Written by Jason Guisao 
Both Titanfall games have become a mainstay in the competitive shooter space. Fluid physics and tight gunplay have kept the servers active long after the incredibly popular Apex Legends catapulted to stardom. However, DDoS attacks constantly plague the Titanfall experience and a group of hackers took it upon themselves to make Respawn more aware of the issue.
Nobody wants to hear devs complain when DDoS attacks are still a problem we haven't solved. But this article is right.

I was holding my newborn nephew when I found out about the Apex hack. Had to hand him back, go work, and miss out on a day with family.https://t.co/i3sZkrZ760
Apex Legends was down for a number of players this past weekend, but Respawn’s Director of Communications, Ryan Rigney, has assured the community that there were no detriments and that the hackers ultimately “achieved nothing of value.” When loading into the main lobby of Apex Legends, players were greeted with a message that read, “TF1 is being attacked so is Apex.” These threats replaced the normal game modes making the battle royale virtually unplayable. And anyone who could somehow manage to get into a match, was met with a line of text that said to “visit and repost savetitanfall.com.” You can read the Twitter thread above.
In a series of response tweets, Rigney confirmed that the dev team has been working tirelessly to combat the DDoS situation that Titanfall players face, but matters like these are never easy to remedy, “The team has never stopped working on DDoS solutions, and anti-cheat is just a never-ending war of whack-a-mole. On the DDoS front, we WILL solve this. When we do, I promise you it won't be because hackers 'made us aware' by ruining a holiday.” In any case, Apex Legends is finally back to normal. This means players can dive (quite literally) into the latest Genesis Collection Event to grab new cosmetics and play on the vanilla versions of Kings Canyon and Worlds Edge.
Any Titanfall players out there that have been experiencing DDoS issues? Any Apex Legends players out there that were affected by the hack? Let us know your thoughts on the state of the situation in the comments below!

Destiny 2: The Witch Queen Reveal Date Set For Next Month
Written by Liana Ruppert 
Destiny 2: The Witch Queen and its release date will be fully revealed next month, which is great considering Season of the Splicer is absolutely driving me insane with where the heck the story is going to go next. With Osiris being suspicious as all heck and Lakshmi being ... well, Lakshmi, things in the Last City are far from calm and with the blight taking over the Tower? It's far from over. We're getting ready to take the fight to Savathum it seems. But are we really?
Bungie took to the Destiny 2 Twitter account to announce when fans can get their first look at the upcoming expansion, the follow up to the current storyline being told in Beyond Light. The showcase is set to go live on August 24, with our first look at expansion artwork below:

With previous concept art being shared having the community thoroughly convinced that we're going to Old Chicago, what's next for the space shooter is anyone's guess. We know that Savathun has assumed the identity of a person in the Last City, but we don't explicitly know who yet. I have my suspicions though. Bookmark this, dear reader, and place your bets because I will eat all sorts of hats if I'm wrong, but I think we'll find out that Osiris is actually Savathun. What that could possibly mean for the story (if I'm right) and what role the Guardian will have in conjunction with the Witch Queen is anyone's guess, but homeboy is acting way too sus to ignore.
While we await the Witch Queen showcase, Bungie did open up more about what we can expect from the upcoming expansion previously when the studio announced that the DLC was delayed:
The Witch Queen represents an important evolution in the ongoing story of Destiny 2. Beyond Light built the foundation and allowed us to weave the world-building of Destiny and Destiny 2 together, but The Witch Queen will light the fire on a strongly interconnected narrative across Lightfall and beyond, unlike anything we’ve ever attempted before, with characters, arcs, heroes and villains that persist over multiple future releases. Even more importantly, the conclusion of these releases will also conclude the “Light and Darkness Saga,” the conflict we first introduced with the launch of Destiny many years ago. As we’ve been developing The Witch Queen, we realized that we needed this release to be the first of many moments crucial to the story of Destiny. With so much leading to and dependent on what happens in The Witch Queen, we wanted to make sure that we gave ourselves enough time to build out this journey in the right way, starting with an exceptional first chapter.
We don't have an exact time yet, but that will come closer to the event itself, but you can add to your calendar "See what the heck is going on in Destiny" for the August 24 date.
You've heard my theories, let me hear yours! Where do you think the Witch Queen will take us in Destiny 2? Who do you think Savathun is masquerading as? Sound off with your thoughts in the comment section below. Crow would want you to.
Genshin Impact 2.0 Reveal Stream Airing This Friday
Written by Marcus Stewart 
Genshin Impact update 2.0 will be revealed in an upcoming stream this Friday, July 9. Despite the numbering, this is the direct follow-up to the 1.6 update that went live last month. The announcement will confirm or deny the leaks and rumors surrounding the update’s content, which suggests that fans could be some major additions.
There’s no official word on what the stream will showcase but the biggest leak points to the introduction of the lnazuma region to the game. Other reports suggest that cross-saving across all platforms is also incoming, a feature currently available between PC and mobile only. Take all of that with a few grains of salt because, again, nothing has been confirmed officially, though it’s probably safe to expect some quality-of-life additions in the general sense. In terms of things we do know about, the Switch version of Genshin Impact is currently in the works (and was recently delayed). There’s a decent chance we could get an update on its status as well.
According to the Genshin Impact Twitter account, you’ll have to tune into their official Twitch channel to watch the presentation. Those of us in the States will need to set an early alarm because the stream begins at 5 a.m. Pacific/8 a.m. Eastern. If you can’t watch it live, the video will be uploaded to the game’s YouTube channel at 9 a.m. Pacific/12 p.m. Eastern.
2021 has been a busy year for Genshin Impact thanks to numerous updates that have brought a ton of content into the free-to-play game. These have included various in-game events, the addition of player housing, the launch of an enhanced PlayStation 5 version, and, of course, a bunch of new characters to spend precious primogems on. The game doesn’t appear to be slowing down anytime soon, which is probably good news given that it’s proven to be a quality experience and one of our favorite games when it launched last year.
Genshin Impact is available now for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, PC, iOS, and Android.
What do you think Genshin Impact 2.0 will entail and will you be watching the event? Let us know in the comments!
