It's been sometime since we checked in on Gazillion's Marvel Heroes (now, Marvel Heroes 2016), but last month the developers dropped the "Biggest Update Ever" that changed up quite a bit with the title's underlying mechanics and "meta" game. Late last week, they added their 60th(!) playable character to the game with the X-Men's Beast, and fellow X-Man Jubilee as a new team-up character.
While many were hoping that Blizzard would announce the next entry in the Diablo series at last week's Blizzcon, it appears that all we'll be getting is the return of a familiar class: the Necromancer. Sometime next year, the Rise of the Necromancer pack will be available for Diablo 3 on the PC and the Ultimate Evil Edition on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
The free-to-play, third-person action MOBA SMITE got a pretty big update today on the PC. In addition to a new goddess, the earth mother Terra, a lot of existing items and gods got some tweaks, too.
Pendles, the serpentine assassin, has joined Battleborn's long roster of characters for Season Pass holder, and will be available to all players this week on Thursday, August 4. Much like the previous character, Alana, you can pick up Pendles by purchasing him for 47,500 in-game credits.
The necromancer, Xul, from Diablo 2 and the wizard, Li Ming, from Diablo 3 are the latest characters to be added to the Heroes of the Storm roster. Unlike the cooperative play-based Cho'Gall, you can unlock these heroes through the usual acquisition methods, i.e., in-game gold or paying real life money.
All you fans of Heroes of the Storm have further cause to celebrate the game's (albeit limited) co-op mode. A new hero - the ogre mage Cho-Gall - has been added to the roster from the depths of the Warcraft franchise and he offers a unique twist; two players must control him and work together to utilize all of his abilities.
Fairy Tales are full of archetypes, from the beautiful princess to the ghastly ogre. Many of stories also have a Prince Charming, but not many of them are as violent as Sterling from Fable Legends. This is one handsome chap who is as likely to stab you, as he is to kiss you.
Disney Infinity 3.0 is the latest game in the popular game/toy series and apparently it is all about the Star Wars. Not so, as the new trailer for the game introduces two characters you would know better from the Marvel Universe; Hulkbuster and Ultron.
Good news for all you Heroes of the Storm fans out there. A new map and two new characters will be added to the game some time in the next few months. These are in addition to the new monk character, Kharazim, that was announced during E3 in June.
Who hasn't wanted to get all rock 'n' roll once in a while and throw a TV out of the window or smash up a guitar? There are cheaper ways of releasing your musical frustration and the character of Verse in Fable Legends may just be the person for you. She likes to hit enemies with her over sized lute.
Hyrule Warriors is one of those rare breed of games that have been released on a Nintendo platform and is being supported by DLC. Co-Optimus has already brought you information on the 2nd DLC pack called Twilight Princess, but now there is a trailer.
By now the origins of the Skylander series are being lost in the mists of time, but before there was Skylanders Trap Team there was a plucky young dragon called Sypro who starred in his own adventures. Now his doppelganger is one of many characters you can play as and the new trailer for the highlights why he is still awesome.
