Activision Blizzard continues to feel the effects of California’s lawsuit over sexual harassment and a toxic workplace culture as more top-level employees leave the company.

To make matters worse, the U.S. The Securities and Exchange Commission is now investigating Activision Blizzard as well. This comes as Activision Blizzard releases Diablo II Resurrection and ramps up marketing for the launch of Call of Duty Vanguard in November.

In other news; Deathloop developers, Arkane Studios, has developed a patch to fix stuttering issues that PC players were facing at launch, Valve is working on new cloud features, Apple has blacklisted Fortnite again, and a new PS4 firmware update fixes a fatal issue that could brick a ton of consoles.

This week’s 5 Second Review tackles the best way to pronounce Kena: Bridge of Spirits and the Coming Soon section has a truckload of titles that you might not want to miss.

Have a great weekend everyone and thanks for watching!
