The guys over at Remedy have posted the what they say is going to be the last promotional material before the release of AWE, the second and final DLC expansion for the multiplaform game Control. Here’s the first fifteen minutes of the AWE expansion, with live gameplay.

AWE will release on August 27th, 2020 as part of the game’s Season Pass or for people who purchase the game’s Ultimate Edition. It looks like we have access to a new costume in this expansion, and the current rumor is this outfit unlocks after playing the soon to be released boss rush mode. But that’s not what you want me to talk about is it? Alan Wake is back, baby!

Control is out now for PC, Xbox One and PS4. Control: Ultimate Edition, which will include all of the game’s DLC, is coming August 27th for Steam, and September 10th for PS4 and Xbox One.

Remedy has just announced Control: Ultimate Edition. A combined version of the game that includes all of the previously released DLC and patch updates. Oh, and it’s coming to Steam too! Here’s the official trailer.

You’re not going to need to get this if you already have the game’s Digital Deluxe Edition or Season Pass, but if you’re a new player who hasn’t picked up Control yet (or want to play the game on a different platform), the Ultimate Edition is your best option.

Control: Ultimate Edition is coming to Steam August 26th, 2020. It’s coming to EGS, Xbox One and PS4 on September 10th, 2020.

Today seems to be the day of the delay, as Microsoft has just confirmed they will be delaying the highly-anticipated Halo Infinite’s Holiday 2020 release to an undefined time next year. This is a big deal as we expected this game to be a launch title for the Xbox Series X, and now we don’t know what games can be expected to take its place.

Halo is still the biggest platform exclusive property Microsoft has. It’s clear they would not have taken this decision lightly. There were concerns over graphics and gameplay in its recent reveal video, but I didn’t share those concerns. We will keep you posted with new information as it becomes available.

Halo Infinite is coming to Xbox One, Xbox Series X and PC in 2021.
