Broken Age Act 2 will be released in the U.S. on April 28, 2015, and April 29 in Europe. According to developer Double Fine Productions, Act 2 will be free to any PC gamers who already own Act 1 . For those looking to purchase both acts, the game will be available as a single purchase for $24.99. The full game will also be available soon for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation V
It’s no secret that Mists of Pandaria is not the most beloved World of Warcraft expansion. Many players were disappointed by the game’s move in a seemingly less serious direction, especially as it arrived just after one of the darker stories in the game’s complicated l
The speed by which the tickets sold out is definitely a strong indicator that the eSports industry is alive and well. With viewers of tournaments growing alongside the award money, we’re sure this is still only the beginning of eSports. The prize pool for the previous Dota 2 International tournament, for instance, reached $11 million. Esports is definitely here to s
After being named the Game of the Year at the 2015 Game Developers Conference, it looks like Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor may be getting a Game of the Year edition. While there’s not yet any official word on the edition, Warner Bros. did submit the game for a Game of the Year classification to the Australian Classification Bo
MV: In general, we have this design value of easy to learn, difficult to master. That is very much what we’re trying to capture with Heroes of the Storm itself. We want to make it easy to get into; the information is clear, it’s intuitive, it just makes sense when you pick it up. At the same time, there is a lot of room to grow. Maybe I’ve played a 100 hours with this hero and I’m still learning things or discovering new ways I can play t
M: You also revealed you’ll be focusing on storytelling this year, as well as a comic book that is releasing later this month. What are some of the ways you’ll accomplish this? Will there be anything in-game or will it mostly be outside of that like the comic b
It’s hard not to get teary-eyed watching Tyrael descend from the sky voluntarily even out of context, but when the trailer arrives just at the right point in the game’s story, there’s no denying its impact. Although Diablo 3 is incredibly replayable, the game’s story does matter and it’s hard not to become attached to its characters in between long sessions of looting. We dare players to make it through the game without getting invested in this st
This benefits the player and Valve equally, because Valve offers players items they genuinely want to buy, not have to buy or be left behind. Valve makes money, Dota 2 players look pretty. But Dota 2 players who haven’t spent any money can still stomp into the ground players who have a cosmetic set for every hero. Moving away from League of Legends (since that debate is a particularly stomach-turning can of worms), consider Plants vs. Zombies 2. PopCap was sold to Electronic Arts after the first game, and EA moved the sequel to an all-mobile platform that’s free to play, but it’s the wrong kind of free to play. It’s the kind with micro-transactions that offer a better gaming experience.
Phantom Dust is one of the many games being rebooted or remastered for current-gen consoles. With the lack of backwards compatibility on the devices, and the inability for players to outright purchase classic games like they could on last-gen consoles, it seems reboots and remasters will continue to grow in popularity. Hopefully, for Phantom Dust fans, there’s still hope the game will make its way to the Xbox
Last month, word broke that Microsoft had canceled a reboot of Phantom Dust , which was being developed by Darkside Games. The reboot was meant to revive the cult classic from the original Xbox, and while Darkside Games is no longer working on it, Microsoft says it still plans to release the game at some point for Xbox One. Microsoft didn’t provide a reason for cancelling the project, or when they envision the game will rele
I don’t have many vivid memories of things I saw on my Facebook news feed, but this is one of them. I’m scrolling past updates from my friends who play League of Legends, and one post was about how a new champion added was so good. One of their friends commented “Is he worth?” to which my friend responded “So worth.”
Arthas and Nova should never really end up in a battle together as far as Blizzard lore is concerned, but Heroes of the Storm allows players to live out that “who would win in a fight?” fantasy over and over in an addicting Moba Game Esports News format. This trailer does a stellar job of showing just how fun things can get when you relax and don’t think too m
KM: I think it’s all about evolution. We’ve worked really hard to really change the way our team works; that way, we can deliver a lot of content very frequently. This is a really new thing for us. Our team has worked on StarCraft II , Warcraft III , and original StarCraft , so we were a boxed product team where we worked on something for many years, released it and then went away for a couple of years, then release an expans
