PVP Card games are ever-expanding beasts. As a game ages, if the creators properly support their content there will be a large influx of cards over the course of the years. One only has to look to the incredible library of cards available in industry behemoth Magic: The Gathering to get a sense of the massive scale some of these games can reach. Hearthstone is quickly becoming a leader in the virtual card game market, and each expansion adds over 100 cards to the game’s collection. With how random collecting the cards for Journey to Un’goro has been thus far, it can be hard to get a sense of how exactly decks built from this expansion’s cards play. This week’s Hearthstone Tavern Brawl seeks to give players a taste of how complete Journey to Un’Goro decks play for each class, a welcome addition for new and veteran players alike.

Every Wednesday in Hearthstone, the rules for the more light-hearted gameplay mode – Tavern Brawl – change to introduce new quirks and mechanics that add to the playstyle of the normal game. The Tavern Brawl quirks are varying and wide-reaching, ranging from changing how mana use and ability activation work to challenging players to compete with premade decks. This week’s Tavern Brawl follows the latter, tasking players with playing their way to victory with a variety of Journey to Un’Goro themed decks. Players simply choose a class and they’ll be provided with a Tavern Brawl exclusive deck that gives them a taste of the type of play styles available to each class with the addition of these new cards.

The class you choose while playing Hearthstone has a unique effect on the way you’ll build and play your deck, and the Journey to Un’Goro decks are no exception. As a Druid, stomp your way to victory with a Might of the Dino King deck. The Mage focuses on the elemental side of the expansion’s cards, which is to be expected, while the Hunter’s deck revolves around Dinomancy. The Rogue’s deck revolves around the recent “Quest” mechanic added, while the Warlock features the familiar “Discard Lock”. Check out a full deck list for each class at Hearthpwn.

I think it’s really cool that Blizzard is introducing a Tavern Brawl that lets players get a taste for what class and deck combination they most enjoy. While these decks are far from the only strategies available to build with the cards available from Journey to Un’Goro, they at least give players a glimpse of how Druid or Priest or Hunter will play with these, in many cases game-changing, cards. With how difficult it is to collect the cards without dumping hundreds of dollars, it makes sense to have a goal to shoot for before mindlessly crafting random cards.

Helldivers 2 proved to be a surprising success, highlighting the unpredictable nature of the gaming industry. As per Circana analyst Mat Piscatella, it currently ranks as Sony’s seventh highest grossing game in the United States to date, trailing behind a trio of Spider-Man titles, a couple of God of War games, and Ghost of Tsushima. It’s only been on the market for less than three months and is not even being sold at full price.

According to Piscatella, a significant factor contributing to the game’s success is its release on PC. He mentioned that, based on Circana’s Player Engagement Tracker, the game has consistently ranked first in terms of active users on Steam in the US since its launch, including April. The release of Helldivers 2 on both PlayStation and PC has been an extraordinary triumph.

He stated that Helldivers 2 has already become the seventh highest-grossing Sony-published game in history. Without a PC, it would not currently be considered one of the top 20 games. While I’m emphasizing the success of the PC SKU, it’s important to note that I’m not disregarding the success of the PlayStation SKU. I just wanted to clarify that. This launch has proven to be incredibly successful.

Prior to the release of Helldivers 2, Sony made it clear that they would be launching their live service-style titles simultaneously on both the PS5 and PC. The success of this approach will undoubtedly strengthen their strategic vision. It will be intriguing to witness if the company reveals official sales figures in the near future, as the title appears to be one of the platform holder’s most successful sellers to date.

Shift Up, the Korean developer, seems to be reconsidering its contentious alterations to the Stellar Blade outfit. In a message to fans, they have urged everyone to stay tuned for updates and expressed gratitude for the passionate feedback from players. For those who may not be aware, a petition gained significant attention over the weekend when gamers discovered changes made to a few of the game’s costumes through a day-one patch.

The launch day update includes a fantastic New Game + mode, but some players were disappointed by the changes made to protagonist Eve’s outfit. These alterations sparked debates about censorship. Director Hyung-Tae Kim later clarified that this was the studio’s original vision, but he acknowledged that it may require further persuasion to win over users. Internal discussions were also underway to address any concerns.

There is no definitive confirmation regarding the reversal of the outfits, but considering the language used in the statement and the widespread controversy surrounding the alterations, it is highly likely that a future patch will restore the original costumes. If you want to get a sneak peek at all of Eve’s different outfits and learn how to unlock them, be sure to take a look at our comprehensive guide, All Outfits and How to Get Them.

Yet, just like other noteworthy second-party and third-party game releases, fans are pondering: Will Stellar Blade be available on PC?

Unfortunately, Stellar Blade will not be available on PC, at least not initially. Currently, the game is only available on PlayStation 5 starting on April 26, 2024.

Regrettably, it appears that there is no indication of a potential PC release for Stellar Blade in the future. In most cases, trailers for PlayStation timed-exclusive titles conclude with a disclaimer that specifies the duration of their exclusivity.

In the Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth launch trailer, it is explicitly stated that the game will only be accessible on other platforms starting on May 29, 2024.

Regrettably, when it comes to the stellar blade, there is no indication of such.

It’s important to note that Sony Entertainment Interactive published Stellar Blade, unlike Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. This means that the chances of it being released on PC or other platforms in the near future are even slimmer.

However, it is worth noting that there is a chance the game might be released on PC in the future, given PlayStation’s track record of bringing their exclusive titles to the platform. However, it could be a while before this comes to fruition.
