In today's Daily Fix:
Via the Wall Street Journal, the next mainline Call of Duty game will likely launch straight to Xbox Game Pass later this year. The game, reportedly Black Ops 6, will be the first Call of Duty title to launch on Game Pass since publisher Activision was acquired by Microsoft in one of the biggest deals in video game history. Activision's previous head, Bobby Kotick, had not allowed the franchise on any subscription service, but since the acquisition things have obviously changed. In related Microsoft news, Redfall will finally get the last update that was promised. The update will include fixes to the Neighborhood and Nest systems, bug fixes, and an Offline Mode that players had been wanting since its disastrous release last year. Developer Arkane Austin was shuttered earlier this month, so it's surprising that this update will even happen. And finally, a new Total War game is in development, and if the rumors are true, it'll be set in the Star Wars universe. This won't be the first Star Wars RTS, but it will be the first in the popular Total War series that emphasizes large unit numbers. We'd gladly play through the Battle of Hoth for the umpteenth time in a Total War engine.
