Godzilla and King Kong are stomping into Call of Duty

Add as a preferred source on Google

After months of leaks, rumors, and obvious teases, Call of Duty finally put out an official announcement and teaser that Godzilla and King Kong are bringing their fight to Call of Duty Warzone and Vanguard. The collaboration is happening on May 11, but details on what it will exactly entail are still mysterious.

The in-game event is called “Operation Monarch,” a reference to the scientific organization dedicated to kaiju research in Legendary Pictures’ Monsterverse series of films. It seems the operations are going to be brought to the Call of Duty world along with the iconic movie duo. It’s yet another appearance for the busy monsters, who will star in an upcoming Godzilla series and Godzilla vs. Kong sequel.

 

While there is official confirmation that the kings are coming, we don’t know exactly what the monsters will bring to Vanguard and Warzone. From the last teaser of the crossover, it seems that the two may be making the world their stomping ground, and players will have to evade them and the destruction they bring during their battle against others. Perhaps Godzilla’s iconic atomic breath will make an appearance as an obstacle, making it imperative for players to make it to safe houses or bunkers as teased in a previous trailer. Or maybe it’ll just mean some monster-inspired cosmetics are coming to the game.

Speaking of unlikely crossovers, Call of Duty just collaborated with another cultural giant, Snoop Dogg, who can currently be played in both Vanguard and Warzone. Hopefully he’ll get to stand toe-to-toe with the King of the Monsters.

Players can witness the battle of the two kaiju juggernauts in Call of Duty on May 11.

Assassin's Creed IV Black Flag

After multiple rounds of rumors and leaks, Ubisoft has officially confirmed a Worldwide Reveal Showcase for Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced. The reveal was first rumored for last week, only for fresh rumors to push it to this week instead. Ubisoft has now put that speculation to rest.

The event goes live on April 23 at 9AM PDT / 4PM UTC / 6PM CEST on YouTube. Ubisoft even leaned into the whole saga, dubbing it "Gaming's Worst Kept Secret" in its teaser video. That's hardly an exaggeration given how long the rumors have been circulating online.

Shortly after Intel revealed its full Panther Lake lineup, rumors started swirling about two chips that didn't make the cut. These were originally designed to compete with AMD's Ryzen Z2 series, but their launch was delayed for reasons we don’t know. Now, one of them has resurfaced online.

OnePlus’ gaming controller for phones has a neat little charging trick that you’ll love
The new add-on does more than add buttons, it could make charging and cooling much less awkward during longer phone gaming sessions
Body Part, Finger, Hand

OnePlus’ new controller for the Ace 6 Ultra looks like another attempt to turn a phone into a handheld, but the smarter idea is the open space in the middle. OnePlus says that section is meant for cooling, and the company’s promo images make clear that this isn’t just a grip with triggers bolted on. It’s a design that tries to leave room for heat management and easier power options at the same time.

OnePlus is still selling it on gaming features, including four physical buttons, hybrid touch-and-button controls, micro-switch inputs, a 1 kHz polling rate, and a claimed 1.8 ms response time. But comfort over time is the more convincing pitch, especially for shooters that punish awkward hand positions and a hot phone.
