Take-Two Interactive plans to release eight remasters of previously released games by 2025. The company revealed that fact as part of its recent financial highlights, though no specific information was provided on the games.

Call of Duty Gameplay Leak Reveals First Look at New Game
A new Call of Duty leak is making the rounds. The leak doesn't come the way of official channels, but has been validated by several prominent Call of Duty leakers and insiders. That said, right now, it's not clear what exactly the footage is of. More specifically, it's not clear if it's pulled from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2's multiplayer mode or the rumored DMZ mode or if it's pulled from Call of Duty: Warzone 2. Of course, Call of Duty: Warzone 2 and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 will be very similar in terms of look and feel, so a leak for one is more or less a leak of the other, but they are technically separate products and right now there's no word of which the footage is of.

Every Resident Evil Project in Development
Resident Evil is one of the biggest multi-media franchises out there. Although it started as a video game series, it has quickly grown to encompass movies, TV shows, comics, and even a stage play. It is one of the most renowned franchises out there, even with its low lows. The series has a strange sense of identity across all of these different projects, but Capcom has managed to ensure it stays successful and relevant. In 2017, Capcom gave the series a soft reboot with Resident Evil 7, a game that took the series from third-person to first-person. It reinvented the way the series framed its survival horror elements and created a truly terrifying experience that made fans fall in love with it all over again.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Report Leaks New "Marketplace"
A new report about Call of Duty 2022 -- Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 -- has leaked that the heavily rumored DMZ mode for the game will include some type of new marketplace. Call of Duty has been printing money for years. Not only is each yearly installment the best-selling game every year unless Rockstar Games releases a new Red Dead Redemption or GTA, but Activision and co. also make piles of money on the backend through microtransactions. As you would expect, this two-pronged monetization approach is going nowhere. In fact, if a new report is accurate, it's expanding.
