Mid Week News: Leaking All Over The Place

...We're going to need a plumber.

It's Wednesday, and that means we've still got two days until the weekend. However, given what we've seen happen already this week, this could be a busy weekend. Quite a few of games are getting teased and leaked right now, so here's a few of the big ones.

Black Ops 2 Info Coming May?



Kotaku obtained a picture of a poster today that hints at the first details of the next Call of Duty title possibly coming on May 2nd. While the next Call of Duty title hasn't been confirmed to be a follow up to Black Ops, Activision recently acquired the blackops2.com domain name, and an Amazon listing in France had the game listed. The poster also looks somewhat similar to the cover art from Black Ops, though it's too blurry to be sure.


Turns Out Bethesda Doesn't Just Make Elder Scrolls



A few days ago, a screenshot surfaced from Bethesda surfaced with the caption "Tomorrow." Many immediately thought the screenshot was referring to upcoming DLC for Elder Scrolls V. Turns out, as Bethesda public relations man Pete Hines put it, "We (Bethesda) do make other games." Instead we got our first trailer of Dishonored. Make no mistake though, this game is shaping up to be one of the premier titles of 2012. The game is set in a massive steampunk-style city called Dunwall, and the gameplay is stealth-based action goodness. Defiantly have this game on your radar.


Halo 4 Dropping on Election Day/ First Gameplay Footage On Conan



343 Studious has announced that Halo 4 will be releasing on November 6th, 2012. For those of us in the US, that is better known as election day. I have a feeling quite a few votes will be left uncast because of this decision. Also yesterday evening, the first look at gameplay from Halo 4 was on Conan O'Brian. It lasted all of nine seconds and didn't really show off the game in any significant way, but still it's something. Am I the only one that wouldn't want Conan's voice as my Spartan's?


Crysis 3 Announced



After being accidentally leaked by EA's Origin service last week, EA has now officially announced Crysis 3. The game will once again be set in New York City, although you might not recognize it. Through the power of the Cell Corporation Nanodrome, New York City has been transformed into a city covered in rainforest, swamp, and other various types of environments that are segmented into seven distinct areas. Oh, and you'll also be able to use a bow. The game is set for release sometime in 2013, but you can already preorder the game through Origin. EA even has preorder bonuses lined up! Oh joy!


Thats all the news I've got for now. I'd also like to say whoever made that Best Buy photoshop picture about Half-Life 2: Episode 3 is incurring a lot of wrath around the web right now. What did you think was going to happen? Silly troll...
