GTA 6 Will Come Soon and Bring a Female Protagonist

The announcement regarding the launch of GTA 6 is one of the most expected news from the gaming industry since the beginning of 2018. Rockstar was expected to release the new game in 2018, but they claimed that other games deserve their attention as well, so decided to focus on Red Dead Redemption 2.

Despite this statement, Red Dead Redemption 2 is still months away, so we can imagine that the developer decided to work on GTA 6 as well. Besides, games from this franchise have proven their profitability, since GTA 5 sold over 95 million copies in the entire world. Considering this, GTA 6 is inevitable and surely under development as we speak. Although Rockstar isn’t sharing any information on the subject, a few reliable leaks mention some of GTA 6’s new features.

Mexico City and Las Vegas are possible locations for GTA 6

The first piece of information on GTA 6 appeared in 2016. An insider from Rockstar stated that this version of the franchise will be settled back in the 1970s, just like Vice City. This setting could be given by the fact that Vice City had great success among gamers. In the same occasion, the insider added that possible locations for GTA 6 are Chicago, Mexico City, Las Vegas and Detroit.

The game’s development takes a lot of time

Reliable sources say that huge games like GTA 6 take a lot of time to be developed. This is one of the reasons that create such time gaps between the launch of one version and the following one.

A female protagonist is a cherry on the cake

Another leak claims that one of the most exciting features within GTA 6 is the existence of a female protagonist. This addition is according to the players’ options. Now they will have the opportunity to choose their main character from several figures; one of these figures will be a female. If this is true, the game could have even more success because there are many women who play games like GTA.

Minecraft Update Download Available – Cross-play Features for PC, Xbox, Switch and Mobile

Last year, Minecraft developers announced that the “Bedrock” update will bring cross-play features which will facilitate the gamers’ unity on PC, Nintendo Switch and Xbox hardware, as well as on mobile platforms. In addition, the game proved that the multiplayer cross-platform works safely and can contribute to Switch’s version parity with other platforms.

Cross-play allows gamers to access the Minecraft Marketplace

The new feature will give users access to the Minecraft Marketplace for buying new skin, community creations and texture packs. Gamers have been waiting for this update since last fall, when other platforms got it. At that moment, the Minecraft team announced that Switch will get it until the holiday season. This year in May, they said that it will arrive on June 21st and kept their word.

The update comes with new facilities

Existing owners can get the update for free, while the others will have to pay $30. Recent reports mention that it comes with a Super Mario mash-up pack and Phase One from Update Aquatic.

Another important advantage is that Switch players will be able to earn gamer scores and achievements if they play the game on a portable console or handheld hybrid. Xbox users have had the opportunity to use this features ever since 2005.

Future plans

Once the update was available, Sony had to face a difficult situation. It had to block the use of existing Epic Game accounts for millions of Fortnite players when they found that the accounts were used to play the game on PlayStation 4.

On the other hand, Microsoft and Nintendo had teamed up for preparing the Bedrock update’s trailer in the attempt to cause even more damage to the competition. Since the two giants already allow cross-play on their platforms, we’ll have to wait and see how long it will take until Sony follows their example.

Sims 5 Leaks – New Ideas About Its Release Date

The Sims game has been launched eighteen years ago and since then, it got better and better as time passed. Due to constant improvements, the series is getting more and more fans which are waiting anxiously every new part and update.

The last and most recent version of the game is Sims 4. It was released 4 years ago and since then EA, the developer, offered gamers many DLC content packs with the purpose of updating the experience and getting the most out of each gaming session.

When will the Sims 5 appear?

Even if they were able to enjoy many update of the 4th version of Sims, fans are wondering when will they be able to play Sims 5 for the first time.

Of course, it will be a nice change to see a new installment in the game after trying all the update from the 4th version. Unfortunately, Sims fans will have to wait a long time until EA starts working on the 5th version of the game.

Some speculations connect the developer ’s tendency to release a new installment within the Sims every five years with a possible release date for part 5. If this were true, next year gamers could finally get their hands on Sims 5 and we might soon hear the announcement that will make them very happy.

Instead, EA might decide to promote more DLCs for Sims 4 because the game seems to be one of the company’s most profitable products. On the other hand, some users complained about the fact that this version limits some of the exploration liberties they had in Sims 3. This disappointment could determine EA to fix the issue for the awaited version.

Another idea behind this delay could be that EA might be willing to focus on improving the Sims for Mobile game. The thought is supported by the version’s popularity and the fact that Sims for Mobile increased the company’s profit. Since we don’t have any official information concerning Sims 5 release date, all we can do is speculate and wait.

Command & Conquer Mobile Game Unveiled at E3

Good news for the fans of the Command & Conquer series: a new game was revealed during the EA Play presentation at E3. However, this is not a full-scale game, but a version developed for mobile devices. Still, it should offer a lot of fun.

An attempt to capitalize on Clash of Clans’ popularity

Command & Conquer: Rivals takes all the most important features of RTS and transforms them into a mobile game, developed for a small-scale play. This simple 1v1 combat game is an obvious attempt to use the enormous popularity of Clash of Clans in order to join the successful market and take a share of the available money.

What Command & Conquer: Rivals will be like

Players will be able to choose between two fractions well-known from the full-scale Command & Conquer series: Nod and GDI, each of them having their own unique units, such as the mammoth tank. Even though the whole map will be displayed on the screen, your rivals will be covered with the fog of war. The main goal of the game will not be attacking the opponent’s base, but fighting for control over nuclear missiles, which a player can gain by getting access to three point-accumulating pads. This is extremely important, as you can eliminate your enemy by using two such missiles.

EA expects a big success

It remains to be seen if the familiar features will attract the fans of Command & Conquer. After all, the mobile version will be simplified, which only allows to retain some of the elements known from the full-scale game. What we know though, is that this game can earn a lot of money for EA, as the quick and addictive gameplay is what the mobile gaming is all about.

So far, the early version presented at EA Play is far from the finished product. It could still take a lot of time to implement the necessary changes and make C&C: Rivals ready for the official release.

Will Halo 6 be an Improvement on Halo 5?

Halo 6

With both Sony and Nintendo maintaining their strong positions in the world of console gaming, the pressure is now on Microsoft to deliver some new exciting titles in order to regain its place alongside the two mentioned companies. It was expected to happen during Microsoft’s Showcase on June 10th, when Halo 6 was rumored to be announced.

What to expect from Halo 6

The new game of the Halo series is expected to be a continuation of Halo 5. It is very likely that we will be able to start exactly where the former game left us. As the final part of the trilogy which started with Halo 4, Halo 6 will keep Cortana as a main villain and the leader of an AI rebellion, whose goal is to reclaim the galaxy by eliminating the biological life.

Criticized for its lacks in the storyline, the Halo series will have a chance to make up for the past shortcomings with the release of Halo 6.

There is a lot to improve

Considering the fact that both Halo 4 and Halo 5 were not really highly rated by fans, the Halo series has to improve a lot in order to go back to its past glory. After all, it used to be one of the most popular online multiplayer games. Nowadays, with the growing fame of the battle royale type of games, Halo 6 has to be a really good title if it wants to reclaim the top spot in the shooter world. As impossible as it sounds, there is a chance that Halo 6 will be a success, knowing that Microsoft really needs it.

When to expect Halo 6

It is rather unlikely for Halo 6 to be launched in 2018, considering the great amount of work that has to be done. However, the next year is a safe bet. Halo 6 is expected to be released on Game Pass and PC just like other Xbox exclusives. So it looks like Halo will return to PC for the first time since Halo 2.
