July 25, 2023 7:09 pm in News

Blizzard has released Hearthstone update 27.0 this July 25, and this brings the Titans expansion into the game alongside a new in-game event and more! Read on for the official Hearthstone new update patch notes below.

Hearthstone Update 27.0 Patch Notes:

TITANS Are Making Their Way to Hearthstone!

Hearthstone’s next expansion, TITANS, is awakening in Hearthstone on August 1. The new 145-card expansion includes the new Titan and Forge keywords, Legendary Keepers, the returning Magnetic keyword, and more! See all the new cards in the official Card Library today. This is your last chance to get your Pre-Purchase bundle, only available until the expansion goes live next week!

With the launch of TITANS comes a new Rewards Track, with out-of-this-world cosmetics, XP boosts, cards, card packs, and a huge infusion of Gold! Check out our Rewards Track Refresh blog for details.

 

In-Game Event: Ulduar Grand Championship

Starting on August 3, vie for the favor of the Titans in a special in-game event, celebrating the launch of TITANS! From August 3 to August 22, complete Event Quests to earn Event XP on the special event rewards track. Complete the rewards track to earn 6 total packs (2 Standard Packs, 1 Golden Standard Pack, 1 Festival of Legends Pack, and 2 TITANS Packs) and a Death Knight Hero Skin!

New to Core: Paladin Auras

As part of our continued efforts to be more flexible with the Core Set throughout the year, two new cards are being added to Paladin’s Core Set with Patch 27.0.

The Auras have an effect that lasts for a few turns after you play the card. These two cards will be automatically added to the free Core Set with Patch 27.0. There is also one more Aura card in the TITANS set that can be obtained through all normal means once the expansion is live. We plan to continue exploring this design space for Paladin in future expansions as well.

 

Battlegrounds Updates

New Quest Rewards

  • Turbulent Tombs: Add [a specified “Deathrattle” minion] to your hand. Your Deathrattles trigger an extra time.

  • Gilnean War Horn: Add [a specified “Battlecry” minion] to your hand. Your Battlecries trigger an extra time.

Quest Reward Updates

  • The following Quest Rewards are now more difficult to earn:
    • Endless Blood Moon; Sturdy Shard; Volatile Venom; Doppelganger’s Locket; Hidden Treasure Vault
  • The following Quest Rewards are now easier to earn:
    • Boom Squad; Map of the Unknown; Ice Sickle; Bloodsoaked Tome; Snicker Snacks; Scepter of Guidance; Timeline Acceleration; Ritual Dagger; Anima Bribe; Mirror Shield

Hero Armor Updates

The following heroes now have less Armor:

  • Cariel Roame now has 6 Armor
  • Chenvaala now has 15 Armor at higher ratings, still has 12 Armor at lower ratings

The following heroes now have more Armor:

  • Trade Prince Gallywix now has 8 Armor at higher ratings; still has 10 Armor at lower ratings
  • Queen Wagtoggle now has 13 Armor at higher ratings; still has 7 Armor at lower ratings

Minion Update

Bristleback Knight

  • Old (regular): Windfury, Divine Shield. Frenzy: Gain Divine Shield.
  • New (regular): Windfury. Divine Shield. The first time this survives damage, gain Divine Shield.
  • New (golden): Windfury. Divine Shield. The first two times this survives damage, gain Divine Shield.
  • Dev Comment: This is a word change update for clarity, since this was the only card in Battlegrounds using the Frenzy keyword. There is no functional change to the normal version, but the Golden version is now stronger.

Wording Updates

Text-only updates have been made in several instances across Battlegrounds for consistency and better templating: “Tavern Tier” has been shortened to “Tier”; “Bob’s Tavern” has been changed to “the Tavern”; “add to your hand” has been shortened to “get”; and “minion type” has been shortened to “type” when “minion” has already been previously mentioned in the text. None of these changes are gameplay-impacting changes.

Duels Updates

Season Update

On July 25, the current Duels season will end, ratings will be reset, and current runs will be concluded. At that time, Ashes of Outland will be added to deckbuilding and card pool offerings. TITANS will also become available for all card pools at that time, but will not be available for initial deckbuilding until the launch of the expansion on August 1.

Hero Pool Update

Diablo is no longer in the eligible hero pool.

Card Pool Update

  • Rattlegore is no longer banned from all card pools.
  • Mo’arg Artificer and Kael’thas Sunstrider are now banned from all card pools.
  • The following cards do not appear in card buckets and can’t be Discovered or randomly generated: Akama, Bulwark of Azzinoth, Incanter’s Flow, and all 11 “Titan” minions.

Arena Updates

On July 25, with Patch 27.0, all current Arena runs will end and a new Arena season will begin. The eligible sets will rotate so that the following sets will make up the Arena card pool:

  • Core
  • Saviors of Uldum
  • Ashes of Outland
  • Madness at the Darkmoon Faire
  • March of the Lich King
  • Path of Arthas
  • Festival of Legends
  • TITANS

Enter the Arena to play the new TITANS cards before the expansion launches!

Twist Beta Ending Soon

The current Twist Beta is coming to an end at the end of this season, at the end of the day on July 31. After the Beta ends, Twist will be temporarily unavailable while we prepare for the formal launch. Thank you all for trying out this new Mode and giving your feedback!

Twist is scheduled to formally launch on September 1, with a new format and a fun surprise. Stay tuned for more details closer to launch.

  • [Battlegrounds] Fixed a bug where if you have both Secret Sinstone and Another Hidden Body Quest Rewards, Secret Sinstone would not trigger off of Another Hidden Body’s effect.
  • [Solo Adventures] Fixed a bug where players were unable to purchase Dalaran Heist chapters 2-5 with Gold.
  • [Solo Adventures] Fixed a bug where clicking on the rewards preview in the One Night in Karazhan Adventure could cause a crash.

Armored Core 6 Game Length Reported at 50-60 Hours, Longer Than Any Other Numbered AC Game

  by   Carlos Perez  
6:35 pm in News

Armored Core 6, Japanese developer FromSoftware’s upcoming sci-fi mech game, will apparently be 50 to 60 hours long. This makes Armored Core 6’s game length comparably longer than other Armored Core entries.

The information was revealed in an Armored Core 6 video preview by Fextralife, According to the video, in the three hours that they were able to play Armored Core 6, they were able to finish the game’s first 11 missions, which also included a boss battle. While this may imply that Armored Core 6 will contain over a hundred missions to complete, it’s also possible that the overall mission length will increase as time goes on.

For reference, here’s the game length for all other numbered Armored Core games, taken from HowLongToBeat:

Armored Core

  • Main Story – 8 Hours
  • Main + Sides – 9 Hours
  • Completionist – 12½ Hours

Armored Core 2

  • Main Story – 11½ Hours
  • Main + Sides – 13 Hours
  • Completionist – 14½ Hours

Armored Core 3

  • Main Story – 12½ Hours
  • Main + Sides – 17 Hours
  • Completionist – 20 Hours

Armored Core 4

  • Main Story – 8½ Hours
  • Main + Sides – 11½ Hours
  • Completionist – 17 Hours

Armored Core V

  • Main Story – 12½ Hours
  • Main + Sides – 20½ Hours
  • Completionist – 41 Hours

While Armored Core 5 is much longer than its predecessors at 41 hours for completionists, Armored Core 6 clocks in with at least 10 hours more, and we’re still not sure if that game length is for completionists or just for the main story.

You can watch the full video where the info was revealed below:

Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon launches this August 25 on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.

Texas Chain Saw Massacre: Devs Looking Into “More Traditional DLC” Plans Rather Than a Battle Pass

  by   Alex Co  
5:39 pm in News

If you assumed that The Texas Chain Saw Massacre multiplayer game by Gun Interactive will feature a Battle Pass, which seems to be the norm for online multiplayer games these days, you’re in for a surprise, as the devs’ post-launch plans does not include that.

Speaking to MP1st, Gun Interactive confirmed that instead of a Battle Pass, the studio is looking into a “more traditional DLC” plan.

MP1st: Will we be getting the traditional Battle Pass micro-transaction model that’s in almost all multiplayer games these days?

A: We’ve discussed this internally. There’s pros and cons to that model. As of right now we’re looking at a more traditional DLC plan without a pass.

For those unaware, the Battle Pass monetization initiative has been the most popular choice these days when it comes to online games, and has been widely used by the Call of Duty franchise, Diablo 4, and more. With Gun Interactive’s more traditional approach, this sounds like the studio is looking to sell DLC packs for characters, levels and whatnot more, which — depending on who you ask — can be either a good or bad thing.

The Texas Chain Saw Massacre will be released this August 18 on the PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and PC. Stay tuned to our full interview hitting the site soon.

Quantum Error: PS4 Version Canceled, PC Version Planned, Release Date Announcement “Very Soon”

  by   Carlos Perez  
5:03 pm in News

It looks like Quantum Error, the horror first-person shooter title by TeamKill Media, won’t be getting a PS4 version anymore, though a PC version seems to be in the works. Quantum Error’s PS4 version was scrapped as it required too much work in downgrading and changing assets, among other things.

The statement comes a few months after the devs stated that they would not sacrifice the PS5 version of the game to bring it to PS4. Here’s the full tweet from the official Quantum Error Twitter account:

A couple of replies to comments in the tweet also reveal a couple of things. Firstly, a PC version of Quantum Error is being worked on, though the devs don’t have a solid timeline for it just yet.

Another reply also revealed that an Xbox One version of the game was never in the works, which meant that the game would only be available via the PS4 for last-gen consoles had it been continued.

Finally, when asked about a release date for Quantum Error, the account replied that there would be one announced “very soon.”

Quantum Error will now be available on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S with a possible PC port post-launch.

Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 Venom’s Design Approved by Character’s Co-Creator

  by   Carlos Perez  
4:12 pm in News

Todd McFarlane, co-creator of the character Venom from the Marvel comics, seems to like Insomniac Games’ rendition of the symbiote. McFarlane shared his thoughts on Marvel’s Spider-Man 2’s Venom and how he looked in the latest trailer.

You can find the interview below for reference.

McFarlane commented on Venom’s look in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, such as his size. “I intentionally made him bigger than an average superhero,” McFarlane commented. “If you now put an average person, he’s at least 20, 30, 40, 50% bigger than an average person, even Iron Man, then I go, ‘Yes, for me, that’s a giant point.'”

McFarlane also commented on Venom’s teeth, saying that he liked its more natural, uneven design. “I like it when the teeth aren’t all lined up and they look like these are like monster teeth,” he stated. “Because animal teeth, they don’t go to dentists, so they don’t straighten out their teeth. I actually like that they made a big bold spider on him, way bolder than the one that I’d put on him.”

When asked about Venom’s tongue, McFarlane revealed that the design was done by Erik Larsen, another designer for Venom, and not him. “I give credit to the tongue to Erik Larsen, he was the guy that followed me,” McFarlane admitted, “Honestly, I’m not much of a tongue guy.” While he didn’t have a very strong opinion on whether he liked Venom’s tongue or not, he did say that combined with the jagged teeth, Venom looked very “vicious” in the trailer and that he didn’t come “to play nice.”

As a final interesting tidbit, McFarlane also revealed that he originally designed Venom without knowledge of Eddie Brock, but the design ended up staying around anyway. Here’s the full quote:

When I created [Venom], the black costume existed, so I just went, ‘Oh, [it] comes from some alien planet, so I’m just gonna make this big hulking gorilla guy and he’s gonna look like an alien with claws and teeth and all his weird stuff. And then later the writer says, ‘Oh, it’s gonna be Eddie Brock.’ Information I coulda used earlier, right? But then they had approved the design and I go ‘I don’t wanna change it.’ If they can do Bruce Banner to Hulk, why can’t they do Eddie Brock to Venom? So it was like, ‘Let’s just keep it, and somehow he just gets swallowed up in it and whatever else’ and we were able to do it, but I think they did a nice job on making him feel like a monster. To me, I’m a big monster fan, so…

The video ended with McFarlane giving the design his own seal of approval, saying that he’d rather play as Venom over “that skinny Peter Parker dude.”

Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 swings out this October 20 exclusively on the PS5.

Report: Assassin’s Creed Red Release Planned for 2024

  by   Vitor Braz  
2:38 pm in News

Ubisoft is finally answering the call of many Assassin’s Creed fans by taking the series to feudal Japan. With Assassin’s Creed Red (currently a codename and subject to change), the series should see a major jump from the previous games, including 2020’s Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla, while shaping up the future of the franchise with the goal of delivering the best open-world RPG games.

While the details are scarce and many players were expecting Assassin’s Creed Red to be very early in development, again by the skilled hands of Ubisoft Quebec, it turns out that the release date could in fact be pinned down for 2024. At least, this is what can be gathered by the words of Arisa Lagunzad, responsible for Business Development & Brand Partnership at Ubisoft. Her statement can be found on a LinkedIn post that you can see below.

Assassin's Creed Red Release Planned for 2024

The post doesn’t directly imply an Assassin’s Creed Codename Red release date for 2024, but it’s easy to assume that much is planned. However, take it with a grain of salt until an official confirmation from Ubisoft arrives in the near future. The other game detailed as part of this new Assassin’s Creed Infinity philosophy for the series is called Assassin’s Creed Hexe and is rumored to unfold in Central Europe during the 16th century.

Before the release of Assassin’s Creed Codename Red we are going to get Assassin’s Creed Mirage. Set in Baghdad and said to be inspired by the direction of the game that kickstarted the franchise, and is out this Oct. 12 on the PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and PC.

The Callisto Protocol Update 1.027 for July 25 Crawls Out (Update)

  by   Alex Co  
1:20 pm in News

Striking Distance has released The Callisto Protocol update 1.027 and it’s a rather hefty download. Given we already got the final piece of DLC, don’t expect much from this outside of fixes. Read on for what’s new in The Callisto Protocol patch notes for July 25.

The Callisto Protocol Update 1.027 Patch Notes | The Callisto Protocol New Update Patch Notes for July 25:

Size: 12GB (PS5)

Update: Striking Distance has released the official patch notes.

GLOBAL

  • Fixed some instances where New Game+ manual saves were not generated after completing the base game.

So far, Striking Distance has not released any patch notes just yet, nor has there been any acknowledgement of the title update. This isn’t surprising, as the studio usually releases the patch notes after the download has been pushed out on all platforms.

Once that changes within the day, we’ll update the article to reflect the proper patch notes. So make sure to refresh this article from time to time.

Update: Patch notes have been added.

12:34 pm in News

Visual Concepts has released WWE 2K23 update 1.15 (PS5 version 1.015) and this is an unannounced title update that should bring in another round of fixes to the wrestling sim. Read on for what’s new in the WWE 2K23 patch notes for July 25.

WWE 2K23 Update 1.15 Patch Notes | WWE 2K23 Update 1.015 Patch Notes | WWE 2K23 July 25 Patch Notes:

Size: 39GB (PC)

Unfortunately, Visual Concepts has not released anything regarding today’s title update. While we want to say that will change within the day, the studio does have a background of not detailing just what is in some of their title updates.

Most likely this is a bug fix that wasn’t included in the patch released last week. The community hasn’t chimed in with any fixes either, but we’re on the lookout and if we spot any changes, we’ll update the article with the info.

If you spot anything that got changed or fixed, leave a comment below and let us know.

Starfield Animated Anthology “The Settled System” Released

  by   Ibrahim Kabir  
11:27 am in News

Bethesda Game Studios has launched an animated anthology to help players learn more about the people and cultures of Starfield. Starfield Animated Anthology, The Settled Systems is broken into three parts that cover the three major cities in the game.

You can find all three parts of the Starfield Animated Anthology below with descriptions:

Supra Et Ultra:

In the city of New Atlantis, capital of the United Colonies, a courier pilot named Kent aspires to live in the most desirable part of the Settled Systems. After joining the UC Vanguard and working his way up to the Capital’s elite, Kent quickly realizes the adventures waiting for him off-planet are what he truly longed for.

Vanna (Where Hope is Built):

Vanna—an Akila City orphan of the famous Colony Wars—desperately wants to explore the stars, and only one thing is standing in her way: a working ship. Her search for repair parts leads her throughout the city, and into some unexpected danger, as she closes in on her dream.

Neon (The Hand that Feeds):

Two Neon street rats, Ada and Harper, are partners in crime eking out a living stealing from the wealthy partygoers that come to the “pleasure city” to let loose. When Ada is forced into a moral dilemma, she quickly catches the attention of the all-seeing Ryujin industries, bringing her an exciting new opportunity. But at what cost?

Starfield launches on September 6 for Xbox Series X|S and PC. Like every other Xbox first-party title, Starfield can be played on day one with Xbox Game Pass. If you’re hoping to get your hands on the game a bit earlier, you can pre-order either the premium or Constellation edition, which will grant you five days of early access. You can find more about the different editions and their contents in this article.

Exoprimal Surpasses One Million Players, Offers Free Skywave Skin

  by   Vitor Braz  
11:02 am in News

Capcom seems to be quite proud of the performance from Exoprimal, their latest PvPvE online shooter. Over one million players have been charmed by these futuristic wargames where they cooperate and compete across several game modes, guided by an AI that may or may not have some ulterior motives. To celebrate this milestone and hope for even better times, they are giving away a free Skywave skin when the next update drops on August 16.

Skywave is a support-class Exosuit, one out of the ten available at the time of launch. This is one of the go-to suits if you prefer to take a healer role in your party and leave the heavy damage to other players. Still, Exoprimal allows on-the-fly class switch, so you can select any other suit even during a match. With the new free skin, you may have an incentive to give Skywave a more attentive look if you haven’t already.

Released in July 14, Exoprimal managed to surpass initial suspicions by delivering a relentless take on the genre with the innovative twist of having hordes of dinosaurs as your foes. The community wasn’t entirely pleased with the asking price, saying that it was a bit on the high side, but ultimately the game managed to attract a commendable player base. Our Exoprimal review will tell you all you need to know about it, including the fact that this shooter has plenty of room to grow and could gain with the addiction of more “pure” PvE modes.

In the meantime, some Capcom fans are dying to hear any news on another IP featuring dinosaurs, Dino Crisis. However, apart from keeping the trademark alive way back in 2019, there are no other details pointing in the direction of a new Dino Crisis sequel or remake… for now?
