At a big show put on for EA investors today, Battlefield GM Byron Beede announced that some variety of public playtesting for the next Battlefield game will start early next year, and revealed what each Battlefield studio is working on:
Project Rene, the codename for the next major Sims game, isn't cancelled. In fact, EA will be doing some closed multiplayer testing this fall. But the in-development game we've occasionally called "The Sims 5" isn't actually The Sims 5 at all, it says. Project Rene and The Sims 4 are both going to be part of «the Sims universe» for the foreseeable future.
Hearthstone's been around for a decade now, which is an awfully long time for a videogame. It's understandably not the behemoth it was back in its prime, although Blizzard reassured players in July that despite some less-than-ideal impressions, the game is not dying. And to prove it, Blizzard has done an absolutely normal thing for a game that's not dying and added a wee little fire-faced man who sits at the bottom of your screen, which you can have for your very own for just $60.
Everyone remembers wincing at the trailer for Diablo 4's first expansion Vessel of Hatred. In it, we saw a young girl hallucinate being crucified in hell in excruciating detail. It was a very hard watch that didn't actually say much about what the expansion will have to offer.
Arrowhead finally dropped that big Helldivers 2 rebalancing patch that's been over a month in the making, and the word is good: The people are loving how much more powerful guns and stratagems feel across the board, and crucially, they like having way more options to take down Bile Titans, Chargers, and Hulks. The largest Terminid and Automaton threats are now less resilient against weapons many players always thought should deal more damage, like the Autocannon or Thermite Grenade, and are less oppressive as a result.
World of Warcraft players have spent years asking Blizzard to let them do raids without a full group of players so they can just see how the story ends. Starting today in The War Within, that will finally be possible—with some minor caveats.
may allow players to thoroughly explore the titular city, but one player wanted to take things a little further and show off a particularly iconic part of The Forgotten Realms. Avernus is a major part of the game's setting as the narrative picks up shortly after the events of the adventure, but only allows players to steal a glimpse at the fiery landscape. It seems like a waste given how important it is to the narrative, so it stands to reason that some users would want to see more.
Team comps may get stronger in 2.6 with the addition of a new Relic set, as indicated by a leak centered around the update’s content. Version 2.6 is the next big patch for HoYoverse’s turn-based RPG. At the moment, the game is going through the content of Version 2.5, which includes the new story missions on the Xianzhou Luofu and the event centered around the Wardance Festival. This is the same patch that has introduced the playable versions of Feixiao, Moze, and Lingsha in following their debut as NPCs in the previous update.
