On July 6, Ubisoft revealed an update on the development of ‘The Division: Resurgence’, the next entry in the Tom Clancy universe. Games in the Tom Clancy franchise indeed give the community an open world experience alongside some satisfying shooter experience. Resurgence brings out the hype on the table with its release to take the community by storm.

Resurgence will release on the mobile platforms and not on PC or a Console which gears up the fact that Mobile Gaming will receive a new competitor. Resurgence will be the first title in the Tom Clancy : The Division series to be released on the Mobile Platforms. iOS and Android users would be the first ones to lay their hands over this new title as the latter would soon enter its Alpha testing face and towards its potential launch in 2023.

Players can now sign-up for its Alpha Testing phase to eliminate any sorts of bugs or glitches in the game to make it launch-ready on the D-day. 

The exact release date of Resurgence is yet to be announced by Ubisoft as the French video game company plans for a 2023 release. This will be the first time players would experience the Tom Clancy franchise experience on a hand-held device rather than playing it on a PC or a Console until now. 

Popular YouTube group Sidemen is back with their football charity match after 2 years of hiatus due to COVID 19. The highly anticipated match of football will incorporate some big names under the All Star banner who will take on the Sidemen crew from where the proceedings will go to the charity.

Now that the world is in a better place than it was in the past two years, it is safer than before to host the match in an open ground. Over the years, the charity match has produced some of the funny moments turned memories now and with the gang back together, we are set for another thrilling year.

When will the Sidemen Charity Match 2022 take place?

Even though the match for 2022 has been confirmed but no credible news on when it is supposed to take place but it will definitely be sometime sooner than later, likely late in the third quarter.

Where will the Sidemen Charity Match 2022 be held? 

For the past two years, the Sidemen Charity Match has been taking place in the Valley Stadium in London. It can be presumed that the venue that can hold a crowd upto 15000 would be booked yet again for 2022.

How to watch the Sidemen Charity Match 2022 match

The match, like every year will be livestreamed on the official Sidemen channel on YouTube, and fans will have every opportunity to donate to a good cause.

Game subscription services have gained in popularity over the past few years. This subscription model has really taken off in the past few months. With the release of Xbox game pass, everyone has seen its true potential and how it can be an economical solution for gamers and developers.

With monthly rentals at an extreme low price, owning the pass lets the gamers access to the game for an entire month, where most games aren’t that exciting but a few of them are the real AAA titles that would have really hurt our pockets to own completely. Given that a month would suffice most gamers to complete an average AAA story driven title at a leisurely pace.

Sony is known to charge significant amount for their exclusive titles but having a subscription based model would make a lot more people willing to get a PlayStation. Their business is heavily reliant on surcharging games to make up for the loss they incur with selling the hardware.

For the first month of PS Plus, the following games are lined up:

• Stray — Already a confirmed addition for July 2022
• Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade + Episode INTERmission
• Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag
• Assassin’s Creed Unity
• Assassin’s Creed: Freedom Cry
• Assassin’s Creed: The Ezio Collection
• Saints Row IV: Re-Elected

However this is a leak from a not so reliable source which makes it sketchy at best. If it turns out to be true then AC fans are in for a treat now that some of the most well received AC titles are on the line.

Subscription services are often criticized to not bring acclaimed titles but if Sony continues to deliver 2-3 AAA titles every month, then it will be worth every penny.

TikTok star Bella Poarch single ‘Build A B*tch’ has turned some heads when it dropped but we were deprived of a music video of her new song, until today. ‘Dolls’ as she has named it, is the music video for her single featuring some of internet’s biggest celebrities.

Her first song was a sensation, racking up over 400 million views on YouTube, not to mention the millions of features across TikTok and reels on Instagram and Facebook. Her latest song ‘Dolls’ is making it was to follow up on the success of its predecessor.

What has called for more attention is that, her new music video features more than one internet personality, with Dream, Valkyrae, Ludwig and more as opposed her last video which only had Rae in it.

The music video builds on the storyline set by her previous song ‘Build A B****’ where she managed to escape from the factory where she was built. The new video finds Bella on a journey to track down those responsible for the factories along with her friends who happen to be internet personalities themselves.

Overall, the song as well as the video is extremely well received by the community which makes it safe to assume that this video will reach the same heights of success as its predecessor did.

One of the most prominent esports organisation in the world 100 Thieves has dropped over a dozen employees working across their social media, content and general staff for what looks like a organisation wide downsizing.

Speculations arose that more employees are on their way out of the org but nothing can be confirmed as of now. These employees were a mix of both fresh recruits and old guards and its fair to say a lot of people were caught off guard with this sudden downsizing.

Mike Aranksy was one of the big names who were laid off, having spent 4 years with the organisation. Almost all employees thanked the org for their time and experience there but none of them states the reason behind this mass layoff.

“From being a fan for years to working at the company and meeting amazing people, it’s been an absolute pleasure,” former editor Alec Daughtry said.

“I am so grateful for this opportunity and for the chance to meet such amazing people,” “I’ll truly never forget the special moments I shared with this team.” former 100 Thieves thumbnail designer Damian said.

100 Thieves were ranked the 2nd most valuable esports organisation in the world which makes this layoff questionable if it was for economic reasons. However, this news comes following the lay-off by TSM, indicating worrying times for the esports industry.

Renowned esports organization Team SoloMid (TSM) has been fined $75,00 by Riot Games following an investigation by the video game company on allegations against TSM CEO Andy ‘Reginald’ Dinh for disparaging and bullying behavior. Reginald has also been subjected to a two-year probation by Riot Games on account of the same allegations.

Following the investigation, the company claims to have found evidence of verbal abuse which goes in direct violation of the LCS rules on Harassment and Profanity & Hate Speech.

Reginald was fined three times the maximum fine due to the fact that his abuse and misconduct was stretched over multiple years.

“The League believes that there was a pattern and practice of disparaging and bullying behavior exhibited by Andy Dinh towards TSM players and staff members,” Riot said in a statement.

The punishment follows the investigation by Riot Games that initially began in November 2021, with involvement from the Legends Championship Series and alongside an independent law firm.

During the two year probationary period of Reginald, all TSM staff members and employees will have access to an anonymous tip line through which they can report potential instances of abusive conduct by the TSM CEO.

“In addition, through the Players’ Association, the monitor will check in with current TSM League of Legends players and report any potential rule violations to the League for follow-up,” the statement reads. “TSM will be required to provide notice, in a form provided by the League, to all existing TSM players and staff, and any new hires during the probation period, explaining the existence and purpose of the tip line.”

Furthermore, Riot has also ordered Reginald to complete sensitivity training and executive coaching from a provider approved by the LCS and unaffiliated with TSM. He will also have to provide evidence of the same within sixty days.
