MW4 campaign drops, Battlefield goes free, and GeoGuessr reinvents itself

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4's campaign is live today, with GameSpot asking players to keep spoilers to themselves as the mode launches ahead of the wider release. Questions about when it hits Game Pass are already circulating, which tells you something about where players' heads are at. Separately, Battlefield 6 is currently free to claim on Steam, though the window is limited — worth grabbing if you have any interest at all.

GeoGuessr has made a significant genre pivot with what's being described as a must-play upgrade, a notable left turn for a title that built its audience on something far more niche. On the indie front, the creator of cult RPG The Necromancer's Tale has announced The Lich Wars, a storybook RPG spanning 30 years of undead conflict. Zero Parades, confirmed as the successor to Disco Elysium, has also been announced for Nintendo Switch 2 — good news for fans who have been waiting for something to fill that particular gap.

No Rest for the Wicked has detailed its 1.0 release, which is set for March 2027 on PS5 and is said to roughly double the current size of the game, alongside new class systems and other enhancements. A BioWare veteran has warned that big RPGs like The Witcher 4 put CD Projekt Red in a 'dangerous place,' a concern worth weighing given how long that development cycle is running. And analysts are floating the idea that the next Red Dead could arrive by 2027 or 2028 — a timeline one outlet is already calling unreasonable.
