(Image credit: Blizzard) Can you believe Hearthstone turns ten this year?

This week, Blizzard released a slew of announcements about what to expect from what it has…

Ahead of next year’s 10th anniversary for Hearthstone, initial design lead Cora Georgiou took to the stage at BlizzCon today to reveal what’s coming next for both the standard game mode and its (arguably more popular) Battlegrounds spin-off.

Destiny 2: Lightfall launch trailer finally shows The Traveller and The Witness kicking the crap out of each other
[ad_1] There’s an iconic moment in the movie Apocalypse Now when Robert Duvall’s character surveys the chaos and carnage around him and ruefully says “someday, this war’s gonna end.” That’s roughly where I am on the Destiny 2: Lightfall prelease schedule, bombarded daily by massive screeds detailing new features, but also very much enjoying the…

[ad_1] “Don’t worry, you guys got this!” The Traveller was fixing to give Earth the ol’ Irish Goodbye.

[ad_1] The new Strand abilities will help you get out of sticky situations in Destiny 2: Lightfall.

by
[ad_1] There’s less than a month to go until the launch of Lightfall, and my girlfriend is already furious that we’re having to plan our apartment move around its release date.

Whoops! The latest Destiny 2 hotfix deleted a bunch of incredibly hard-to-earn achievements
[ad_1] (Image credit: Bungie) ‘Shadow’. ‘Conqueror’. ‘King-Slayer’. These are things absolutely nobody will ever actually call me, but I proudly display all three on my guardians when playing Destiny 2.
