Focus:

1. "Call of Duty: Black Ops 6" multiplayer testing is about to begin

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 multiplayer testing will kick off in August with two separate testing weekends.

It is worth mentioning that this test no longer distinguishes between platforms. Any player who pre-orders the game on PC or console, as well as all Game Pass subscribers, can get access during the first test weekend. As for what will be in the Black Ops 6 test, we will get detailed information at the Call of Duty: Next showcase on August 28.

First testing weekend:

Start time: 1:00 a.m. on August 31, Beijing time

End time: 4:00 a.m. on September 5, Beijing time

Second testing weekend:

Start time: 1:00 am, September 7, Beijing time

End time: 4:00 a.m. on September 10, Beijing time

2. The development version of "Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2" is suspected to be leaked

On Sunday, a 70GB copy of Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine II was uploaded to a pirated website, nearly two months before its official release.

It is understood that the date of this version is June 20, 2024. If accurate, this is basically the complete version of "Starfighter 2". On July 9, publisher Focus Entertainment announced that the game has entered the press.

PC Gamer has confirmed that a file purporting to be a development build of Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine II is currently listed on a Russian torrent site, and videos taken from the build have begun to appear on YouTube. The site shows that more than 500 people have downloaded the leaked build.

The leaked video shows that the version still has some problems. For example, in the graphics settings menu, some screenshots show placeholders when they should show the difference between various settings (such as the level of anti-aliasing and lighting quality).

3. EA Sports FC25 will be officially announced soon

EA has unveiled its next entry in this year's football simulation series, announcing that the full reveal of EA Sports FC 25 will arrive on July 17.

Currently, EA Sports has announced the five stars who will appear on the cover of this year's Ultimate Edition. These include three retired legendary stars: David Beckham, Zinedine Zidane and Gianluigi Buffon, as well as two active stars: Jude Bellingham of Real Madrid and Aitana Bombati of Barcelona.

4.343 Industries team is significantly reduced

According to Twitter user and podcast host BathrobeCast, he has obtained information about Halo from reliable sources in the past, claiming to have communicated with 12 current and former 343 Industries employees to understand the current situation of the studio and plans for future Halo projects. According to their understanding, 343 Industries continued to lose employees in 2023 and 2024, and the studio was more inclined to outsource content. During this period, the number of internal employees decreased from about 500 to less than 280, and 50 to 60 contract workers were laid off.

The podcast host mentioned that some roles were moved to Microsoft's Xbox team between 2023 and 2024, rather than remaining within 343 Industries, in order to more clearly divide the responsibilities of Halo content. The studio increased its outsourcing ratio, but many developers were dissatisfied with the leadership's failure to learn lessons from the production of Halo: Infinite.

The above is the content of today's morning report. Every morning, we will report the important information that happened at home and abroad from late last night to early this morning in the form of flash news. I am the fierce shark man fish king. I wish you all good health and smooth work. See you tomorrow.
