Hearthstone players will be able to score about $15 worth of free card packs (1,300 in-game gold) during the first week after Whispers of the Old Gods launches simply by logging into the game and then playing nine games in the new “standard” mode. The announcement was made during this week’s live stream event and posted to Reddit by AdamNW.
First Details Surrounding Tekken 7’s King of the Iron Fist Tournament Surface
We’ve heard rustlings surrounding Tekken 7’s aptly-named King of the Iron Fist Tournament, but details surrounding the series remained rather limited prior to today. Just a short while ago, Gamespot revealed the first battery of information surrounding these tournaments, so we all have a better idea of what to look forward to.
As far as basics are concerned, the tournament will be part of the Wizard World Con tour and is free for everyone to enter. The tournament will take place across North America with stops in sixteen different cities, culminating in a North American final where the top competitors from each stop will compete for their share of a prize pool totaling $30,000.
You probably also noticed that we’ve not mentioned Fated Retribution yet in this article, and with good reason. According to Mark “MarkMan” Julio, the King of the Iron Fist Tournament tour will begin under Tekken 7 and will, at some point down the line, make the switch over to Tekken 7 Fated Retribution.
Further details, including when the switch over to Fated Retribution will take place, are forthcoming.

Sylvie, Luong, Nelson, Mai, and More to be Playable at Next Week’s King of Fighters XIV Live Demo
As we previously reported, SNK Playmore will be hosting a King of Fighters XIV Experience event in Tokyo this coming Monday, April 25, featuring 24 playable characters. Who those 24 characters are was, up until now, unknown.
Now, SNK Playmore has finally lifted the veil on which characters will be playable at the event. Newcomers Sylvie Paula Paula, Luong, Nelson, the King of Dinosaurs, and Banderas, as well as returning characters Mai Shiranui, Ryo Sakazaki, K’, Choi Bounge, Kim Kaphwan, Athena Asamiya, Vice, Benimaru Nikaido, Terry Bogard, and Tung Fu Rue have been confirmed for the build. They will be joining previously playable cast members Kyo Kusanagi, Iori Yagami, Robert Garcia, Andy Bogard, Kula Diamond, King, Chang Koehan, Leona Heidern, and Billy Kane.
You can check out these characters in the character select screen from the build that SNK Playmore has shared.
Sadly, some of the more recently revealed characters such as Geese Howard, Joe Higashi, and newcomer Kukri will not be playable at the event. That said, this is still quite a jump from the previous playable builds which only featured nine characters.
In addition to the roster for Monday’s event, SNK Playmore announced that they will be releasing another trailer for the game with a lot of new information on the same day.
