Everyone has a fighting chance
The Crew 2 is speeding along in its newest major update, Demolition Derby! Bringing the chance to go head to head with other players in time attack races as well as smashing viciously into others while destroying cars left and right in the Demolition Derby discipline. This huge update brings all this and more and I had a chance to check it all out ahead of time courtesy of Ubisoft.
Yesterday we shared the latest trailers from Modus Games’s new indie 3D arena fighter Override: Mech City Brawl. If you were won over by its charming personality or competitive-minded mechanics, you might be happy to know two things:
Wednesday Night Fights x Oakland will be running the first official Override: Mech City Brawl tournament post-release, and the event will be streamed courtesy of ThePandoraHouse. Modus Games themselves are putting up $100 in tournament prizes and giving out free copies of the game, so if you happen to be in Cali and can go to Wednesday Night Fights, you should get in on the Robo-Rumble!
Excited for @ThePandoraHouse hosting the first official @OverrideMCB tourney at #WNFOAKLAND!

Epic Games is ready to take on Steam by launching its own multi-game store platform. The company blog indicates that the store has been in progress for over five years. The Epic Games Launcher will be made available for PC and Mac and will feature, of course, Fortnite and the Unreal Engine. “We built a worldwide ecosystem supporting dozens of payment methods; and we gained great economies of scale thanks to Fortnite’s growth.” the blog reads.
Tito Ortiz appeared to retire following his knockout victory against Chuck Liddell at Golden Boy MMA: Liddell vs. Ortiz 3 last month, claiming that he was “done” with MMA. Now, it seems he might have left one task undone.
While it began quietly doing some testing earlier this year, it seems the folks at Skybound and NMC Studios are ready to tear the roof off their own particular take on the Battle Royale genre. Notmycar is going to be a perfect hybrid of Battle Royale and car combat games like the ill-fated Auto Assault, with a Closed Beta “Test Drive” kicking off this weekend on December 8th.
While the Ultimate Fighting Championship seems to be considering having Kamaru Usman jump the line to a welterweight title shot, Tyron Woodley and Colby Covington remain fixated on each other.
The Pokemon Go blog has been updated with the big news that Trainer Battles are finally coming to the game. Later in December, players will be able to challenge friends or any other Trainer in the area. Each player will sport a team of three Pokemon that will duke it out to see which one survives the encounter. Win or lose, “both participants will receive great rewards, including a chance at rare Evolution items”.
Brian Ortega is set to lock horns with Max Holloway for the undisputed Ultimate Fighting Championship featherweight title on Saturday night in Toronto, but the man they call “T-City” has concerns over the bout in light of Holloway’s recent history.
The Saga of Lucimia team has sent out a new trailer to provide a “peek behind the curtain” for Update 11 coming this weekend. “Tonight John and I hopped in with some of our Dev Tavern folks and other developers to showcase a little bit of how the flow of the game feels these days compared to previous builds.”
Population Zero is an upcoming open world survival MMO currently in development. Players will be split into multiple colonies and factions, “constantly in conflict with each other for resources, technologies and territories”. Players will be able to become leaders of their colonies and work cooperatively to “conquer the deadly environment to discover all the riddles of this alien and ancient planet”.
