Everyone has a fighting chance
About 4 months ago, Carbine Studios announced that WildStar would be going Free to Play. Since then, we’ve learned a lot about what the transition would look like, including a sneak peek at E3, and a deep dive into character stat refactoring. But the studio was also eager to get fan feedback, promising a beta period for new and existing players to give feedback on this reloaded version of WildStar.
Daybreak Game Company has announced The Road to Twitchcon where a special H1Z1 invitational will take place featuring players and several well-known Twitch streamers fighting for dominance in PLAYERUNKNOWN’s Battle Royal survival mod.
Stealth is far too big for my little piece of internet real estate so I will have to cover it in a couple of articles. In this first piece I want to talk about the Archer and the Soul Walker.

A new advertisement has cropped up on the Blizzard site for an "unannounced project" that in and of itself seems like nothing too exciting. However, the addition of "A passion for games with a deep understanding of the Diablo franchise" is the clue. Whether this is an expansion to Diablo III or if it’s an entirely new entry into the series, Diablo IV, remains to be seen, though Blizzcon could see a big announcement for fans of the legendary IP.
A day ahead of tomorrow’s big Neverwinter update, Cryptic Studios has published the patch notes for Strongholds, the next module to be added to the game.
Internet spaceships are serious business. As a meme, EVE Online players have used this expression to explain the bizarre emotional attachment that people develop to their in-game assets. When everything you’ve spent months working on goes up in smoke, it can be easy to see why some players tend to have the reactions they do. Wingspan Delivery Services is no stranger to these types of exaggerated reactions. After all, they’re in the business of making things go up in smoke.
