No, that’s not a typo. Welcome to the Weekly Warp-Up, your weekly wrap-up of the biggest and the best articles posted at Warp Zoned this week…
Europe’s biggest gaming convention, Gamescom, begins next week and publishers the world over are preparing for the show. 2K Games confirmed that Evolve will be at the show… and then promptly delayed its release to February.

And Activision is bringing back the Sierra publishing label. Sure, why not?
