The battle royale market is expected to rise astronomically throughout 2018 as major publishers like EA and Activision jump into the craze.

Back when PUBG saw its huge meteoric shift in sales I predicted that the game would eventually be knocked off its earnings mantle by billion-dollar publishers once they entered the battle royale arena. Interestingly enough, Epic Games has taken the throne with its free-to-play BR game Fortnite, which has earned a massive $1 billion in revenues across all platforms in less than a year. Now another major shift is on the horizon as the Call of Duty and Battlefield franchises ready their respective premium salvos.

According to analyst firm SuperData, revenues gleaned from battle royale games will spike by over six-fold this year to a tremendous $12.6 billion. The firm predicts both Battlefield V's and Call of Duty: Black Ops 4's new battle royale modes will cause segment earnings to jump by over 600% year-over-year.

Fortnite has made over $1 billion from in-game purchases in less than a year, according to the latest analyst reports.

Since October 2017, Epic Games' towering battle royale sensation Fortnite has pulled in over $1 billion in revenues across all platforms, analyst firm SuperData reports in its latest brief. On a month-to-month earnings basis the game has seen consistent growth: in April Fortnite earned $296 million, whereas May's spending increased by almost 8% to $318 million.

Fortnite's free-to-play model, which monetizes cosmetic items like skins, drives the game's strong revenue growth. Fortnite's staggering success owes itself to many factors including its accessibility across mobile, consoles and PC, alongside successful engagement monetization strategies including skins, battle passes, and seasonal events to maintain MAUs and DAUs.

At the start of January this year, we saw the gruesome trailer for Call of Duty: WWII zombies The Darkest Shore. Treyarch are now teasing the upcoming Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 zombies ahead of the reveal at this years Comic-Con.

The tease comes from the Call of Duty Twitter page and features just two red glowing eyes on what seems to be an enemies skull. Most interesting about this teaser though is that we haven't seen these coloured eyes before, as the Call of Duty Twitter responded to some fans comments saying "Prepare for a different breed." This could be a strong form of evidence to suggest that players will be getting a completely different zombie, perhaps a new stronger mob that will come in high quantities, or just a single high quality boss that will need a lot more fire power to take down.

Treyarch have released this teaser ahead of the Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 Zombies Comic-Con panel, which has been planned for Thursday, July 19, 2018, at 1:00 p.m. PDT (4:00 p.m. EDT). During this panel, everything will be revealed about the upcoming mode, until then we will just have to deal with the teasers that Treyarch keep rolling out. Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 is scheduled for release on October 12th and will be available on PC, Xbox One and PC.

It appears that the Steam Store has revealed the release date for Focus Home Interactive and Cyanide Studios' Call of Cthulhu title. H.P. Lovecraft may actually turn in his grave when the game releases this October.

Focus Home Interactive, the publisher for Call of Cthulhu has not officially stated anything regarding a release date, but a date has appeared on the Steam Store's listing for the game. Steam usually doesn't publish release dates for games unless the date has been finalized, so we should expect an official announcement from either the publisher or developer (Cyanide Studios) in the coming weeks.

If the Steam date is correct, this will mean the Lovecraftian horror themed title will be releasing on Halloween, October 31st. Quite a convenient time to release Call of Cthulhu, perhaps the developers are hoping for that little bit more extra immersion Halloween will give, as players jump onto their harrowing title for the first time.

AMD is set to unleash its 32C/64T processor into the HEDT market with the Ryzen Threadripper 2990X, but since it's not on the market right now what do we do? Look at some simulated CPU tests that tease what AMD has in store.

Legendary overclocker der8auer has used AMD's current EPYC 7601 processor overclocked to 3.4GHz, which is the purported base CPU clock of AMD's flagship Ryzen Threadripper 2990X, alongside 4 x DIMMs to simulate AMD's upcoming monster CPU.

The simulated test used a normal EPYC server system but with some modifications that include an upgrade PSU, with der8auer using a Seasonic platinum PSU and upgraded water chiller cooler.

Team Cherry has taken to their developers blog to unload a bunch of news surrounding their title Hollow Knight, and its upcoming 'Gods & Glory' DLC.

The developers have revealed the official release date for the upcoming DLC.'Gods & Glory' has been deemed the "largest pack yet" and will be arriving to players on the 23rd of August. The new content pack will be filled with a bunch of new bosses, more music, new NPC's and brand new quests. The DLC pack will be released at the same time on both the Nintendo Switch and PC versions of the game.

Team Cherry also unveiled their second music album by Christopher Larkin, the composer of the Hollow Knight soundtrack. Larkin has been adding new music to Hollow Knight through the released DLC packs.

The album will be released on Steam for $4.99 and all other major digital platforms. It will also be coming in vinyl form, which you can check out here.

It has been almost an entire decade since the last Zombieland movie, and since then fans have been asking for a sequel to the classic zombie slaying horror-comedy. That time has come and the gang are getting back together as well, Zombieland 2 has been officially confirmed.

Ruben Fleischer was the director for the first Zombieland movie and continued his career with the Deadpool franchise, and also the upcoming Venom movie. Even though Zombieland only had a $25 million dollar budget, the movie was actually a surprise success, making a box office total of $102.4 million. Since then, fans have wanted a sequel to the movie and it is finally happening, Sony Pictures are reuniting the cast of Emma Stone, Woody Harrelson, Jesse Eisenberg and Abigail Breslin for Zombieland 2.

Zombieland 2 will be directed by Fleischer and written by Paul Wernick and Rhett Reese, who also wrote the first movie. Columbia Pictures president, Sanford Panitch commented on the returning sequel, saying "This is one of those projects that fans have wanted to see happen for a long time - and no one wanted to see it happen more than Emma, Woody, Jesse and Abigail. These are some of the most in-demand actors, and I think they are making this movie because they love these characters. We are thrilled Ruben was willing to come back to direct the sequel, as his work on Venom has been truly amazing."
