Amazon posts and retracts a July 2018 release date for Fallout 76
This past week’s announcement of Fallout 76 — Bethesda’s newest entry in the post-apocalyptic series — has just about everyone in the gaming community buzzing. And while we’re sure to hear more about this at E3, one vital piece of information may have already been leaked: the release date. When Amazon posted the game’s pre-order page, it initially listed the game as releasing by July 31st, 2018. That date has since been changed to “on or before December 31st, 2019,” but there are some that wonder if Amazon might know a thing or two that we don’t. After all, Bethesda has said that it wants to drastically shorten the time between game announcements and releases. Another theory is that the multiple Halloween references in the teaser video point to an October launch. Fallout 76 is retailing for $60, although you may want to wait until E3 (June 12th through 14th) to find out more (including a documentary on the making of the game!). We … [Read more...] about Amazon posts and retracts a July 2018 release date for Fallout 76
WoW Factor: Guessing at Battle for Azeroth’s release date using math
The “when will Battle for Azeroth” speculation train is rolling once again because it looks like patch 7.3.5 is just around the corner. We haven’t actually been told when that’s landing yet, of course, but the World of Warcraft community continues to push forward with the sort of boundless optimism that it’s so well known for. “This time is going to be different!” Here’s a spoiler for the future: It’s not. This time is going to be exactly the same, just like how previous times have been exactly the same, just like each time we’ve talked about this have been exactly the same. Betting on anything before October is optimistic, betting before September is wildly unrealistic. Similarly, betting on 2019 is pessimistic, and later than January is wildly unrealistic just as surely. The funny thing is that while we have a relatively small sample size for World of Warcraft expansions, we have a pretty solid set of data just the same. And … [Read more...] about WoW Factor: Guessing at Battle for Azeroth’s release date using math

Chris Roberts, CEO of Cloud of Imperium Games and head honcho behind Star Citizen stated "We're been working on developing Star Citizen for over 5 years now and I'm incredibly proud of what my team has accomplished in such a short time frame. While we haven't shown off the MMO module during alpha, we've been testing it extensively in private and I think everyone will be blown away when they see it in action." Derek Smart, longtime critic of Star Citizen and chairman of the Chris Roberts hate club, was blown after getting a chance to play the release build of Star Citizen. So much so that he simply tweeted to Chris Roberts "GGWP" … [Read more...] about Star Citizen Gets Official Release Date
