Even-and-Odd Decks are enabled by two new legendary cards that were revealed as part of The Witchwood expansion announcement.

I wrote that the single tentacle was “looking nearly as tall as a ship’s mast.” In the launch trailer for Sea of Thieves, which you can view above, the Kraken’s tentacles (you can see a bunch of them now) are considerably taller than the galleon’s masts. The trailer mostly shows us things along the lines of what we’ve been seeing for months: plenty

In his 80-scored review, our Steven described Warhammer: Vermintide 2’s combat and level design as “feverishly fun”, despite struggling with its matchmaking and RPG progression. With the latter in mind, developer Fatshark is working to “remove the extreme spikes” and reduce the game’s harsh learning curve. “The first goal has been to remove the extreme spikes. Mods might play a part in this process and Fatshark plans to roll out Steam Workshop support in “late April”, says Wahlund. “All this wil

After slight delay, Fornite’s loot llama and remote explosive-boasting update v3.3 is live. As planned, smoke grenades have been “vaulted”, while a new Blitz mode for Battle Royale promises shorter, more aggressive battles. Fortnite’s incoming Blitz mode takes this idea one step further by capping matches at 15 minutes, and applying shorter storm times.
