So far, we know very little about the new Mass Effect game, but Bioware are slowly revealing bits of information about it. Although we have nothing to use to paint ourselves a picture of Mass Effect 4, we do have some details to go on.

Recently, senior development director of Mass Effect 4, Chris Wynn, sent out a tweet, giving Mass Effect fans another very small piece of the Mass Effect 4 puzzle. In Wynn's tweet, it read "Things are getting real now and I need an excellent producer to come shape online for the next Mass Effect."

Whilst he didn't straight up state that Mass Effect 4 will be getting some form of online play, asking for a producer for online pretty much confirms we will be getting some kind of online component in Mass Effect 4.

Because we know so little about the upcoming Mass Effect game, we really don't have anything to suggest here. It could be possible that there could be some kind of multiplayer gameplay separate from the main story. Alternatively,

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"

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

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

The first DLC pack for Call of Duty Advanced Warfare has finally arrived on the Xbox, and it can now be picked up for both the Xbox One and the Xbox 360 as part of an early access deal. The Havoc DLC will also be released for the PC and the PlayStation consoles at some point in February.

The new Havoc DLC pack comes with a wide range of new content, including four brand new maps, and the anticipated exo zombies survival co-op mode.

The four maps included in the Havoc DLC are Sideshow, Core, Urban and Drift. Sideshow is a shanty town built within a cargo ship. Core is within a large drilling station, and Drift is a small sized snow town. Finally, Urban is a packed city area.

Before the Havoc DLC was officially released, two new weapons were also put out as part of the Havoc DLC pack. Season pass players were able to take hold of the weapons in the Havoc DLC earlier in the year. The weapons included a new laser AE4 Widowmaker rifle, and a direct variation of the same

If you haven't had the chance to play State of Decay yet, you might want to wait just a little bit longer before playing the solo zombie survival game. It has just been announced that State of Decay will be getting a new gen remaster for the Xbox One, and Undead Labs plan to release it fairly shortly.

The new remastered version by Undead Labs will be called State of Decay Year One Survival Edition and it will bring remastered graphics, 1080P resolution, as well as a few new gameplay features. The remastered version will also be bundled with both the Lifeline and Breakdown DLC packs that were released earlier in it's release cycle.

A rework has been applied to some of the animations in the new remaster of State of Decay, and improvements have also been made to the environment textures, but that's just the start of the changes. Jeff Strain, founder of Undead Labs has mentioned a few more things about the new version.

"We're taking some of the base management features

A new Master Chief Collection update has been planned to improve online matchmaking, but strangely 343 Industries will not make the update available to all players straight away.

The update, which has since been delayed, was planned to fix many issues with the current in-game matchmaking system. Whilst 343 Industries did mention that they would release the update this month, new plans reveal that most players will not get to experience the update at all.

Before full release, the matchmaking update will be pushed to a select few US beta participants, and these members will be able to help stress test the matchmaking before it is finally rolled out globally.

To enter the beta process and be in with a chance of entering the matchmaking beta, you must reside in the US and join the Xbox One preview program. 343 Industries gave a small statement about the update.

"In recent weeks, we have been conducting extensive internal testing of an upcoming content update for

DriveClub developers Evolution Studios have taken to social media to announce a brand new DLC pack that has just launched for their game. The DLC pack, named DriveClub Japan, features a variety of tracks located in Japan.

What’s most exciting about the news from all this though is that the DLC pack will be put up for free, and all players will be able to get in game and download it. Evolution Studios seem to be pretty thankful of the community feedback at the moment, and as a result it looks like the Japan DLC will be our thank you gift.

In a post on their Facebook page, Evolution Studios wrote, "Along with our own research and gameplay data analysis, your input has been a big help in shaping all of the tracks we're developing for Japan. Especially the many, many requests for an epic point-to-point like this and for wider tracks to make fighting for position less frustrating, particularly in online races."

On top of the new free Japan DLC pack, Evolution Studios have

If you're a fan of the Sniper franchise, you may want to look into picking up the Sniper 3 Ultimate Edition. The extended collector's edition of the game will include various extra digital features that are not available with the base game.

Unfortunately, there will not be any additional physical content for the Ultimate Edition of Sniper 3, so in a sense, purchasing the Ultimate Edition serves as buying the season pass for the game.

Inside of the Ultimate Edition, players will receive a 3 part 'Save Churchill' DLC. On top of the DLC, six different weapons packs will be included. The weapons packs available in the Sniper 3 Ultimate Edition have been listed below.

Hunter Weapons Pack
Camouflage Weapons Pack
Patriot Weapons Pack
Sniper Rifles Weapons Pack
Axis Weapons Pack
Eastern Front Weapons Pack

Additionally to the above content, the Ultimate pack will allow players to access a few new multiplayer modes, including The Shooting

A new patch was planned to roll out for the Master Chief Collection last week but it has since been delayed. The patch had been mentioned to include some fixes to matchmaking whilst adding some general tweaks to multiplayer, campaigns and interfaces.

Whilst 343 Industries failed to mention why the patch was delayed, they have since confirmed that the release of the patch has been pushed back till later this January. According to 343, the patch should be up and ready to install within the "next few days."

It's a shame that after all this time, the Master chief Collection is still not working 100% as planned, but 343 are still working on it.

The patch notes for the upcoming patch rolling out later this week can be read below.

Matchmaking:
Improved matchmaking search success rates.
Made an update to reduce instances of "Awaiting Privileges" matchmaking errors.
Made an update to ensure player counts more reliably match the expected numbers for each
