BioWare's Anthem was the fifth top-selling game in North America of 2019 up until the end of August. Sales of the troubled game came in at fifth place after Mortal Kombat 11, Kingdom Hearts 3, Madden NFL 20, and Tom Clancy's The Division 2, according to statistics from the NPD Group via industry analyst Mat Piscatella. And that's likely to surprise many. It’s no secret that Anthem didn’t get the love that EA and BioWare hoped it would.

Bloodborne is full of secrets, and this one is an absolute doozy you won't want to miss. Bloodborne has a number of hidden area, but one, the Abandoned Old Workshop, is really worth a visit. It invites all sorts of speculation about the story and characters as well as providing treasure you can't find anywhere else. I don't want to spoil it, so let's just talk about how to get there.

Aliens: Fireteam Elite – the co-op shooter from Cold Iron that launched earlier this year – is already on its way to Xbox Game Pass. After the title launched back in August this year, we heard from critics that it was OK – but that's a pretty good thing by games in the Alien franchise standards, right? You can check out the Alien Fireteam Elite reviews round-up at the link.

Another week, another surprise launch on Xbox Game Pass! This time, it's Serious Sam 4 from Croteam and Devolver Digital. You'll play as the last remaining resistance to an extra-terrestrial invasion, leading the Earth Defence Force as Sam “Serious” Stone and his heavily-armed squad of misfit commandos. The game is a day one launch on Game Pass, arriving without that much fanfare, but then neither did some of Xbox Game Pass's most recent arrivals either (most notably Townscaper and Generation Zero).

A sequel to Adult Swim's endless runner Robot Unicorn Attack has launched in New Zealand in the lead up to a North American release. The sequel is available for iOS devices and features two worlds, 12 boost abilities, unicorn customisation options in the form of bodies, manes, wings and more. Thanks to Polygon, which reports you can also add background music, including Erasure's "Always" from the first game. Touch Arcade goes into more detail on the game, adding that the modifications to the unicorns not only improves the visuals but also improves dashing, jumping and more in gameplay.

Update: Session has added Skate-like controls with the latest Update 0.0.0.3 and given an tentative release period for the Xbox One version of the game. Those hoping for solid Xbox news will be disappointed. While Crea-ture Studios has a partner for the Xbox port - Illogika will be handling duties - it's still only pegged as a "spring" release. The better news is that Session now supports a new control system similar to EA's venerable Skate franchise.

Assassin's Creed Origins hasn't quite escaped Ubisoft's kitchen sink approach. Assassin's Creed Origins doesn't have a multiplayer mode, director Ashraf Ismail has confirmed. The news came via an episode of YouTube's E3 Coliseum coverage devoted to Assassin's Creed Origins, and isn't much of a surprise; Black Flag was the last Assassin's Creed game to have competitive multiplayer, and Unity's co-op did not return for the better-received Syndicate. Why read when you can watch?

If you want more Avengers, the Black Panther War for Wakanda expansion will delight. If you want something different, well, tough luck. The addition of Black Panther and the War for Wakanda expansion pack is what Marvel’s Avengers needs. After a rocky launch and an initially pacy stream of updates, things have slowed. The developers have put out tiny XP and balance tweaks, but there’s been nothing new for fans to sink their teeth into.

Crytek's just released the first footage of Crysis 2 running on PS3. Until now, the only footage that has appeared of the game has come from either the 360 or PC versions. Watch it below. The end of the video also confirms that a mutltiplayer beta is on the way for the system. To date, it was only previously available for PC and 360. A PS3 beta was hinted at earlier this week, though, by producer Nathan Camarillo.

Screenwriter Gary Whitta is impressed with God of War art director Raf Grassetti's hyper-realistic Star Fox designs. Grassetti has been sharing some of his Star Fox redesigns over Instagram this month, re-imagining characters from the classic Nintendo arcade game as highly detailed, realistic humanoid animals. And it has piqued the interest of the Rogue One: A Star Wars Story writer. Retweeting one of Grassetti’s pictures, Whitta - a long-time gamer and former game journalist - declared over Twitter: “I want to write this animated movie”:
