To celebrate the festive season, a new themed event has been added to Halo Infinite. This event will be based around the holiday season  and brings some new content to Halo Infinite. During Winter Contingency, players will be able to advance through a free battle pass and gain armour, weapon skins, and other cosmetics, similar to the Fracture: Tenrai event.

Winter Contingency Holiday Event in Halo Infinite

The event was announced yesterday in a Twitter post on the official Halo page.

Tomorrow, it's time for a deck the hall brawl.

The event, dubbed “Winter Contingency,” will run a little longer than Halo Infinite’s previous event, Fracture: Tenrai, which lasted only a week. The Winter Contingency will begin on December 21 and end on January 4, 2022.  The second week of the Fracture: Tenrai event is set to begin on January 4, 2022.

Players will be able to gain cosmetics by just playing a game each day. Moving through the game’s pass and collecting stuff that way should be easier because to Halo Infinite’s new challenge modifications, as discussed in a recent Halo Waypoint post.

A recent update for Halo Infinite insured that players will see more event challenges in their queue, in addition to removing or adjusting the complexity of a number of the game’s challenges. However, there will be a limited number of tasks for players to complete, so it’s possible that you might not be able to complete the entire pass.

Halo Infinite is available now for free to Game Pass Subscribers  across PC and Xbox consoles. Head over to the go2games website now to register your interest in Xbox Series X and receive stock updates!

The “Dragonspiral Descent” event, which introduces a new Pokémon from the Unova region, will be one of the first mini-events of the Season of Heritage in Pokémon GO. The Dragon-type Pokémon Druddigon, as well as its shiny variation, will make its introduction to Pokémon GO.

Druddigon and Unova’s Legendary Pokémon, Reshiram and Zekrom, will make appearances during the Season of Heritage’s Dragonspiral Descent event!

Dragonspiral Descent Introduces Druddigon to Pokémon GO!

Professor Willow uncovered a curious ancient gate on one of his travels in Pokémon GO as part of the ongoing plot. Thanks to the  trainers’ efforts on Swinub Incense Day, that gate has now been opened. The Dragonspiral Decent is a reference to the Dragonspiral Tower from the Pokémon Black/White games, which is home to either Reshiram or Zekrom.

During the event, these two Pokémon, as well as their shiny variations, can be found in Pokémon GO’s Five-Star Raids. The ancient gate’s opening has resulted in an influx of Fire, Electric, and Ice encounters in the game. Druddigon can be obtained by completing the Field Research Tasks linked with it. You can also catch Druddigon through 3-Star Raids.

Other Pokémon Available

The Dragonspiral Decent event will begin at 10 a.m. local time on December 7th and end at 8 p.m. local time on December 11th. Seel, Vulpix, Sneasel, Dratini, Mareep, Bltizle, Trapinch, Deino, and Fire-type Darumaka are among the other Pokémon that will appear in greater numbers during the event.

In addition, Dragonair and Vibrava will arrive in greater quantities. Players who catch all of the requisite Pokémon will receive 1000 XP and 3000 Stardust as part of an event-themed Collection Challenge. During this event, the Mega Evolution of Steelix will also be available.

Druddigon is a Dragon-type Pokémon, as its name suggests.  Rather than releasing them all at once, like they did for the first two regions, they are now being released in stages. Dedenne was just released in the Season of Mischief, and this technique turns it into an event with a long wait time. The Unova dex in Pokémon GO still has some gaps to complete, but it is gradually filling in.

Although there is a huge list of Pokémon with higher spawn rates for this event, there are no sources stating that the chances of finding shinies has increased. Players will have to either hope for higher odds to match the higher spawn rates, or resort to utilising incense to attract larger numbers of Pokémon. At this time, the Field Research assignments that will award Druddigon are likewise unknown.

Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl is available on Nintendo Switch now. Purchase it from our store! Read here for some in-game guides to help you out!

Pokémon Legends: Arceus will be released for Nintendo Switch on 28th January 2022 for Nintendo Switch.

This Saturday just gone, hundreds of trolls marched in World of Warcraft to raise money for the Trevor Project; a Pride event. The event was named The Running of the Trolls. Hosted on the Feathermoon-US server, trolls of all levels and classes marched for the project.

An amazing $500 was raised for the project, which supplies crisis and suicide prevention to LGBTQ+ young people. It wasn’t the goal that they were hoping for particularly, but at least they raised a fair amount for the charity. This sum is pretty commendable if you ask us!

Here are a couple of photos taken from the event on Saturday. We love it when gaming does it’s bit to help!

MCM Comic Con Midlands 2015

Go2Games’ first ever Comic Con and the first of many to come this year! Here’s the low-down!

Saturday 14th February 2015 marked Go2Games’ first ever MCM Comic Con, which was held in the Midlands at the International Centre, Telford. We arrived on Thursday evening and stayed in an incredible secluded cottage/mansion, which our team thoroughly enjoyed. It also felt like we were a part of a horror film whenever nightfall came, which was an added bonus!

Friday was set-up day and we spent the afternoon/evening erecting our grand, inflatable tent, our fantastic banner and filling the tent with all of our goodies ready for the following morning, whilst our lovely photographers (Patrick and Joe) filmed the whole process! Here’s a look at our tent on set-up day. Pardon the bags and boxes; we were still unpacking and setting up our lovely merchandise!

Here’s a shot of our most excellent banner which had been hung up just moments before!

Saturday morning gave an early start to the team as we arrived back at the venue, just before 8am, to give the finishing touches to our tent, merchandise, and costumes! An hour later saw one of the longest queues that I’ve probably ever seen, which was filled with such incredible cosplayers, all aching to get in to the nerve centre! Here are a few recognisable characters that I met along the way…

I was also ecstatic to meet some of my own kind along the way, and right outside our big old tent too! Does anyone recognise this marvellous man below too?…

I was very lucky to have a photo with Mark Meer, who voices the character Commander Shepard from the extremely popular franchise – Mass Effect. What a lovely guy he is too!

The whole day went extremely well. Excellent cosplay (the winners of the Cosplay Masquerade are featured at the very top of this piece), brilliant atmosphere, great customers and we all very much felt at home and in our element being surrounded by such wonderfully outrageous characters! As you can see, our tent was thoroughly enjoyed by all. Even the Star Wars clan!…

A brilliant day was had by all and we celebrated with a lovely meal made by our colleague Sam and toasted to our success! 

These morph suits, which we sell and have been modelled by the Dark Lord (Spiderman) and myself (Deadpool), sparked a lot of social interest…

Even Jean Luc Picard came along with us and gave us a helping hand. His forte is clearly cooking and he swiftly became our head chef for the stay…

I also, as per usual, managed to get myself into a spot of bother whilst doing the rounds…

Here are a few more shots for you to enjoy, which I managed to snap, and do keep your eyes peeled for more fantastic photographs coming from our two wonderful photographers, Patrick Larder & Joe Madden!…

Power Rangers photo-bombed by one of our minions!

Oh I do LOVE Scarecrow!

Everybody get down!
