This week’s HiRez Bugle is chock full of news for the independent Georgia developer’s games. Not only did Paladins see a patch with the new Champion Terminus, but SMITE also saw a bunch of new skins. The big news though is that the closed beta for Hand of the Gods is now officially open on both Xbox One and PlayStation 4!

Noel Vermillion, Chie Satonaka, and Waldstein blast their way into BlazBlue Cross Tag Battle
As Arc Revolution Cup 2017 approaches, Arc System Works decided to hit us with a double dose of character reveals for BlazBlue Cross Tag Battle, following the additions of BlazBlue’s Rachel Alucard and Hazama, along with RWBY’s Weiss Schnee.
Today we welcome BlazBlue’s Successor of the Azure, Noel Vermillion, Persona 4 Arena’s “Spunky Dragon with Deadly Legs” Chie Satonaka, and Under Night In-Birth’s Waldstein — who carries the EXS of Hecatonchair, and serves as the game’s first grappler.
From the brief snippets of gameplay, we can see that Noel retains Spring Raid as her Furious Action, several of her gun normals, what appears to be Assault Through, as well as Zero Gun: Fenrir, as one of her Distortion Skills.
Chie obviously brings her Persona, Tomoe, into battle, and seems to retain the freezing effects of her 5C, her Herculean Strike from Ultimax, as well as her Rampage and Skull Cracker rekkas — along with Black Spot and Dragon Kick. She also has her God’s Hand as her Distortion Skill; though Power Charge and her Awakened Skill, Agneyastra, were nowhere to be seen.
Waldstein appears to have Wirbelwind as his Furious Action, while his Infinite Worth, Werfen Erschlagen, serves as his Distortion Skill. His command grabs also look as painful and powerful as ever, and it will be interesting to see if his normals retain their projectile-destroying properties from his home series.
The trailer closes with a stinger line from Jin, implying annoyance at another fighter who’s “wandered into this world” — which leads me to believe it’s either Tsubaki, Makoto, Hakumen, or Celica (whose stage, Magister’s City: Ishana, is already confirmed to be in the game). You can see the full trailer below, which notes the next reveals will come in late November on the “ArcNama” stream.
Are you excited about these recent reveals? Who else would you like to see be “on the way” for BBTAG? Tell us in the comments below!
BlazBlue Cross Tag Battle will be released in 2018 for PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch and Steam PC — and will be playable at this weekend’s Arc Revolution Cup 2017 in Japan.

3-on-3 Street Fighter V action: Red Bull’s “The Pit” takes place this weekend in Cologne, Germany
A hardcore Street Fighter V fight comes to Germany this weekend!
The Red Bull Proving Grounds Fall Season Finals aren’t the only fighting game action Red Bull is playing host to this weekend: across the pond in Cologne, Germany, Red Bull is set to run The Pit, a “hardcore” 3-on-3 clash of Street Fighter V pros, on October 21 and 22. From Red Bull Esports:
It’s loud. It’s rough. It’s Red Bull: The Pit. 30 years ago, Capcom released the legendary beat ‘em up Street Fighter and by now, it enjoys universal cult status. In celebration of that anniversary an event in a class of its own will be hosted: on October 21st and 22nd, 2017, the fighting game will be brought back to its roots. In an unparalleled 3v3 tournament with 32 [teams] overall… With renowned team captains like Luffy, will2pack and TKR, the best 16 teams out of 32 will fight for glory on Sunday, October 22nd. The event will go live at 11 AM with the doors to Bootshaus Cologne opening for the audience at 10 AM. Be there in time to soak up the Fight Club atmosphere or show your skills in some free plays! The viewers at home should go ahead and bookmark our livestream on Twitch!
The competitors won’t be on their own in The Pit, as the teams will consist of three players each. Whoever takes down all opposing players will win and advance to the next round. A combination of strength and tactical refinement are the keys to beating the European Street Fighter elite. Red Bull: The Pit will capture the unique and old school feel of Japanese arcades by bringing the once-off flair to life on lag-free esports screens by ZOWIE.
Interested? Check out redbull.com/thepit, and head over to Twitch at twitch.tv/redbullesports to catch the livestream.

Put them in, coach! Sports costumes for three Street Fighter V characters will arrive alongside Zeku on October 24
October 24th is already a big day for Street Fighter V players, as the final Season 2 character — Zeku — will make his way to the game on that date. That isn’t all Capcom has packed into the update, though.
The Street Fighter team announced that three new sports-themed costumes will make their way alongside the character. Featured in this set is Zangief (who is donning a wrestling outfit reminiscent of WWE Hall of Famers The Road Warriors), Karin (who is geared up to ride in an equestrian event), and Kolin (who is ready to go for the gold in Pyeongchang, Korea, in some figure skating).
Expect to pay the usual premium costume prices (usually $3.99 USD each) for these ones, as well.

– HyperX Cloud Alpha Headset – Outstanding
For $99, the HyperX Cloud Alpha may be single best value gaming headset out there. In my time with it, I have been impressed in every single way, even when comparing it to headset’s more than twice the price. Simply put, if you want a headset that will not only make games and music sound great, but won’t break the bank, look no further. HyperX has done it again.
