The adapter that allows Xbox One controllers to be used wirelessly with PCs and tablets is coming later this month, Microsoft has confirmed.       A listing for the dongle, officially known as the Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows, references a release date of October 20 on the official Xbox website. Confusingly, GameStop and Amazon listings offer two separate dates--October 27 and November 3, respectively. Microsoft confirmed with GameSpot that October 20 is the official release date, though at this point it remains unclear where you'll be able to purchase it on that day. "[W]e can confirm the Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows, announced earlier this year, will release on Oct. 20 in most markets," the company said in a statement today. "We look forward to sharing more details soon." The $25 adapter was first revealed at this year's GDC, and was then confirmed for a release this fall at E3. Until now, the only official way to use an Xbox One controller on PC was by connecting it with a micro-USB cable. That will remain the only option for some PC and tablet owners, as the new wireless adapter requires Windows 10. The new operating system is a free upgrade right now for Windows 7 and 8 users, but while adoption has been strong, there are invariably going to be those who aren't up-to-date and thus will be unable to use the adapter.

Treyarch producer Jason Blundell has apologized for the recent incident where Call of Duty's Twitter account was used to livetweet a fake terrorist attack. "Here's my view--and again, I'm a simple director and not involved in the marketing at all," he told IGN. "However, it was absolutely not done for any kind of attention in any way. It was not done maliciously, or as any kind of scare tactic. I personally am very sorry for anyone who looked at it and got the wrong idea because it genuinely wasn't meant that way." In late September, the official Call of Duty account was modified to make it look like an account that reports real-world news. Following a series of innocuous tweets, it began sending out messages about a terrorist attack in Singapore. This culminated in a tweet reading, "This was a glimpse into the future fiction of #BlackOps3." The account has since returned to its standard Call of Duty name and branding. While Activision appeared to be going for a sort of War of the Worlds-style marketing campaign for the game, there was an extremely negative backlash in the wake of the tweets. "It was done on our channel, and it was to talk about the fiction of the world," Blundell continued. "I think we were as shocked as everybody else when it started blowing up, because essentially we were teeing up ready for a story beat. So again, very sorry for anyone who took it that way. It wasn't meant that way at all--it was supposed to just be getting ready for a campaign element." Activision has still not commented on the incident. We've reached out to the company but have not yet received any response. Only the current-gen and PC versions of Black Ops III feature a campaign mode; it's been dropped from the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions due to technical constraints. Blundell tells GameSpot in a new interview that he supports the decision, though he thinks story needs to remain a key part of Call of Duty.

The first trailer for the second season of Netflix's Marvel series Daredevil screened at New York Comic Con this weekend. The trailer leaked onto the Internet before being withdrawn earlier today, but now a lower quality version has appeared. It can be viewed at vk.com here. IO9 have also released screencaps from the teaser, which provide a clearer look at some of the scenes. Check them out here:          Although much of the clip simply recaps events from season one, the teaser does provide a few tantalising glimpses of what fans can expect from the new season. Regular stars Charlie Cox, Deborah Ann Woll, and Elden Henson appear, alongside Rosario Dawson as kindly nurse Claire, and Peter McRobbie's Father Lantom. More excitingly, the teaser also reveals brief looks at two of the most anticipated new characters, namely Elektra and The Punisher. Both are important parts of the Daredevil story in Marvel's comic books, and are played by Élodie Yung and Jon Bernthal respectively. Last week, Bernthal remained elusive when asked by CBR about his role. "They're so strict about this stuff, like what you can talk about and what you can't," he said. "I know that sucks. But it's just the way it is. That's all I can really say about it." Nevertheless, Bernthal has been tweeting intriguing pictures while filming. When asked about these, he teased: "Whether you think that has anything to do with the show or not, that's up to you." [Update: A version of the trailer has appeared on Twitter. You can watch it below, at least until it gets pulled.]
Daredevil season two will premiere on Netflix in 2016. In the meantime, the streaming giant's latest Marvel show, Jessica Jones, will be released in its entirety on November 20, 2015.

Activision on Monday published a new trailer for Call of Duty: Black Ops III's "Shadows of Evil" zombies mode, and it does not disappoint. Watch as the video explains the origins of the game's four main characters, played by Jeff Goldblum, Heather Graham, Neal McDonough, and Ron Perlman. Shadows of Evil is set in the 1940s. The characters played by the celebrities are shown in this video committing murders of varying types. Perlman's character, for instance, is a boxer. He wears brass knuckles under his gloves and kills his opponent in the ring. Goldblum, meanwhile, kills his wife after she racks up more debt than he's comfortable dealing with. Watch the video to see all four killing sequences. In the second half of the video, the four are shown drinking something that causes them to collapse. Then, a mysterious "shadowy figure" offers the four a shot at redemption, which involves killing zombies. "Only through me, the Shadow Man, will you find your redemption," the figure says. It's a very slick trailer, with the character models rendered in stunning detail. Click through the gallery below to see what Goldblum, Graham, McDonough, and Perlman look like in the game.     Shadows of Evil is included with Black Ops III across all versions of the game, including the feature-stripped, last-generation edition. Black Ops III launches on November 6 for all platforms. For lots more on the game's campaign, which stars actors from Law & Order and Battlestar Galactica, check out GameSpot's just-published preview. What do you make of Black Ops III's new zombies mode? Let us know in the comments below.

Ahead of Star Wars Battlefront's launch next month, EA today announced plans to offer a season pass for the shooter which sounds similar to what's been offered for developer DICE's past games. The season pass provides access to four expansion packs "coming at a later date." EA didn't provide any specifics regarding what these packs will consist of or how often they'll be released. It did, however, say they'll be "filled with new content that will take you to new locations across a galaxy far, far away," suggesting new maps will be a key component. In addition to presumably getting the four DLC packs at a discount, season pass owners get two weeks of early access to each expansion. The pass also comes with a "Shoot First" emote. Listings on the Xbox Store, PlayStation Store, and Origin all list a $50 price for the season pass. Assuming EA and DICE follow the same setup as the recent Battlefield games, the DLC packs are likely to cost $15 each. If you know upfront that you'll be buying the season pass, you can opt to pick up the newly announced Ultimate Edition of Battlefront. This version of the game includes everything that comes with the Deluxe Edition, as well as the season pass. A price for the Ultimate Edition wasn't mentioned, but the Deluxe Edition on its own costs $70. Battlefront's open beta continues to be available on PC, Xbox One, and PS4. It was originally scheduled to end today, but EA has extended it until Tuesday, October 13. The full game launches on November 17.
