Studio MDHR has announced another delay for Cuphead's long-in-the-works Delicious Last Course DLC, this time into 2021, citing challenges "amid the global pandemic".

Watch Dogs: Legion will no longer be getting its multiplayer modes next week as originally planned, with Ubisoft announcing it's delaying all online features into next year while it concentrates its efforts on addressing the game's various technical issues.

Paul W.S. Anderson's Monster Hunter movie is, somewhat unbelievably, out next week, and to celebrate its whatever-the-opposite-of highly-anticipated-is arrival, Capcom is shoving its presence into Monster Hunter World: Iceborne, with a special crossover event.

Marvel's Avengers is yet to earn back the money spent on its development, publisher Square Enix has conceded, after it published financial results showing a 7bn yen (£50.1m) loss for the quarter.

Worms Rumble, Just Cause 4, and Rocket Arena are coming to PlayStation Plus subscribers on 1st December, Sony has announced.

Rainbow Six Siege's free next-gen update comes out on 1st December, Ubisoft has announced.

Sony has said PlayStation 5 is "our biggest console launch ever" - but it failed to announce a sales figure.

EA has claimed the ongoing row over footballer image rights is an attempt to draw FIFA 21 into a dispute between footballers, their agents and the players' union - and has nothing to do with the game itself.

Square Enix is currently using a work-from-home system due to the coronavirus pandemic, but this will now be offered as an option on a more long-term basis, as the company has committed to a permanent work-from-home programme.

Remember the Mortal Kombat movie? The original one, from 1995? It's a guilty pleasure of mine. I loved the silly fights and silly dialogue and ropey sets, and I loved Christopher Lambert's silly performance as Raiden, the famous Thunder God.

Fallout 76's much-anticipated Steel Dawn update, which introduces the Brotherhood of Steel faction to Appalachia, was originally scheduled to launch on 1st December - but those who logged in yesterday may have found themselves checking the date. That's because the whole update has now been released early, and it's all due to an error which caused Xbox players to download the update a week ahead of schedule.

This week it seemed appropriate to look back at some of our favourite launch titles ever. And today we have a classic.

I'm a night fisherman bobbing up and down on the open sea. Suddenly, a larger boat appears from the darkness alongside me. The younger man on board hails me. I can see the butt of a shotgun protruding from his back. "Haven't seen any immigrants out here, have you?" he asks me (words to that effect). "Only, we've had reports..."

The Count of Monte Cristo is probably the greatest revenge story ever written.

December's just around the corner, meaning we're thankfully entering the final stretch of 2020 (surprise alien invasion or Elder God awakening notwithstanding); it also means there's one last wheeze of effort from Xbox Games With Gold before 2021, which closes out the year with developer Double Fine's Stacking, Saints Row: Gat Out of Hell, and more.

Hot on the tail of last week's first look at Cyberpunk 2077 running on consoles, courtesy of Xbox One X and Xbox Series X, developer CD Projekt has released a second helping of console gameplay, this time focusing on PS4 Pro and PlayStation 5 via backward compatibility.

Developer Asobo's Flight Simulator is, as even the swiftest glance in its direction will confirm, a staggeringly beautiful game, but it's not always the best at capturing the finer details; that's where its semi-regular World Updates come in, and its latest, available now, gives the vast sprawl of the United States a much-need upgrade.

If you've ever eyed up Red Dead Redemption 2 but walked away on the basis that there's just too much darned single-player game in there for your tastes, Rockstar has good news; it's giving the game's multiplayer component, Red Dead Online, a standalone release next Tuesday, 1st December, on PC, PlayStation, and Xbox.

World of Warcraft's eighth - eighth - expansion, Shadowlands, is out today! To celebrate, we've joined with Blizzard to offer two lucky winners a grand prize that Blizzard is calling a 'WOW streamer starter kit': a WOW-branded Blue Yeti microphone, a Secret Labs Titan gaming chair in either Horde or Alliance flavour, and of course Shadowlands itself in the sold-out-everywhere physical Collector's Edition.

This is impressive stuff. Call of Duty Black Ops: Cold War manages the cross-gen transition gracefully, delivering excellent performance whether you're gaming on PS5 or Xbox Series consoles. The premium machines also benefit from two key features: 120Hz and ray traced shadows, both of which are transformative to the experience. Microsoft's pint-sized new console - the Series S - is also impressive enough, but appears to lack the signature next-gen features its more expensive counterparts deliver.

Neither Microsoft or Sony were happy with how next-gen pre-orders went this year, Xbox boss Phil Spencer has said.

Football superstar Zlatan Ibrahimović has claimed EA is using his name and face in FIFA 21 without his permission, and declared it's "time to investigate".

Ever on-brand, it seems that professional footballers' agents, go-to villains of the sporting world, are at it again.

UPDATE 3.30pm UK: Amidst a flurry of activity unveiling Fortnite's new monthly subscription offer, Epic Games appears to have inadvertently revealed a major Star Wars crossover character set for the game next month.

EA Sports has outlined all the new features for FIFA 21 on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X and S.

FIFA 21 on PC will not get the next-gen features coming to the game on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X and S in order to keep the game's minimum specs down, EA has said.

FIFA 21 on PlayStation 5 makes use of the DualSense controller's adaptive triggers to simulate player fatigue.

Mojang has announced a new season pass for Minecraft Dungeons which will contain four additional DLC packs on top of the two already launched.

Given the enormous commercial success of GTA 5, it feels almost inevitable we're going to see a sequel at some point, but that hasn't stopped fans from trying to read tea leaves to figure out exactly when GTA 6 is going to release. Once again, fans think they've found a reference to GTA 6 - and this time it's centred on a dirt road in the middle of Virginia. That's certainly a little off the beaten track.

It's always tough to secure a new console at launch - but it has seemed particularly difficult this time around for the in-demand PlayStation 5, which remains out of stock in the UK almost everywhere.
