Modern Warfare 4 shows DMZ extraction in action, arriving October 23 behind a full-game paywall

Infinity Ward released DMZ gameplay footage on June 7, confirming the reworked extraction mode ships inside Modern Warfare 4 on October 23. Unlike the original DMZ in Modern Warfare II, which was free to play, this version requires purchasing MW4. The mode features dynamic weather, a notoriety bounty system that raises the price on your head after repeated kills, narrative story missions, and session-to-session loot progression. It launches on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PC, and Nintendo Switch 2.

ARC Raiders tests a PvE-only extraction mode in China with friendly fire off by default

Embark Studios is running a China-exclusive regional beta of "Rebellion Incident," a PvE configuration of ARC Raiders where friendly fire between players defaults to zero. Players can trigger a mutiny deliberately with a key press to unlock PvP, but the mode cranks up AI robot threat density to push squads toward cooperation instead. The test is tied to the Chinese ISBN licence ARC Raiders secured to operate in the country. ARC Raiders has passed 16 million copies sold globally. No Western release date for Rebellion has been confirmed.

Bungie will cut significant staff after Destiny 2 ends, everything bets on Marathon

Jason Schreier reported that Bungie plans to lay off a significant number of its roughly 850 employees once Monument of Triumph ships June 9. Destiny 3 is not in production and has no greenlight. Remaining staff will be directed toward Marathon, which missed sales expectations at launch and opened a free play week to recover player numbers. Bungie has shed hundreds of employees since Sony's $3.6 billion acquisition in 2022. The exact number of roles being cut has not been made public.
