The technical assessment is a very comprehensive and important concept in the technical world because this is directly linked with the skills which the employees possess and use on the daily basis. It will always provide the organization with a proper idea about which of the abilities the employees are lacking and what their most important skills are so that several kinds of decisions are made and everybody is benefited from the whole process.

Skills are considered to be the most important asset which any employee or organization can possess. These kinds of skills set will always provide the organization and employees to master several kinds of tasks and improve work performance very easily.

Hence, technical assessment is a very important component of the organizational operations so that skills can be fine-tuned and a successful training program can be formulated in the organization. It will also allow the organizations to fine-tune the training initiatives, narrow down the gaps of performance so that productivity can be increased and the corporate audience can fulfill their responsibilities very well.

Following are some of the tips for the organization to effectively implement the technical assessment:

Organizations should focus on both technical as well as soft skills: The biggest mistake which any organization can make is to ignore the soft skills at the time of conducting the pre-employment assessments. These kinds of skills are also very much important which are required at the workplace which is the main reason any of the corporate leaders must have many ideas about the things they are using along with proper communication so that common issues can be dealt with very easily.

Technical skill is the skill that is related to that particular profession or field and on the other hand, the soft skill can be termed as the skill which allows people to communicate and collaborate among themselves. Simulation is the best possible way and most effective tool for testing all these kinds of skills because it is the only way in which employees interact with each other in the virtual environment and this is the best possible way of understanding the language, behavior, and emotions of people.

People should focus on the specific skill sets related to the job: Rather than conducting the generic technical assessment, it is very much important for the organizations to focus on job-specific skill assessments so that everything is based upon responsibilities as well as proper allocation of the day to day tasks.

Hence, in case people want to concentrate on several kinds of skills that matter then the technical assessment must be implemented because it will always help in discovering all the skills which are important to the organization with the help of proper observation in the workplace, by conducting the surveys and by speaking with the supervisors.

The organizations should focus on finding the most ideal testing method: Another great benefit of going with the option of technical assessment is that the most technical and ideal testing method can be found. Hence, it is the responsibility of the organizations to find the ideal testing method to make sure that core skills can be easily accessed and for this purpose, the organizations must always come with the most creative approaches.

The online scenarios can be utilized in testing the skills for example skills related to customer service, problem-solving skills, and several other kinds of things. The organization should always focus on establishing the assessments which are mobile-friendly so that responsive test can be developed which will automatically adjust to the screen size very easily and will make sure that employees can provide the best possible responses.

The organizations should also focus on adding the personalization element: There are skill assessments that do not have a single size fit approach. Hence, the employee should be given a personalized assessment depending on the needs, preferences, and conditions of the company. Hence, every department should focus on having proper skill assessments into the organization which will provide the complete and comprehensive opportunity of testing the skills which are associated with the work performance of the employees so that overall goals are easily achieved.

The sales employees never need to repair any of the computers and the IT employees never need to negotiate with the customer. Hence, the needs and demands of every employee-related to the technical assessment will be referred which is the main reason the personalization element should be very well added to enhance the value of the program and make sure that the subject matter is very well understood so that testing is perfectly fine and work performance is significantly improved. Hence, when the people will be actively participating in the things the skill assessment procedure will become very much simplified.

The employee testing resources should be offered: Rather than asking the employees to complete the skill assessment, the organizations should focus on improving their skills by providing them with the testing resources in the workplace. A very big classic example of this particular system can be a tutorial that will always focus on simulations and feature characteristics as well as challenges which the employees have to overcome.

During this particular skill assessment, the tools can be utilized to make sure that everything is perfectly implemented and the employees will be able to look up the information. The basic purpose of the skill assessment is to test the real-world skills and challenges in this particular skill assessment should also be based on the real-world environment as well as challenges so that there are no issues throughout the process.

This is a very valuable tool that should be implemented by the organization to make sure that corporate learners are very effectively utilizing it. Corporate training should be dependent on these kinds of tools so that training strategies can be devised by the organizations and the evolving needs of the employees can be met very easily. Hence, skills assessment must be undertaken after paying proper attention to the above-mentioned tips so that the learning process becomes very easy.

Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 Probably Won’t Be Released in Early 2021

According to Paradox Interactive’s CEO, Ebba Ljungerud, Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 most likely won’t be launched during the first half of 2021. In a way, this announcement doesn’t come as a surprise since this year hit developer Hardsuit Labs especially hard, which resulted in the game’s delay more than twice.

Initially, Bloodlines 2 was set to release in the first quarter of 2020. However, it was revealed some time in October 2019 that the game would be delayed. During that announcement, Hardsuit Labs stated that it needed more time in order to further refine and polish the upcoming title, postponing the game instead to later in 2020.

In August of this year, however, the developer once again announced that Bloodlines 2 would be pushed back to 2021 “to ensure the best player experience possible.” This time, Hardsuit Labs didn’t provide a specific release window, but now it appears that fans won’t be able to experience Bloodlines 2 at least until the second half of next year.

In a recent interview with Swedish publication Placera, Ljungerud stated the following: “I do not think it will come in the first half of the year, but we will see.”

ss_c81055c10241ed83a09452a74e494129c5253a79-1920x1080-3777136

He then clarified by saying that the reason for this delay is because publisher Paradox Interactive decided to port Bloodlines 2 on the next-gen consoles, along with the fact that the COVID-19 pandemic caused some complications that just couldn’t be avoided.

As mentioned, 2020 has been a difficult year for Hardsuit, as the studio has experienced several sudden staff exits. More or less a week after it was announced that Bloodlines 2 would be delayed yet again, both Hardsuit Labs and Paradox Interactive made the decision to fire Brian Mitsoda, the game’s narrative lead designer, and Ka’ai Cluney, the creative director.

Mitsoda said that this decision “came as a shock” to him and that he was never given any indication that he was unsuccessful with his work on Bloodlines 2. Once October 2020 arrived, more staff changes followed suit when Cara Ellison, the senior narrative designer for the game, decided to leave the project.

The developer also decided to remove any content by designer Chris Avellone after he was accused of allegedly drugging and sexually assaulting women. Although, Hardsuit said that the content Avellone contributed was only “brief.”

Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines was released in 2004, and Bloodlines 2 is the highly-anticipated sequel of the cult-hit title. The game was inspired by a tabletop RPG with the same title and is set in the World of Darkness by White World Gaming Studio.

Even though the original game was dearly beloved by its fans, many still criticized it for its numerous technical problems. Now that Bloodlines 2 is in the works, developer Hardsuit Games wants to ensure that the sequel doesn’t have the same problems and that it perfects all the good elements of the first game.

Bloodlines 2 will supposedly require players to make difficult moral decisions that will not only affect them but other characters as well. As such, players have to really think about each and every consequence of their actions before making any life-changing decisions.

It may be disappointing to hear that Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 probably won’t be released until much later in 2021, but on the bright side, this means that Hardsuit Labs will have enough time to polish the game to perfection.

Apex Legends Players Discover Bug in Olympus Map

Apex Legends Season 7 was released only last month, and with it came new content for players to supposedly enjoy. However, some players have been noticing some problems with the brand-new map, Olympus, which was introduced in this newest season.

One major problem that players have experienced with this new map is that there’s a certain spot wherein they get stuck and they can’t do anything to free their character. To make matters worse, the players quickly die soon after they get trapped.

The Olympus map may feature some hidden easter eggs that players have been enjoying, but the discovery of this “death spot” has definitely put a damper on the map. To be more specific, the chaos takes place in the Grow Towers, which is one of the locations in Olympus.

apex-blog-image-olympus-map-08-growtowers-jpg-adapt_-1456w-9639417

Players are usually seen battling it out near this area, with some finding refuge in the curved buildings. However, getting inside these buildings to begin with appears to be a more difficult task than expected — one could even describe it as “deadly.”

One Reddit user with the handle WOAHderWOAHder was recently a victim of the death spot, and they were able to take a video of the exact moment it happened. The clip, which they posted on the Apex Legends Reddit community, begins with the player trying to jump onto the Grow Tower. Unfortunately, they weren’t able to land on the edge of the platform.

However, instead of falling back down or being able to move, WOAHderWOAHder’s character got stuck on the edge of the tower’s curved floor. The player tried pressing different buttons in an attempt to break free, but nothing seemed to work.

As the character flailed about in that one spot, the character began to clip through the curved texture and instead, see the sky below. This is a clear indication that something is wrong and needs to be fixed by the developers.

Since nothing seemed to work for the player, they decided to stop moving but instead, their character instantly died in that spot. WOAHderWOAHder was using Lifeline at that time, but her healing drone could have done nothing at that moment to help. Powerless to do anything, the player’s lifeless character simply crumpled and fell to the ground.

Respawn making sure I don’t go positive in ranked from apexlegends

The events that took place were both sudden and confusing, to say the least, and it’s best that Apex Legends players remain cautious if they want to enter the Grow Tower. Many players responded to the Reddit post, voicing out their complaints against the tower as well.

One user, BranislavBGD, commented saying “that first curve that you have to deal with is sooo annoying!” User vomhead said that they found the tower’s design to be “atrocious,” while another user who goes by Mirage_Main commented saying that “the towers themselves cause motion sickness to some” and “mess with depth perception for others.”

Given the fact that Olympus is a floating tower and players can therefore fall off is already difficult in and of itself, and this bug only makes things worse. While a fix for the death spot may not make players like the Grow Tower any more, it’s still necessary that Respawn Entertainment does something about this bug as soon as possible.

Astro’s Playroom Designers Confirms No DLC is Coming

Though the developers from Team Asobi are open to considering making an Astro’s playroom expansion or even a sequel on the PlayStation 5, designer and Japan Studio CEO Nicolas Doucet has verified that no such project is currently in progress.

Intriguingly, this appears to contravene a statement from Doucet himself from a blog post ahead of the PlayStation 5’s release, wherein he mentioned that “Astro will be back with news soon.” Now, this news has been covered in mystery.

Astro’s Playroom is a small but free game that comes preinstalled on all PlayStation 5 units. At its core, the game from Team Asobi serves as a showcase for the entire next-gen console’s DualSense controller’s features.

As many fans and critics have noticed, though, the game goes above and beyond expectations, giving an experience that feels as though it is much more than just a demo. Sadly, it appears the little robot’s rather short adventure won’t be receiving a continuation anytime soon.

According to Edge Magazine, Doucet revealed that even though Team Asobi wanted to further explore the new features of the DualSense controller, there are currently no plans in doing additional Astro’s Playroom content.

During the interview, Doucet mentioned that “at this moment in time, there’s no plan for an extension of Astro’s Playroom, but I think it’s going to come down to the popularity of the game.”

He acknowledged that while critics are particularly fond of the game, he and his team are waiting on a response from the gaming community before making any moves. Doucet added, “if the character has popularity, and if it proves that people are really having fun, [an extension or sequel] could be one avenue to follow.”

Thus, Astro’s Playroom’s future is oblivion for the time being. Provided the title’s cleverly integrated PlayStation easter eggs, exciting gameplay, and alluring world, players will soon begin getting their hopes up for a new entry. If so, they can only hope that Team Asobi gives the title another opportunity to shine on the PlayStation 5.

Obviously, Astro’s Playroom isn’t the first time that the little guy is featured in a game. Astro was also featured in Astro Bot Rescue Mission which is a PS VR game that released on Sony’s platform back in 2018.

The game, too, was nothing short of a captivating adventure, one that a lot of players found enjoyment in. Intriguingly, much like Astro’s Playroom for the DualSense, Astro Bot Rescue Mission operated as a showcase for the PlayStation VR.

Riot Games Addresses Growing Smurf Problem in Valorant

When someone mentions the word “smurf,” one would typically imagine the small, blue-colored creatures who live in mushroom-shaped houses. However, this isn’t the case for players of Riot Games’ Valorant, as the term “smurf” has a completely different meaning that can even evoke anger or annoyance.

Valorant players across the different ranks available, whether they play ranked or unranked matches, have all complained about the act of smurfing and how it puts a damper on everyone else’s gameplay.

Fortunately, Riot Games has finally taken notice of this growing problem and released a brand-new “Ask Valorant” blog post that addresses the smurfing issue. Riot Games will be releasing patch 1.14 soon, which will contain the first step to preventing smurfs from ruining a match.

In this upcoming update, the requirement in order to unlock the ranked mode will no longer depend on the number of games played but rather, the number of games won.

Not only that, but Riot Games is also trying to find better ways to easily detect smurfing in Valorant as well as execute harsher penalties for those who do it. Potential punishments could be reduced experience points, increased queue time, rank penalties, and possibly even bans.

Players will be able to start reporting other players that they suspect of smurfing, and the developer has previously said that it was considering the possibility of giving fans the ability to personally block smurfs so that they never get to play another match with them again.

In Riot Games’ 5-vs-5 tactical shooter, a smurf comes in two different forms, but both types never fail to ruin what could have been a perfectly fun match. One type of smurf comes in the form of a high ranking player who intentionally queues up in matches that consist of lower-ranked players. Naturally, they will be up against players will less experience than they do, securing a win for their team.

For this kind of smurf, the player will increase their rank as high as possible, and when the queue times get longer and longer, they will either remain AFK for at least 20 matches or surrender, which will get them queued along with lower ranks.

The second type of smurf simply wants to play Valorant without having to sit through the game’s queuing system. As such, they will play the game as much as possible until they reach a rank wherein the queue times are significantly longer.

Then, they will simply create a new account and start from the very beginning, fighting against players that have less experience with the game than they do. Since Valorant is free, creating a new account is simple to do.

Of course, these kinds of tactics are incredibly unfair to players who are playing honestly. Riot Games created Valorant with the purpose of it being a team-based online game. As such, it’s totally inconsiderate for a player to sit AFK throughout a match when full participation is required and relied upon.

That being said, it’s great that Riot is finally doing something about this issue and we hope that as more updates go live, less and less smurfing takes place.

Atlus Has Announced the Full Reveal Date of Persona 5 Strikers

Persona 5 Strikers, the Persona 5 spin-off with more of a musou-style gameplay, is finally getting an English release. The trailer for the upcoming game was leaked a few days ago which somewhat ruined the surprise a little bit, but now it appears that Atlus is ready to reveal more information about it.

Persona 5 Strikers takes place more or less six months after the events of the mainline Persona 5 game. What makes this title different, however, is the fact that it deviates from the usual RPG format and instead, follows a more Warriors-like gameplay.

In other words, hordes of enemies will be present on the map and it will be up to the Phantom Thieves of Hearts to strike them all down. Thanks to the leaked trailer, excited players now know that Persona 5 Strikers is scheduled to release in February 2021.

In addition, the game will be available on multiple platforms upon release as well, namely the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and even PC, much to the fans’ surprise. However, the trailer doesn’t really reveal a lot about the game asides from the fact that it will feature English voice acting.

We don’t have to remain in the dark for long though, as Atlus has announced in a recent tweet that “all will be revealed December 8.” Included in the tweet is a link to what appears to be the game’s official website.

That being said, the only thing on the game’s site at the moment is a simple teaser image that says “The Phantom Thieves of Hearts Will Return” but this will most likely change on December 8 once Atlus reveals more information.

We’re not exactly sure what the developer will be revealing, but we’re guessing that more details about Persona 5 Strikers’ gameplay, characters, and plot will be part of it. Even though dedicated Persona fans probably already know the general gist of Persona 5 Strikers, it’s still very exciting that an official English translation is heading our way.

Persona 5 fans were kept in the dark for quite a while regarding this game, wondering if Atlus was ever going to release an official English version. Even though there were leaks claiming that a translation for Persona 5 Strikers was in the works, there were no official announcements by Atlus until now.

screenshot-www-youtube-com-2020-12-07-12_26_05

Some fans in the Persona community were quite doubtful that Persona 5 Strikers was going to get an English release, but given how especially successful the franchise has been as of late, there was likely no need to be worried.

After all, Persona 5’s expanded version entitled Persona 5 Royal was nominated for The Game Awards 2020. Not only that, but the title was also extremely well-received both in and out of Japan. Besides, it has been proven by Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity’s success that gamers all over the world are more than willing to play musou games.

In other news, 2021 is looking to be a big year for the Persona community. It was recently confirmed that Atlus has “exciting plans” for the franchise’s 25th anniversary next year, so that’s definitely something to look forward to.

Upcoming GTA Online Update Will Introduce New Nightclub

Rockstar Games’ Grand Theft Auto Online continues to see success thanks to the fact that the developer still supports the game with updates. Speaking of updates, it appears that GTA Online’s next biggest expansion is getting closer and closer, and Rockstar Games has a lot of exciting things planned this year for the game’s dedicated fanbase.

Grand Theft Auto Online was initially released all the way back in 2013, and Rockstar Games has worked extra hard on it since then to ensure that it becomes one of the best and unforgettable online titles out there.

Thanks to the company’s sheer dedication and commitment spanning seven years, GTA Online was able to see its best fiscal second quarter during this year. This doesn’t come as a surprise though, especially since the online title will be making its way to the next-generation consoles next year.

Without a doubt, those fans who wish to continue their Grand Theft Auto adventure on either PS5 or Xbox Series X/S will be able to experience new content, starting on December 15 with the The Cayo Perico Heist.

screenshot-www-rockstargames-com-2020-12-07-11_15_55

In addition to that, there’s one another announcement that has made the Grand Theft Auto community buzz with excitement: Rockstar Games will be introducing a brand-new undergound nightclub known as “The Music Locker.”

Unfortunately, it doesn’t have a set launch date just yet. Although, the Rockstar Newswire states that the new club will be “opening soon in East Los Santos” beneath Diamond Casino & Resort. According to the Newswire, The Music Locker is “the greatest club that Los Santos has ever seen.” As such, it’s to be expected that world-class DJs will be present during incredible night parties.

For instance, “Detroit legend” Moodymann will be making an appearance during the club’s opening week. Other guests will be starring in later updates though, such as Palms Trax, Keinemusik, and more.

What’s more, those who own a penthouse in the Diamond Casino will have exclusive benefits, such as access to table service in The Music Locker’s VIP section.

screenshot-www-rockstargames-com-2020-12-07-12_08_43

As such, players will most likely come across and share a table with some of the elite members of East Los Santos’ society. That being said, the update with The Music Locker is touted to be the biggest musical update for GTA Online since its initial release, as it will also be adding new radio stations, new DJ’s as well as new music to the already-existing stations as time goes on.

Updates such as these may not mean much to some, but they’re substantial enough to flesh out the game even more. We’re confident that the future of Grand Theft Auto Online is in good hands with Rockstar Games.

While Rockstar Games is working wonders on this online title, it appears that the developer may be falling short on its other online game, Red Dead Online.

Red Dead Online may be another big online game by the same developer as GTA Online, but many players weren’t pleased by its latest Bounty Hunter update and it appears that its player count is slowly decreasing. As such, it doesn’t look like this one will have as bright a future as GTA Online.

Terry Crews and His Son Stream Danganronpa Together on Twitch for Charity

Twitch has had a long history of celebrities streaming on the platform, including renowned rapper Drake playing Fortnite with Ninja, and Snoop Dogg who frequently streams Madden on the site.

It’s not just celebrities, too — American Congresswoman AOC streamed Among Us on Twitch last month with Pokimane, Corpse, Jagmeet Singh, and others in order to raise funds for charity. Unsurprisingly, it became one of the most-watched streams in the history of Twitch.

Now, it appears that one other famous celebrity has joined the Twitch party, and it’s probably one of the most bizarre cameos so far. Terry Crews and his son, Isaiah Crews, took to Twitch to play a game we never would have thought they’d play.

1-4

Celebrities would usually take part in popular titles like Fortnite, Among Us, or perhaps Madden for those who are into sports. However, the father and son duo decided to play and stream Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc instead.

For those who are unfamiliar, Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc is the very first game in the series, and it’s a visual novel adventure developed by Spike. As the player, you have to investigate the murders that take place, finding clues that could lead to answers.

By the time the class trial takes place, you have to be ready to lay down all the facts and pinpoint who the killer is. In some ways, it’s similar to Ace Attorney in the sense that you have to look for clues and then participate in a trial.

Naturally, the stream immediately became viral, as viewers pondered on the fact that someone like Terry Crews, a high-profile actor, is playing a cult-classic Japanese visual novel.

As expected, given how well-known he is due to highly-popular titles such as Brooklyn Nine-Nine, White Chicks, and The Expendables, numerous clips of the stream were shared on social media. Most of them were very amusing indeed, with one clip showcasing Crews calling his viewers his “little pogchamp[s].”

https://twitter.com/RedMakuzawa/status/1335387212448350209?s=20

Other clips highlight the part where he hugged the camera, and when he said that Junko was his favorite girl from Danganronpa, even though his son hates her. The stream felt surreal, and many fans just couldn’t believe that it was actually happening.

As the stream went on, someone even donated hundreds of dollars just for Crews to take off his Christmas sweater and flex his muscles. With 2020 being such a turbulent year, Terry Crews enjoying a Japanese visual novel with his son seems like the wholesome year-ender we all needed.

Even though this was definitely not the kind of content viewers expected when they woke up yesterday and hopped onto Twitch, the stream in its entirety appeared to be a lot of fun. As a matter of fact, Crews and Isaiah were able to raise over $20,000 for the American Red Cross’ Hope for the Holidays charity.

The duo plans to play some more Danganronpa in a few weeks, although it’s not for charity this time but to simply continue the game and hang out. That being said, Crews isn’t new to the video game and streaming scene. In fact, he previously streamed Overwatch on the Caffeine app.

We’re definitely hoping that Crews will consider streaming more often, especially since his chemistry with his son and both their energies combined is something that everyone seems to enjoy watching.

The Last of Us 2 Director Promoted as Naughty Dog Co-President

A few hours ago, developer Naughty Dog revealed that Neil Druckmann, The Last of Us Part 2’s director, was promoted as the company’s co-president. The director has been with Naughty Dog since the mid-2000s and has left his innovative mark on most of the games that Naughty Dog released since then.

The development studio was founded all the way back in 1984, but it did not gain popularity in the gaming industry until the past few years. Famous for its franchises including Uncharted and The Last of Us, Naughty Dog has built a reputation for making narrative-driven titles that in certain ways feel as much like playing movies as they do video games.

These games have provided the studio with massive financial and essential success in spite of the fact that it has only released five games since 2010. Though there are a lot of contributing factors to Naughty Dog’s success in the past years, one of them is without a doubt Neil Druckmann.

the-last-of-us-yonetmeni-icin-sasirtan-terfi-2-e1607190512833-8505987

Evan Wells, now also Naughty Dog co-president, revealed today on the studio’s official website that Neil Druckmann will be joining him as one of the company’s highest-ranking officials after serving three years as vice president.

Along with the promotion of Druckmann, former co-director of programming Christian Gyrling and former director of operations Alison Mori were also both promoted to vice presidents. Evans ended the short announcement by expressing how important it has been working with Naughty Dog, especially for this particular year, and asked the gaming community to extend their greetings to all those who have been promoted.

Though Druckmann has had his innovative hands in most of the studio’s projects, he has become relative to The Last of Us franchise. He worked as the original game’s creative director before actually taking the director of the sequel.

The Last of Us Part 2 didn’t get the same universal appreciation as the first game, however, and this was mainly because of the controversial narrative decisions that divided the gaming community. Yet the director anticipated this possible divide as revealed as much in a recent interview before the game’s release, showing how he truly understands his craft.

neil-druckmann-talks-the-last-of-us-inspiration-1962569

While his promotion is well deserved, the result of it could go one of two ways. Though creating games is a joint effort, those in the outside world do not know particularly how Naughty Dog works in their creative process.

On one hand, Druckmann’s promotion might mean that his talent in storytelling will spread to more future games. However, the increased pressure and responsibility might prevent him from applying his personal touch that made his games so successful or, in the case of The Last of Us Part 2, so expansively talked about.

Regardless, all of these promotions certainly will have an impact on Naughty Dog’s upcoming projects for the foreseeable future.

Call of Duty Warzone, Black Ops Cold War First Season Update Has Been Delayed

In a blog posted yesterday, Activision revealed that the Call of Duty Warzone and Black Ops Cold War first season update will be pushed back by a week, moving the release from December 10th to December 16th, and will now be two separate update downloads. Call of Duty Warzone and Black Ops Cold War Season One will be one of the largest in series history, and the developers have confirmed it to be the biggest free content drop in Black Ops history as well.

Call of Duty Black Ops Cold War was originally fairly-received by fans, failing to make a significant impact but maintaining the overall quality players have expected from titles in the Call of Duty franchise.

However, once critics started reviewing the game, things instantly began going south – Black Ops Cold War remains stuck with an abysmal user score. And the first season update is anticipated to prove essential in whether or not the game can improve its reputation with fans. On the other hand, Call of Duty Warzone continues to harvest success, though committed players remain vigilant in their requests for additional content.

While the Call of Duty Warzone and Black Ops Cold War first season update is anticipated to help ease some of the problems both games are facing, it is now coming at a later date. Activision revealed in a blog post on the Call of Duty website that the first season is getting delayed by just a few days, pushing its launch back from December 10th to December 16th.

The postponement was also followed by statements from the development team that reminded players that they will be receiving “an undeniable offering” Black Ops Cold War additions and “an unprecedented amount of free Warzone content”.

Activision revealed that they just needed a “few more days” to get everything finalized for the “biggest Season One launch week ever seen,” once again highlighting that the upcoming season will be big for fans.

While this remains to be seen, there is no denying that there is the potential for that type of dramatic change thanks to what’s coming to the Warzone Season One update. A myriad of Black Ops Cold War blueprints and weapons are arriving in Warzone to shake up how the multiplayer battle royale turns out, while Black Ops Cold War itself will be receiving new modes, maps, and the return of 2v2 gunfight. There’s also the instance of a new map coming to Warzone, which is almost without a doubt called Rebirth Island, which was recently discovered by dataminers.
