Call of Duty's battle against cheaters continues, and ahead of Season 3's launch for Black Ops 6 and Warzone, Activision has released a blog detailing the new efforts to combat those unsavory players. Here are all the big changes announced for Call of Duty's Ricochet anti-cheat and the fight against hackers.
Activision confirmed the previous report that several Call of Duty cheat providers have been shut down. The publisher says that "over 20 cheat makers and dozens of cheat resellers" have been terminated since the launch of Black Ops 6, and that these shutdown efforts will continue.

Call of Duty's Ricochet anti-cheat team is cracking down on those who have earned gun camos through ill-gotten means in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and Call of Duty: Warzone, issuing temporary bans and even removing dishonorably obtained skins mid-match.
In a post from the official Call of Duty Updates X account, the Ricochet anti-cheat team made clear that using exploits or "unauthorized methods," such as external tools, violates the game's security and enforcement policy and will result in temporary bans.
RICOCHET anti-cheat's latest update has server side detection of players who use unlock tools to get camos.

Originally released for Nintendo DS in 2008, Nintendo is reviving Story of Season: Grand Bazaar for Switch and PC. The remake was revealed during the latest Nintendo Direct, and it's shaping up to be another relaxing outing for the farming/life simulator, thanks to reworked graphics, a new mode of transportation in the wind glider, and a cast of new characters and events. Preorders are now open ahead of its August 27 release.
Story of Seasons: Grand Bazaar Preorder BonusThere are currently no preorder bonuses for Story of Seasons: Granda Bazaar. If anything changes (or any retailer-exclusives pop up), we'll be sure to update this section.
Story of Seasons: Grand Bazaar Standard Edition $50 | Releases August 27The standard edition of Story of Seasons: Grand Bazaar is reasonably priced at $50. Whether you're a fan of the original or diving in for the first time, this is shaping up to be the best way to experience the farming action in 2025. Marvelous has already revealed a bunch of quality of life improvements coming to the Switch version, including improved graphics, an expanded story, a new glider for easier traversal, and full character voice work (which is a first for the series). Physical preorders of the Nintendo Switch version are available at Amazon and Best Buy. Digital preorders are also live on the Switch eShop and Steam.

Netflix Gaming Boss Wants To Lower "Friction" And Bypass "Expensive" Consoles
Netflix Gaming boss Alain Tascan has outlined his vision for the future of gaming at Netflix, and his aim is to help reduce "friction" similar to how the Wii helped opened things up for a wider audience.
Speaking to The Game Business, Tascan said when he worked at EA, one of his ambitions was around "lowering friction and eliminating it." He was a big fan of the Wii because it was a lower-priced console that appealed to a wide audience, and Tascan wants to try to achieve something similar at Netflix.
Tascan said some of the frictions that exists in gaming today is the need to have enough controllers in a home and having an "expensive" piece of dedicated gaming hardware. Waiting for game downloads is another friction, Tascan said. Netflix Gaming aims to offer solutions in these areas by eliminating the need for dedicated gaming consoles and controllers, in part because Netflix aims to offer games over the cloud. In fact, cloud-streaming games is already available on Netflix.com under the Games tab.

Warner Bros. has released a new clip for A Minecraft Movie, and it doesn't feature any building, crafting, or pickaxes. However, there does seem to be love in the air for an unorthodox pairing. White Lotus actress Jennifer Coolidge's character is on a date at a fancy restaurant with a CGI Villager.
The short new trailer for A Minecraft Movie--titled Be Mine--was shared on YouTube (seen below). The dinner scene is clearly over the top and played for laughs, focusing on Coolidge's character to start. "I recently got divorced from my husband, Clemente, and the main reason is, you know, he didn't have any personality," she says. "Not like you." The camera then shows off the Villager, who moves his unibrow up and down in excitement.
That's not the last joke for the 30-second video, either. A waitress appears near the end, asking if the couple is "finished." This leads to Coolidge's character replying: "I think he's Swedish." This works on another level, too, since Minecraft was created by Swedish developer Markus "Notch" Persson and the studio Mojang is based in Sweden.

More than a decade has passed since Silent Hill's last mainline entry--not counting Bloober Team's superb remake of Silent Hill 2 in 2024--but at long last, a new chapter in the franchise is on the way in the form of Silent F. A brand-new mainline entry from a studio in Japan comprised of several survival-horror veterans, Silent Hill F will be the first game in the series to skip the nightmarish streets of Maine in the USA for a terrifying trip to Japan. Here's everything we know about Silent Hill F so far.
Table of Contents [hide]When will Silent Hill F be released?
There's no solid release date yet for Silent Hill F, but the game is currently available to preorder in both digital and physical formats. Typically, that suggests a release date is near, and we wouldn't be surprised if the game arrives later in 2025.

The new Resident Evil movie from Barbarian director Zach Cregger could feature Oscar-winner Mikey Madison (Anora). According to a new report, there are "whispers" in Hollywood that Madison--who just won the Oscar for Best Actress for Anora--could star in the video game adaptation.
Madison achieved breakout success with Anora, earning her an Oscar. Some of her previous credits included the TV series Better Things and 2022's Scream. She also appeared in Quentin Tarantino's Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood as a member of Charles Manson's gang.
World of Reel's report said Madison has been offered a role in Resident Evil, but that doesn't mean she would necessarily accept it. Deals don't materialize all the time, for any number of reasons, if she is indeed in the mix at all.

Dragon Quest I + II HD-2D Remake Standard Edition
Preorder at Amazon Preorder at Best BuyDragon Quest I + II HD-2D Remake launches on Nintendo Switch, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC later this year. The new game features ground-up remakes of the first two Dragon Quest games in one package; and just like 2024's Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake, they will feature new "HD-2D" visuals, re-recorded soundtracks, updated gameplay, and even new content to flesh out both adventures. While Square Enix hasn't confirmed the release date (or even the final box art), preorders for Dragon Quest I + II HD-2D Remake are already live at Amazon.
Dragon Quest I + II HD-2D Remake Preorder BonusNo preorder bonuses have been announced for Dragon Quest I + II HD-2D Remake, but we'll update this section if that changes.
Dragon Quest I + II HD-2D Remake Standard Edition $60 | Release TBA 2025For now, the Dragon Quest I + II HD-2D Remake standard edition is the only version of the game available to preorder. You can preorder physical copies for Nintendo Switch, PS5, and Xbox Series X at Amazon and Best Buy. Digital preorders are also available on console and Steam.
Preorder at Amazon Preorder at Best BuyIf you're wondering why Dragon Quest I + II HD-2D Remake is launching a year after the Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake, it's because Dragon Quest III is a prequel story that takes place before the first two games, and all three make up what is known as the "Erdrick Trilogy." These are some of the few Dragon Quest games with overt connections in their storylines, but while III is a prequel, each game takes place hundreds of years apart, so you don't necessarily have to play III first (the original version released after the first two, after all). Nevertheless, if you're itching to play some classic Dragon Quest and want to experience the trilogy's in-game saga chronologically, Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake is worth picking up--and as luck would have it, you can pick up physical copies on PS5, Nintendo Switch, and Xbox Series X for just $50 (was $60).
