News
Helldivers 2 gets the Scope of Authority Warbond
Helldivers 2's new Scope of Authority Premium Warbond lands October 20, built around long range and stealth play. It's got five new guns: the R-40 Sightliner sniper rifle, the P-44 Mist machine pistol, the AMW-20 Apex anti-materiel rifle, the LAS-44 Nova energy rifle and the G-11 Caltrops grenade. Two armour sets come with it too, both running the Stationary Shroud passive, plus capes, player cards, an emote and a "Longshot" title. You'll still need the base game, Super Credits and some progression to unlock the lot.

Call of Duty: Mobile gets a Modern Warfare 4 pre-order blueprint
Xbox Wire's flagging a new weapon blueprint, Shattered Relay, up for grabs in Call of Duty: Mobile. It's a pre-order bonus tied to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4, so it comes with ordering the new game rather than being something you can buy on its own.

Colorbound tells a Chilean family story through colour and music
Colorbound is Panpipe Studio's new puzzle platformer, out through Whitethorn Games, and it runs on colour mechanics: heavier colours drop, lighter ones float, and mixing them opens up the way forward. You play Anku, a boy in the mountains of Chile, who sets out with his late grandfather's panpipe to track down the rest of his old band after he passes away. It draws on Aymara culture from the Andes, with the panpipe, the zampoña, as both a collectible and the heart of the story, all wrapped in a pastel watercolour look.
