Uncover The Lost City of Un’Goro, Hearthstone’s Latest Expansion!

GRAB A MAP!  Legend tells of a Lost City, hidden in Un’Goro Crater. Loh, the great Tortollan explorer, has chartered an expedition to uncover its secrets—but he doesn’t know that Umbra has secrets of her own. (Sound familiar? Hearthstone first visited the Un’Goro Crater in the expansion Journey to Un’Goro, back in April of 2017!) The Lost City of Un’Goro expansion will come with 145 brand-new cards, including new Story and Map cards, a new Kindred keyword, and a returning Quest keyword, arriving on 9 July AEST / UTC+8!

DETAILS OF THE EXPEDITION

  • New Keyword: Kindred. Primal energy courses through Un’Goro Crater, infusing cards with bursts of power. By studying the area, we have found a way to predict these surges: cards with the Kindred keyword get a bonus effect if you played a card of the same minion type or spell school on your previous turn. Plan ahead to take advantage of their power.
  • Returning Keyword: Quest. Quests are 1-cost spells that start in your opening hand. Complete the Quest’s requirements throughout the game to get a powerful reward. Each class gets a new Legendary Quest card in The Lost City of Un’Goro.
  • New Story and Map Cards. Stories are how the Tortollan people pass on knowledge of the Crater to their next generation. Each story card tells a tale about the last time adventurers entered Un’Goro Crater. A good map is crucial for exploration. Map cards let you Discover a card and then, if you play your chosen card that turn, get another one of the options too. There are seven Stories and six Maps in The Lost City of Un’Goro.
  • Plus Some Familiar Faces. Loh has gathered a team of adventurers to help him on his expedition, including a couple familiar faces: Elise Starseeker, the famous explorer, is the team’s navigator; and Umbra, the former leader of the Tortollans, is the team’s guide.
  • How to Get the Set. We’re offering three pre-purchase bundles this expansion: our usual Pre-Purchase Bundle and Mega Bundle options, plus the Sequence Bundle (unlocked after getting the other two pre-purchase bundles). The Lost City of Un’Goro Mega Bundle includes 80 Lost City of Un’Goro Packs, 10 Golden Lost City of Un’Goro Packs, 1 Random Signature The Lost City of Un’Goro Legendary Card, 1 Random Golden Lost City of Un’Goro Legendary Card, 4 Tavern Tickets, and the Spiritsinger Umbra Card Back and Warlock Hero Skin.  The Sequence Bundle offers the best value for players who want the most packs possible at launch.

A NEW ARENA AWAITS The Hearthstone Arena is undergoing a significant revamp with the introduction of two new versions: The Arena and The Underground. The Arena offers a revamped drafting experience and is designed for newer players, while The Underground presents a challenging environment for veterans, featuring longer runs and greater rewards. The Arena is a beginner-friendly mode with skill-based matchmaking, while The Underground allows players of all skill levels to compete, enhancing the competitive aspect. Players can unlock The Underground after winning seven games in The Arena.

Too Cool for School: New Forestrike Trailer Details Cold Arts

Learn Advanced Techniques Now in Updated Demo

Japan-based master developers Skeleton Crew and their apprentices Devolver Digital have revealed the Cold Eye School in a brand new Forestrike gameplay trailer. Eager pupils can learn to Forestrike and chill in the updated demo on Steam, which includes this brutal new path for our hero to walk.

A chilling technique established by the ruthless Master Nodai, the Cold Eye School is the second of five schools of combat you can learn on your journey. The Cold Eye revolves around two principles: Endure and Retaliate. 

Using blocks or their own health as means to absorb attacks, the Cold Eye user can secure more resources to stand their ground before retaliating with no mercy. Master Nodai, a veteran from the military elite, is obsessed with the idea that the Order is weak. He believes that the Order must adapt and take a more violent stance against the Admiral to restore its former glory, but he is also tormented by the desire for revenge against the Imperial court, which rejected him after he was wounded in battle.

The updated Forestrike demo now features The Cold Eye alongside Master Talgun’s evasive Leaf style. This new brutal and resolute school will attempt to teach players that only by embracing pain can one deliver true justice. However, having access to two schools, players can now unlock new combined abilities and skills.

Forestrike is a tactical kung fu game where repetition is the key to success. The latest creation from Japan-based developer Skeleton Crew, the team behind 2021’s Olija, also published by Devolver, Forestrike continues the studio’s unique artistic style, combat and fantasy-based storytelling. 

Forestrike will launch for PC and Nintendo Switch in 2025. Visit forestrikegame.com for more information

Yamato and Bismarck join the the fight in War Thunder

The new update brings the most powerful and famous battleships ever built and more

Gaijin Entertainment announces that the “Leviathans” major content update for the military online shooter War Thunder will be released in early June. It will feature the most powerful battleships ever built including the legendary Bismark, Yamato and Vanguard, as well as dozens of other interesting military vehicles for all nations.

IJN Yamato is arguably the most powerful battleship ever created. It is equipped with nine 460 mm guns in three turrets, the largest caliber ever fitted to a warship.·It had some of the thickest armor, a sophisticated fire control system, and over 150 anti-aircraft guns. Yamato was built as an apex battleship killer, and it took literally hundreds of US aircraft to overwhelm the air defenses and sink her at the very end of WW2.

German Bismarck became a legend during her very first operations when she sank the battlecruiser HMS Hood after only five salvos and damaged the Prince of Wales battleship. It took the entire Royal Navy Home Fleet to pursue, damage, surround and make a wreck of the lone Bismarck. Bismarck is equipped with eight 380 mm guns, known for their high power, accuracy and extremely good reload speed.

HMS Vanguard was the last battleship ever built, and was commissioned shortly after WW2 ended. Featuring 15 inch guns, decent speed and  armor, it has fantastic air defenses and an air recon radar. It was also the British warship with Remote Power Control for her many guns, which meant that the aim of the guns could be controlled from within the armored fire control center.

Badger is the new, modern IFV developed to replace the ageing Ratel IFV in the South African army. The Badger’s turret features a 30 mm GI-30 automatic cannon that is capable of firing sabot, APFSDS and HEI rounds. This is all backed up by a laser rangefinder and thermal imagers, making precision shots at longer ranges easier. Badger is capable of reaching 100 km/h on roads and rough ground, allowing the crew to reach strong positions fast.

The Japanese F-2A fighter jet is an aircraft derived from the American F-16 and designed for the Japanese Self-Defense Forces. While maintaining basic aerodynamics, the aircraft received an enlarged wing utilizing composite materials, a reinforced fuselage and locally developed avionics, including an AESA radar and an integrated fire control system. The F-2A will receive ASM-1 and ASM-2 anti-ship missiles that are new to the game, as well as locally designed short-range AAM-3 anti-air missiles and medium-range AAM-4.

More information on the “Leviathans” update is available on the official website.
