Receive to a specialized "Catching informed two weeks of news!" edition of Missing Pieces, courtesy of BlizzCon last week.

This hebdomad we have Doritos-flavored Mountain Dew, new Tony Monger, shaving skim co-marketing, and integer thumb wrestling. Why? Just Cause.

Field of dreams

Commend a couple of weeks back when we got really overexcited about that Witcher 3 teaser? The one that was upright an hollow champaign?

BioWare is getting in on this new vanity rage, releasing concept art for the forthcoming Mass Effect title. Begin ready! This is very thick:

So often empty place! And our good friend, the Mako shark!

Stealing home

Rockstar reiterated this week that the "Heist" content originally discussed approximately a year ago is stillness coming "rattling soon." Soul probably misplaced the disc marked "Burglarize Content" next to the disc starred "Red Dead Salvation PC Port."

Catching my breath

Ubisoft ready-made good connected its promise to take a fan to the top of a Nepalese mountain and force him or her to play Far Outcry 4. 23-year-old Will Cruz of Provost, Utah played the upcoming game at a populace record elevation of 18,569 feet. Cruz was accompanied by a team of 15 people, World Health Organization helped carry the author, TV, and heterogenous sundries requisite to play a video gritty at the peak of Kala Patthar.

And after all that work, he only played the game for a bit over an hr. Though I assume that has even as much to dress with the fact that it was 17 degrees.

Explosions in the pitch

Game Betrayer broke the only story I caution near in the entire games industry: Fair-and-square Causal agency 3 is connected its manner in 2022.

Hawk Hawk Hawk

Oh delay, did I enjoin Just Do 3 is the only game announcement I care about? I forgot that Sir Tony Hawk himself announced in that respect's a brand new Tony Hawk Pro Skater game coming in 2022 besides. The like, a real incomparable. Not just that dumb mobile game from earliest this year.

I'm currently working with Activision on a console pun for 2022 (along with a new mobile gritty). I think fans of THPS series will be hyped.

Sony by a nose

Another month, another put together of Sony-led NPDs. Despite some high-profile Sony bugs this month, an Xbox One price cut and host of bundles, and whatsoever notable Xbox Unity exclusives, the PlayStation 4 continues to outsell its challenger.

Dewritos

I'd like to formally vestibul whoever's in file of churchgoing texts to add a fifth Horseman of the Apocalypse. Alongside Famine, State of war, Pestilence, and Death I'd like to tag on "Doritos-flavored Mountain Dew."

Reddit user (sigh) joes_nipples spotted Wads Dew Dewitos at a recent taste-test event, and described the flavor as "Like if you shoved a fistful of Doritos in your verbalize and chugged some Dew at the same time." Damn it, Pepsi Cola Co., what hath you wrought?

Poor Patrice

Patrice Desilets, well-nig identified for creating Assassin's Creed, has founded some other studio—Elan Digital Games. Considering Ubisoft bought his old studio from THQ in 2022 exclusively to fire him a few months later, I'm right waiting for the same to happen here. Care Third base Eye Blind, Ubisoft bequeath never let Patrice go.
