Spoiler Warning: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare has been continuing on the story from its campaign through its multiplayer modes, and it’s gone in some surprising directions. The biggest reveal so far has been that Alex, who we last saw in the campaign preparing to sacrifice himself to explode a facility, is still alive.

But while this might make it seem like Infinity Ward is trying to wrap up all the game’s loose ends, a tweet from narrative director Taylor Kurosaki suggests that the series won’t be done with Alex by the time a sequel arrives. Responding to a user who said that he wished Alex would be brought back for the sequel, Kurosaki responded “who says we won’t?”

This isn’t the first time Kurosaki has suggested that there’s more to explore in a sequel, and it could still, ultimately, not mean anything–a Modern Warfare follow-up has not been announced yet. But it feels more likely than ever, particularly since Modern Warfare sold so well.

Aside from the Black Ops series, the Call of Duty series has not produced a sequel in some time, with Ghosts, Advanced Warfare, Infinite Warfare, and WW2 all being original stories (and Modern Warfare sitting somewhere between a reboot and a prequel). The Modern Warfare series is the most celebrated Call of Duty sub-brand, though, so it would make sense for Infinity Ward to stick with it.

Call of Duty: Warzone players continue to impress with their skill and creativity on the battlefield. The latest example comes from Reddit user u/drulander, who recently posted a video of an epic sequence that looks like something straight out of a Michael Bay action movie.

In the video, u/drulander gets into a firefight on a rooftop, landing some shots on an enemy but not enough to take them down. The slippery opponent jumps off the building, and u/drulander is quick to follow as part of a daring, high-stakes move. It all works out, as they nail the opponent in mid air before deploying their own parachute and landing safely. But it doesn’t end there.

Facebook has announced plans to release a new app focused on gaming, The New York Times has reported. The app was originally meant to be released in June, but has been pushed up, and will now be available on April 20 on Android phones.

The new app, Facebook Gaming, is aimed at the 700 million monthly Facebook users who have engaged with the network’s game content. The app will have a big focus on streamers, whether you’re watching them or streaming content yourself, thanks to a “Go Live” feature that will make it easy to stream mobile games. It will also let you play Facebook games like Words with Friends and Uno through the app.

The app will also allow users to access gaming communities and groups, so if you’re mostly using Facebook to keep up with your Animal Crossing turnip trading groups, it could be a good alternative to the main app. An iOS version will also be released at a later date once it has been approved by Apple.

Here’s some good news for fans of artful indie platformers–one of the best of the last few years, Gris, has done extremely well for itself. Developer Nomada Studios has revealed that the game, available now on Switch, PC, mobile, and PS4, has sold an incredible 1 million copies.

The studio announced this achievement on Twitter, thanking everyone on the team, their families, and publisher Devolver Digital for helping Gris achieve this success. A new piece of artwork was included to commerate the milestone.

The game launched for Switch and PC in December 2018, before hitting iOS in August 2019 and PlayStation 4 in November. It earned rave reviews at launch, including GameSpot’s own 9/10 review.

Gris is a puzzle platformer that deals with themes of grief, loneliness, and pushing on through dark times. It’s also absolutely gorgeous, thanks to its painterly art style.

The game is currently discounted by 50% on Steam as part of Devolver’s weekend sale, but hurry–the sale ends April 20. It’s also available as part of Xbox Game Pass for PC.
