The PlayStation 5 event on Sept. 16 unveiled a huge surprise for the Call of Duty fans. Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War was expected to make an appearance, but an exclusive alpha test surely wasn’t on any gamer’s agenda. The first alpha test went live of CoD: Black Ops Cold War for PS4 owners, only, on Sept. 18, and there has been a couple of hiccups that proved to be a nuisance for players that were trying to get a taste of the new CoD title.

With the gameplay reveal of Street Fighter 6, many fans were quick to point out one specific shot from Ryu’s Special Move, Shin Shoryuken, has an effect that is very reminiscent of moves from Mortal Kombat. And, because of this similarity, we have some form of confirmation that a Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat crossover of some kind may have been in the cards at one point.  Even though fans were pointing it out, the person to get the most interesting response was actually former Tekken series producer and current director Katsuhiro Harada, who posted the image with the classic MK caption “FINISH HIM!

This year’s Master camos in Zombies are amazing. They’re called Golden Viper, Plague Diamond, and Dark Aether, and they’re the ultimate reward for dedicated zombie slayers. The camo grind should keep players busy for quite a while, considering they’re pretty difficult and time-consuming to acquire.
