The official western release date for Persona 5 Royal was just announced, previously teased through a Twitter countdown from Atlus and unveiled through a new trailer.

Quantic Dream, the French studio behind adventure games like Detroit: Become Human and Heavy Rain, has been ordered to pay more than $7000 to an ex-employee for the circulation of vulgar images, according to a report by French publication Le Monde (translated via Gamasutra).Le Monde reports that Quantic Dream remained "passive" as vulgar images of an ex-employee "performing a salute Nazi" circulated around the studio. In the face of Quantic Dream knowing about and doing nothing to prevent these images from propagating, a French judge ordered the studio to pay a total of €7,000 (or approximately $7,753) for an infringement of the employee's security."By remaining passive in the face of this more than questionable practice, which can not be justified by the 'humorous' spirit prevailing in society, the employer has committed a breach of the security obligation [vis-à -vis its employees]," said the judge in a translated statement.Quantic Dream, who will pay €5,000 (~$5,538) directly to the ex-employee plus €2,000 (~$2,215) for legal fees, released a statement on Twitter saying it has no plans to appeal the decision.pic.twitter.com/AwtSvu0vm5 — QUANTIC DREAM (@Quantic_Dream) December 2, 2019This case is the latest against Quantic Dream, a studio that, according to reports from 2018, allegedly fosters a toxic work environment. The French judge who handed out the ruling called these images "homophobic, misogynistic, racist, or deeply vulgar" and condemned the studio for its inaction.Info from Gamespot.com

During the '80s and '90s, it was a golden era for weird children's game shows. From Legends of the Hidden Temple's Shrine of the Silver Monkey to Nick Arcade's weird blue screen final round, game shows during this era combined trivia, physical challenges, and at least one overly-frustrating moment in the final round. Why are we talking about game shows from 30 years ago? Because it seems like Disney+ may be taking a few notes from that era for its new show Star Wars: Jedi Temple Challenge.The 2020 Disney+ game was revealed on the official Star Wars website recently, and it sounds a lot like a game show from the past. According to the synopsis, Jedi Temple Challenge will "test young contestants' abilities in the core Jedi principles of strength, knowledge, and bravery as they face thrilling and fun obstacles in an attempt to achieve the rank of Jedi Knight."The contestants will be utilizing lightsabers, the Force, traveling through hyperspace, and there's even a bit of the dark side sprinkled in. While it's too early to tell, this does sound a bit like the Nickelodeon series Legends of the Hidden Temple, but with Jedi. That sounds like a winning combination. The host will be none other than Ahmed Best, who will be a mentor and Jedi Master on the show. Many of you may already know Best as Jar Jar Binks from the Star Wars prequels. He'll be joined by a droid companion played by Marry Holland.

"The various challenges will test a Padawan's connection to the Force in three locations--a forest planet, on board a Jedi star cruiser, and inside a Jedi temple--immersing them and the audience in a fun, humorous, and exciting competition."At this time, Star Wars: Jedi Temple Challenge will launch on Disney+ sometime in 2020.

Destiny 2's Season of the Undying ends in a week, which means its next batch of content, the Season of the Dawn, is nearly upon us. We've heard very little about what to expect from the new season--until now, that is. Bungie just dropped a new trailer that shows off what to expect with the next weekly reset, and finally gives some clarity to what the cryptic phrase "fix the timeline" means. Destiny 2 News And Guides PSA: Everything Leaving Destiny 2 In One Week Destiny 2's Season Of The Dawn Gets A New Time Travel-Filled Trailer Destiny 2 Exotic Bow: "Make Bows, Not War" Quest Steps For Leviathan's Breath Destiny 2 Shadowkeep Raid Guide: How To Beat The Garden Of Salvation Bungie shared the trailer on Twitter, which shifts Destiny 2's focus away from the moon, the major location of the Shadowkeep expansion and the Season of the Undying, to Mercury. According to the trailer, the events of the Season of the Undying have messed up the timeline, thanks to the meddling of the time-traveling enemy robots, the Vex. That's left an opening for the Cabal to try to use time travel to change the events of the Red War, Destiny 2's vanilla story campaign.Fight through time. Save a legend.Season of Dawn begins December 10.Ⳡhttps://t.co/N5n5S25vuV pic.twitter.com/xCSZWCuotz — Destiny 2 (@DestinyTheGame) December 3, 2019As the trailer shows, you'll be interacting a lot with Osiris, a legendary exiled Guardian who was the focus of the Curse of Osiris expansion back in Destiny 2's first year. Osiris has been hanging out on Mercury, fighting the Vex and preventing them from using their time travel powers to change the timeline. He now has a machine called the Sundial, which apparently is also related to time travel, and will be the focus of a new six-player activity. Though we didn't get many details in the trailer, it looks like you'll be defending against waves of enemies, not unlike the Vex Offensive activity from the Season of the Undying. The Sundial activity will be available to season pass holders but not free players, according to the Season of the Dawn rundown on Bungie's website.The story of the season also has a big lore hook: Saint-14. Another legendary Guardian, Saint-14 was the original Titan Vanguard leader, who held the role before the current Vanguard, Zavala. He famously took on the Vex and was killed, and over the years, we've gathered a few artifacts related to him that have told his story, like the Helm of Saint-14 Exotic helmet and the Perfect Paradox shotgun.The legendary Guardian Saint-14 fell to the Vex, but it sounds like you'll be saving him--with the help of time travel.Not only are we defending the timeline against the Cabal, it also looks like we'll be traveling through time and making some changes of our own. Chief among them: We'll be trying to save Saint-14 once and for all.What's New In Season Of The DawnFree-to-playLantern of Osiris seasonal artifactSymmetry Exotic scout rifle (seasonal reward)Righteous armor set (seasonal reward)New Obelisk activity in four different locationsRequires Season PassTime travel-focused story activitySundial, new six-player activityExotic questsSeasonal armor setsSeasonal ornamentsNew Triumphs, Bounties, and Seasonal Lore BooksExotic Emote, Ghost, Ornament, and FinisherAdditional seasonal rewardsThe trailer also hints at a bunch of other new stuff in the season, including new Exotic weapon quests and the return of the Rusted Lands Crucible map from Destiny 1. From the sounds of things in the trailer, it'll be the location of a new Elimination game mode.There are a few additional details about the season on Bungie's website as well, including this explanation of what sounds like the main story thrust of the season: "Help Osiris fix the timeline by restoring Obelisks on four destinations."Bungie's rundown of the Season of the Dawn mentions helping Osiris fix the timeline by repairing obelisks located at four different locations. This image seems to show one on the Tangled Shore.The Season of the Dawn rundown shows off the new season pass rewards, which includes Symmetry, a new Exotic scout rifle that season pass holders will unlock immediately at the start of the season, and free players will earn at rank 35. Bungie also showed off the new armor you'll be earning throughout the season, and teased the next seasonal artifact, the Lantern of Osiris. If last season was any indication, it'll likely unlock a bunch of season-specific mods, while also boosting your overall Power level above the hard Power cap of 960.Bungie announced last week it's planning a live stream with more information about the Season of the Dawn ahead of its launch. That's set to take place at 10 AM PT on Wednesday, December 4, so stay tuned for more info about what to expect from the season later this week.Info from Gamespot.com

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare has released its first season of live content on PC, PS4, and Xbox One with its first Battle Pass, as well as patch notes that cover all the changes that came along with the new content. A Battle Pass trailer also shows off some of the loot you can earn by purchasing it.The patch notes include several of the new additions that came with the season, along with some general fixes and balance tweaks. In particular the .357 Buckshot has been nerfed, with a reduction to both damage range and hip fire damage. Several of the changes are targeted toward improving the PC experience, with changes to both KBM controls and PC shaders. You can check out the full patch notes below.This is the first Battle Pass for Modern Warfare, which Infinity Ward is using in lieu of map packs that split the player base. The battle pass has free tiers for items that impact gameplay like new guns, but several more paid tiers include cosmetic items to earn. The battle pass costs 1,000 CoD Points (roughly $10).Aside from the Battle Pass content, the patch adds a number of new maps (Port, Atrium, Cargo, and Crash), and two more maps (Vacant and Shipment) are coming during the season. It also adds Infected, Reinforce, and Gunfight OSP modes, while removing Gun Game, Shoot House 24/7, and 2v2 Gunfight Tournament modes from the playlist.Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Season One Patch NotesPLAYLIST UPDATE:Added:Crash 24/7Port added to Ground WarReinforceAdded Rammaza and Gun Runner to TDM 20 and DOM 20Added night maps to Hardcore TDM, Search and Destroy, Cyber AttackRemoved:Gun Game (available in Private Match)Shoot House 24/72v2 Gunfight TournamentGENERAL FIXES:Riot Shield:Tuning to how the Riot Shield protects against grenades when thrown at the players' feetReduced explosive damage within certain rangesFixed a bug where the final killcam would appear under the map when a player got stuck by Thermite or Semtex on the lower part of the bodyFixed an issue where players stuck inside the Infantry Assault Vehicle would not take damage from ThermiteFix for a bug where attempting to scroll to the bottom of the Recent Players list could cause the list to read “No Recent Players†and return to the topGunfight (private match): Fixes ‘Win by Two’ setting to end the game properly once the conditions have been metMissions and Challenges:The following are now fixed and have had their descriptions updated as needed“Close and Personalâ€â€œPerks of the Jobâ€â€œBloodthirsty Killerâ€â€œDestroy Ground Killstreaks†– All player-driven vehicles will count towards this launcher camo challenge“Get 50 kills while an enemy UAV is active†– description updated to reflect that the Ghost perk needs to be equipped in order to completeCombat Knife challenge descriptions updated.357 camo challengeVarious updates to other camo challengesFix for Officer Challenge completion notifications not appearing on screenKillstreaks:Improved effectiveness of FMJ on KillstreaksFix for the Cluster Strike dealing damage inconsistently when targeting a VTOL jetWeapons:.357: Buckshot: reduced damage range, reduced effective hip fire damage.

Bungie just gave us our first look at its next Destiny 2 content season, the Season of the Dawn, with a new trailer and some details about what's coming. But the beginning of a new season means the end of the current one, and under Destiny 2's new system, that means several activities and items that are currently available will disappear with the weekly reset on December 10. Destiny 2 News And Guides PSA: Everything Leaving Destiny 2 In One Week Destiny 2's Season Of The Dawn Gets A New Time Travel-Filled Trailer Destiny 2 Exotic Bow: "Make Bows, Not War" Quest Steps For Leviathan's Breath Destiny 2 Shadowkeep Raid Guide: How To Beat The Garden Of Salvation On its website, Bungie released a fairly extensive list of everything that will no longer be a part of the game when the Season of the Undying comes to an end. Probably the biggest is the current seasonal activity, Vex Offensive, which retires from the game with the start of the Season of the Dawn. Along with it goes the Vex-specific weapons you can earn from the activity and the various Triumphs related to it, as well as the Undying seal and title they can unlock.If you're a Destiny 2 New Light player, you should also finish the Leviathan's Breath Exotic quest. According to Bungie's list, players on the free-to-play side will lose access to the quest at the end of the season, although that suggests that if you paid for the season pass (which was included with the Shadowkeep expansion), you'll still be able to finish it. Check out the complete list below for everything that's ending along with the Season of the Undying.Content Being Removed With Season Of The UndyingSeason of the Undying Season Pass and bonuses from the Season PassSeason of the Undying Seal and TitleThe Vex OffensiveVex invasions on the MoonWeapon frames and bounties from Ikora for the Vex OffensiveIkora’s Vex Offensive Weekly ChallengeEmblems and Shader Quests/items from Season of the UndyingIncomplete items in the Collection Badge will turn invisibleLore – “The Last Days on Kraken Mareâ€The Gatelord’s Eye seasonal artifactPlayer power increase from the Gatelord’s EyeSeason of the Undying artifact modsThe Leviathan's Breath exotic quest if players didn't own the Season PassSeason of the Undying specific materials (Vex components, etc)Triumphs Being Removed With Season Of The UndyingSeason 8: Power BonusSeason 8: ProgressThe Front LinesFinal AssaultRapid AssaultPrecise AssaultPerfect AssaultFlawless AssaultOffensive ExpertOffensive TacticianOffensive SharpshooterOffensive FinisherOperativeMoonlight CrescendoLunar FashionDark Side of the MoonCrater SparkOver the MoonSeason 8: VanguardSeason 8: NightfallSeason 8: EngagementSeason 8: RitualsSeason 8: CombatSeason 8: ChallengesSeason 8: Valor LegendSeason 8: ValorSeason 8: Glory StreakSeason 8: GlorySeason 8: Iron BannerSeason 8: Iron WillInfo from Gamespot.com

Sony has been prompted by the FBI to hand over information on a PlayStation 4 user that allegedly used the system's online services to distribute thousands of dollars of cocaine, according to Vice.The search warrant application, filed in October 2019 in Missouri, is ordering Sony to disclose any and all information for a man named Curtis "Dola" Alexander, including the games he played, his progress in those games, the physical address and telephone numbers associated with his account, and more.The FBI alleges that Alexander, under the username "Speedola20," was in contact with someone through the PlayStation Network to coordinate a $34,000 per kilogram sale of cocaine. The application reports that a Confidential Human Source (or CHS), who said Alexander contacted them "during game," helped the FBI in the investigation.The application later notes that a trap was set for the Bureau to surveil Alexander selling the CHS a bag of approximately 100 grams of white powder for $4,400. After the sale, Alexander told the CHS they would talk later in the game, though what game Alexander was using has not been named. Still, it has been confirmed that Alexander used PlayStation's messaging service to get in contact with the CHS.As aforementioned, the FBI is requesting all information on Curtis "Dola" Alexander from Sony. As well as what games he played and how far he's gotten, the Bureau is seeking personal information about his account, such as name, physical address, telephone numbers, associated passwords, security questions and answers, and technical information such as the IP address used to register and log into the account.Info from Gamespot.com

Rainbow Six Siege Year 4, Season 4: Operation Shifting Tides is officially live. Like previous seasons in Year 4, the Operation Shifting Tides update adds two new playable Operators. The new season makes adjustments to an old map and implements notable gameplay changes too.The two new Operators--Jaimini Kalimohan "Kali" Shah and Ngũgĩ Muchoki "Wamai" Furaha--have already been introduced, but both have been fleshed out a little more in a brand-new trailer. In the trailer, which is embedded below, Kali is on the phone with (presumably) Team Rainbow.Unlike the majority of Team Rainbow's recruits, Kali and Wamai are private military contractors, so Kali isn't willing to join the anti-terrorist group until she's been paid. Her abrasive behavior eventually wins out, and she agrees to join Team Rainbow and bring her "best man" with her. While she haggles on the phone, Wamai is meditating underwater--showcasing how his abnormal physiology and history in the Navy allow him to hold his breath significantly longer than a normal human.For now, Kali and Wamai have only released for Rainbow Six Siege Year 4 Season Pass owners. If you don't have the pass, you'll have to wait until December 10--and even then, it will still cost you Renown or R6 Credits to purchase them. Regardless of whether you have the pass of not, all players now have access to the reworked Theme Park map. The old map has been changed in several ways: the train in the center is gone, the east and west sections are now closer together, and the downstairs area has been remodeled.Of all the gameplay changes that Operation Shifting Tides brings, the biggest is the addition of limb penetration. Bullets fired from certain weapons will now penetrate through arms and legs, allowing you to potentially damage multiple enemies in a single shot. The update also adds new Operator and weapon skins and lowers the price for purchasing Hibana, Echo, Dokkaebi, Vigil, Kaid, and Nomad.Rainbow Six Siege is available for Xbox One, PS4, and PC.Info from Gamespot.com

Rockstar has detailed the next big update for Red Dead Redemption 2's multiplayer component, Red Dead Online, and it's coming soon. The update arrives on December 13 and introduces a slew of new content to the online game, headlined by a new Frontier Pursuit, the Moonshiner.The Moonshiner is a new Specialist Role that Traders can choose. As you'd expect, this role deals in the illicit activity of running your own bootlegging business. As a Moonshiner, you'll gradually learn new techniques to perfect your moonshine, compete with rival bootleggers, and potentially even open your own speakeasy.To embark down the Moonshiner path, you'll first need to have completed a Trader sell mission or reached rank 5. Once you've met either criteria, you'll be introduced to Maggie Fike, who Rockstar describes as "an experienced bootlegger with the scars to prove it." You can begin your career as a Moonshiner by purchasing a Moonshining Shack, which will serve as your base of operations.As usual, the Moonshiner pursuit comes with its own unique story missions, which can be completed either solo or cooperatively with another player. As you progress down the path, you'll also learn new recipes and techniques and even have the chance to open a customizable bar. You can read more details about the upcoming Moonshiner role on Rockstar's official blog.The Moonshiner pursuit isn't the only new content coming as part of Red Dead Online's December 13 update. Rockstar hasn't shared many more details yet on what the patch will entail, but the developer teases there will also be a new weapon--the Navy Revolver--as well as Outlaw Pass No. 2, new clothing options, and more.Info from Gamespot.com

Normally, reunion specials can be a bit dry, but on the Game of Thrones: The Complete Series Blu-ray, there is a two-part special that's informative and really funny.The two-part special brings back the cast and creators of the series, including folks who were killed off early on in the show, like Jason Momoa, who played Khal Drogo. However, unlike other reunion specials, this one was lighthearted and fun. Moderated by talk show host and comedian Conan O'Brien, the actors talk about their experiences on set, while O'Brien peppers in moments like reminding Iain Glen that his character Jorha Mormont was dubbed "Sir Friendzone" on the internet.One of the funniest moments of the special is a video piece where Emilia Clarke and Kit Harington are being interviewed on set about their experiences. Clarke has nothing but nice things to say about filming in Morocco and Spain, while Harington is stuck in Iceland, sleet hitting his head, while he says miserably, "Shooting in Iceland has been so cold. 35 mile per hour winds, and they're frozen." In addition, you get to see the cast react to these interviews with picture-in-picture, which mainly consisted of Clarke laughing at Harington's pain.For the Game of Thrones: The Complete Series, you also get a digital copy to watch on the go--if you don't have an HBO Go or HBO Now account. The set is loaded with tons of special features, including a 3-disc set of just extras that aren't attached to specific seasons.
