Publisher Kalypso Media and developer Claymore Game Studios are dispatching the Commandos on their next mission: Shadows over Crete, the first DLC for the real-time tactics stealth game Commandos: Origins, will release on November 18, 2025. In this new campaign, players will face the aftermath of Operation Mercury, the infamous German airborne invasion of Crete during World War II.
In May 1941, Nazi Germany launched the largest airborne operation in history, unleashing paratroopers across the sun-drenched island and plunging the Mediterranean into chaos. In the wake of this devastating defeat for Allied forces, the legendary Commandos are sent behind enemy lines with a desperate mission: forge an alliance with the fearless Cretan resistance, led by the fierce and loyal Eleni Andris, and ignite a campaign of sabotage, espionage, and guerrilla warfare against the occupying forces.
The new, self-contained narrative campaign spans four fully voiced missions, telling the story of the Cretan resistance and taking the Commandos squad from coastal villages and ancient ruins to a sprawling harbour city and even a fortified island inspired by Spinalonga. Facing them is a ruthless new enemy type: the ever-vigilant German Paratrooper units, who act as quick-response teams and descend suddenly onto the battlefield. They add a fresh tactical challenge, forcing players to adapt quickly and outsmart their foes with stealth and precision.
Commandos: Origins – Shadows over Crete deploys on November 18, 2025, on PC (Steam, Epic Games), Xbox on PC, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One and PlayStation®4|5 for $14.99.
Wargaming and AMC Networks announced today an apocalyptic crossover between the iconic television series The Walking Dead and World of Tanks. From November 6 until November 17 Battle Pass Special: The Walking Dead lets players recruit five fan-favorite characters from the series as crew members and earn exclusive themed rewards, including a custom H3 tank in a rugged 3D style, haunting 2D styles, thematic 3D attachments that transform vehicles into symbols of survival, and more.
Five legendary survivors await tank commanders ready to face chaos: the steadfast leader Rick Grimes, and the ruthless Savior Negan, both available with zero perks through the Chapter Progression. Three more can be unlocked in bundles: the sharp-eyed survivalist Daryl Dixon, the fierce warrior Michonne, and the manipulative tyrant, The Governor. These warriors of the wasteland bring their tenacious spirit to any tank crew and come with custom voiceovers, with The Walking Dead actor Norman Reedus voicing his legendary character, Daryl Dixon.
The Battle Pass Special: The Walking Dead features the perfect tank to plow through the dangers of this deadly new world – the H3, wrapped in its threatening “No Sanctuary” 3D Style. The H3 was built to strike fear as it rolls onto the battlefield, with its worn and weathered exterior covered with wire mesh, chain-link fencing, and barbed wire for added menace. On closer inspection, players will notice the tank is filled with signature items from the series, including Daryl’s motorcycle and crossbow, Negan’s bat, “Lucille,” Michonne’s katana, and Rick’s sheriff’s hat.
To truly own the apocalyptic battlefield, players can outfit their vehicles with a collection of The Walking Dead-themed decals, inscriptions, and 3D attachments — each one a relic of survival from a world long gone. Among them is the “Walker Bait System,” echoing the tactics of survivors who used music and noise to lure or redirect the dead; the “Saviors’ Machine Gun,” marked by a scratched-in “Saviors” tag and wrapped in Negan’s iconic red scarf; and many more, each telling its own story from the apocalypse. All these 3D attachments can be mounted on a wide range of vehicles.
Stay sharp and hold the line, commanders, because the hordes won’t stop, but neither will we. Push through the chaos for rewards that are worth every round spent.

Wargaming, the developer and publisher of the leading historically accurate naval multiplayer game World of Warships, is setting out to sea with two jam-packed updates for players across PC, console and mobile. Headlining additions for PC, players can dive into a brand new, limited-time Temporal Rift event, brimming with dynamic gameplay and advanced warship technology, alongside plenty of Black Friday additions including a new fleet of ships and a two-pronged Event Pass. Meanwhile, for players on console and mobile, World of Warships: Legends introduces French alternate destroyers with new incendiary torpedoes that pick-up speed as they travel, Black Friday offers and ship variants, and the new four-week long Phantom of Sherwood campaign.
World of Warships brings a fractured timeline into the fray with Temporal Rift Event
Leading the latest World of Warships update is the addition of a Temporal Rift event, available until 11 December. Offering two new battle types–Shattered Time and Rift Watch–players will form teams of nine to battle against waves of bots on a massive map. To make gameplay more explosive than ever before, players will choose from a tailored selection of rental ships, equipped with evolving upgrades chosen by the player to reflect his favourite playstyle, a respawn mechanic, and Heavy Explosive shells and missiles to provide further fire power.
In Shattered Time, players will be challenged to push through enemy defenses and capture fortified bases, while Rift Watch sees the inverse as teams must defend their base and keep attackers at bay. Across the update, the battle types will be available sequentially, for two weeks each, before both go into rotation in the next update.
Black Friday also returns to Warships, bringing a new Event Pass, missions, the return of fan-favourite ships, and a new fleet: the tier X American cruiser and battleship Puerto Rico B and Rhode Island B, the tier IX Soviet destroyer Neustrashimy B, the tier IX Pan-European battleship Karl XIV Johan B and the tier VIII German cruiser Schill B. Available until 27 November, the Event Pass offers two themed progression lines packed with rewards, including up to two Commanders, 18 Containers and three Premium Containers. Black Friday combat missions have also arrived, with a new Black Friday Squadron feature that helps players track their missions’ eligibility based on pairs of original and Black Friday ships.
Finally, construction of Lüshun B in the Dockyard continues, alongside Liberty Harbor that gives out tier VIII cruiser Bridgeport, and the continuation of daily rewards from the ongoing 10th Anniversary: Grand Voyage event.
World of Warships: Legends sails into Black Friday with new ships and French alternate destroyers
Black Friday makes waves in the November update for World of Warships: Legends, introducing new black versions of Sims, Alabama, München, Graf Zeppelin, and Brisbane obtainable through new Black Friday ‘25 crates. The themed mission, campaign, and Brawl each give one free crate, though players can also obtain ships via the store, which will have special weekly offers and black ship bundles throughout the month.
New French Destroyers also set sail into Early Access in this month’s update, introducing new mechanics to the battlefield. Each ship in the line features special incendiary torpedoes that gain speed with distance, and have a higher chance to set on fire the further they travel. Ships can be found in special Early Access crates, several of which are obtainable from the new Phantom of Sherwood campaign, and each ship comes with its own personal mission, available until January 19, that rewards doubloons.
The Phantom of Sherwood campaign is here for four weeks, with eighty milestones to complete and rewards to obtain, including British Tier VII Premium cruiser Nottingham. Players can also collect ship parts in the second stage of the free marathon “Road to New Year” to receive Pan-European Tier VI Premium battleship Lugdunum in the unique icy skin, available from December 1 once the Christmas update launches.
