Many hardcore PVPers have felt that the World of Warcraft PVP scene has been neglected the past few expansion packs. With minimal updates and the brunt of Blizzard’s attention seemingly focused on PVE content, it’s not surprising that they’d feel that way. While it’s true that the majority of players focus almost exclusively on PVE content, it looks like the rewards for World of Warcraft PVP season 4 are honestly pretty cool.
Patch 7.2.5 will likely herald the start of PVP season 4, but that’s not yet confirmed. Still, we have some shiny stuff to look forward to. There will be items added for Prestige levels 15-18, a new artifact color, a new mount, and the title “Unstoppable Force”.
I don’t really participate very much in the World of Warcraft PVP scene, but I’ll probably be working on advancing my character to get access to the cool mount and that great title. Something about “Unstoppable Force” really appeals to me and it’s applicable in PVE content too.
The new items and title will unlock sequentially as follows:
Prestige 15: Artifact: New Color
Prestige 16: Toy: Esteemed Pennant
Prestige 17: Mount: Prestigious Forest Courser
Prestige 18: Title: The Unstoppable Force
As exciting as these new additions are, the issue of Blizzard’s neglect for World of Warcraft PVP remains. As mentioned above, I don’t really participate in the content myself, but I and many other players feel for our competitive brethren. A new battleground or two, while difficult to balance, would go a long way in assuring Blizzard’s loyal customers that they’re committed to improving the PVP experience and that they value this other side of the game instead of just the dungeons and raids.
Are you guys excited about these new additions? What would Blizzard have to do to fix the ailing PVP scene? I’m pretty sure that these new rewards will only be a Bandaid appeasement rather than something to keep players engaged. I’ll be interested to see what Blizzard has up their sleeves in subsequent updates to keep this important part of World of Warcraft alive and well.
The Starbreeze cooperative multiplayer game Project Baxter is expected to follow PAYDAY. The official Dungeons & Dragons logo is on Starbreeze. However, we do not expect the studio to revere RPG settings like Larian did with Baldur’s Gate 3.
Starbreeze will develop and publish Project Baxter in 2026 for all major platforms. The company says it “will carry the signature Starbreeze game cornerstones of cooperative multiplayer, lifetime commitment through a Games as a Service model, community engagement, and a larger than life experience.”
Forgive the skepticism, but PAYDAY 3, Starbreeze’s latest release, lagged behind due to server issues that the CEO had to apologize for, taking two months to release the heist shooter’s first patch. It’s a disappointing story that may have gone unnoticed in a year with The Lord of the Rings: Gollum, Kong: Rise of Skull Island, and The Walking Dead: Destinies.
Would you like a Starbreeze multiplayer live service D&D game? Is this to capitalize on the setting’s moment between Baldur’s Gate and the surprising good Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves?
Konami promised that free-to-play soccer sim eFootball would add PES’ massively popular Master League mode, but while this month’s v3.20 update will add more solo content, you’ll have to wait. My League lets you play full seasons as a single player with changing weather and exclusive rewards to reduce the wait.
You’ll replace a real team from your league, like England or Italy. The gacha system unlocks players that you’ll use to fight the AI and win the table. Play through the mode as many times as you want, with custom cutscenes and other features to track your progress. It all seems like a way to make dream team gameplay appealing to offline players.
Online play is also getting better. A new tier system will match you with players of similar skill levels, and co-op will soon let you join strangers instead of friends. You can use emojis to discuss your matches’ successes and failures or strategize with new allies.
We assume new cards with perks will allow Konami to create “rarer” versions of players when they perform certain real-life feats. A new login feature will include a penalty-taking minigame where you must score a goal to climb a ladder and unlock in-game rewards like virtual currency. For now, that’s it.
The critically panned game improves, but not as fast as former PES fans would like. The gameplay is good, and there are more things to do, but without that meaty single-player mode, old-school franchise fans will always rank it lower. Konami should revive one of the best solo sports game modes soon.
We expected it to be big, but this big? Only ten hours after Rockstar unceremoniously released GTA 6’s trailer after an unexpected leak, it has over 50 million views. This video is the top trending video on YouTube worldwide, ignoring mirrors from IGN and Gamespot.
Instead of waiting until later today, the developer released the first footage of the latest Grand Theft Auto after a watermarked version leaked on Twitter. The team is understandably upset, but the video’s overwhelming response will reassure it. It has 50 million views and 6.5 million likes.
This could reach 100 million by the end of the day as it’s shared worldwide and fans search for Easter eggs and secrets. How many times have you seen the new trailer?
