Update (October 16):Nobuo Uematsu has clarified that he’s “not retiring” after Fantasian Neo Dimension, saying that “there seems to be some misunderstanding” from a comment he made saying the JRPG would be his “final project as a composer of video game music.”In a tweet shared overnight, the JRPG legend asks fans to “calm down,” and says he just wants “more time to make the music I want to make.” He explains: “Wait, wait, wait! Everybody calm down! There seems to be some misunderstanding, but I’m not retiring from video game music work!”I’m going to cut back a bit on my video game music work because I want to have more time to make the music I want to make,” Uematsu continues. “It would be difficult for me to take on the entire soundtrack of a video game because the time commitment for composing would be too long, but I would like to continue to work on jobs such as one theme song.”So, we’ve not heard the last of Uematsu’s work yet, which is sure to be a relief for fans. It’s also intriguing to imagine what the music he wants to make might sound like after 38 years of work on so many games.Original story:JRPG legend Nobuo Uematsu says Fantasian Neo Dimension will be his “final project” as a video game composer.Sign up to the GamesRadar+ Newsletter

Black Ops 6 arrives on October 25, and tons of new information was revealed for multiplayer and Warzone during Activision’s Call of Duty: Next event on August 28, including live gameplay featuring Treyarch’s new omnimovement system. GameSpot was able to attend the event and speak with Treyarch about the changes in development for the new shared engine and how it enabled the studio to create Call of Duty’s new advanced movement.
The last Treyarch game was 2020’s Black Ops Cold War, which was a Call of Duty that was created on a shorter development cycle and required a pivot to work-from-home conditions during the pandemic. Now, Treyarch is back in the action again with an extended four-year development cycle for Black Ops 6, and it is the studio’s first game on Call of Duty’s new shared engine, which was introduced with 2022’s Modern Warfare 2 reboot.
