A brand new image has been posted to the Killzone twitter, suggesting that something will be coming "soon." Despite how vague this information is, it’s pretty clear that whatever that something is, it will be big.
We can only speculate at this point in time - despite the announcement on the Twitter page, we have heard very little from within the Guerilla Games studio. No rumors have been spread in relation to Killzone over the last few months, so once again, we’re pretty short for answers.
Some Killzone players are suggesting that the new announcement may be somewhat related to the PS Vita game, named Killzone Mercenary. Mercenary was released in 2013, so it's completely possible that the game could be receiving a timely update.
Alternatively, there could be a completely new Killzone game for the PS Vita. Considering the 2 year gap since the last PS Vita title, it's not unreasonable to think Guerilla Games may completely scrap Mercenary to work on something completely

So, you may have heard a few times now that the world size in Metal Gear Solid V will be large, but a new analysis of the released map photos suggests that The Phantom Pain might just have a world that is larger than that of Grand Theft Auto V.
In the new analysis by a NeoGAF user, screenshots of the in-game map shows off the size of the playable area, compared to the whole map size. Roughly speaking, the map in the Phantom Pain looks to be around 120 to 150 times the playable size of Ground zeroes, according to the NeoGAF user.
With this information, the user calculated that it would take roughly 3 minutes to drive from one side of the map to the other. Whilst it takes roughly double this to travel across GTA V, the map in question only shows off Africa. Afghanistan is another area in Metal Gear Solid V that has been confirmed, and should roughly be the same size of Africa.
Obviously a lot of the world in MGSV will be open desert land, so it won't feel engaging throughout

In Destiny, the whole point of continuing to play is to earn the best gear you possibly can, but because of the random loot drops, it often comes down to chance, forcing players to play through high level raids again and again.
The most played raid at the moment is the Vault of Glass, and whilst a lot of players have managed to get some nice loot from the raid legitimately, one player named BungieHelp02 clearly hasn't been playing by the rules.
Thanks to a video by Reddit user AerobicPie73630 we can get a glimpse of BungieHelp02's loadout and inventory. The first thing that is noticeable is that the character has a 365 damage Shadow Price, one of the rarest Legendary drops from the Vault of Glass. The same can be said for his Unfriendly Giant rocket launcher.
The most interesting item in BungieHelp02's loadout is the Prime Zealot Cuirass. The item has 536 defense and an insane light level of 42. Finally, the Bungie dev has a special Sparrow named the SV7 "Lightbearer"

Titanfall originally released on the Xbox One, Xbox 360 and the PC, making it an exclusive for Microsoft platforms. Whilst it wasn't confirmed, at the time of the release, many were assuming that Titanfall would lose it's exclusivity by the time the second title was released.
Let's be honest, Titanfall 2 probably is coming, and Respawn Entertainment are going to do all they can to keep it from dying out before the franchise has even had a chance to flourish. One way for Respawn to accomplish this is to reach out for a multi-platform release, including the PlayStation 4.
So far, nobody at Respawn has confirmed in words that Titanfall 2 will be on PS4, but a new comment by EA CFO Blake Jorgensen kind of suggests that it won't just be the Xbox that will be getting the Respawn treatment in the new future.
Jorgensen stated - "Last year it was on the Xbox only; in the future, we haven't yet announced, but we'll probably have another Titanfall game. It will probably be a bigger

Despite not actually being out yet, some players have already completed The Order 1866, and a selection of those that have completed the game have shared their experiences online. One player, who posted his entire playthrough online, managed to complete The Order 1866 in around five hours and a half.
The 5 hour playthrough followed the player as he completed the main story, whilst neglecting a lot of side missions and extra playable content. Going from this information, we can make a pretty accurate estimate that if you pick up The Order 1866, it's going to take you at least five and a half hours to complete, and that's if you skip everything you possibly can. It's also important to understand that the gamer in question managed to get through without dying a single time.
Despite only lasting five and a half hours, the player described that the story-driven singleplayer in The Order: 1866 felt like it lasted a lot longer. This could partially be down to the fact that the story

The next Batman game is called Batman: Arkham Knight, and it is currently looking very, very, interesting. Whilst Warner Bros didn't do such a good job with Batman Arkham Origins, Rocksteady games are looking to redeem the series.
They did a great job with the previous Batman games, so I'm pretty sure they are going to go out with a bang with Batman: Arkham Knight, or at least that's what I am hoping.
So far, we know that Batman Arkham Knight will feature Scarecrow. A cinematic trailer was released earlier this year that showed off the Batman fighting crime in Gotham City. In the trailer, Scarecrow threatened to cover the city in his infamous fear toxin. As a result, the city gets abandoned, and it's left for the baddies to patrol.
Batman Arkham Knight may be the most open world game yet, and will feature a large variety of different Batman villains, although the main focus will be on Scarecrow this time round.
New screens of Batman Arkham Knight were shared

If you are a hardcore Destiny player, you're probably pretty bored of the content the game is offering you right now. Chances are, you've mastered all of the hard raids, hit the light cap, and even the Vault of Glass isn't a challenge for you anymore. If this is you, then you'll be happy to hear that the new House of Wolves Destiny DLC is coming soon.
Whilst the House of Wolves Destiny DLC was previously announced for march, a new rumor suggests that the content won't be available till May, later in the year. All of this information should be taken with a grain of salt though, it's hard to trust any sources until we've heard it straight from Bungie themselves.
Either way, the same rumors are suggesting that the House of Wolves Destiny DLC will see gear reaching a maximum light level of 39. Weekly activities will also increase in level. Currently sitting at level 30, most activities like Nightfall will be bumped up to level 32.
In total, the House of Wolves Destiny DLC

We talked a little bit about the next Gearbox game last week, but back then, all we knew about it was that it was going to be a new game within the Borderlands IP. We still know very few details about the game, but we do now know a title, (or a subtitle at least) as well as a bit more information.
The next borderlands has been named as Borderlands 3, so it should continue directly from where the other two left off, instead of branching off into a different direction like Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel did.
Another very interesting piece of information shared by Gearbox recently is that Borderlands 3 will not be making it's way to any other consoles other than current gen. We do expect it will be released for PC, but besides from that, only PlayStation 4 and Xbox One players will be able to get their hands on the next Gearbox game.
This is an understandable move - the hardware in older consoles are likely to just keep the development and potential of the game to a bare

So far, we know that the Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is going to be a very large game, but when it comes to actual file size, we've been very unaware of just how large the title would be.
It's just under four months till the final release of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, and after many delays we now know a little bit more about the file size of the game, although these details may only apply to the PS4 version of the game.
The open world in The Witcher 3 is expected to be very large, and the developers of the game, Projekt Red, have promised that the game would have over 100 hours of gameplay in it for those willing to explore all of the in-game content.
So, how does that translate to game file size? It turns out there is a pretty big correlation between game longevity and open world size to the overall game file size. The Witcher 3: Big Wild Hunt will be a minimum of 50GB.
We say a minimum because the blu-ray disc is absolutely brimmed full with data, and if any additional
