The prize pool of the DotA 2 eSports event The International is about to burst. The Guardian prefers to keep her money for the other games in this N8W8, such as Middle-Earth: Shadow of War, Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite and Call of Duty: WWII. With the latter, she gets the Doctor over the floor.
Hitman Gets Season One’s Final Elusive Target
The last Elusive Target for Hitman’s Season One has been released. In the coming period you can buy this Mr. Giggles, who run an underground circus, are still dead in Marrakesh. Then your chance is gone forever …
The arrival of the latter target also marks the end of IO Interactive’s collaboration with publisher Square Enix. The latter already announced its withdrawal in May, after which IO Interactive announced in June that it would continue as an independent studio. They hereby retain all rights of the Hitman ip.
It is not yet known what the future plans of IO Interactive with Hitman are. However, the developer continues to update their Season One of this episodic series with patches, tweaks and fixes.
David Tennant casts Call of Duty: WWII zombies
The observant Twitterer of course already knew: Doctor Who himself, David Tennant, takes on the role of Drostan Hynd in the zombie mode of Call of Duty: WWII. We don’t know very much about this undead blast fest, so you shouldn’t ask the Guardian who that Drostan Hynd is … but thanks to a leaked trailer, the internet believes that this mode will be called Army of the Undead.
Sorry if you scroll down completely happy now; the video has unfortunately been taken offline again. So you have to make do with this Tweet from Sledgehammer Games, in which the developer says that they are almost finished with their ‘ Zombies Trailer’. And it should be, as more news is expected about the zombies in this World War II CoD at the San Diego Comic Con on July 20.
Call of Duty: WWII can be checked on PC, PS4 and Xbox One from November 3.
Trailer abundance
Pour a cup of coffee, put your legs on your desk and take a moment for the games below. This trailer abundance puts three of the more unknown and unloved games in the spotlight as usual. This time watch Yonder: The Cloud Catcher Chronicles, The Trail: Frontier Challenge and Smashbox Arena.
Jedah from Darkstalkers announced for Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite
The Evolution Championship Series (EVO for convenience) is the largest and longest-running fighting game tournament in the world. It is therefore not surprising that this event is often used for new announcements in the genre.
Also during the livestream of the Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 tournament at EVO 2017 was the hit. Capcom took the opportunity to announce a new character for their Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite. It is none other than Jedah Dohma from Darkstalkers who makes an appearance on the roster of the fighting game.
Capcom also immediately showed two exhibition matches of Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite, which includes the above-mentioned Jedah and Gamora from Guardians of the Galaxy, which was revealed at E3. Characters such as Chun-Li and Iron Man can also be seen.
Capcom: Infinite can be checked on PC, PS4 and Xbox One from September 19th.
Comic moment
40 minutes live stream of Middle-Earth: Shadow of War
If you’re struggling to do something productive this Monday, the Guardian has a good excuse for you. She would like to present you with 40 minutes of Middle-Earth: Shadow of War.
Below is footage from a Monolith Productions livestream, in which the team shows a new snowy area in Middle-Earth: Shadow of War and introduces you to five never-before-seen wraith skills.
Middle-Earth: Shadow of War will be available on PC, PS4 and Xbox One from October 10.
DotA 2 The International prize pool is the biggest ever
With a month to go, The International’s prize pool, the DotA 2 eSports event, is already the highest ever. For the occasion, the Guardian taps out the entire amount; the counter is at $ 21,437,112. In comparison, last year the prize pool ended up stuck at around $ 20.7 million.
Valve basically raises these spectacular amounts by selling premium content. For example, The International’s Battle Pass this year includes a two-part multiplayer campaign. You score the features for amounts ranging from $ 9.99 to $ 36.99. Of the sales of these Battle Passes, 25 percent ultimately ends up in the DotA 2 prize pool.
Disclaimer: the counter keeps ticking, so the Guardian cannot guarantee that that $ 21.4 million will still be correct. Otherwise, take a look yourself.
