Thursday: 9-6-18: Nintendo Direct Delay by Earthquake, Death Stranding Stage Event, and the Black Ops 4 Battle Royale Map

It doesn’t really feel like Thursday, but here’s Thursday’s news.

  • Nintendo Direct Delayed
  • Death Stranding Stage Event
  • Call of Duty Battle Royale Map

Nintendo Direct Delays


Due to the recent earthquake in Hokkaido, Japan, Nintendo has decided to delay the Nintendo Direct planned for this evening. A new date and time hasn’t been announced yet, though they’ll let us know. My sympathies go out to those involved in the event.

Death Stranding Stage Event


Kojima Productions recently announced that there will be a Death Stranding stage event at this year’s Tokyo Game Show on September 23. Present at the event will be game director Hideo Kojima, accompanied by various Japanese cast members. As for what we can expect, I have absolutely no clue.

Call of Duty Battle Royale Map


As you may have heard, Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 will have a battle royale mode, titled Blackout. Now developer Treyarch has released the map of the mode. Visible above. While this doesn’t tell us much, it certainly looks well thought out.


That’s all for today! Tune in tomorrow for not only the news but the latest episode of the Cozy Co-op podcast! Otherwise, have a great day!

Wednesday 9-5-18: Nintendo Direct Tomorrow, Oldschool Runescape Mobile Release Date, and Prey’s Rougelike Update

Hello folks! It’s a day of news, particularly one of video games. Here is that news.

  • Nintendo Direct Tomorrow
  • Oldschool Runescape Mobile Release Date
  • Prey Mooncrash Update

Nintendo Direct


Nintendo has announced their next Direct. Taking place tomorrow at 3PM CT/6PM ET and running about 35 minutes long, the direct will cover a variety of Nintendo Switch and 3DS titles. You can watch the direct live video this webpage, or through the YouTube video embedded above. I’d love to speculate what it may show. But to be honest, I have no idea.

Oldschool Runescape Mobile Release Date


Remember when Jagex announced a mobile version of the popular online MMO? Well it’s finally coming soon. According to a recent statement, the mobile variant is launching on Android and iOS on October 30. It will offer full cross-platform play with PC. It can be “pre-registered” on the Android and iOS markets respectively. You can read more about it on the announcement post.

Prey Update


Prey’s recent DLC Mooncrash featured a new, roguelike game mode taking place on the moon. To celebrate the genre, developer Arkane has announced an update, known as Rouge Moon. The free update implements new skins for the little robot guys that you can find around the game (I think they’re called operators?). Each skin is a homage to various famous roguelike games, such as Risk of Rain, Spelunky, and so on.


That’s all for today, tune in tomorrow for another news post. Otherwise, have a great day!
