Rest Easy, Middle-earthers, Lord of the Rings Online Isn’t Going Anywhere

One Redditor is sharing the happy news with the Lord of the Rings Online Reddit family (and we with you in turn!) that the game isn’t going anywhere despite the new MMO currently in the works at Athlon Studios. User Nemarus wrote to Middle-earth Enterprises to express his concern about the new game and the impact it might have on LOTRO, potentially even seeing it closed. However, M-eE wrote back with the cheery news “LOTRO & Athlon will co-exist within the Middle-earth universe”.

French pro Hayate breaks down Nightmare’s move list for SoulCalibur VI

French SoulCalibur player Hayate is one of the Calibur community’s living legends, likely best known for his sweep of Team Belgium with bottom tier Yunsung in SoulCalibur II. More than that, he’s one of the game’s best minds and the one of the French scene’s hardest working promoters: so it’s no surprise that he’s been putting out excellent content covering the gameplay of SoulCalibur VI‘s cast. Today, he turns his attention to the dramatically-improved Nightmare.

Hayate calls him “the scariest character in the game” for good reason — Nightmare can bully his opponents at ranges most others can’t fight him at, and disrespect frame disadvantage with his powerful armor moves. Managing Night Terror states will be the primary focus of both Nightmare and his opponent — check out the video above to learn more!
