In a press release today, titled «Microsoft concession a gamechanger that will promote competition,» the UK's Competition and Market Authority (CMA) has announced that it's approving Microsoft's $69 billion acquisition of Activision Blizzard, reversing its April decision to block the deal and clearing the way for the deal to close in the very near future.

Dead Island 2 invites players to indulge their fetishes with its first story expansion, Haus.

Following its launch in April 2023, Dead Island 2 is set to receive its first story expansion on November 2, with its second in the works and slated for release next year. 

Dead Island 2 was one of those games that most of us thought would be left in development hell. The game was first revealed during E3 2014, where we would go through a new zombie FPS, this time developed under Yager Development after Techland opted to work on Dying Light after they finished Dead Island. However, as you all know, the game swapped development studios and was consistently delayed. It wouldn’t be until earlier this year that the game finished development and was released into the marketplace. 

Dead Island 2’s first story expansion will be released on November 2, 2023, Deep Silver has announced.

Dredge is easily one of my favourite games of 2023—and considering how many bangers have released this year, that's a pretty big deal. Its sinister blend of fishing and Eldritch horror had me hooked, and next month I'll be able to experience even more thanks to its Pale Reach DLC.
