Good evening Gamers,
Happy Monday, this weekend was relatively quiet, but with Halo Infinite’s launch this week and The Game Awards, I think we can all agree this is the calm before the storm and the rush into the end of 2021 and get ready to usher in all those delayed 2021 titles we have been waiting for. In today edition of The Weekend Wrap, we welcome Fortnite’s Chapter 3 and the newest Expansion into the crazy fun that is Hot Wheels Unleashed. But before we do that, the team have been busy all week getting the daily news out and our newly minted 42-year-old editor (Happy Birthday Pottsy) has put together a cracking edition of OMG’s Week That Was.
The Week That Was!
Here at OMG, we have all the news and announcements from the past week in one spot. Xbox has announced some strong additions to Game Pass, while PlayStation has another strong month of PlayStation Plus games upcoming. We have one review with Halo Infinite Multiplayer. To finish off we have 17 0f this week’s newest trailers including Halo Infinite, Starfield, Warframe, Quake, Rainbow Six Extraction and lots more. Join us for the week that was.
Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 1 Flipped Overview Trailer
“The Fortnite Island has been flipped and a new one has been revealed. Due to a particularly cold winter, the first thing you’ll notice about the Island is that the western half’s a wintry biome. Perhaps stop by the suburban Greasy Grove, the industrial Logjam Lumberyard, and other locales.
Like warmer weather? To the east are the tropics, with coastal keys, palm trees, and weathered sights to see. Although The Seven have outposts all throughout the Island, the tropics are home to their home, the “Sanctuary.” This compound is right next to the coast, where you can get a clear view of the colossal rock statue of The Foundation. And speaking of colossal, the towering, web-covered Daily Bugle building is also in the area.
Like even warmer weather? In the south, you can find the desert (some of it decorated in snow), but this desert isn’t barren on interesting places. Go off-road racing at Chonker’s Speedway, revel in cozy living at Condo Canyon, and something that will wet even the driest eyes, “come on down” to the returning Butter Barn.
A fresh slate of weapons awaits you on the Island. Here’s a rundown of what’s new!
Ranger Assault Rifle Made for distance! The Ranger Assault Rifle is forceful at medium range and quite capable at long range.
MK-Seven Assault Rifle Built from The Seven’s technology, the MK-Seven Assault Rifle is a medium- to long-range weapon with a high rate of fire. This Assault Rifle has a sight you can use while aiming. Align your target with the sight’s red dot! If you want something even better, confront The Foundation for a special version of the MK-Seven Assault Rifle, sporting a slightly faster fire rate.
Striker Pump Shotgun The Striker Pump Shotgun shoots a whole lot of pellets and boasts high burst damage. Aim… then strike! Auto Shotgun An automatic ally that lays down some serious firepower.
The Auto Shotgun may not deal as much damage as the Striker Pump per shot, but it has a faster fire rate and reloads two shells at a time.
Stinger SMG Appropriately named, the Stinger SMG deals high damage to both opponents and structures. It stings at a medium-range more than one may expect!
Sidearm Pistol A trusty weapon to have by your side, the Sidearm Pistol is an accurate weapon that deals high damage at medium range and high headshot damage at close range. Don’t underestimate it!
Hunter Bolt-Action Sniper The Hunter Bolt-Action Sniper deals high damage and can shoot three shots per clip. Get a second chance if you don’t land your shot the first time! (And a third… just in case.)
Hot Wheels Unleashed sees Batman making his way to the game right now.
“The Batman Expansion brings a huge amount of new playable content with a brand-new Career map to complete, inspired by Gotham, and a breathtaking new environment with many new tracks, the Batcave. The expansion also includes 5 themed vehicles, The Penguin, Robin™ 2.0T, Armored Batman™, Batman™ Rebirth, The Joker™ GT, a new Track Builder Module, the Joker Funhouse Split, and many themed customisation items. The Batman Expansion is included in the HOT WHEELS™ Pass Vol. 1 or can be purchased separately from today.”
You can watch the trailer below.
That’s it for this week from me, keep your eyes peeled to our socials for our run down from The Game Awards this week and our early impressions of the Halo Infinite campaign.
Stay Safe and as always enjoy just One More Game!
