It feels like every day, Bungie is releasing new details about what players will be doing over the next few months after the release of Destiny 2‘s Shadowkeep expansion. A new ViDoc provided details about Shadowkeep and Year Three this week, and now we know a little more about what to expect from the first live content drop that starts at Shadowkeep’s launch, the Season of the Undying.

We know from Bungie’s updates that in Shadowkeep, players will take on the Hive and deal with Nightmares, a new form of enemy that represent the trauma Guardians have faced on the moon. Whatever the Hive is up to for that first week after Shadowkeep’s launch is going to get a response from the other forces in the solar system, though. The Season of the Undying kicks off on October 5 with the start of the new Vex Offensive activity, in which the time-traveling robots start invading the moon.

So not only will you be facing whatever new threat the Hive poses, but at roughly the same time, the Vex will make a big push that you’ll have deal with, as well. Here’s the description of what’s happening in the Season of the Undying from Bungie’s rundown:

“As Guardians delve into the Black Garden, portals open allowing timeless Vex war machines to strike back with their own counter-offensive on the Moon. They won’t stop until the moon becomes another one of their strongholds. Find a way to end the invasion.”

According to Bungie’s details, you’ll work with Ikora Rey to find the source of the invasion (which seems likely to be the Black Garden from Destiny 1 and its new raid, Garden of Salvation). You’ll participate in Vex Offensive, which is a six-player matchmade activity, and chase down new weapons specific to it. Bungie is continuing to allow players to chase exactly the loot they want, it seems like–the rundown says you’ll pick what specific weapon or armor you’re hoping to earn in Vex Offensive and unlock it by completing a Pursuit related to it.

While some pieces of content are free to all Destiny 2 players, as detailed on Bungie’s content calendar, you’ll need to pay to access Vex Offensive. The good news is, the Season of the Undying is included in the price of Shadowkeep. For future seasons, you’ll need to buy a Season Pass (similar to what’s seen in Fortnite or Apex Legends) in order to access seasonal activities.

Call of Duty Mobile is coming to iPhone and Android very soon. Activision and Tencent announced the free-to-play mobile version of its FPS franchise will release on October 1 on the iOS App Store and Google Play Store. The launch will be worldwide in all countries that support the stores, except mainland China, Vietnam, and Belgium. You can pre-register through the official site.

The announcement came alongside a trailer showing the game in action. CoD Mobile will include lots of the usual multiplayer modes like Team Deathmatch, Search and Destroy, and Free-For-All, along with popular maps like Nuketown, Crash, and Hijacked. You’ll also unlock several familiar faces from the series like Soap MacTavish and Alex Mason.

And while the next big PC and console Call of Duty won’t have a Battle Royale mode, this mobile release will. It will pit 100 players against each other in a map specially designed for the mode. You’ll be able to play as solos, duos, or quads, and use a wide array of land, sea, and air vehicles.

“We are delivering the definitive, first-person action experience on mobile with signature Call of Duty gameplay in the palms of your hands,” said Activision mobile VP Chris Plummer, VP, Mobile at Activision. “We are bringing together some of the best the franchise has to offer, including Modern Warfare maps like Crash and Crossfire, Black Ops maps like Nuketown and Hijacked, and many more, into one epic title. We’ve tested the game extensively in select territories and the feedback we’ve received has helped us refine the experience for October 1.”

Meanwhile, Modern Warfare is also preparing for its own launch in October, and a second beta test will be running soon. Participating can net you a shotgun for use in the game once it launches.

Disco Elysium, a traditional CRPG with the style of a hardboiled detective drama, is coming on October 15. Developer Studio ZAUM announced it will launch on Steam and GOG, alongside a new trailer detailing the flexibility of the systems.

The game, previously titled No Truce With The Furies, puts you in the gum-shoes of a detective in a ’70s-style procedural. You’ll have to interrogate characters, crack murders, maybe take a bribe or two, and solve crimes in an urban fantasy setting. You’ll be able to upgrade your detective skills, use the tools of the trade, and talk with witnesses. The characters will have their own motivations and can be played against each other.

Disco Elysium makes a point of letting you stake out your own detective persona, like the tough and grizzled veteran cop or an anti-social genius. The trailer points out that you can be a hero, a prophet, or a madman. And with so many choices to be made, you can also make plenty of mistakes and have to deal with the consequences.

The story consists of one massive open-ended case to solve, along with lots of side-missions. Your thoughts themselves have an inventory of their own so that you can put them to use to resolve the mysteries. The band British Sea Power provides an original score.

GameSpot highlighted it as an exciting indie prospect last year, and Alessandro Fillari said it “offers up some fun twists to the CRPG genre, which is backed up by some impeccable writing that recalls memorable moments from the classics in hardboiled detective dramas.“
