STARCRAFT_2_LEGACY_OF_THE_VOID_BETA

Well, the big day is finally here. Starcraft 2: Legacy of the Void is entering the closed beta testing phase a bit later today, so this is a very exciting day indeed. As it’s often the case with Blizzard games, not everyone will be able to access the beta from the get-go, with beta keys scheduled to be sent in waves to those who have signed up on Battle.net. The Starcraft 2: Legacy of the Void sign up process is pretty straightforward and you can check it out here. While you’re there make sure you opt in for all the other betas as well, especially for the Overwatch one, which is set to begin sometime later this year.

As for Starcraft 2: Legacy of the Void, this is the third and final chapter in the highly acclaimed sci-fi RTS trilogy. Unlike in Wings of Liberty and Heart of the Swarm where the focus was on the Terran and Zerg, respectively, the third installment will be focused entirely on the Protoss. You can still expect to see well known characters like Jim Raynor and Sarah Kerrigan, but the main protagonists this time around will be Zeratul and Artanis. What makes Starcraft 2: Legacy of the Void a bit more special than its predecessor is the fact that this is a standalone expansion pack, so you won’t need the previous titles in order to play it.

You will, however, need a lot of practice if you want to get good at the game because Blizzard has announced a host of changes and new features for the multiplayer component. Among these changes we can find: two new units for each race, a new game mode, 12 workers straight off the bat, game time will match real time, mineral patches hold fewer minerals, various modifications to old units, and more. According to Blizzard, the Starcraft 2: Legacy of the Void beta will last longer than usual, so don’t expect to see a full release any time soon. A release date for Starcraft 2: Legacy of the Void has not been announced yet.

While Sony may not classify Gran Turismo 7 as a live-service game, the team at Polyphony Digital certainly approaches it with a similar mindset. The game continues to impress with every new update, and although v1.44 may be smaller compared to previous versions, it still manages to enhance the already extensive content of this simulation racer.

The update, now available worldwide, introduces three new cars: the Audi R8 Coupé V10 Plus ’16, the Lamborghini Urus ’18, and the Toyota GT-One (TS020) ’99. Furthermore, it introduces three fresh events to World Circuits, an extra menu to conquer in the GT Café single-player campaign, and a collection of livery stickers inspired by the upcoming Highspeed Étoile anime, set to debut next week in Japan.

This author has consistently praised the realistic portrayal of tennis in TopSpin 4. After more than a decade, we are thrilled to witness the release of TopSpin 2K25, which expands upon the success of its renowned predecessor. This gameplay video provides a comprehensive overview of the features discussed in our recent preview while also incorporating relevant footage to enhance understanding.

The series’ swing system sets it apart from arcade-style games like Virtua Tennis, as it requires players to charge up their shots in a different way. In order to succeed, timing is crucial, and fortunately, a new meter above your player will assist you in achieving that. Surfaces have their own distinct characteristics, such as clay, where you’ll experience a noticeable amount of sliding.

The game ensures that every player has a distinct set of animations, adding a touch of individuality to each competitor. The courts, found in all Grand Slams, possess a remarkable amount of individuality and charm. It is mentioned in the video that with each in-game season, players can expect a plethora of additional content, such as animation packs. This indicates that there will be plenty to anticipate even after the game’s initial release.
