Meanwhile, SK Gaming and Astralis will duke it out at 07:30 PDT / 16:30 CEST to see who has what it takes to make it the semifinals. Group H’s matches begin today at 21:00 PDT / 06:00 CEST and will continue throughout the day. This weekend we’re heading to the Star Event Centre in Sydney to see which country will advance to the playoffs. However, only the best Hearthstone player will take the title and the £25,000 prize pool. Make sure you head over to DreamHack’s official site to see the full t

The roster for Capcom’s incoming superstar fighter Marvel vs Capcom: Infinite is filling up fast, having previously confirmed the likes of Captain Marvel, Iron Man, Rocket Raccoon and Jedah. Now, Resident Evil’s Nemesis, Dead Rising’s Frank West, and Final Fight’s Haggar has been confirmed ahead of the game’s September 19 launch. Confirmed by Capcom itself at the game’s San Diego Comic Con panel, NerdReactor’s Chris Del Castillo captured the following footage that stars the three new faces, alon

The Japanese dark manga series Berserk is said to have inspired the likes of Dynasty Warriors and Dark Souls—the latter of which owes much of its sombre and disparate aesthetic to the animated works of Kentaro Miura. Now, Souls modder Abject has reversed these roles by bringing Berserk’s esteemed protagonist Guts to Lordran. Before we look at that in action, however, let me first show you YouTube person Gidrah’s ‘Berserk References in Dark Souls’ side-by-side comparison video. I’ve never gotten

Any game that describes itself as “FTL-meets-Sunless Sea in the golden age of sea” is likely to turn heads, and, having watched Abandon Ship’s first public demo at this year’s PC Gamer Weekender, it’d seem Fireblade Software’s debut venture is on track to live up to its billing. And if the combat and weather trailer that aired back in April teased the challenges of life at sea in Abandon Ship, then the latest ‘Sea Monsters and Doomsday Cults’ short drives that home hook line and sinker. Cue some

If you’re in Sydney this weekend, the Overwatch World Cup hits the Star Event Centre in Pyrmont starting today, and runs until Sunday. The two playoff winners from each region will make up the eight-team field in the Overwatch World Cup Final being held at BlizzCon in Anaheim, California. The other three Group Stage qualifier events will take place in Shanghai, China; Katowice, Poland; and Burbank, USA. Check the official Overwatch World Cup website for details . The matches will be broadcast on

Nowadays Overwatch is probably among the most Cosplay-ed video games of all time, but the bar is still being raised. Most recently, this intricately detailed Doomfist effort is very good indeed, a collaboration between Henchmen Studios and Canadian model caviar_bleu, commissioned by Blizzard. Here’s a video of the Cosplay, courtesy of mineralblu. It’s part of Blizzard’s San Diego Comic-Con efforts. It’s Doomfist because, as you no doubt have caught wind of already, the new playable-character lau

FIFA 14 will lose its online support on October 18, meaning you won’t be able to compete against friends or otherwise in the game by the end of the year. FIFA 14 Ultimate Team will also lose its online support, while FIFA 14 will disappear from EA Access come October 18 as well. It follows the discontinuation of both FIFA 12 and 13 earlier this month, as well as FIFA 12 and 13 Ultimate Team. FIFA 14 was one of the better instalments in the ongoing, annualised football series, as our reviewer Gra

If you’re a fan of building cities or townships, but also want those cities or townships to be attacked by invading cretins, then Kingdoms and Castles looks sweet. Released today and funded on Fig, it’s a medieval fantasy-themed spin on the likes of SimCity and Cities: Skylines, except you’ll also be defending your civilisation. With a lovely bright voxel aesthetic, you’ll be “strategically” laying out your town – making peasants happy and attracting new citizens – while also populating it with

Rebellion announced in March that it was bringing the blue-skinned GIs from the 2006 third-person shooter Rogue Trooper back into action in Rogue Trooper Redux, with updated graphics and tweaked gameplay. Today the studio came across with the launch date—October 17—and shared a new trailer highlighting some of the Redux version’s visual improvements. The new(ish) game features remodeled characters, weapons, and vehicles, remastered cinematic sequences, dynamic lighting, new effects, and “higher

As no-brainers go, they don’t come much less brainy than picking Skyrim as the theme for the first full expansion for your Elder Scrolls card game. Shout, shout, let it all outSkyrim’s real innovation is the new Shout cards. Now that we’re three expansions into Legends’ life, the density of Prophecy cards available means it’s possible to stack decks with prophecies without trading off too much power. Unless Dire Wolf caps the number of Prophecy cards decks can include, or starts rotating sets ou

Dream Daddy: A Dad Dating Simulator is out today, and the internet is flooding with top notch dads of all types, from the expected robust bearded boys to straight up scenesters with multicolored hair that’d make a rainbow keel over and call it quits. That’s because before you dive into the daddy dating scene, you need to make your own dad using a character creator brimming with assorted dad bits. But nevermind my awful first attempt—this is where you come in, readers. Not your real dads, obvious

I’m not sure if Elite Dangerous’ developers love or hate them, because Mars and Spawrks have a knack of finding every broken element in Elite Dangerous’ galactic simulation. But why would NASA allow two small-time YouTubers who make videos about Elite Dangerous to visit their Goddard space center? Their video, demonstrating how to find the probe, highlights the fundamental authenticity that ties Elite Dangerous and our own galaxy together. “All I could do was show them our videos of Elite Danger

Earlier this week, a popular Playerunknown’s Battlegrounds streamer named Dr. DisRespect was temporarily banned from the game for killing his teammates. “According to the Rules of Conduct you were given a 3 day as well for team killing. Next time, don’t kill them and just submit it.” Interestingly, Playerunknown has put up a couple of tweets recently stating that players will only be banned for “malicious team killing.” Right now, though, the bottom line is this: If you don’t want to eat a ban i

War never changes, as the saying goes, and in what I’m guessing is that spirit Activision has released a trailer introducing the Nazi Zombies of Call of Duty: WWII. But these zombies, Sledgehammer Games boss Glen Schofield said, are going to be quite a bit different from their predecessors. “With Nazi Zombies, we’re creating a frightening world full of terrifying characters and events that will make you jump and look over your shoulder. “This is unlike anything before, we’re taking players to so

Citadel: Forged With Fire is an “online sandbox RPG” announced last week by Blue Isle Studios, the developer of Valley and Slender: The Arrival. And it’s apparently well into development, because despite being revealed to the world so recently, it will hold its first open beta this weekend. “We’ve received a great response from the community and with support from Valve we’d like to invite everyone to play and post their impressions on Citadel: Forged With Fire for free on Saturday,” Blue Isle ma

Earlier this month, the original, 1997 Shadow Warrior went free on GOG. Now the Humble Store is upping the ante by making the 2013 remake—the “Special Edition,” no less, with the soundtrack, art book, and a couple of unique weapons—free until 10 am PT on July 22. In case there’s any doubt, I was a big fan, and so the whole “get it free” thing definitely rings my bell. And since you haven’t actually spent any money, why not check out the Bandai Namco Anime Sale while you’re there? God Eater 2: Ra

One of the best recurring deals in the wireless router space has been T-Mobile’s Wi-Fi CellSpot, a rebranded version of the Asus RT-AC68U. We have brought to attention sale prices on this model before, though at $55 for an open box model at Tanga, this is the lowest we have ever seen it. As to the rebranding, an older review by CNET claims T-Mobile’s model lacks some features of the RT-AC68U. The last thing to note about T-Mobile’s model is that it looks slightly different from the picture above

It’s the View 21 Tempered Glass Edition, which is a mid-tower version of its bigger View 31. Like that case, it has tempered glass panels on both sides, so there’s really no hiding a sloppy build. For your storage devices, the View 21 mid-tower comes with two 2.5-inch and two 3.5-inch drive mounts, which can be installed in the front (up to two) and right side (up to four). The View 21 also supports liquid cooling with room for up to a 360mm radiator in the front of the chassis and a 120mm radia

Supergiant Games, the developer of Bastion and Transistor, announced in May that its next game, the party-based RPG Pyre, will be out on July 25. But earlier today on Twitter, the studio said it again, and this time around it gave us a launch trailer to look at. Supergiant has previously said that Pyre is its “biggest and most imaginative world yet,” and it also looks to be quite a bit different than its previous games. Along with its campaign, Pyre will also offer an esports-style “versus” mode

“Ark: Survival of the Fittest was for us an experiment,” says Studio Wildcard’s co-founder Jeremy Stieglitz. Having begun life as a mod, Ark: Survival of the Fittest became a free-to-play standalone game in early 2016. According to Steam Spy’s data, less than 300 people played Ark: Survival of the Fittest concurrently yesterday—whereas over 350,000 took to the wargrounds of PUBG simultaneously. “It was an experiment that didn’t catch on but we do think there’s a fun game there. And we’re a littl
