🎮 PlayStation, Xbox, Multi-platformWitcher 3 Director Says Next-Gen Console Delay Would Not Be Such A Bad Thing
The Witcher 3 director Konrad Tomaszkiewicz has commented on the state of next-generation consoles, saying his studio Rebel Wolves wouldn't be too upset if the PlayStation 6(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/playstation-6-everything-we-know-about-sonys-next-generation-console/1100-6533561/) and next-gen Xbox(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/next-xbox-release-date-specs-display-price/1100-6525379/) get delayed due to the ongoing memory and component crises. "To be honest, it's even better for us," Tomaszkiewicz told Eurogamer(https://www.eurogamer.net/next-gen-console-delay-blood-of-dawnwalker-developer) about how he would feel if next-gen consoles get delayed. He's currently working on the vampire game The Blood of Dawnwalker, which releases in September across console and PC. He went on to say a new platform comes with new challenges that developers need to spend time working on and learning. "You need to know what are your borders, what you can do, what you cannot do. And also it's an additional build you need to create that you need to take care of later," he explained. !(https://www.gamespot.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/blood.jpg?w=1024) The Blood of Dawnwalker releases in September. Currently, Rebel Wolves has four different builds of its current game, The Blood of Dawnwalker--Xbox Series X|S, PS5, and two for PC due to regional restrictions. If The Blood of Dawnwalker is a success and Rebel Wolves wants to bring it to whatever new systems are coming, the amount of work required would be multiplied, Tomaszkiewicz said. "It sounds easy but you need to know that there is a group of testers who need to test every platform separately--not only this particular change but whether the whole game has no blockers, if you can finish it from the beginning to the end, and so on and so on. It's a huge effort, to be honest," he said. As for the benefits of coming to a new, more powerful platform, Tomaszkiewicz said improvements would be "mostly visuals" thanks to having more RAM and a better processor. To be sure, Sony has not officially announced the next PlayStation console, but the company has spoken at a high level about its plans(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/ps6-plans-reportedly-thrown-into-uncertainty-by-ai-hardware-demand/1100-6538201/). Microsoft has been speaking openly about Project Helix for some time. Recently, Xbox's chief strategy officer Matthew Ball said Microsoft is committed to releasing Project Helix(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/is-xbox-fixable/?thumbnailid=1785763), but the company is going to "rethink everything" about it. It remains to be seen what that means. Due in part to the AI-fueled demand for memory and components, hardware prices on game consoles have gone up in recent years. Sony and Microsoft already raised prices on the PlayStation and Xbox consoles, while Nintendo is hiking the price of the Switch 2 in September. Some are theorizing that, should current trends continue, the price of new consoles in the future could be $1,000 or more, and that's a real bummer(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/there-is-no-reason-to-buy-another-playstation-or-xbox/). With the prices of new consoles expected to be the highest ever, that may help explain why Sony is killing of discs in 2028(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/over-220000-people-petition-sony-not-to-kill-physical-playstation-game-discs/). If companies like Sony and Microsoft are going to sell fewer consoles in the future, as data suggests(https://www.gamesindustry.biz/analyst-game-console-shipments-expected-to-decline-195-to-339m-units-in-2026), then shifting to an all-digital world helps improve margins(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/playstations-disc-based-game-sales-have-dropped-dramatically-in-recent-years/) to mitigate the impact of fewer hardware sales.

🎮 PlayStation, Xbox, Multi-platformDying Light: The Beast canceled on PS4 and Xbox One
Techland's open-world zombie game Dying Light: The Beast is apparently too beefy for previous-generation hardware.
🎮 PlayStation, Xbox, Multi-platformAnother Game Skips Last-Gen, As Dying Light: The Beast Dumps PS4/Xbox One
Dying Light: The Beast was released last year for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S, with developer Techland promising a last-gen version of the game as well. That's no longer the case, as the studio says it has made the "difficult decision" to cancel the PS4 and Xbox One versions, due to the game's visuals being too advanced for those systems to handle. "Dying Light: The Beast was built from the ground up to take full advantage of current-generation hardware," Techland said(https://x.com/DyingLightGame/status/2077000243455906018) in a statement. "Its open world, advanced visuals, and fluid combat and traversal all depend on processing power and memory that previous-generation consoles simply cannot provide." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kZ17PvGRgF0 Techland added that while development progressed on the last-gen versions, it came to the conclusion that the games would need to be technically compromised in a way that impacted the experience the studio sought to offer players. The developer added that it wasn't a matter of leaving those older platforms behind, but that they could not keep up with the demands of the game. Anyone who was expecting to play Dying Light: The Beast on PS4 or Xbox One and preordered the game will be eligible for a refund. Dying Light: The Beast isn't the only game to pull the plug on a last-gen release. The last few years have seen numerous titles focus purely on current-gen tech and PC, like Gotham Knights(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/gotham-knights-will-not-offer-performance-mode-on-console-runs-only-at-30-fps/1100-6508324/) and Hogwarts Legacy(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/hogwarts-legacy-last-gen-ports-delayed/1100-6512076/), while Cyberpunk 2077's major updates and Phantom Liberty expansion skipped the older consoles(https://www.gamespot.com/videos/cyberpunk-2077-reveals-dlc-ditches-last-gen-consoles/2300-6459403/) as well--likely due to the game suffering from severe performance issues on those platforms. The world of Dying Light: The Beast expanded with a free update(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/new-dying-light-the-beast-update-makes-your-choices-actually-matter-for-once/1100-6539002/) back in March that put much more emphasis on survival. The new mode allowed players to permanently clear out zombies from zones and repopulate them with people, but the catch with the Restored Land update was that supplies would be harder to find due to them no longer respawning, containers weren't as plentiful with goodies, and shops would charge a premium for their stock. "Techland's expansion turned standalone sequel winds up being the most enjoyable Dying Light so far, because it dials back the power fantasy," Mark Delaney wrote in GameSpot's Dying Light: The Beast review(https://www.gamespot.com/reviews/dying-light-the-beast-review/1900-6418407/).

🖥 PlayStation, Xbox, PCAC Black Flag Resynced: How to get the Skeleton Crew
!(https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/skeleton-black-flag.jpg?width=690&quality=85&format=jpg&auto=webp) One of the most popular aesthetic choices for your pirate comrades in the original 2013 release of Black Flag was a skin that transformed them into the undead miscreants of the Pirates of the Carribean, and Black Flag Resynced brings back this look in perfect splendour. The means by which you obtain the Skeleton Crew(https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/games/skeleton-crew) is different in this remaster, however. No longer is the look a reward for completing certain in-game challenges. Instead, the Skeleton Crew's appearance can now be purchased outright - not exactly with cold, hard coin, but for literal Animal Bones. In this guide, we'll explain how to get the Skeleton Crew in Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced, and we'll also delve into how to get Animal Bones, which can be tricky to come by if you've only just begun sailing around the Caribbean.

🎮 PlayStation, Multi-platformThe New PlayStation Black Ops Ports Feel Like The Bare Minimum
The first two Call of Duty: Black Ops games have launched on PS5 and PS4(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/black-ops-1-and-2-are-coming-to-ps4-and-ps5/), but they're not exactly the remasters that fans were expecting. Both games feature a high price considering their age--$40 each--while their respective DLC packs are being sold as optional extras(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/call-of-duty-black-ops-1-and-2-ports-are-out-now-on-ps5-but-dlc-costs-extra/), an odd move considering how most remasters include that content to sweeten the deal. To make things worse, it looks like the technical presentation isn't much to write home about either, as the PlayStation ports feature barely any noticeable improvements at all. According to Digital Foundry(https://www.digitalfoundry.net/news/2026/07/the-new-call-of-duty-black-ops-port-charges-usd40p35-for-a-basic-1080p-upgrade), Call of Duty: Black Ops 1 and 2 have been updated to run at 1080p on PS5 and PS4, and that's it. No option for a 4K resolution on PS5 or the opportunity to push the framerate to 120Hz, no improved shadows or lighting, and no quality-of-life updates like you'd find in modern Call of Duty games at all. In comparison, the original Call of Duty: Black Ops 1 and 2 games get the resolution bump for free on Xbox Series X|S through the console's backwards compatibility program, while PC gamers have been creating custom mods for years now. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZUdEf79y7jw As mentioned above, each remaster is being sold for $40, and their map packs cost $30 each. That's $70 per game, but it is worth mentioning that Activision is offering a discount to PlayStation Plus subscribers, dropping the price to $20 per game and $10 per map pack. Still, paying $60 per complete edition of a game is expensive, especially when they aren't that much of an improvement compared to the original titles. "For a native PS5 title and a somewhat high-profile port, this is a deeply odd state of affairs. Even the game's obvious visual blemishes are preserved: shadow quality was necessarily poor back in the day, but why preserve that problem in the present day when so much more graphics horsepower is available?" Digital Foundry wrote. Meanwhile, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4(https://www.gamespot.com/games/call-of-duty-modern-warfare-4/) was recently revealed and will be out later this year. Unlike the 2024 and 2025 games, Black Ops 6 and Black Ops 7, Modern Warfare 4 will not be available on Game Pass at launch, and Activision is busy reminding players in ads for the game(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/activision-promotes-call-of-duty-mw4-by-telling-you-its-not-on-game-pass/). Modern Warfare 4 will launch for PC, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Switch 2(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/modern-warfare-4-on-switch-2-has-been-so-smooth-for-infinity-ward/) on October 23.
