The Last of Us Part 2 release Feb. 21, 2020

The Last of Us Part 2 finally has a release date. The new trailer showed Ellie with a group of survivors and losing a loved one. This drives Ellie in a quest for revenge against an organized group.

Clickers, humans, and dogs are the enemy in the game. But most importantly, Joel is showcased in the trailer. Many fans speculated whether the character died in between games due to lack of the character’s appearance in trailers.

Borderlands 3 will not Launch with Cross-play

Randy Pitchford, CEO of Gearbox, talked about cross-play would be included in Borderlands 3. He was so adamant in the feature that he said it was a “prerequisite.” However, just because the CEO said something doesn’t mean things will happen.

As reported by Gamespot, a 2K representative stated that “Cross-play is something we’re looking at closely, but we don’t have anything to confirm or announce at this time.” This news comes out after the Microsoft Store pre-order page stated that cross-play was a feature. It has now been removed.

Cross-play between consoles and PC is a new luxury in the online game world. The most popular multiplayer games such as Minecraft, Fortnite, and Rocket League have the feature.Hopefully it can be included in Borderlands 3 in the near future as I would love to play with people of all consoles.
