Image used with permission by copyright holderJourney, The Unfinished Swan, and Until Dawn all appear to be confirmed for eventual release on PlayStation 4, as a hastily removed list of Sony’s playable Gamescom titles seems to reveal. The August 2014 consumer show in Germany is two weeks away, and Sony evidently decided that the list’s posting came a little too early. Fortunately, a thread on NeoGAF saved the list for all to see, and it includes the above three titles, none of which had been announced for PS4 previously. While Journey and The Unfinished Swan are welcome additions to an already impressive list of titles that will be playable at Gamescom, the one that stands out is Until Dawn, a game which has staved off cancellation rumors, and of which we have seen very little since its announcement in 2012. The game, an homage to the Teen Horror/Slasher genre of films (ala Scream, Friday the 13th), features teens in the woods being stalked by something evil. The game is built to make your decisions matter, determining who among your friends lives or dies. There have been stirrings in 2014 that the project was not abandoned, and is still very much in development. In March, Polygon received confirmation from Shuhei Yoshida, head of Sony World Wide Studios, that Until Dawn is still coming. There have also been rumors the game will be developed for Sony’s virtual reality headset, Project Morpheus. To that, Yoshida said “that would be very interesting, because it’s a horror game… in terms of genre, it’s a really good fit.” Not any kind of confirmation, but not a denial either. And earlier in July 2014, Sony renewed the trademark on Until Dawn, giving further indication the game is not cancelled. We previewed an early version of the game in 2012, when it was still a PlayStation 3 title. You can also check out the original announcement trailer below.

The fastest ways to gain XP in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6
Ever since Modern Warfare, Call of Duty fans have been obsessed with finding every tip and trick they can to level up faster. Now that Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 has arrived with a refreshed Prestige system, the drive to grind levels is again at an all-time high. While everything you do does earn you XP, they are not all created equal. Just like picking your Wildcards or Perks, earning XP as fast as possible takes a bit of thought and planning. If there's a piece of equipment you have your eye on at a high level, or just want to grind through some Prestige ranks as fast as possible, here are the fastest ways to grind XP in Black Ops 6.
Do your dailies
We'll get the most obvious tip out of the way first. Daily challenges are back and work just as they always have. Every 24 hours you will be given a handful of small optional tasks to complete for a heap of bonus XP. These can be things like getting Scorestreak kills, getting Point Blank Kills, and getting kills with a specific weapon type. Most daily challenges are worth 2,500 XP, which is already a nice bonus, but there is also a fourth one that can be worth between 3,000 and 5,000 additional XP. Each day you log on, you should prioritize your daily challenges.

Halo 2 multiplayer maps are making a return for 20th anniversary
For the 20th anniversary of Halo 2, Xbox is releasing many of the game's multiplayer maps in Halo Infinite on November 5.
Halo Studios (the new name for 343 Industries) announced Monday that the seven maps will be featured in a playlist called Delta Arena. The maps -- Ascension, Boulevard, Canopy, Conjurer, Inquisitor, Serenity, and Beaver Canyon -- have been recreated in Forge by community members, so they feature some nice visual upgrades, along with new names. For example, Beaver Canyon will be listed in the playlist as Beaver Creek. The developers have also tweaked the gameplay so it feels more like Halo 2, with higher jumps and friendly player collision, and added a new starting weapon: the MA5K Avenger.
