Mafia 3 will be following a similar path that many other video games have taken recently. When it comes to additional content after launch, Mafia 3 will be getting DLC in the form of extra story expansions, but there will also be a number of free updates and additional support after launch.
We don't know everything about the free content that will be coming to Mafia 3 just yet, but we do know that there will be something called 'free recurring content' that will be making it's way to the game. The free content will include features such as new character outfits, weapons packs, vehicle customization options, entries into events and additional rewards.
It's likely that all of this free content will be introduced to the game slowly after Mafia 3 launches. As for the paid DLC, like mentioned before, Mafia 3 will receive a number of story expansions that will hit the game sometime after the launch of the game. All of the story expansions will be available as part of the season

John Takeuchi has taken the win at this year's Street Fighter First Attack event. Whilst John Takeuchi hasn't seen any major international wins before, he has been considered an up and coming talent to keep an eye on and this latest win seemed like the perfect start to a great future for the player.
John Takeuchi has quickly taken the hearts of the community, and in fact, it was through a community fundraiser that helped Takeuchi to get out to the First Attack event in the first place. With thanks to the community, Takeuchi not only made it to the event, but he took the win and came home with the hearts of many.
Takeuchi was breaking all sorts of first-time records, not only was he the first person I've ever seen to get such great support from Street Fighter fans, but he was also the first person to ever get a win with Rashid at such a big event. There's no denying that John Takeuchi's skills as Rashid are something we've never seen before.
It wasn't an easy battle

Titanfall was perhaps the most unique first person shooter to be released over the last few years, but the trouble with the first game was that it was quite lacking in content. Fortunately the Respawn Entertainment team have had much more space the second time round to add lots of additional gameplay content.
We don't know much about the gameplay content available in Titanfall 2, but more details are starting to pour in. Recently it was revealed that Titanfall 2 will have 6 different titan types, all of which will have their own unique abilities.
First up we have Northstar, an agile titan with weapons that can snipe other titans and soldiers from a distance. Next we have Legion, a support class titan that can use it's variety of ballistics to help defend areas and keep other enemies at bay.
The third Titan is called Ronin - as the name suggests, this titan is useful up close and personal and holds a samurai-like vibe. Ronin has a phase shift ability that will help him

The next free games for the September PlayStation Plus lineup have been revealed by Sony. There's a lot to get excited about this month.
First up on the PlayStation 4 is Lords of the Fallen, which is a game that has been heavily inspired by the Dark Souls franchise. If you'd like a brutally challenging melee combat system then Lords of the Fallen is worth picking up for free this month.
The next game available on PlayStation 4 is Journey. Many of you may know Journey to be one of those timeless classics that absolutely everybody should play. Journey is an indie game with an impressive set of 2D graphics and a beautifully displayed story. Journey can also be picked up for free on the PlayStation 3 this month.
The next game for the PlayStation 3 is Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands. There was a time where the Prince of Persia action games were a big deal, so if you're looking for some classic 3D platformer action, then The Forgotten Sands is where it's at.

We've finally received details about the final DLC release for Call of Duty Black Ops 3. The final DLC is named Salvation and it will be coming to PlayStation 4 on September 6. The Xbox One release should hit shortly after the PlayStation 4 release.
The Salvation DLC will include four new maps for multiplayer, other new content and a huge finale for the Zombies storyline that started in previous Black Ops games. The new zombies content for the Salvation DLC will reportedly tie up a cliffhanger from Zombies in Black Ops 2 as well.
The four new maps also sound quite interesting. Below we have some excerpts about the maps from Activision.
Citadel - Once home to a powerful medieval army, this ancient castle now sits broken and abandoned. Tight corners force close-quarters engagements, while the moat and drawbridge allows for unique player movement opportunities in this mid-sized map. The last trespassers didn't make it out alive - maybe you'll have a better

The second beta for Titanfall 2 has now gone live for Xbox One and PlayStation 4 and you can still get the chance to play it right now. The main goal for this beta from Respawn Entertainment's perspective is to stress test the servers, so it's very easy to get into the beta on both the Xbox One and the PlayStation 4. You can download the Titanfall 2 multiplayer stress test from both the Xbox Games Store and the PlayStation Store from your consoles.
If you miss the beta this time, don't fret, we'd expect there to be at least another multiplayer stress test before the game gets a final release. Speaking of which, Titanfall 2 is now scheduled for release on October 28 for Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC.
Available gameplay content in the beta is understandably quite limited, but this new beta test did see a small addition of new content added. A number of game fixes and tweaks have been made during the beta test, too, so it's clear that Respawn Entertainment still have quite a

Whilst Battlefield 1 is just around the corner, DICE is still pushing out small updates to Battlefield 4. If you're playing Battlefield 4 still, you may be quite excited to know that a brand new user interface is coming to the game. The new update doesn't include any new content, but it does add a new centralized multiplayer interface for both the Xbox One and PlayStation 4.
The main feature added to the new interface is to allow players to switch between Battlefield games easily. The interface will allow Battlefield 4 players to switch to Battlefield 1 once it has been released, as long as they own Battlefield 1 and have downloaded it to their system. The idea for the interface is quite unique, and it's not something we often see from game franchises that often.
For now, the interface does not add much more functionality to Battlefield 4, although the interface is a lot tidier now and it is certainly easier to navigate, even if you only ever plan to use it for Battlefield

Dark Souls 3 will be getting it is first DLC on October 25. The DLC will be coming to the PlayStation 4 first and has been named Ashes of Ariandel.
As you'd expect from a game as epic as Dark Souls 3, the upcoming DLC isn't going to come without a lot of content to get players excited about. Unfortunately we aren't too sure what the content will be just yet. In fact, the announcement for the DLC was only posted on Twitter briefly before it was removed again.
The announcement did, however, mention that a trailer for the upcoming DLC was planned and we are expecting to see it make ripples across the internet very soon. Past rumors have suggested that the first DLC expansion for Dark Souls 3 will include a major content drop and could feature new maps, weapons, armor sets and additional bosses and enemies.
We also know that the Ashes of Ariandel will be the first of two DLC packs for Dark Souls 3 and the second will be available next year. Both packs are available for

A brand new trailer for an upcoming DLC release for Rise of the Tomb Raider has been uploaded to the internet. The trailer showcases that the new DLC will be named Blood Ties and it will have some juicy new story content for players to check out.
The new DLC will be available as part of the season pass for Rise of the Tomb Raider and both PC and Xbox One players will be able to download it once it has been released.
The Blood Ties DLC for Rise of the Tomb Raider will focus on Lara's childhood home. Lara will take a visit to her home to uncover some mysteries about her past. Along the way, Lara will find out new secrets about the Croft Manor and it'll inevitably end with a zombie invasion with Lara's dream world.
We're sure you weren't expecting to see zombies in Lara Croft, we certainly weren't, but we can't deny that we're quite interested to see how the whole thing turns out. Hopefully, the new Blood Ties story content, along with the 'Lara's Nightmare' zombie invasion

A brand new patch for Rainbow Six Siege has been released for all platforms and it brings a number of balancing tweaks, among other changes. This new patch is labelled version 4.1 and the biggest inclusions in this patch are related to shotguns and the operator Pulse.
Let's start with the shotguns - if you've played Siege you'll know that the shotguns are a little over-powered. Ever since Frost got thrown into the mix, shotguns have been a very dangerous weapon to play against. In version 4.1, shotguns will now be less effective at long range. Damage at short range is also being reduced slightly, and medium range damage is said to be reduced by 25-30%. Valkyrie, Frost, Caveira, Thermite, Pulse and Castle will all be affected by these changes.
The changes to Pulse are also quite interesting and are certainly worth a mention. Pulse now takes longer to swap back to his weapon after using his heartbeat sensor. The difference in time has gone from 0.4 seconds to 1.2 seconds, so
