While we went hands-on with the new expansion, the Demon Hunter class, and many of the new cards, we can’t share details regarding all of the new cards just yet, but we can say that each class (aside from the Demon Hunter class) will get new Legendary class cards known as Primes. Primes assume one

[embedded content] Interestingly, Hearthstone’s Priest class is also set to receive a fairly significant overhaul as part of the Year of the Phoenix update. This overhaul will see certain Priest cards removed from the game’s standard mode of play and be replaced with new cards. Other Priest cards are being reworked entirely. Blizzard hopes that

Franchise, likewise, is about the same, although there’s one clear new addition that could excite some players. You can now create custom teams to take the place of the Miami Marlins or Texas Rangers, or any of the other 28 teams. In practice, that means changing the team name and colors, as well as creating

An update from 343 Industries suggests that the PC version of Halo 2, available as part of the PC port of the Master Chief Collection, may go into testing as early as the end of this month. “Many of you already know this, but Halo 2 and Halo 2: Anniversary are now on deck for

A recent tweet from Kotaku news editor Jason Schreier, a reliable source for gaming news and scoops, reveals that Warner Bros. Games was planning on hosting a standalone conference at the now-canceled E3 2020 show. That conference would have reportedly featured some major announcements, including new Batman, Harry Potter, and Rocksteady games. More news from

Ubisoft and Devolver Digital have shared updates on their E3 2020 plans now that the event has been canceled due to coronavirus concerns. “The health and well-being of teams, players, and partners is our top priority,” Ubisoft wrote on Twitter. “So while we’re disappointed, we fully support the ESA’s decision to cancel E3 2020. E3

Kiciński also noted that the studio has “two worlds and we want to create games in those two worlds.” Because of that, he says that “all planned games are either Witcher or Cyberpunk.” That might sound like a lot of potentially contradictory information, but there are a few things that we can glean from these

We previously reported that fans were working on a way to restore the classic PC adventure title, Blade Runner. Now, Alcon Entertainment and Nightdive Studios have confirmed that they have acquired the rights to develop an official restoration of the game. That project, which is known as Blade Runner: Enhanced Edition, will be based on

LEGO and Nintendo have shared more about that mysterious project they recently teased, and it’s not exactly what many people were guessing it would be. Yes, LEGO and Nintendo are teaming up to make LEGO Super Mario as some fans had previously guessed. However, this project is neither a video game or a LEGO set.

Now, that dynamic shifts ever so slightly. There’s little doubt that this digital event will still heavily feature the Xbox Series X and whatever else may be in the pipeline for Microsoft as it heads into the next generation. Specifically, you can expect to hear more about the Xbox Series X price, features, and launch

E3 2020 follows a long line of canceled gaming events. The annual Game Developers Conference in San Francisco was canceled in February. The Taipei Game Show was canceled earlier this year, and CCP’s EVE Fanfest event in Reykjavik, Iceland, which was set to take place in April, was also shuttered. Earlier this month, Capcom canceled several Street

This is in no way a confirmation that Soma is set to appear in the animated series, but it’s impossible to ignore the Sorrow games as a possible influence on this futuristic setting. Of course, this could just be an elaborate easter egg since Castlevania has remained a pretty self-contained series through its first three

2K Games’ legendary NFL 2K franchise will return in 2021 thanks to a landmark deal between the publisher and the NFL. “While specific game titles, developers, and release dates will be announced at a later date, 2K confirmed the projects are in early development and will launch starting in calendar year 2021,” 2K Senior VP

In case you don’t know, let us tell you a bit about Fils-Aimé. The executive joined Nintendo in 2003 as a Vice President of Sales and Marketing. In 2004, he gave a memorable E3 speech that some felt marked something of a turnaround for the company. As President and Chief Operating Officer of Nintendo of

With Half-Life: Alyx out this month, fans are getting the first installment in the series since 2007. But the new VR title from Valve isn’t the Half-Life 2: Episode 3 that fans have been asking for since the studio went quiet on the series more than a decade ago. Alyx is an interquel set between

CASTLEVANIA Season 3 goes live Thursday, only on @netflix .

The creepy Prior Salas is an original character for the Netflix series, but he may be based on two dark priests from the video game series: Shaft and Zead. Shaft is one of the major antagonists in 1993’s Rondo of Blood for the PC Engine (the game was only available in Japan until 2007) and

The game is set during the Mongol invasion of Japan in 1274. In it, you play as a samurai named Jin Sakai who embarks upon a mission of revenge and liberation. As suspected, this is an open-world title that lets you freely explore a large area.  In fact, the incredible footage we saw at E3

Dracula himself plays no part in the story of season 3, and he doesn’t even make a cameo until the final two episodes. We see him first in episode 9, hugging his beloved wife Lisa in Hell, and then again in the finale, reaching a hand towards the portal created by the cult in Lindenfeld.

Also producing the series will be Carolyn Strauss and Naughty Dog president Evan Wells, along with Sony Pictures Television and PlayStation Productions. Said Mazin of his collaboration with Druckmann, “Neil Druckmann is without question the finest storyteller working in the video game medium, and The Last of Us is his magnum opus. Getting a chance

Despite concerns about the first confirmed cases of coronavirus in the U.S., the Electronic Software Association (ESA) has reassured attendees that the organization is still moving ahead with E3 2020 in Los Angeles in June. “Everyone is watching the situation very closely,” the ESA told IGN in a statement. “We will continue to be vigilant

A leak first reported by IGN suggests that a new Star Wars game codenamed “Project Maverick” might be on the way from Electronic Arts. The source of the leak is a listing on the backend of the European PlayStation Network that teases the unannounced game with an image of a squadron of X-wings zooming towards

As for our beloved adventurers, the third season finds them in an uncharacteristically happy place. Trevor and Sypha have solidified their bond after defeating Dracula and it seems like they’ve gone on many more adventures by the time we’re reunited with them in a fun fight scene in the first episode. The duo brings a

The gameplay has a lot of variety to it, as well. At some points, this feels like quite a traditional platformer – you’ll be jumping between platforms, batting away small foes while attempting to avoid the poisonous waters below. At other times, the Metroidvania influences really shine through – you’ll realize that you can only

The Diablo 4 development team shared some updates that they’ve added to the game in response to some of the fan feedback that they’ve received thus far.  At this time, it seems that most of the major updates revolve around the game’s UI and aesthetics. Specifically, Blizzard notes that they’ve altered Diablo 4‘s inventory screens to showcase a more realistic

The last few years have been tumultuous for the corner of online media that serves the entertainment world. Whether it was news sites wondering if it would be better to serve the whims of Facebook’s ever-changing and increasingly obscure algorithm (narrator voice: it wasn’t), a similarly ill-advised industry-wide “pivot to video,” or the proliferation of

Ambitious Half-Life remake Black Mesa is set to be officially released on March 5 following an extended stay in Steam’s Early Access program. “Through luck, hard work, and maybe a bit of ignorance we didn’t shy away from our goal of bringing this game to completion,” says Adam Engels of the Black Mesa team via

Developer Platinum Games has revealed a new title called Project G.G. which will be the studio’s first self-published game.  “Unlike any of the games we’ve made so far, it’s going to be a 100 percent Platinum Games title,” says director Hideki Kamiya via a press release. “For everything from its setting and characters, to its game

Kazuhisa Hashimoto, the creator of the Konami Code, has passed away at the age of 79.  That news was shared by composer Yuji Takenouchi who stated on Twitter that Hashimoto had passed away.
