, he just needs Keanu Reeves to hit him up if Reeves wants to be in the new game. And finally, the formerly Xbox exclusive S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 is not only debuting on PlayStation soon, but it's leaving Game Pass, frustrating Xbox players who not only are paying more for the service, but now there's one less Triple-A game to play.

And there's also Portal, which allowed players to customize their matches. In related news, Activision is opening another free trial of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Multiplayer and Zombies. The trial is live now through November 3rd. This could just be coincidence that Battlefield's biggest competitor is dropping a free trial the same day EA launches REDSEC, or it could be the first in many head-to-head battles between two of the biggest military shooters in the games industry. And finally, Time Extension has details on a Matrix video game that the Wachowskis pitched to Hideo Kojima.
