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…
The 2014 E3 Expo is approaching, so it’s rather fitting that most of this week’s big news concerns bigger news we’ll be told about at the video game industry’s biggest showcase. For example, did you hear that Take-Two will release Evolve on October 21? Or that Metro Redux will be available this Summer? We will no doubt learn more about both games at the E3 Expo, as both will be on display during the big show. As will at least five titles from Ubisoft (Assassin’s Creed: Unity, Far Cry 4, The Crew, and more).
Even this week’s episode of Continue Countdown couldn’t get away from the E3 talk. If you’re interested in listening to the Warp Zoned staff debate Microsoft’s plans for the Xbox One (including Halo 5 and Sunset Overdrive), then this is the show for you.
More news from this past week can be found after the break.
