Borderlands Online developer Gearbox and 2K finally announced that Battleborn, the new first-person shooter, will be released globally on February 9, 2016. Battleborn will be landed on multiple platform, including PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC. There will be an open beta prior to the official release. Meanwhile, four new playable heroes were also revealed during this week's Gamescom, including Ambra, Mellka, Reyna, and Benedict.. 



Four new characters:

Ambra
Born into an ancient order of priestesses responsible for discovering a way to prolong life indefinitely, Ambrawas betrayed by her leader and her faction, the Jennerit Empire, and now fights alongside the Battleborn. She is a specialist hero, dealing damage up close through her melee attacks and powerful abilities, while healing her allies in the process.

Mellka
A stealthy assassin, Mellka lost her parents at a young age before eventually earning her place among the Eldrid’s black op’s and intelligence bureau. Her life has been defined by a series of staggering losses, but her response to these losses was never despair – it was fury. She strikes quickly, disorienting foes with her nerve gas machine pistol and bio-glaive melee attacks.

Reyna
Known by her followers as “The Valkyrie,” Reyna was born aboard the Rogue faction’s ailing junk heap of a flagship and is a native to the last star system. Reyna has fought tirelessly for the freedom of her space pirate comrades, finding her calling as their inspirational leader. She dishes damage with her laser pistol and uses her command glove to support her teammates.

Benedict
August Benedict Jr. is one of several surviving races of bird-like “Aviant” refugees. He swore allegiance to the Peacekeepers where he’s gained considerable notoriety for being a self-centered jerk that’s capable of astounding destruction with his rocket launcher. Double jumping, rocket jumping, and flying – Benedict’s good at all of them and he lets his teammates know it.

The announcement of Wolrd of Warcraft’s 6th expansion Legion brings back iconic villain Illidan, who seems to be revived by Gul’dan according to the Gamescom cenematic teaser. How does that happen and what excactly Illidan is up for in this expansion? We interviewed J. Allen Brack, Executive Producer and asked details of the story as well as new class Demon Hunter.


 
Is Illidan your enemy or ally, or both?



In Warlord of Draenor players manage to destroy the Dark Portal. Gul’dan travels to the present Azeroth and finds Illidan. Illidan has been killed in The Burning Legion and this doesn’t change in Legion. However, Illidan in The Burning Legion is more of a demon than a night elf. Demon is a very different form of being in WoW universe, and therefore, unlike normal life, Illidan can come back to life in certain way. You will learn how this happen in Legion.
 
We were told that we’ll see whether Illidan was an enemy or an ally as the story moved on. One thing is certain, according to Brack, that Illidan remembers he’s defeated by players in the Black Temple and he’s not forgiving them. As for whether we will face off against the villains in The Burning Legion, such as Sargeras,Brack said he couldn’t say anything at the moment. He did tease that Sylvanas will be an important character in Legion.
 
 
Emerald Dream remains a raid for now
 


Emerald Dream is a vastspirit world that co-exists with the physical world. Many players ask to make Emerald Dreama campaign world even an expansion. Brack said in the future, they might do that like allowing players to explore and do quests in that world.
 
 
Demon Hunter could be available in more races; Demon Hunter doesn’t start at level 1
 


Currently only Night Elf and Blood Elf can play as Demon Hunter but more races could play this class in the future. Besides, Demon Hunter doesn’t start at level 1 but which level to start with is still to be decided.

Whether it’s a tank or DPS, Demon Hunter will be highly agile and mobile. Brack said Demon Hunter is for players who like moving fast and dealing large amount of damage. As for tank, Demon Hunter can absorb damage and has an ability to transfer the damge he/she deals to health. In PvP Demon Hunter takes advantage of the agility. Of course the opponents have the ability to deal with it.
 
In the videos and images released in Gamesom, Demon Hunter wields the Twin Blades. Brack said it wasn’t the same to the legendary Twin Blades. All weapons are qualified for transmog and there will be more possibilities in the Legion expansion.
 
Other details
 
With double jump, Demon Hunter can reach many spots the other classes can’t.
 
Class Order is unlocked through collecting legendary items. It’s to be decided whether Alliance and Horde will have different Class Order.
 
Players can unlock flying in WoD by completing certain quests. Whether this mechanism will be carried to Legion is still in discussion.

At gamescom 2015, Blizzard reveals a new hero Lucio and two new battlegrounds Volskaya Industries and Numbani for its team based FPS Overwatch. We had the opportunity to sit down with Michael Chu, the senior game producer of Overwatch, and talk about the new contents and other gameplay details.
 
How to play at two maps: Volskaya Industries and Numbani



According to Michael Chu, Volskaya Industries is a Point Capture map located near St. Petersburg, Russia - manufacturing center responsible for producing massive, human-piloted mechs which help protect the local population. The mechanism in this map is Point Capture - the offensive team goal is to capture critical objectives, while the defenders must maintain control over them until time runs out.
 
Unlike Volskaya Industries, Numbani is the most developed city in the future world, in which human and robot coexist peacefully. In this map, One team must escort Doomfist’s gauntlet as it travels to the Numbani Heritage Museum , while the defenders must fight to stop this weapon from reaching its the aforementioned destination.
 
Now there are three map objectives in Overwatch: Payload, Point capture and both. The Overwatch Dev team is looking for more interesting map objective, but in current phase only these three objectives are available.
 
Similar to Sona in League of Legends, new hero Lucio uses his music to fight


 
Lucio is a support hero in Overwatch, and he can use cutting-edge Sonic Amplifier buffets enemies with projectiles and knocks foes back with blasts of sound. He also plays two different songs—one to heal his team and the other to boost their movement speed—and uses his Crossfade technique to switch between them at will.
 
In Overwatch, every hero's abilities are designed to be effective as part of a team. It's obvious to find out that Offense, Defense and Support roles in Overwatch, but as for Tank role, it seems that they don't have distinctive features.
 


Michael took Reinhardt as an example to introduce Tank's role in a team. When you are too close to Reinhardt, he can deal great amounts of damage. Moreover, Reinhardt can project a broad, forward-facing energy shield to protect himself and his companions behind the shield, therefore you have to consider how to deal with it.
 
As a team-based game, the line-ups is very important, and this is also the difference from other FPS games. When it comes to the update frequency for heroes and maps, Michael Chu said it's too early to think about this question, and they are focus on polishing the game.
 
No Weapon Switching; Cosmetic changes Maybe Available


 
When it comes to FPS games, weapon switching and cosmetic changes are two major stuff which make people curious to know. The answer is no weapon switching since in Overwatch each hero has an unique weapon. As for cosmetic changes, Blizzard hasn't completely denied. Now Overwatch is on Battle.net launcher, and Closed Beta will start at this fall, so it won't be too long before we can play Blizzard new FPS game.

LGD (2) vs. Vici Gaming (1)
 
This was a set that many fans were anticipating; LGD, one of the favorites to win the tournament led by legendary captain xiao8 against Vici Gaming, the team that had made it all the way through the lower bracket on a hot streak. With Chinese teams involved, there’s always a bloodbath, but this set was one of the bloodiest of the tournament so far. Reports by GetJinxt.
 
Game 1



Game one, Vici really showed that they still had enough juice to continue to the lower bracket final. After a shaky early laning phase, a 5-1 team fight under their own mid T1 started a huge snowball in the favor of VG. With continual pickoffs from VG carry Hao on Queen of Pain and offlaner iceiceice on Clockwerk, VG continued to pressure the Radiant jungle and make LGD fearful to farm.



After Hao managed to pick up a rampage in a team fight that initially looked good for LGD, VG was able to take a Roshan and another favorable fight immediately afterward. A final push toward the bottom rax resulted in a 5-0 team fight for VG, and an immediate gg call at 31 minutes to continue the VG win streak.
 


Game 2

Game two was the result of a pretty bad draft from VG. That said, things were fairly even until a 4-0 team fight win for LGD around 15 minutes, which they soon translated into the first Roshan. A final push into the middle rax resulted in another team wipe for VG and a gg at just 26 minutes.


 
Game 3



The final game was the longest of the set, but it was still very decisive. LGD ran a similar line-up as the previous game, featuring their offlaner Yao on Tusk, support xiao8 on Earthshaker, and mid laner Maybe on Shadow Fiend. A composition like this makes picks pretty easy, and has a lot of control in team fights with the Ice Shards and Fissures into a Requiem of Souls. The MVP of the match was definitely xiao8; his constant Fissure block ganks made both of his carries begin to pull ahead of their lane opponents; Vici didn’t get their first kill until nearly 10 minutes in. Despite Hao’s attempts to split push on Phantom Lancer, his team was just unable to survive the ramp up time for his hero to come online. After a final Roshan, LGD barreled down the middle lane, taking both the mid and bottom rax and getting multiple diebacks. The gg was called at 44 minutes.


 
This was a pretty one-sided affair in both of the second games. It almost seemed that VG were too nervous to perform, picking weird drafts and making simple errors repeatedly. However, LGD showed the mental fortitude to come back after an absolutely crushing defeat in game one. They will go on to face EG tomorrow in the lower bracket final.

During The International 2015’s all-star match, it was announced that the game would be 10v10; even better, this mode will soon be available for all thanks to the new Dota 2 custom games. Custom games will be able to hold up to 24 players; this feature will be available next week.
 


For the match at hand, five pros would team up with five audience members in an epic brawl. Team ChuaN consisted of Mushi from Fnatic, Hao from Vici, Puppey from Secret, Fear from EG, and Ferrari from iG; Team NoTail consisted of Arteezy from Team Secret, BurNing from iG, xiao8 from LGD, iceiceice from Vici, and Suma1L from EG, along with five audience members per team. Even better, a Pudge cosplayer chosen to participate on Team NoTail turned out to be Dendi himself!


 
Arteezy and Suma1L’s Tiny throws into Techies mines was certifiably overpowered; not even a Dendi Pudge was able to carry hard enough for Team ChuaN. The game culminated in an epic defense of Team NoTail’s bare ancient with just one hit left; several Divine Rapiers changed hands multiple times, but Team NoTail managed to pull it out after defending from a few rat attempts.

Final day of The International kicked off with Lower Bracket Finals between Evil Geniuses and LGD Gaming. The battle between East and West, where the winner was given the chance to face CDEC once more in the Grand Finals.

Both teams started off really cautiously, banning opponent’s most successful heroes. The only surprises in the drafting stage were EG´s Enigma and LGD´s support Silencer. The Enigma pick paid off early in the game, as Kurtis Daniel ‘Aui_2000’ Ling helped Syed ‘Suma1L’ Hassan´s Lina on the mid lane in taking the First Blood. The early game was full of skirmishes all over the map. LGD were a bit more successful, using Global Silence to secure the kills. As it often happens, one of the heroes capitalizes on these skirmishes, and this time it was Clinton ‘Fear’ Loomis with Phantom Lancer, as he was farming very efficiently. In the first huge team fight, EG managed to outplay LGD and the trades they made were absolutely in their favor.  Suma1L also grabbed an Ultra Kill with his Lina. Even though EG gained advantage, LGD managed to keep up and the game was still even with 14-14 score 30 minutes in.

Roshan fights can often decide the game and this game could've been a perfect example. EG went for Roshan, LGD contested and got wiped. Due to hero advantage EG took first T3 tower. When they took the tower, they lost a few heroes trying to pull back, but the damage has already been done. The way this game was progressing, one great team fight from any side would be a game winner. EG took the initiative and started to push LGD´ s base. They were successful and took two lanes of barracks along with LGD´s heroes. LGD countered with buybacks, took down EG cores and tried to hold in this game. Unfortunately for them, EG were too far ahead.

One last fight broke out in Radiant jungle with EG just destroying LGD. Realizing there was no coming back, LGD called ”gg”. EG were now one win away from Grand Finals.

LGD once again gave up Leshrac in the drafting phase. It worked for LGD yesterday versus VP, but EG hoped that they could use it better. Along with Leshrac, they picked Fear´s Clinkz and LGD went with proven Shadow Fiend-Gyrocopter. First Blood happened really early with Zhang ‘xiao8’ Ning´s rotation on mid lane. The early game was one more action packed, with a lot of rotations and kills. It was almost a kill per minute in first 10 minutes of the game. This time it was EG who gained the advantage. They kept on building their lead going into mid game and Fear was just killing LGD´s heroes one by one. LGD tried their best to stop EG and they were pretty successful in doing so. They managed to win a couple of team fights and stopped the potential EG snowball. Probably the best move of the game happened in 26th minute.

Lei ‘MMY’ Zengrong stole Winter's Curse and on the back of that LGD destroyed EG in the mid lane. After that fight, the game slowed down and both teams focused on their farm.
Fighting next to Roshan was once again fatal for LGD. Even though they managed to take Aegis and Cheese it didn't help them at all.

EG destroyed them on their way back to base and took first lane of barracks. At that point it was only the matter of time when EG is going to finish. They went to top lane few minutes later, destroyed LGD once more and secured the Grand Finals.

There's nothing better than new legendary cards in Hearthstone, and the upcoming expansion apparently has lots of them! Two more class legendaries from The Grand Tournament have been revealed, and we're taking a much closer look at both cards. 

If you love playing as a Rogue or Druid, you'll have two nifty new cards you can start experimenting with as soon as The Grand Tournament is released. Check them out below, and be sure to read my thoughts on their viability in competitive constructed play. 



Aviana is the new Druid class legendary, and she's got one of the craziest effects in the entire game. When she's on the board, every single minion in your hand will have its cost reduce to only 1 mana. That means you can instantly play any minion on turn 10 with a free 5/5 body attached in Aviana. If that wasn't enough, keeping this card alive for a turn gives you the ultimate tempo advantage, allowing you to unload every single minion in your hand at once. If you're able to combo this card with an Innervate or coin, you could get some crazy results on turn 9 or 10. It will be very interesting to see this card's presence in control-style decks like Ramp Druid, because it could be insanely good at sealing the deal on long games by providing unstoppable board presence. 



As exciting as Aviana is for Druids, Anub'arak might be equally disappointing for Rogues. Anub'arak is a very expensive minion with an unfavorable stat allocation and a delayed effect. Those are three huge negatives, and a bad sign for this card's potential on the ranked ladder. It's far too easy to kill, and even with its deathrattle, a 4/4 as late as turn 9 isn't going to win you games. Your opponent just has to remove 8 points of health for 9 mana or less, and they're back on a level playing field. The tempo loss each turn if you keep playing Anub'arak would allow them to pull ahead and win before you can extract enough value. The only kind of deck I can see this card working in is a Mill Rogue that wants to extend their board presence without drawing deeper into their deck. They could basically just play Anub'arak on cycle to stay in the game while draining their opponent's resources.  

Opening up a legendary is one of the best feelings in all of gaming. I think I'd be over the moon to bust open an Aviana and start testing her. I'll be a little disappointed if I get an Anub'arak and have to leave him unplayed. And who knows, maybe there will be other cards in The Grand Tournament which unlock cool synergies and make these two cards even cooler!

Blizzard has just announced that the StarCraft Medic will be added to its team-based MOBA Heroes of the Storm as a support character at Gamescom during a live-streamed presentation.


 
The Medic is a terran unit that can heal friendly biological ground units. In Heroes of the Storm, Medic is a dedicated support character who focused on single target healing, and she can use Grenades to "disrupt" the battlefield. Her Heroic will enable her to summon and board the Medivac vehicle, which can then transport her to any point on the map. For more details about the upcoming changes, watch the video below.

And finally, we’ve arrived at the Grand Finals of The International 2015. This year, one of the tournament favorites Evil Geniuses will battle the surprise Wildcard contenders CDEC, who were undefeated in the main event. With the odds behind this newcomer, how will EG hold up to the pressure?
 
Game 1



Game one saw strong drafts from each side, with a Spirit Breaker and Queen of Pain to create pressure for Phantom Lancer to farm on CDEC’s side, while EG wanted early fights with a Gyrocopter, Skywrath Mage, and Clockwerk combo. Despite a 0-3 start for EG’s mid laner Suma1L on Storm Spirit, he actually got the fastest Orchid timing a the main event so far, picking up kills left and right while the supports stacked for him.



He was able to exert pressure across the map with the help of his offlaner Universe on Clockwerk. Eventually, EG pushed into the CDEC base and took two rax after a team wipe, and the gg was called soon after at 34 minutes.

Game 2


 
The second game, CDEC struck back. With the final pick of Broodmother for Xz in the offlane, EG tried to set up a trilane to counter him. However, when he went mid, Suma1L on Windrunner was completely caught unaware.



He was unable to push the spider back to base and lacked any major presence in the game. Despite a few messed up smoke ganks from CDEC, the game was in their hands for the most part and an easy gg from EG came out at 39 minutes.
 
Game 3



With the match tied up at 1-1, game three would have a lot of tension; the victor of this game would be only one more away from winning TI5. The most interesting hero of this draft was the pickup of Slark for CDEC’s carry Agressif. With a somewhat unusual Slark build, he was able to do fairly well and get tanky enough to dip in and out of fights as the hero is wont to do; however, the rest of his team simply didn’t live long enough to be able to help him out. The Aui_2000 Skywrath Mage and Universe Clockwerk combinations utterly decimated CDEC, and Fear’s Gyrocopter and Suma1L’s Ember Spirit were able clean up. CDEC called game three after a long back-and-forth at 59 minutes.
 
Game 4



Potentially game point, and Evil Geniuses were up against CDEC 2-1. Both teams went with comfort picks, but CDEC let multiple EG signature heroes like Storm Spirit and Naga Siren get through. CDEC themselves did get Phantom Lancer and Dragon Knight in return, but almost immediately it was clear that EG had gotten a bit more bang for their buck. They roamed early, and they roamed hard.



EG were able to secure a Roshan after catching CDEC completely off-guard with a counter smoke gank; after that, it was all downhill for them. CDEC were able to hold out for another ten minutes or so thanks to the strength of Agressif on Phantom Lancer, but nearly everyone else had been smashed into the ground. They finally called the last game at 39 minutes.


 
With this final victory, EG claimed the Aegis and became the winners of TI5 (and a huge chunk of change). EG’s superior drafting and calmness of mind helped them persevere even when they started out on the wrong foot in a game. Suma1L and Fear both fulfilled the role of carry superbly; Universe, Aui_2000, and pdd were able to support and tank till the end.They are the first American team to win, and are the recipients of the largest amount of tournament prize money in eSports history. Congratulations to Evil Geniuses!

With a successful presence at E3 2015, Seasun Entertainment (developer of JX Online 3, one of the most popular martial arts MMO in China) brings their flagship mobile game Relics of Gods, stepping on the land of Europe for Gamescom 2015. Compared with E3, Seasun has a bigger stage at Gamescom — like a round arena where the live competition is broadcasted in the center.
 



 
Liu Xi, project head of Relics of Gods and an old friend of 2P, walks us through what the game has in store for gamescom. We learn that the game will soft launch in several countries this fall.

Relics of Gods has become an award-winning mobile game since E3 2015. (Related: 2P exclusive E3 2015 interview with Liu Xi)
 
 

What’s new for Relics of Gods at gamescom

The new login screen (upper image) is much more beautiful than the old version. The pause screen (lower images) shows an epic statue 360 degree with a spinning camera


Being the first game dedicated for western market, Relics of Gods’ PC and console versions are confirmed in development. The gameplay of Relics of Gods revolves around heroes and the game could have more features based on it, such as RPG. Unlike many Chinese mobile games that have very short development time, Seasun who is honored Chinese Blizzard, holds the philosophy of providing the best quality games to gamers. Therefore, Seasun’s game may have longer period of development and marketing but they never let players down.

Beautiful art and musics
 
Great musics and visuals bring a game to life and Seasun knows it. In Relics of Gods, they have put lots of effort and worked with the best team to ensure the best visual and aural experience. (Related: Star Wars Music Composer Working on the Music for New MMO Relics of Gods）
 

The basics of Relics of Gods
 
Relics of Gods has many features but it mainly focuses on 3v3 matched PvP, story mode, and epic mode. In story mode players can learn every hero’s story through dozens of levels. Epic mode is a huge senario with cinematics, QTE actions, loot, and other content. In this mode there are many distinct bosses, each of which can only be defeated with particular strategy.

It’s worht mentioning that the story of Relics of Golds offers those who love fantasy world a deep and complicated universe. For instance the epic mode will gradually unveil a huge picture that starts with the fall of human kingdom.

According to a source close to the scene, Korean Dota may be getting a lot bigger this year.

After MVP.Phoenix’s impressive 7-8th place finish in The International 2015, major organizations within the Korean League of Legends scene will reportedly be acquiring rosters for Dota 2. They will apparently look to invest heavily and to get into Major tournaments soon.

“Because of good MVP performance during TI5…. they are all going to go [for it] now; these are all technically the biggest and richest LoL orgs,” said our source.

The list of interested teams and organizations includes KT Rolster, Samsung Galaxy, SKT Telecom T1, CJ Entus, JinAir Green Wings, NaJin Em-Fire, Incredible Miracle, and SBENU Sonic Boom.

We can only speculate how such a huge influx of not only money, but also professional coaches and championship infrastructure would affect the Dota 2 scene, but one thing is for sure; if these organizations do pick up Dota 2 teams, then we’ll likely be seeing a lot more Koreans at The International 2016.

The Company Hangame announced that the first closed beta test of the Japanese MMORPG Soul Worker will be held from 20 to 23 August. At this time, the game will need to recruit 15,000 test players. You can apply on the official website, but hurry up, because the reception will be open until August 11 (participants' names will be announced on August 14). And, unfortunately, blocking foreign IP-address is still working, so get into the PTA will be difficult. Don't forget to check out the new video dedicated to the new character in the Soul Worker - Stella Yuniberu (Howling Guitar). This guitarist will appear in the game at the stage of open beta.
