Halo: Campaign Evolved Released, Free Armor Codes Offered July 28, 2026

Today marks the day that the standard edition of Halo: Campaign Evolved is released on all platforms. To celebrate the game’s launch, Microsoft has been offering players universally recognized unlock codes for two exclusive armor permutations.

First up is the Sandstone Ancient armor, which was released over the weekend as an apology for Xbox Live’s unannounced (but highly predicable) service downtime.

The second code was teased over the weekend, and it is the Damascus Prototype armor. Clad in a glorious translucent green, the armor invokes the color of the original Xbox development kits (as well as the later Halo Collector’s Edition Xbox console).

You will need to unlock both codes on Halo’s official website Halo Waypoint. Personally I recommend typing the codes in manually as the website seems to have issues with copy/pasting directly from the images.

Halo: Campaign Evolved is out now for PC, Xbox Series X/S and PS5.

We’re on the cusp of the release of the next major Spider-Man film, Spider-Man: Brand New Day. To celebrate this milestone, Insomniac Games has released a brand-new patch for Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 adding TWO new character skins. One is based upon Spider-Man’s costume in the new film, and the other is based upon the costume for the upcoming Marvel fighting game Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls.

If you’d like a closer look the skin before looking it up in the game, here’s the film’s FINAL TRAILER.

The two new outfits are added automatically upon patch of the game. I’ve been informed this patch was released on both the PS5 and PC versions!

My most anticipated third-party title coming this year is without a doubt Control Resonant. A sequel to the 2019 masterpiece Control, you will take the role of Dylan as he fights to contain a breach of The Oldest House.

Earlier today, Remedy released a big developer diary which is giving us a first look at some of the abilities we’ll have access to in the game! Playing as Dylan will not be like playing Jesse!

Control: Resonant is coming September 2026 to PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X/S.

It has been seven years since we saw The Avengers save the Earth from the forces of Thanos. Since that battle, we still know little of their fates. Avengers Tower was left abandoned and was later picked up by a group calling themselves the Thunderbolts, new superheroes such as Ms Marvel and Shang Chi have come forward to join the ongoing fight against evil, and with the death of He Who Remains, superhero teams from alternate universes such as the Fantastic Four and the X-Men are prepared to collide.

I just have one question. Who is ready to stop Dr. Doom?

Avengers: Doomsday is coming to theaters December 2026.

The latest game to take place in Insomniac’s Gamerverse is Wolverine, and earlier today Sony released the latest trailer for the game. Sadly we get no gameplay, but there are teases as to what environments and villains we can expect in the game. Give it a watch below:

The major news is this trailer will be shown on the big screen during presentations of The Odyssey. I plan to see The Odyssey on 70MM IMAX next week and now I’m curious if this trailer is going to be attached for the IMAX print. It would be incredible experience watching it on a sixty-foot tall screen.

Wolverine is coming September 15, 2026 exclusively to the PS5.
