Everyone has a fighting chance
Wargaming has announced that it has opened a new office in Guildford, United Kingdom for the express purpose of creating an “unannounced free-to-play, multiplatform MMO” using the Unreal Engine. The studio will be headed up by Sean Decker who joined Wargaming earlier in 2018 after a over a decade of experience with both EA and CCP Games. Decker will oversee a 25-developer team that will grow as the game’s development deepens.
Starting tomorrow, PlayStation 4 and XBox One players can take on the game using the new Ninja class. All console players will be gifted an additional character slot as long as they log in before October 8th. In addition, a new leveling event will kick off tomorrow and last through October 8th as well. As the character levels, Ninja Boxes will be awarded starting at level 10 and every 10 levels after.
The Sea of Thieves site has been updated with a brief note to let players know that the Forsaken Shores content update is being delayed from September 19th to September 27th. The move was made after “Pioneers” provided feedback that helped devs understand that the content needed work. “Our priority is to deliver a stable, polished and bug-free experience and we feel that the extra week of development will enable us to do that.”
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.

However, M-eE wrote back with the cheery news “LOTRO & Athlon will co-exist within the Middle-earth universe”.
We already knew that the Heroes of the Storm team was working to revamp the Garden of Terror map, the “home” of the Nexus character “Lady of Thorns”.

I spent a good amount of time playing more Destiny 2, playing through the story thinking I would get bored at some point and probably just jump straight into the Forsaken content. I was wrong.
Destiny 2 players have defeated the first Forsaken raid, The Last Wish. Because of their accomplishment, a new Dreaming City-themed Strike and Gambit map are now available for all players who own the Forsaken expansion.
