A brand new gameplay trailer has been released by Bandai Namco, it has revealed that Bleach characters will be included within the new upcoming Jump Force title.

For those that don't know what Jump Force is, the title was originally revealed back at E3 2018 through an announcement trailer that showcased an epic crossover between Dragon Balls Goku/Frieza, One Pieces' Monkey D. Luffy and Naruto. Jump Force will be featuring the most popular anime/manga characters as playable fighters and now that a new trailer has been released we can add Bleach characters: Ichigo, Rukia and Aizen to that list as well.

Bandai Namco has a goal of adding everyones favorite Japanese characters to one game, allowing for players to battle it out across numerous famous locations such as New York City in customizable teams of three. Jump Force is being developed in the Unreal Engine 4 and is planned for release sometime in 2019. For further information regarding the title visit the official Jump Force website here.

In celebration of the 20th year of Digimon, Bandai Namco has decided that they are going to bring players a brand new game. Introducing Digimon Survive, an adventure/tactical RPG that will be arriving sometime in 2019.

Players will begin their journey as Takuma, who is young boy that happens to become stranded and lost after exploring into the wild forests. Takuma is accompanied by Agumon, a reptile Digimon that has many similarities to that of a dinosaur. Both Takuma and Agumon are required to fight for their lives as they attempt to break free from the alternate dimension.

Bandai Namco has deemed Digimon Survive a "survival simulation", players will have to fight their way back home but will be able to craft their own story along the way. Digimon Survive is planned for release on PS4, Xbox One and PC sometime throughout 2019.

As our first-ever subscription service with full access to newly-released EA games, we're offering players more freedom to play the games they want, anytime they want".

Activision unleashes the Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 multiplayer beta later this week, with a new launch trailer showing off the multiplayer side of things, as well as our first look at Call of Duty's first entry into battle royale: Blackout.

The battle royale mode is only teased for roughly 15 seconds in the trailer, but from this quick snippet we have a few things to take away. One of which is that there seems to be two groups of players with four people on each team, which should mean we could expect Black Ops 4 players to be able to play Blackout either on their own, or in a squad with friends.

Blackout characters seem to have a lot of customization to play with, with a player doting a leather duster, and shirts/pants and other prints that are very different to the usual military affair. Activision has to be oh-so-2018 with its political push by teasing a female character model that I'm sure Battlefield fans will be all over.

NVIDIA's various AIB partners will have their GeForce GTX 11 series graphics cards in consumers hands in the August/September timeframe, with Inno3D ahead of the pack when it comes to subtle viral marketing of their new cooling technology.

Inno3D held an event in China recently where they teased their next-gen iChill AIO liquid cooling technology which should be used on their next-gen GTX 11 series graphics cards. Inno3D's next-gen iChill AIO liquid cooler will be used on the company's flagship overclocked GTX 1180 and GTX 1170 graphics cards (or whatever they end up as, GTX 1185 or GTX 1195).

The new coolers will have the iChill logo on both the front and the back of the card, illuminated by beautiful LEDs. It will be a dual-slot cooler with dual 8-pin PCIe power connectors while the watercooling tubes feeding out the back above the power connectors.

Intel is oh-so-close to the release of its new 9th-gen CPUs with the flagship Core i9-9900K to arrive as a huge new, and a first for the company 8C/16T consumer CPU at up to 5GHz... but just how fast will this beast be?

According to a new leaked benchmark in 3DMark, we can indeed expect an 8C/16T processor at 5GHz, with 16MB of L3 cache, 95W TDP, and built-in Intel UHD 620 graphics. As for the raw horsepower, we should expect 3DMark Time Spy scores of 10719 for the CPU, and 9862 overall.

All of this was run on an ASUS ROG Strix Z370-F motherboard, 16GB of G.SKILL DDR4-2666 RAM, a 500GB Samsung 960 EVO SSD, and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti graphics card. If we compare the score against AMD's new Ryzen 7 2700X (8C/16T as well) the 9900K beats its score of 9387, and even shatters Intel's current-gen Core i7-8700K (6C/12T) with 8935.

NVIDIA has just announced its new GeForce Gaming Celebration event for August 20, which will take place at Gamescom 2018 in Cologne, Germany.

NVIDIA will be showcasing its latest graphics cards and 4K 144Hz HDR G-Sync gaming monitors and 65-inch 4K 120Hz HDR BFGD TVs, alongside a slew of games and other gaming-related goodies during Gamescom 2018. Until now, rumors suggested July 30 as the release date for the GeForce GTX 1180 graphics card with an August/September release window that AIB partners told me during Computex 2018... and now that seems the case.

The company has officially announced teh event on their website, saying that it will be "loaded with new, exclusive, hands-on demos of the hottest upcoming games, stage presentations from the world's biggest game developers, and some spectacular surprises". I wonder what those "spectacular surprises" could be, eh?

Capcom's latest earnings show substantial growth and momentum thanks to big hits like Monster Hunter World.

Today Japanese games-maker Capcom released its first quarter earnings for the Fiscal Year 2019 timeline, which sees a massive jump in company profits that could continue throughout the year.

For the three-month period ended June 30, Capcom pulled in a whopping ¥ 5.106 billion yen in operating profit, representing an incredible 550% year-over-year spike, catalyzed by its digital contents business segment. Ordinary income sits at ¥ 5.492 billion yen, or a big 610% increase over last year's Q1, whereas net income attributable to owners of parent (net profit) leaps by a staggering 648% to ¥ 3.903 billion yen.

EA will no longer give out free PC games on Origin, and we're betting it has a lot to do with the company's new Origin Access Premier subscription.

Like Xbox LIVE's monthly Games With Gold or Sony's free PS Plus games, Origin's On The House promotion was a great tool to keep PC gamers coming back to the storefront and staying engaged. One of the best ways to keep users signing into your platform is to give something for free. But now EA says it has "retired" the initiative after years of gifting great games like Dead Space and Mass Effect 2.

Reddit users first noticed Origin's On The House URL now linked to the general Origin Access page, prompting some speculation. After all, the service doled out a few repeats across the last few months or so. An EA rep confirmed the bad news:

After years of hard development work, Insomniac has wrapped its massive new Spider-Man title.

Sony's substantial new PS4 exclusive Spider-Man game has gone gold, meaning its now officially finished and ready to be shipped for its September release date. The game has garnered massive hype for its rather enticing web-slinging and beat-em-up combat action, bringing to mind classic PS2-era games melded with updated graphics, advanced physics systems, and a wider sandbox.

Spider-Man is expected to drive PS4 console sales ahead of Sony's big holiday push and engage the existing playerbase with more singleplayer content, and should be a contender among 2018's biggest games. NPD Group analyst Mat Piscatella predicts Insomniac's Spider-Man will sit in this year's top ten sellers, albeit at the #10 slot.

Japanese publisher Bandai Namco wants to move towards original IP creation to help bolster earnings.

Any major games-maker-and-publisher combo in the games industry typically has a line of strong, wholly-owned IPs to continually generate sales and revenue. Publishers like Square Enix with its Final Fantasy series or Activision-Blizzard with Call of Duty and Overwatch IPs rake in hundreds of millions (or even billions) a year from their respective titles, all without having to shell out for licenses. Bandai Namco, who typically makes a portion of its game sales from licensed franchises like Dragon Ball Z, wants to embrace this business model.

In a recent interview with GamesIndustry.Biz, Bandai Namco exec Herve Hoerdt says the company wants about half of its games to be new IPs--something Bandai Namco has acted upon with its new Code Vein game.

Disenchantment, Matt Groening's newest T.V show is coming to Netflix on August 17th and ahead of it's launch, Netflix has released four videos introducing us to the three main characters and the Kingdom of Dreamland.

We are only two weeks away from the launch of Matt Groening's newest animated T.V show Disenchanted, and for fans to get to know the characters/setting before the official launch Netflix have released some short videos. The first video introduces us to the main protagonist Bean (Abbi Jacobson), Bean is a princess that wants to figure herself out before getting married, she seems set on choosing her own destiny. The second video we have Elfo (Nat Faxon), Elfo wants to experience more of the world so he ventures away from his homeland to take on one-adventure at a time. Finally, we have Luci (Eric Andre), Luci is Bean's very own personal demon, he is thrown into the trio mix as the character who will bring up all of the terrible ideas.

The fourth video released by Netflix showcases to fans the setting of the animated series, the Kingdom of Dreamland. Dreamland is home to the noble king, a 'friendly' fairy, a decrepit peddler, an educated orge and an executioner who has an entire book of golf jokes. According to an interview conducted by IGN with executive producer of the show, Josh Weinstein and voice-actor Eric Andre, fans can assume that the comedic value of Disenchantment will be a combination of The Simpsons and Futurama with a touch of Gravity Falls.

CD Projekt Red's Cyberpunk 2077 has been all of the talk since E3 2018, now it has been revealed within the lastest edition of the Official Xbox Magazine (167) that the franchise is more politically charged than you might of thought.

Within the latest Official Xbox Magazine, CD Projekt Red Quest Designer, Patrick Mills took everyone through what the studio was thinking when they are designing the unstable society of Cyberpunk 2077. According to Mills, the developers have created a world where not only violence and mature themes are abundant, but also intellectual challenges are present. Mills says that "Of course, to us, mature doesn't mean just sex and violence. We will try to engage you on multiple levels, not just the visceral, but also the intellectual. Cyberpunk is an inherently political genre and it's an inherently political franchise."

Mills continues and says that Cyberpunk 2077's world is ruled by a very small amount of ultra-rich individuals, they rule from an absolute corporate power structure that forces the less fortunate to be caught up in an endless cycle of poverty and violence against one-another. Mills also discusses the decision of making Cyberpunk 2077 a first-person game instead of third-person, he says that the decision came from the lackluster immersion third-person titles have, an example he gave was "Go play a third-person game, go play The Witcher, and look up. Just try to look straight up. You'll find that the immersion never really works, it never feels like you are looking up. It feels like you're moving a camera around."

For Honor will soon be receiving it's seventh season, it has been titled Storm and Fury and will be released onto all of For Honors platforms at once. The release is planned for August 2nd.

Storm and Fury will be bringing players a brand new map called 'Secluded Keep', according to the description, the map was previously owned by a high lord and has now become a highly disputed abandoned outpost. Players will be able to enjoy the new map in the following game modes: Elimination, Tribute, Skirmish, Brawl and Duel. After feedback from players, Ubisoft Montreal have decided that they will be bringing changes to two heroes within this new season, Valkyrie and Warden "will receive major gameplay updates to improve the versatility and efficiency of their respective move sets."

Storm of Fury will also be introducing a ranking system update, there will now be two new divisions - Master and Grand Master. Here is the description of the new divisions: "Introducing two new divisions in the For Honor Ranking System - Master and Grand Master, which are reserved for the fiercest warriors. Players will also be able to monitor their progress with the new Ranking Leaderboard. To focus the community on the new leaderboard and Master divisions, players will be able to join Ranked Duel matches outside Tournaments. Tournaments will instead be triggered on rotation, starting on a week-end basis."

The writers for Amazon's next massive T.V project 'The Lord of the Rings' have been revealed, announcing Star Trek 4 writers Patrick McKay and JD Payne, as they have been appointed to tackle the gargantuan project

It has been reported that both JD Payne and Patrick McKay have no previous writing experience, but to calm your shock neither did Game of Thrones writers D.B. Weiss and David Benioff. Amazon must have a lot of faith in both of these writers, as this The Lord of The Rings TV show is going to be the most expensive series ever made, coming in at a massive $1 billion. The writers have come forward and given statements on how excited they are to work on Amazon's project, here is what they had to say: "We feel like Frodo, setting out from the Shire, with a great responsibility in our care--it is the beginning of the adventure of a lifetime."

For those that aren't caught up with the news surrounding The Lord of The Rings T.V show, the series is set before the trilogy of movies directed by Peter Jackson. Amazon will be bringing to life the world before Frodo and the ring, examples of the numerous avenues that Amazon could take are: explaining the Numenoreans and the Duneadine with the founding of Gondor/Arnor, the forging of the great rings of power, or they could even take it way back to first age with Morgoth from Tolkein's The Silmarillion. It should also be noted that Amazon has partnered with the Tolkien Estate, HarperCollins and New Line Cinema. Having the Tolkien Estate involved within the production of the show should provide a solid back-bone for the rich lore found everywhere throughout Tolkeins Legendarium.

Netflix has taken to their social media outlets to release a brand new blood-stained trailer for the highly anticipated Castlevania series. The trailer teases the second season to be released this October.

The Castlevania series that was released onto Netflix last year in July is based off the very popular and also very old video game series Castlevania. The first title was released back in 1986 on the Nintendo Entertainment System and since then the there has been numerous game releases, so many that Castlevania is now one of Konami's staple franchises.

The audience response from the first season of the T.V show was quite positive, the animations were slick, the voice acting accurate and the characters are as brutal as you would hope. The only problems that could be found with the first season of the show is the length, season one only came in with 4 episodes which caused fans to feel prematurely cut off from the story. Castlevania season 2 will not have this problem as it has been reported that the second season will be 8 episodes in length, this decision should hopefully subside everyones pain from the first season.

Intel is massively behind in the node fight against AMD with its 10nm node receiving yet another release window for the mainstream market with the company saying 10nm will arrive to mainstream parts in the holiday season of 2019.

The current 14nm manufacturing process from Intel has received multiple revisions and tweaks and has been working perfectly for the company, with Intel unable to get 10nm off the ground like they promised in 2015. Intel originally promised 10nm mass production for 2015, revising it a few times over the years and now again until 2H 2019 at the earliest.

But don't fret - Intel has 10nm on the market in the form of a single Core i3 model that is a low-end chip. There's no integrated GPU with rumors that Intel had to slice off the graphics on the processor just to get it made on 10nm. Lenovo is the only customer of this 10nm processor, with the Core i3-8121U shipping in small quantities to the company.

EA has some major AAA game franchises on the market that could benefit from some major attention to cross-platform use, and now that Fortnite has made so much money and been a cultutal influence, the company is stepping up and taking notice.

During EA's recent earnings report, EA CEO Andrew Wilson talked about the future of the company and their path to cross-platform for their franchises. Wilson said: "In terms of cross-platform play, again we are seeing the same thing. And remember, we have a vision on a 3- to 5-year time horizon where a great portion of game experience will exist in the cloud and be pushed to every device you own. And the game experience you have won't be measured by local CPU or GPU but will be measured by screen size and session time you have, and will drive tremendous liquidity in the market - in a player base. And I think we are to deliver very different types of experiences as a result of a cloud gaming offering".

He added: "In the near term, you should also appreciate that we're looking at key franchises in terms of how we could deliver cross-platform players in a similar way that Fortnite has, especially some of the titles have a broad and diverse player base. Households typically have one console, so the ability to bring PC to console and console to mobile into that play experience can bring families together, can bring friends together. And we think it's an important part of our future development profile both in terms of mobile games that we have today moving up per se to console and PC, and console and PC games being playable in mobile. And so, I expect more from us on that front in the future".

Tesla would have to be one of the most interesting and quirky companies in the world, but I think this new stunt takes it to the next level.

The company unveiled its new Limited Edition Tesla Surfboard over the weekend, which the company says was designed by the Tesla Design Studio in collaboration with Lost Surfboards and Matt "Mayhem" Biolos, the surfboard shaper for World Surf League Championship athletes.

Tesla uses a "mix of the same high-quality matte and gloss finishes used on all our cars. The deck is reinforced with light-weight "Black Dart" carbon fiber, inspired by the interiors in our cars, and featuring tonal logos in subtle contrast gloss". The company notes that the Limited Edition Surfboard will fit comfortably inside of their Model S, X, and 3 vehicles either inside, or outside of the car.
