  • Blizzard Is Working on Mobile Titles Across Multiple Franchises

    Blizzard Interactive is working on mobile titles across all of its intellectual properties, according to executive producer Allen Adham.

    During a Q&A session (via Reddit), Adham said, “In terms of Blizzard’s approach to mobile gaming, many of us over the last few years have shifted from playing primarily desktop to playing many hours on mobile. We have many of our best developers now working on new mobile titles across all of our IPs.

    “Some of them are with external partners like with Diablo: Immortal. Many of them are being developed internally only, and we’ll have information to share on those in the future. I will say also that we have more new products in development today at Blizzard than we’ve ever had in our history, and our future is very bright.”

    Rock Band 4 Owners Can Play Rivals Expansion for Free Until November 14

    If you consider yourself a fan of music, you owe it to yourself to check out Rock Band 4 this week. Starting at 11:00 p.m. PDT on Tuesday, November 6 and running to 8:59 p.m. PDT on Wednesday, November 14, everyone who owns RB4 will have a week of free access to the Rivals expansion.

    That gives you access to Rockudrama, the hilarious campaign that sets you as the star of your very own live-action rock documentary, 44 free songs exclusive to the Rivals expansion, online Quickplay, and the eponymous Rivals mode, which is where the heart of the action is.

    As an added bonus for Rock Band 4 players, we’ll run a special one-week challenge that showcases the spirit of Rivals and awards an exclusive track skin to everyone who participates.

    Rock Band Rivals We Elect to Rock Challenge

    Rock Band Rivals We Elect to Rock Challenge

    For those of you who haven’t played in a while, or have been curious about the Rivals expansion, now’s a great time to check out all the cool stuff it adds to the Rock Band 4 experience!

    If you are curious about Rivals mode; here’s a quick overview:

    Crews: Rivals mode pits groups of up to 10 players against other Crews. A Crew’s collective contribution over the course of the weekly challenge will determine whether they are promoted or not.

    Rewards: Rivals mode provides unique rewards to players based on where they finish the season – from wild character assets to exclusive track skin designs.

    Challenges: Each week, the team at Harmonix sets up a unique weekly challenge that asks the Rock Band community to compete against each other using a subset of the Rock Band 4 music catalog. Think of it as a themed playlist – one week may focus on metal songs, while another week may focus on easy songs, or songs with the word rock in them.

    Seasons: Challenges are grouped into a Season. Seasons generally last for 8 weeks. Over that time, Crews will be promoted to new tiers based on their play.  Each promotion tier offers an exclusive reward. Get as far as you can each season to collect everything!

    Season 9 will start on November 29, right after Thanksgiving – get your Crew together now and join the fun!

    New Features:

    Family Settings

    • Children signing up for new accounts will now be asked to add a parent only if required to by local privacy regulations (e.g., GDPR or COPPA). This means that some minors, like teens in the U.S., will no longer have to add a parent and join a Microsoft family during signup. Xbox privacy and online safety defaults will still be applied based on age, and in order to change those, the minor would need to add a parent on Xbox who can then change their settings. Minors not in a family can add a parent anytime in Settings > Account > Family settings > Add a parent. Joining a family would also allow the parent and child to use other family features like content restrictions, screen time, activity reporting, and spending.
    • Children that are subject to local privacy regulations will still be required to add a parent during signup. While this will create a Microsoft family through which the parent can use family features like content restrictions, screen time, activity reporting, and spending, the parent will no longer be required to sign in on Xbox. If a parent wants to change their child’s Xbox privacy and online safety settings, the parent can sign in separately on Xbox and manage their family in Settings > Account > Family settings.
    • Existing child accounts are not affected by this change and will remain with their parents in their current Microsoft family.

    Mouse & Keyboard Support

    • We have enabled mouse support in this release.  Please check out the Quest in the Xbox Insider Hub to experience mouse and keyboard support in Warframe.

    Search Enhancements

    • The search function has been enhanced across the console and will now return responses from the Xbox Assist application for example to help with help, support and troubleshooting.  Please check out the Quest in the Xbox Insider Hub to help us gather feedback.

    Fixes:

    Achievements

    • Fixed an issue where achievements may not appear correctly in guide.

    System – General

    • General performance enhancements.
    • Stability fixes to the platform.

    Known Issues:

    Audio

    • We are tracking audio issues in which some games have audio that cuts in and out.

    Profile Color

    • Sometimes users may encounter the incorrect Profile color when powering on the console.
