EVERSPACE 2 developer ROCKFISH Games, being headquartered in Hamburg, couldn't very well pass up on the Cologne-based Gamescom, especially since they've got the Titans DLC coming up soon. Due to launch on September 16 across all platforms (PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series S|X) for a price tag of $15, this is the first story DLC for the space combat game that was fully released in 2023. I caught up with ROCKFISH Games CEO and Co-Founder Michael Schade and Communications Manager Lee Guille to learn more about EVERSPACE 2: Titans and to discuss various aspects of the industry, from their […]
Today, Blizzard announced more details about Overwatch 2 Season 12. First and foremost, the game's roster will be expanded with a new support hero, Juno from Mars. Juno's versatile Mediblaster and Pulsar Torpedoes allow her to simultaneously heal her allies and damage her enemies, making her a fantastic support hero. Her Hyper Ring ability accelerates team movement for quick engagements and retreats, while her high mobility, enhanced by Martian Overboots, allows her to navigate the battlefield with unparalleled agility. Players may then unleash the power of her Orbital Ray and power up their teammates to break through tough strangleholds and […]
In recent weeks, King employees have swapped their LinkedIn information, saying they are now working in Blizzard. This comes in conjunction with Microsoft and Activision's new team, which has been created within Blizzard. This team takes employees from King and other various Blizzard employees and is now a focused team dedicated to working on Blizzard's "AA" games, such as World of Warcraft, Overwatch, StarCraft, and more. The expansion doesn't come as much of a surprise, as Microsoft acquired Activision Blizzard last year for a hefty $72 billion. This gave Microsoft leverage over some of its major franchises, such as Call […]
During yesterday's official live stream, Blizzard revealed that the much anticipated Season 4 of Diablo IV will be released on May 14 across all platforms. Titled Loot Reborn, the new season makes major changes to how players can obtain and improve equipment. So far, the community's feedback on the Public Test Realm has been very positive. The itemization changes are so wide-ranging that they won't be limited to the Seasonal Realm, so even players in the Eternal Realm will be affected. To start with, the developers have significantly decreased the amount of items that drop whenever you slay monsters, which […]
For nearly two years, Microsoft's unprecedented $68.7 billion acquisition of Activision Blizzard stayed in the news, mostly due to the Windows and Xbox company's battle with certain regulators (chiefly the US FTC and the UK CMA). That came to an end, even though the FTC is still trying to unmake the deal, on October 13, when Microsoft announced the closure of the acquisition. Over six months have passed. How has it been from Blizzard's end? Speaking to VideoGamesChronicle, Blizzard's Holly Longdale (Vice President and Executive Producer of World of Warcraft) reckons it's been business as usual, with Microsoft choosing not […]
Overwatch 2, Season 10, entitled “Venture Forth” arrives tomorrow and Blizzard has fully spelled out what it will entail. The season will introduce new drill-wielding, underground burrowing hero Venture, but that’s not all. Players can look forward to the “Mirrorwatch” event, which sees several characters swap alignment from hero to villain, and vice-versa, resulting in new looks and tweaked movesets, the launch of the capture point Clash mode, big changes to how heroes are accessed (they’re all free immediately upon release now), and more. You can check out the Overwatch 2 Season 10 launch trailer, below. We’ve already covered the […]
VR fans galore as two modders have created a WoW VR mod that adds support for VR to the final patch of World of Warcraft Wrath of the Lich King. Created by modders 'StreetRat' and 'Marulu', this VR mod is an experimental release for World of Warcraft patch 3.3.5a (the last patch for Wrath of the Ling King released in 2010). As mentioned by the duo, there are no plans for active development of the mod, but if there's enough interest from the community, the duo might look at implementing first-person mount visibility and player character IK. As noted by […]
Three months ago, a rumor suggested that NetEase was close to inking a new agreement to bring Blizzard games back to mainland China after the complete shutdown that occurred in early 2023. At last, NetEase, Blizzard, and Microsoft have now officially announced the completion of the deal. Blizzard's beloved games, including World of Warcraft, Hearthstone, other titles in the Warcraft franchise, Overwatch, Diablo, and StarCraft, will once again be available in China starting this Summer. They won't all be released at once, though - the press release says they'll launch 'sequentially', and we don't know yet which one will be […]
Overwatch 2 Season 10 kicks off next month, but if you want to try out the season’s hew hero Venture early, you can do it this weekend. Venture, who Blizzard is touting at their first non-binary character, is a Damage hero and, overall, one of the more unique-looking characters Blizzard has served up thus far. Basically, they can burrow under the ground ala Bugs Bunny (or Mario in his Drill Suit I suppose) allowing them to sneak behind enemy lines then burst out to deal damage. You can check Venture out in action, below. Not exactly the most realistic moveset, […]
New Diablo IV comparison videos were shared online, highlighting the differences ray tracing brings to the latest entry in the series. The videos, which were shared on YouTube by MxBenchmarkPC and Frozburn, highlight how ray tracing doesn't make a big difference, as the improvements are barely noticeable in some scenarios. Additionally, the hit on performance is big on both RTX 4080 and 4090 GPUs, so it seems like there's no real reason to turn ray tracing on in the game except to look at it for a few minutes. The latest Diablo IV update introduced ray tracing on consoles as […]
Fans are still waiting for a full reveal of what can be expected from Diablo IV Season 4, but today during their latest “Campfire Chat,” Blizzard revealed some of the nitty gritty things players need to know about the season. First off, Season 4 will be arriving later than expected, as Blizzard wants to make sure that feedback from Diablo IV’s first public test realm will be fully incorporated. So, instead of coming out on April 16 as previously promised, Season 4 will arrive on May 14. As for the changes we can expect, well, there’s a lot to cover. […]
World of Warcraft has been a pioneer when it comes to open-world online multiplayer, and yet, the game has kind of missed out one of the big recent trends in that space – battle royale. Well, apparently that changes now, as Blizzard has announced World of Warcraft “Plunderstorm,” a new pirate-themed 60-player battle royale limited-time activity. You can check out a trailer for Plunderstorm, below. Need to know more? Here’s the official rundown on Plunderstorm… Set Sail for the Plunderstorm “Plunge into a challenging battle that earns excellent rewards for World of Warcraft Modern and Classic progression realms. All you […]
Samsung has been reported on multiple occasions to introduce a design change with the Galaxy S25 Ultra launch, with the flagship said to feature rounded corners instead of sharp ones, resembling the company’s Galaxy Note 7. However, it is one thing to check out an artist’s impression of the smartphone and another to view an actual render, and we are happy to mention that an official image has come out, but there is a catch. The notable leakster responsible for showcasing the Galaxy S25 Ultra to his fans has blurred it out unless his financial target is met. Donation goal from […]
This week saw the release of Astro Bot, a delightful game that pays tribute to the rich history of PlayStation. It also, inadvertently, highlights the dearth of new games and franchises really worth celebrating from the PS5 era. Also, Star Wars Outlaws...
