Android-only play tests for Battlefield Mobile will begin this Fall in two countries: Indonesia and the Philippines.
EA announced this news on its Battlefield mobile play test FAQ page, adding that as EA continues with testing, more regions will be added to the play tests. EA didn't mention which regions, however.
"We'll be steadily rolling out Battlefield Mobile starting with a series of smaller play tests in Indonesia and the Philippines," the blog post reads. "The first of these begins Autumn 2021, and will only be available on Android devices. As we continue testing, we'll expand the size of these tests [and] add new regions."

Games with Ghibli vibes are becoming more prevalent these days, but so far, the closest I've gotten to feeling like a Ghibli protagonist floating in a summery field of grass has been with Hoa, a new platforming game from Vietnamese studio Skrollcat.
Hoa's inspirations are clear the moment the game starts, with a tiny protagonist floating dreamily to an island upon a single leaf before wordlessly beginning to explore. Without exposition, the titular Hoa begins to explore a world of sunlight filtered through green, gentle bug friends, hanging flowers and vines, sparkling cave systems, and soft, natural beauty. It's all done in a hand-painted style clearly nodding to its animated inspirations, and underscored by a tender, fully...
Halo Infinite will bring back the old motion tracker-style radar seen in Halo games before Halo 5 in light of feedback following the game's recent technical preview.
This news comes by way of a recent Halo Waypoint blog posted by 343 Industries breaking down all of the feedback the studio received during and following its recent technical preview, as reported by PC Gamer.
According to 343, most players missed the old properties of Halo radars, which differ from the game's current Combat Sensor that only displays enemy locations when they're sprinting or shooting a weapon.
"The Combat Sensor, or radar, that sits in the bottom left of your HUD follows a different set of rules than previous Halo titles," the blog post reads. "We knew...
A remaster of Alan Wake might be coming next month, according to a new store listing.
Back in June, Alan Wake Remastered appeared alongside Final Fantasy 7 Remake within Epic Games Store backend data. Now, a little over two months later, listings for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and Xbox versions of Alan Wake Remastered have appeared on Taiwanese store, Rakuten Taiwan, as spotted by Wario64 on Twitter.
The links Wario64 posted no longer take you to the Alan Wake Remastered listings, but before the links were changed, IGN was able to visit each link and verify that each took you to a Rakuten Taiwan listing for the game. Below are screenshots of the PS4, PS5, and Xbox listings for Alan Wake Remastered.

Amazon has some top deals for tantalizing games that are on the near horizon (one of which actually is a Horizon). Basically, there's never been a better time to stake your claim for Forbidden West, Elden Ring, Far Cry 6, and Call of Duty Vanguard. Not into the latest and greatest? Well, a five buck Fallout is always worth a shot. I've also sniffed out some great deals on Rockstar's greatest offerings, and you can't go wrong with a few half-priced Call of Duty titles.

We already knew that Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl, a Smash Bros-esque fighting game with characters from popular Nickelodeon shows, will be released on consoles this fall. But it appears that the release date is sooner than we expected if Nintendo's website is anything to go off of.

Curious to find out everything we know about Metroid Dread so far? We've got the Metroid Dread analysis you need to know, including why Metroid Dread IS Metroid 5. Metroid Dread is a direct continuation of Metroid Fusion on the Game Boy Advance. While the Metroid series will continue, producer Yoshio Sakamoto has stated that this game will be the conclusion of the storyline of Samus's particular relationship with the Metroids. While we're all still waiting for Metroid Prime 4, Metroid Dread looks to be an exciting new entry in the Metroid canon, along the lines of Super Metroid.

At Xbox and Bethesda's E3 2021 showcase, Todd Howard finally revealed an in-engine trailer for Starfield, the new open-world RPG from Bethesda Game Studios, the studio behind Skyrim.
