No Man’s Sky Vinyl Soundtrack is Coming Back for a Second Run
The vinyl version of “No Man’s Sky: Music for an Infinite Universe” is currently taking pre-orders for a reissue of the companion album.
The album, composed and performed by instrumental electronic/post-rock outfit 65daysofstatic, is a two-disc encapsulation of most of the music you’ll hear in the procedurally generated universe exploration game. There’s singles like “Supermoon,” which typically play as a player enters one of the giant pyramid-like space stations, and the second disc features more longform ambient tracks like “Outlier,” which typically play while the player is exploring the surface of a planet.

2020 Call of Duty Now Reportedly Being Developed by Black Ops’ Treyarch
According to a report from Kotaku, Activision has informed developers at Sledgehammer Games and Raven that both studios will no longer be in charge of the Call of Duty game scheduled for 2020.
Instead, Treyarch, who last developed 2018's Call of Duty: Black Ops 4, will reportedly be taking over and leading development on a new Black Ops game for next year – Black Ops 5.
Raven and Sledgehammer were originally supposed to lead the development of the 2020 Call of Duty, and according to Kotaku, the plan was to set its story mode during the Cold War. Conveniently enough, Kotaku reports that Treyarch is also setting its story mode for Black Ops 5 during the Cold War.

Some World of Warcraft Classic ‘Bugs’ Actually Features, Blizzard Says
World of Warcraft Classic is Blizzard’s attempt to bring back the spirit of its early glory days. That’s not because its suffering (not more so than any other modern MMO), but because the land of Azeroth and how people play around in it has changed so much in the 15 years since launch. That said, a part of the charm included a few “bugs” or “features” that even more experienced players may have forgotten about.
It looks like Blizzard anticipated a bit of head-scratching over it all from beta players, and clarified things in a forum post, first reported by Eurogamer.
