BlizzCon 2023 opened its doors today, and set the stage for the publisher’s road ahead. From an acquisition to new heroes and expansions, there’s a quite a few things to recap from the BlizzCon 2023 Opening Ceremony. This year’s ceremony certainly had a big ring of roping old fans back into the fold.But the star of the show was certainlyWorld of Warcraft, which saw the reveal of aClassic Cataclysmand a new structure for its story and expansions moving forward, under theWorldsoul Sagamoniker....

James Montanga abstracts upon the abstract Two of James Montagna’s most well known games areAdventure Time: Hey Ice King Why’d You Steal Our Garbage?!!andWonder Momo. These games sold because of their characters.Wonder Momohad built up a strong following through her comic strip on Shifty Look, andAdventure Timewas a worldwide merchandising phenomenon by the time it first hit the market. I’d imagine designing a game that features beloved characters must be a double-edged sword....

‘Ever Upwards’ “Ever Upwards” is a fantastic name for this upcomingFallout 76patch. Despite the outcry, Bethesda is basically treatingFallout 76like an Early Access game in progress, trying to fix it with meaty free content drops. Now these were always part of the plan, and the microtransaction store still exists, but given how easily they could have given up on the whole thing, I’ll give them one small two-fingered clap. After all, I’d hate to see the wonderful world of West Virginia go to waste: one day, I really hope that the all-inclusive edition (which no one will call “GOTY,” as I’ve said in the past) is worth picking up....

Former Rare developer drops hints In recent months, there’sbeen talkof Rare “building a uniquely Rare game,” but that’s as much as we’ve gotten — talk. While I’m looking forward to seeing if that project comes to fruition, Playtonic has more of my attention right now with itsBanjo-Kazooiespiritual successorProject Ukulele. Speaking toThe Guardian, Playtonic studio head Gavin Price said he still keeps up with his former employer. ” I know what [Rare was] working on when I left last year....

Fate/Samurai Remnanthas been out since September 2023, but it only recently received a demo to entice players who haven’t touched the amazing game yet. The demo gives you a small slice of what the whole game possesses. It’s pretty long, so for some, it won’t be enough to fully grasp it. Nevertheless, if you were on the fence about this title, the demo should convince you if it’s worth your money....

It’s amazing what we can accomplish when we work together, no? Whether we’re building human pyramids out of naked prisoners orrioting through the streetswhen our favorite sports team wins/loses the big sports game, ourtrue potentialis only ever reached through the power of teamwork. The same can be said for our virtual lives, as well. Lucky for us, then, that teaming up with our fellow gamers to take down bosses or objectives has grown increasingly popular as of late!...

Last month, GameStop CEO Dan DeMatteo said that they plan to “have a continued shortage this Christmas” on Nintendo’s Wii console. He made things sound pretty dire for potential Wii owners: “I don’t see a near-term end in sight for Wii shortages, not unless they really ramp up supply. I think they’ve ramped it up 20 percent or so, but Nintendo is fairly cautious by nature. They ramped it up 20 and it’s still evaporating....

More open than GTA V Although Rockstar has quite a bit of basic multiplayer experience withRed Dead RedemptionandMax Payne 3, it has never tackled something quite as ambitious asGrand Theft Auto Online. As a result, millions of players have experienced hangups time and time again, as they wrestle connection issues in attempting to play Rockstar’s first grand online experiment. Possibly due to a sheer stroke of luck, I was able to get into Rockstar’s latest venture for hours on end, and found that once you make your way past some incredibly questionable presentation design, there’s atonof fun to be had in a multiplayer-centric version of Los Santos....

With a quirky and lively art style, along with a pretty dense combat system, fans in the West have been itching for a chance to get their copy of the game. Thankfully, Namco Bandai plans to bring this bizarre, for lack of a better word, fighter to fans later in Spring 2014....

Have you ever thought, “Gee, it must be easy to be Kanye West.” Well, then do I have a game for you! Life in the Westcomes from Davey Wreden, creator of the celebrated, mind-bendingHalf-Life 2modThe Stanley Parable. He hasn’t promoted the game beyondgiving a link on Twitter.
