Blizzard finally announced the release date for Heroes of the Storm earlier today and guess what? It’s less than two months away by the looks of it. Specifically, the game that’s already taking the MOBA world by storm (pun totally intended) is scheduled to launch on June 2nd. There are a couple of pieces of good news here, the first of which is obviously the fact that by exiting closed beta and entering official release, Heroes of the Storm should run more smoothly and the bugs should be less frequent than they are now. At least, that’s what me and countless other players who have experienced issues with the game are hoping for.

Next off, Blizzard confirmed that players can expect all their progress (including unlocked heroes and whatnot) to carry over post-launch. In other words, there will be no more wipes from now on. Also, the company says that a “unique” launch event for Heroes of the Storm will take place on June 1st  in London, although there aren’t a whole lot of details available at this time. Finally, the last piece of good news is that beta keys will not be required anymore starting with June 2nd because the flood gates will open and anyone will be able to play the game for free. If you’re interested in playing Heroes of the Storm just go to Battle.net and create a free account.

And now for the bad news. Contrary to what most of us were hoping for, Blizzard will apparently not be releasing any new heroes when the game launches. The same goes for battlegrounds, skins, and mounts for that matter I’m sorry to say. However, there will be plenty of new additions to Heroes of the Storm along the line, so I guess we’ll just have to be patient and wait until they’re announced.

There hasn’t been much buzz surrounding Suicide Squad since its release in February. Warner Bros. was let down by the game’s underwhelming sales, but they remained committed to turning their live service vision into a reality. An exciting new DLC update has been released, introducing The Crown Prince of Crime to the game.

As the game’s first live season begins, players will have the chance to take on Green Lantern and, in the end, unlock The Joker as a playable character. Which Joker are you referring to? This is quite intricate. Furthermore, players can look forward to the inclusion of a Battle Pass, a variety of new shop items available for purchase, exciting Incursions and Strongholds to partake in, as well as an expanded selection of Infamy Sets and Notorious Gear to amass.

What are your thoughts on this? Does the allure of The Joker entice you to return to Suicide Squad, or have you remained a loyal fan all along? We value your feedback and would love to hear your thoughts in the comments section below.

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.

If you’re not already acquainted with Highspeed Étoile, you can watch a trailer right here. “Sony has announced that a collection of 26 stickers, consisting of 8 title logos and 18 main character stickers, will be made available for a limited time,” stated Sony on the PS Blog. In addition, Fukushima will be included as a backdrop in the title’s beloved photography mode.
