Forza Horizon 3 Introducing Weekly Challenges
Forza Horizon 3 will introduce Forzathon, a new weekly competitions feature that will begin in October.
Speaking to IGN at Gamescom today, Playground Games creative director Ralph Fulton explained that the game will include a calendar of challenges at least a month in advance. Currently, rewards include a comedy horn pack and a Nissan Silvia S14 unlock.
Most intriguingly, from October 28-30, Fulton says players will be able to unlock a "literally incredible vehicle" that's not previously been driveable in the Forza series.
Forzathon competitions can be single-day or multi-day, and many of the rewards offered will be available only through completion of the challenge (although Fulton was keen to stress that popular rewards would be re-used in multiple events).

Oxenfree Dev Debuts New Mr. Robot Mobile Game
A new Mr. Robot mobile game, developed by Oxenfree’s Night School Studio and published by Telltale Games, is now available for iOS and Android devices.
Mr. Robot: 1.51exfiltrati0n (as written in the titling style of the show's episodes) is set in the world of the USA Network series, specifically ahead of a major turning point in the first season. The game is initially presented as the player picking up a phone that actually belongs to the hacker group at the heart of the show, fsociety.
1.51exfiltrati0n then takes players into the E Corp Messaging App, a chat client throughout which players will communicate with a cast of characters, including some familiar ones from the show, via texting in order to recover data that fsociety needs to hack Evil Corp.
Ubisoft Reveals New Multiplayer Mode for Watch Dogs 2
Ubisoft has revealed a new mode, Bounty Hunter, for upcoming Watch Dogs 2.
This new "online component" links into Watch Dogs' "police heat" system. If your activities have brought a little too much attention onto yourself, you may trigger a Bounty Hunter PvP event that pits you against a rival team of up to three other players.
Alternatively, you can trigger a bounty yourself by using the Contacts app in Marcus' phone.
Ubisoft has also confirmed the return of Watch Dogs' Hacking Invasion - a mode in which you must stealthily acquire data from a target without detection - and detailed Online Co-op, a two-player exploration mode that enables you to team up for cooperative missions and check out the San Francisco Bay Area together.
Ubisoft Announces The Crew: Calling All Units Expansion
Ubisoft has announced the next expansion coming to The Crew, Calling All Units.
This is the second expansion for the driving MMO title and will be available from November 29 for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC.
Calling All Units is centred around the idea of Cops versus Robbers. The expansion introduces “brand-new police versus racer gameplay” and features a 12-mission story that lets players build up their own “cop style and tactics.”
As well as a level cap increase to 60, the expansion offers up new vehicles and parts – from indestructible cop SUVs to “exotic” supercars and motorbikes. Playing as cop means chasing down racers and performing arrests, while ripping up the tarmac as a street racer sees players transporting cargo for high rewards. Cop chases can be triggered at anytime, anywhere thanks to the game’s MMO environment.
Ubisoft’s Steep Release Date Revealed
Ubisoft’s alpine explorer Steep will release on December 2 for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.
Also revealed at this year’s Gamescom was Steep’s Gold Edition, which comes bundled with the game’s season pass. According to Ubisoft, the season pass includes all expansions and digital content, outfits, equipment, and an exclusive costume.
Anyone who pre-orders either the Standard Edition or Gold Edition will receive The Moonlight Pack, which offers three extra night challenges three new night outfits, glowing equipment for activities, and a wingsuit rocket flare.
Ubisoft also says riders will be able to explore Alaska as part of a free, post-launch update.
Believe it or not, Steep is actually a by-product of the development of Ghost Recon: Wildlands. When it was first shown off at this year’s E3, Creative director Igor Manceau explained the game as an "open world action sports game designed with sharing in mind."

Dark Souls 3 teases New DLC
The first major slice of DLC for Dark Souls 3 will be announced on August 24.
The team behind the fist-bitingly difficult action-RPG took to Twitter to tease that "huge news is on the way," directly addressing the community of Dark Souls players known as "Ashen Ones."
Huge news on the way, folks. 'What is it?" You ask? Well, you're going to have to wait to find out. pic.twitter.com/ivrzL0Z7N3

The tweet was first spotted by Gamespot, and while Bandai Namco has not officially said that the "major announcement" will be DLC, it was previously suggested that the game's first piece of DLC would be unwrapped this fall.
Konami Announces Metal Gear Survive
IGN can exclusively reveal Metal Gear Survive, a four-player stealth co-op game set within the Metal Gear universe, due for release on Xbox One, PS4 and PC in 2017.
Set directly after the events of Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes, Survive sees the members of Militaires Sans Frontières not killed in that game’s finale transported through wormholes into an alternate universe, where they’re forced to battle a force of crystalline zombies and, it seems, at least one Metal Gear itself.
Watch the trailer now:
“Metal Gear Survive will offer a fresh take on the series’ famed stealth elements,” said Konami European president, Tomotada Tashiro in a press release, “but within a unique co-op setting that is designed for a truly engrossing multiplayer experience.”
