Bungie confirms that it is renting out its massive office headquarters in Washington

1 Share
That headline is going to come as little surprise to those who have been watching the slow self-immolation of Bungie, but it still likely sucks to learn, particularly if you’re among those who have been long-time fans of its games. Either way, Bungie is now attempting to sublease its massive headquarters in Bellevue, WA to […]

As StarCraft teasers continue in the build-up to BlizzCon, mounting evidence suggests that a character who disappeared 11 years ago is making her return

1 Share

Something's being teased by Blizzard for StarCraft 2. A strange transmission started coming through the official site recently, and another is now available, potentially teasing the return of one Sarah Kerrigan.

The first teaser made it clear that Blizzard has made another ARG for the franchise, and now the second appears to point towards where this is heading. In this transmission, we get snippets about the contents of some crates going completely amok, potentially leading to a gruesome incident.

There's "screeching and screaming" going on within the precious cargo. It's all hush-hush, but distinctly ominous. Then we see a patient's shipping log. The person's name begins with a 'K', and the remaining seven letters are missing.

Hm. Eight letters, and starts with a 'K'? That seems like it might actually be Kerrigan, the infamous psychic spy who's infested by the Zerg to serve their bidding. Joke's on them, though, since she manages to take over the entire hive due to her extreme mental prowess.

She's made recurring appearances across the Starcraft series, often wreaking havoc of some description or another. We last saw her leaving with James Raynor, two years after she managed to kill Amon. On-screen text said James was "never heard from again."

She, on the other hand, isn't named in the epilogue. Convenient. Fans have been sensing something is on the horizon after a surprise patch turned the game on its head back in July. The last time Blizzard did an ARG with the Starcraft community was in 2013 for Heart of the Swarm. We'll see where this one leads, but fans are on the case, deconstructing every sliver of information that arrives.

8 Best Games Like The Witcher 3

1 Share

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is one of, if not the best, RPGs of all time. 11 years after launch, there's even a remastered version of it coming later this month (and it's free for anyone who owns the existing game), alongside a new expansion called Songs of the Past that's in the works. However, Songs of the Past doesn't arrive until 2027, and The Witcher 4is not coming until 2028, which means there's a big Witcher-sized hole to fill in our gaming backlogs.

Brandon Sanderson Reveals the Fatal Fantasy Mistake That Derailed Game of Thrones

1 Share

Brandon Sanderson is one of the biggest voices in the fantasy genre. More than a writer and publisher, he's an audience-friendly scholar. Somehow he finds time to expand the Cosmere on a near-annual basis and also deliver lectures on Tolkien’s magic systems. There’s a reason we turned to him once upon a time to teach us his time-management wizardry.

World of Warcraft's Venomous Abyss raid is "what we'd hoped for" from the war on add-ons, Ion Hazzikostas explains

1 Share

World of Warcraft Midnight marked a major turning point for Blizzard in one specific, important way: the death of the combat add-on. Tools such as WeakAuras and Deadly Boss Mods have largely been synonymous with the MMORPG for the last two decades, helping players to solve fight mechanics and figure out what they should be [...]
