In WildStar Reloaded, the Free2Play version of the sci-fi MMO, players are invited to check out the new improved MMORPG with a new trailer.
Harder, faster, better – more loot, prettier, polished – everything is even more fantastic and free! That is the message of the latest trailer for WildStar. It harks back to old times, mixing grandiosity with slapstick comedy.
The trailer reminds us again: No other game features characters making such expressive faces as the game with the Chua.
In the MOBA League of Legends (LoL), patch 5.21 is on the test server and it overhauls Zilean.
This is what patch 5.20 is currently doing
What’s new in LoL? First of all, patch 5.20 is now live and it makes everyone’s favorite annoyance Teemo even more annoying and saw-like. He can now lay his mushroom traps a bit faster. Also included in the patch are a lot of new skins, further balance adjustments, and the new champ Kindred, whose release took place yesterday afternoon.
Additionally, the “One for All” mode is making a return – here a 5-player team plays the same champion.
This is happening on the test server with patch 5.21
On the test server, the next patch is already in progress. Here, they are addressing Zilean, the old time-waster in LoL. His passive grants 8% bonus experience for everyone. This is now considered quite lame, so they are changing the passive:
Zilean will now continuously collect “passively” experience points in a special pool, and when he has enough to help a teammate level up, he can right-click on him, who gets a level up, and Zilean himself receives as much experience as he has just distributed. This could make him one of the most popular teammates ever!
Also in 5.21, Zombie Nunu, Slayer Pantheon, and Slayer Jinx will soon be appearing in LoL. A zombie and a duo of zombie hunters fitting for Halloween.

In the MMO shooter Destiny the Iron Banner is active. We take a look at what to consider in the PvP event.
What is the Iron Banner?
The Iron Banner is a monthly one-week PvP event in Destiny. Players compete against each other as in the regular Crucible, and are assigned to teams. However, the “level advantage” is active.
Players with a lower light level than their opponent deal slightly less damage (though this is hardly noticeable). As you can see, the current red curve is almost flat like the very flat one at launch again. Only at 150 points light level difference does the real drop occur. A player with 260 light level in the Iron Banner only loses about 10% of their damage when firing at a 310 player.
How long does the Iron Banner last in Destiny?
The Iron Banner started on Tuesday, October 13th, at 8:00 PM. It will last until Tuesday, October 20th, at 11:00 AM.
At rank 3, there are three new class items:
What is the goal of the Iron Banner?
The goal of the Iron Banner is to reach a high reputation level with Lord Saladin, the head honcho of the event. Then more items can be purchased from him. There is also a chance to receive items right after a match.
However, things are not going so well at the moment, and many complain about weak rewards and poor drop rates.
Rank 4 reward: Iron Crown-D, a new pistol.
How to gain reputation with Lord Saladin?
There are 3 main ways to gain reputation:
Play Iron Banner Crucible and win, then you gain reputation
Play Iron Banner Crucible and lose, then you gain medals, of which you can collect up to 5. After the next win in Crucible, they automatically convert into reputation
Complete bounties for Lord Saladin – there are some new ones. He has 3 “daily” bounties every day and 3 “weekly” bounties per week. There are a total of 9 daily bounties to choose from.
There is still the Twink bonus – you earn double reputation with your “lower level Guardians” if you have a Guardian with a higher reputation rank than them.
At rank 4, you can acquire these boots with a defense value of 280.
What has changed?
The following has changed:
The “Hardened” bonus is now permanently active, so there is no need to worry about it. This means: Players earn more reputation throughout the Destiny week (which runs from Tuesday to Tuesday) as the week approaches its end.
The reward structure is now a bit different: Players are expected to earn their items in combat. Items at Lord Saladin now cost the coveted “legendary marks” and have weaker stats compared to when they drop. So, one should only buy in case of emergency.
There are new emblems and class items. The shaders remain the same. It’s still the case that the 3 items grant a reputation bonus.
At rank 1 the emblem Iron Pride – for 1000 Glimmer.
At rank 2 the shader Millions of Millions for 1000 Glimmer.
At rank 3 there is the new class item for 40 legendary marks. It has a defense value of 280.
At rank 4 there are boots for every class with a defense value of 280 for 40 marks. Also the new pistol Iron Crown-D for 90 legendary marks. It deals Solar damage, damage increases stability, and preparing the weapon grants bonus damage.
At rank 5 the emblem The Ironwood Tree for 1000 Glimmer and the shader Gold Spiral for 1000 Glimmer. Also the new pulse rifle Nirwens Grace for 90 legendary marks. It has quite decent stats but low impact. Additionally, the radar remains active while aiming, and precision hits improve the reload time. This thing is quite nice!
Are there other rewards?
A ship can still be obtained. Other than that, we do not know of anything. We know that the weapons and armor pieces that Saladin sells can also drop in the Iron Banner. And that starting from rank 2. Then, however, with higher stats (up to 300 defense values) and the possibility of other traits.
Currently, there are no reports of any other special armor pieces or weapons from Lord Saladin’s Iron Banner loot table. Players who have reached rank 5 are also quite disillusioned with the drops.

This time it looks quite poor. In the past, the Iron Banner was the only way to get high-end gear without matchmaking. That has now completely fallen away.
The weapons are also not super interesting without the possibility to reforge, although the pulse rifle is enticing. Sure, if you enjoy PvP and like playing, you should enjoy it. However, the rewards that once made the Iron Banner unique are currently not visible.
What do you think about the Iron Banner in October?

Before the next addon Legion, there will be a new patch in World of Warcraft. This brings new old instances, new mounts, and a familiar point system …
Stretching the Content a Bit
Archimonde in Mythic mode – soon also possible across realms.
Players of World of Warcraft currently fear a major content drought until the expansion “Legion” launches sometime next year. However, Blizzard shows at least a little compassion and presents the next patch 6.2.3. While there are hardly any truly new content, several instances will be added to the Timewalking event, and some mounts will find their way into the game. PvPers can look forward to the start of the 3rd arena season, and Mythic raids can soon be tackled across realms. Let’s take a look at the changes in detail.
Cataclysm Dungeons Polished Up
The most popular dungeons from Cataclysm are being incorporated into the Timewalking event!
The Timewalking event is very popular among many players, as old instances finally become useful again and newer players get the opportunity to experience at least a hint of the old charm. For this reason, Blizzard is expanding the system with 6 instances from Cataclysm, which will be available during a weekend event:
Grim Batol
Stonecore
Lost City of the Tol’vir
Vortex Pinnacle
Throne of the Tides
End Time
Additionally, there will be a new “old” instance from Burning Crusade and Wrath of the Lich King, which will also be available on their respective weekends:
Terrace of the Magisters (Burning Crusade)
The Culling of Stratholme (Wrath of the Lich King)
The Terrace of the Magisters – finally able to deal a setback to the old Kael!
But that’s not all! A new mount will be able to drop in all Timewalking dungeons, albeit with a very low probability. The Timeless Dragon is a dragon of the Eternal Dragonflight, its appearance is based on Murozond (the corrupted Nozdormu).
The new dragon awaits all who have a lot of luck and enjoy visiting old instances.
Return of Valor Points
The Valor Points were banished only with the introduction of Warlords of Draenor and are now finding their way back into the game. This means that in heroic and Mythic instances – in addition to their previous loot – points can be earned again. Along with this comes the item upgrade system: All items from the current expansion can be improved by up to two levels by using Valor Points. This should at least for a while create new motivation to raid the dungeons and dive back into 5-player content.
Mythic Raids Now Cross-Realm
Anyone who previously couldn’t play with their friends in Mythic raids due to their home realm can no longer use that excuse. With Patch 6.2.3, even the most challenging raid content can now be tackled cross-realm, which should break down the last barriers that existed there. Now even role players can take down Archimonde on Mythic with their raid-loving Real-ID friends!
Speaking of Archimonde: anyone who defeats the lovable Eredar Lord on heroic will receive a new quest item that leads players to Moonlight Glade. At the end of the quest line, there is no less than the Guardian of the Glade, which we have already introduced in the past.
The Guardian of the Glade is only available until the pre-patch of Legion!
Blizzard will talk more about the changes regarding the arena season switch in the near future.
In Star Wars Battlefront, there will be no in-game voice chat. Those wanting to coordinate must rely on external programs.
Force Choke Takes the Words
Communication among players is one of the most important elements in team shooters, especially beyond the casual level. It would be surprising if Star Wars Battlefront did not have a built-in voice chat. But that is exactly how it is. The developers recently revealed on Twitter that players would have to turn to alternative programs like Skype or Teamspeak.

The reason for this decision was not explicitly stated, but it can be assumed that the intention is to protect younger players. Because Star Wars is still very popular among young people. Parents might have no problem with their children (in America, usually earlier than in Germany) blasting a few Rebels or Imperials out of virtual life but surely do not want to hear someone yell “Your mother!” every two minutes. In The Elder Scrolls Online, several players have also expressed negative opinions about the voice chat, which has been described as an immersion killer.
Voice chat? Only through external programs.
Battlefront, in general, relies little on explicit violence; blood is almost absent, and even fallen heroes like Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker collapse more or less non-violently on the battlefield. For tight-knit friend groups, the lack of voice chat may not be a major issue, but such solutions are rarely suitable for 40 players. There will likely be little large-scale coordination among all participants.

Well, computer games are getting closer to reality – especially graphically. It seems that it can sometimes happen that an Egyptian news presenter mistakes a scene from the game Apache: Air Assault by the War Thunder developers for a Russian airstrike in Syria …
The Egyptian news anchor Ahmed Moussa is quite controversial in the USA, as he makes no secret of the fact that he supports Russia’s intervention in Syria. During a news broadcast, he praised the precision with which Russian troops operate in Syria and wanted to illustrate this with a video that he believed depicted an actual Russian airstrike. In the video, the attack of an Apache helicopter is seen, which precisely eliminates ground troops from the air.
The Russians have succeeded. Yes, that is the Russian army, those are Russian weapons. That’s Putin. Yes, they are fighting terrorism, they are really fighting it. Now you will see a disturbing video, really disturbing. – Ahmed Moussa
https://youtu.be/iSCKP8luiFw
A video from a computer game is mistaken for a scene from a real conflict
This, however, is not footage from the real conflict, but a scene from the computer game Apache: Air Assault. This was released in 2010 by Gaijin Entertainment, which is better known as the developers of the online game War Thunder. Ahmed Moussa was obviously not aware of this and even commented on the events with great enthusiasm, praising the precision with which the Russian helicopter eliminated the ground troops. Of course, it was not long before the internet made fun of it when it became clear that it was scenes from a computer game.
Actually, Gaijin Entertainment could see this as a compliment, as the Dagor engine used in the games apparently creates such realistic scenes that they can easily be confused with the real world.
Those who buy the new Funcom game “The Park” will receive a quirky costume in The Secret World .
In 1979, Steve Gardener slaughtered a group of teenagers. He wore his work uniform: Gardener was the mascot of Atlantic Island’s Parks, and his service uniform was a chipmunk costume.
“Now you can also dress like a killer,” Funcom exclaims in a quirky promotional brochure.
Players are being offered a deal: Those who pre-order “The Park,” a roughly two-hour psychological horror game from Funcom, will save money and receive the quirky killer chipmunk costume and QL 10.9 talismans in the fantasy MMORPG “The Secret World.” The items will be available on launch day, which is October 27. Then the “stand-alone” game “The Park,” set in the world of The Secret World, will be released. The chipmunk murders are still a topic there.
Funcom has devised a new strategy to avert impending bankruptcy. This includes continuing the development of MMORPGs and tackling major projects, as well as conducting “smaller experiments” that sometimes utilize their own franchises as a backdrop: The Park is the first of these projects.

LoL fans had to wait longer than usual for the latest champ. Kindred, a quirky new jungle character, was actually planned for patch 5.19, but it wasn’t until today, already in 5.20, that it became available.
Kindred is a unique champ in many ways. He symbolizes inevitable death and has two aspects. The “Lamb” grants a merciful end to those who accept death; the “Wolf” relentlessly hunts those who seek to escape him.

In the game itself, Kindred takes on an unusual role. He is a “jungler” who can mark enemy champs: When he kills them, he becomes stronger. This also applies to jungle camps—only the wolf marks them of his own accord… an interesting new color in the LoL palette.

The closed beta of Overwatch, Blizzard’s latest game, is set for October 27.
On October 27, just a few days before Blizzcon, the first shooter that Blizzard has ever made will enter a closed beta.
The start of the beta will be small, with relatively few players, and it will gradually expand. It is intended to be more of an “old school” beta focused on finding bugs and issues.
The beta will launch with both a spectator mode and a built-in voice chat. These are also firsts for Blizzard. With 18 heroes and 7 maps, it will offer a lot of gameplay content.
A small downside: The beta begins in North and South America and will arrive in Europe later. In addition to this “closed beta phase,” there will also be “open beta weekends” offered, which will allow many more players access to test server stability.
The lucky players who gain access to the beta events will be recruited from the Battle.net accounts that have signed up for it.
ArenaNet will work with ESL in the future to elevate the PvP of Guild Wars 2 to even more professional dimensions.
Two Seasons Before the World Championship
Since the announcement of the expansion Heart of Thorns for Guild Wars 2, the game has been experiencing a steady increase in new players, largely due to the free-to-play model. Especially in the PvP areas, ArenaNet’s MMORPG has seen such a massive increase that they have decided to take another step. In the future, ArenaNet will collaborate with ESL, the world’s largest eSport tournament organizer.
To kick off this partnership, there will be two seasons where all interested PvP players can compete for up to $400,000, the largest prize pool ever for a tournament in Guild Wars 2 – only after this will a world championship be held.
The cooperation with ESL also brings new benefits for players: The minimum age for participation will be lowered to 16 years, and regional restrictions will be largely removed. This opens up competitive PvP to an even broader audience of players and allows a larger number than ever before to fully commit to professional PvP with Heart of Thorns.
For more information about the game, the new elite specializations, and the upcoming legendary weapons, you can visit our Guild Wars 2 topic page.

Star Citizen celebrates a new milestone: More than 1 million people are now supporting the project.
On average, $92 per supporter
The success story of Star Citizen is unique. Not only has the game reached its funding goal and all available “stretch goals” at a rapid pace during the crowdfunding phase, but the level of support is exceptionally high. While other games would be thrilled with a funding amount of $1 million, Star Citizen can barely chuckle at that.
With $92 per person, you can really do quite a bit.
More than 1 million people have already given the game a financial boost and are official “backers” of the title. With a total amount raised of over $92 million, this means that each supporter has contributed an average of $92 (about €80). The trust that fans place in this project is unparalleled. Already, Star Citizen is one of the great crowdfunding successes.
Anyone who has not yet heard about the game can try the alpha version 1.2 for free until October 24 and see for themselves whether the game is worth so much support. To do this, simply follow this tweet:

In the latest card chaos of Hearthstone, the randomness factor is pushed to the max: Not only are the cards random, but so are their costs.
More RNG is always better
In the latest card chaos of Hearthstone, Blizzard has chosen another extreme. On 14.10. at 5 PM, the new game mode opened its doors, increasing the equally hated and loved randomness factor to a new maximum. Players can still choose their own class, but will be assigned a deck of completely random cards.
As if that’s not enough randomness, the developers have added another random component: The cost of each card in your hand changes randomly with each turn. This means you might play a Nefarian for only 2 mana or pull a free Neptulon from your sleeves. The current mode is thus not determined by outstanding skill, but almost entirely by luck – but it’s still fun.
Don’t forget that there’s again a chance to grab a free classic card pack. All you need to do is win a round in card chaos against a random player. As usual, you can convert the cards you get into Arcane Dust if needed, to craft other cards. A game is worth it for both veterans and newcomers alike.

In World of Warships, players have the opportunity to test new ships if they prove to be accurate shots.
A “kill steal” is referred to when one player deals the main damage to an opponent and another player comes by and delivers the finishing blow. This is quite frowned upon, and Wargaming is now encouraging it.
For the latest event, which runs until October 19, players can earn the right to either captain the Königsberg, a German cruiser, or the Ognewoj, a Russian destroyer. To do this, they must sink four enemy ships in a battle – the killing blow counts. For the Königsberg, four enemy ships must be sunk in a level IV Japanese ship; for the Ognewoj, it must be in a level IV American ship.

If players achieve the four kills (no matter how they did it), they can try out the respective ship until October 19. After that, it will disappear again. However, they will receive the experience they earned with it.

The Korean MMORPG Black Desert will be released in German, but it will not be a Free2Play game.
This is a surprise: Black Desert will not be released in the West as a “Free2Play” game like in Korea, but it will be a “Buy2Play” title. This means: You have to buy it once, but there will be no subscription fees. The intention is to change Black Desert and its game systems accordingly.
Additionally, it has been announced that Black Desert will be released not only in English but also in German and French. This will involve extensive translation work: 2.5 million words need to be translated.
http://youtu.be/VRavO3hh2G4
Alpha tests for Black Desert will start soon
As a fan site announced, alpha tests for the Western version of Black Desert will start soon.
Today, the official homepage of the Western version of Black Desert went live. There isn’t much to see on it yet – except for the trailer we embedded above.
In Destiny , the in-game cash shop has only been active for a few hours, and rumors are already surfacing that Bungie intends to expand the offerings to include “Pay2Win” items. What’s the truth?
Every player received 400 silver as a gift. Those who want to buy additional silver will find that the smallest package of 500 silver costs nearly 5 euros. So far, so good.
Will players soon lose their good mood?

Pay2Win elements are coming, stated in the Destiny forum
This morning, a furious post appeared on “Bungie.net”, Destiny’s forum, titled “Pay2Win is coming – I have the proof!”
A player claimed to have found indications in the database that soon “consumable items” would be added to the nearly pristine cash shop of the game, pushing Destiny into the disreputable “Pay2Win” corner. This term refers to when players can buy virtual advantages for real money.
To prove his allegations, the player cited the purchase screen of Tess Everis. It states that “consumable items cannot be returned.” While she is not currently selling any, the implication is clear: items that can only be used once are certainly on the way! The user found numerous items in the database, which he claims are new: all consumable items.
He concludes that players could soon purchase “buffs” for silver, thus indirectly for real money, to increase their drop chances in the hard mode of King’s Fall. He also found various EXP boosts for specific enemy races and boosts to level subclasses faster in the database.
The corresponding thread on Bungie.net has since been deleted. Gaming websites, including German sites, are reporting on it. There are forum threads, discussions are happening. The issue is circulating. It is causing panic and seems to confirm the concerns many have.
What does Bungie say about it?
On Neogaf, Luke Smith, the Game Director of “The Taken King”, has now addressed these allegations.
Smith writes that the items that increased drop chances in “King’s Fall” have been in the database for a while, but are not in the game. These files in the database were remnants of an idea that players could buy buffs from the “Speaker” – much like the “Three of Coins” from Xur. However, this idea was discarded due to bugs.
There was never a plan for players to purchase such raid drop buffs for silver.
On Twitter, Smith reiterates this.
We aren’t (nor are we planning) on selling consumables that buff King’s Fall drop rates for Silver.
Furthermore, Smith announced (while he was at it) that better rewards for the Nightfall strike are on the way. They plan to address that soon.
Mein MMO says: Interestingly, Smith specifically refutes only that one type of “consumable items.” However, he does not mention the “exp boosts” or other so-called “convenience” items. “Convenience” items refer to those exp boosts that save time but do not provide any “real” advantage beyond that.
As of now, it is still unclear whether the new cash shop has been introduced purely as an “additional” source of revenue for Bungie/Activision or if they intend to forego paid DLCs and instead only request payment for a larger expansion “once a year.” Rumors to that effect are also circulating. Bungie has not yet commented on this.

World of Tanks draws attention, even from the Russian army. It is suspected that today’s players will be the soldiers of tomorrow.
Doubleclick instead of Marathon
Once again, World of Tanks is causing a stir. Unlike the usual outcries about a too realistic war simulation, this time it is about the future of real battles. The Deputy Prime Minister of Russia, Dmitry Olegovich Rogozin stated on Twitter his unusual view: “We don’t need tank drivers, but the players of World of Tanks.” The reaction came after an announcement by a Russian arms company to produce unmanned tanks in the future.
From the game into reality? Players of World of Tanks should replace soldiers.
In the past, Rogozin had made such statements. In his opinion, the warfare of the future belongs to the “glasses-wearing nerds, who would defeat the trained athletes fighting on a lower technological level.”
What do you think about it? Does it sound too outlandish? Or could a good player become the tank drivers of the future with a little training? I personally find the thought a bit frightening, because it would be the first time the media could truly say: “He has already practiced killing in a computer game” – and they would be right.

If we you humans can never get enough of something, then it’s time. Even in our hobbies, it is becoming increasingly rare for us to fully commit to something: While we run through an instance, we listen to a Twitch stream in the background, during the loading screen of SMITE we squeeze in a short YouTube video, and while I am creating the thumbnail for this post, I am listening to Stephen King’s “Revival” as an audiobook.
Just afk
My personal favorite among the time wasters has been increasingly encountered in World of Warcraft in recent days. Since I primarily play healers and occasionally damage dealers, my wait times for random dungeons are usually relatively long; 20-40 minutes are not uncommon. When, after the second invitation (in the first one, a DPS always sleeps in), the round finally starts, we greet each other with a brief “Hi” or “Have fun” and then the damage numbers just roll over the screen.
However, a very special group of tanks seems to have conspired against me and my low wait tolerance and begins an instance visit with the cheerful statement: “Short afk,” followed by “WC,” “Smoking,” “getting something to drink,” or “washing the car.”
The invitation is there? Quickly accept and then afk!
I know, I know. I must be terribly conservative and really old-fashioned again. But Papa Demon and Mama Demon taught me back then that it’s incredibly rude for other people to have to wait longer for me. So, I kindly and gently ask here to the open community:
Why the Nether can’t you do these things before the instance?!
I’m not talking about unexpected emergencies. The phone can always ring or someone could be at the door; I fully understand that. But what really upsets me are these predictable interruptions that anyone who can count to 3 knows: “If I do this now, then I won’t hold up the whole group.”
So, I can only ascribe 2 things to these people: Either these people simply lack the empathy to imagine the annoying waiting, or they are doing it out of malice.
You can’t play with them, but unfortunately also not without them. Afk-tanks. Though… when I think about it, it goes very well without them. Image source
Maybe I’m just seeing the whole thing far too seriously and should practice a little more patience?
You know, that’s why I love role-playing so much. It is one of the few remaining activities for me where time doesn’t matter (Ha, pun! You didn’t see that coming!) and I can just stare at the screen expectantly for three minutes without having to do anything. Unless the shoe man needs attention again.
But enough complaining, after all, we can’t do without our tanks.
What do you think? Does such an “afk” group member annoy you too? Or can you stay calm, shrug your shoulders, or go afk yourself to annoy the remaining group even more?

These weapons can be ordered from Banshee-44 this week in Destiny
Anyone who has reached at least reputation 1 with Banshee-44 can place an order, which will be delivered the following week. The following five weapons are available:
The auto rifle Häkke Zarinea-D – suffers from extremely low impact, it’s a “pea shooter” build, but has good stability
The scout rifle Omnolon Tuonela SR4 – decent scout rifle with high stability, average impact, small magazine
The rocket launcher SUROS JLB-47 – strong rocket launcher with good blast radius and high range
The shotgun Häkke Strongbow-D – average shotgun with high stability, average impact, low range
The sniper rifle Häkke Aoife Rua-D – average impact, very high range
There aren’t really any “knockout” choices, all weapons have relatively high stability and balanced stats. Or did you discover a favorite? Maybe the scout rifle, the auto rifle, or the rocket launcher?
In the survival MMO H1Z1 there will be a player and server wipe today, along with a patch. The servers for H1Z1 will be down for a longer time.
Today, on October 14th, starting at 3:00 PM our time until approximately 7:00 PM, the servers for H1Z1 will be unreachable. A new patch will be deployed. This will be the first major patch after a long polishing and advertising phase .
Some servers in H1Z1 will be discontinued
A server and player wipe will take place. Life and death in the zombie apocalypse of H1Z1 will start from scratch. Names must also be reserved anew.
By the way, not all servers that were active yesterday will go live again. Some rarely used ones will be closed; the hope is to achieve better loading times and more action on the existing ones.
The beta of Star Wars Battlefront is over. A total of over 9 million players joined the battle.
Blasted until the lightsabers flew
All other major games faded last weekend as Star Wars Battlefront invited players to the open beta. Anyone interested in the game could download the shooter for free in a Battlefield-like manner and engage in battles at their leisure. In addition to the Republic rebels and the Empire stormtroopers, Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader also graced the battlefields to spread a little hope and peace death and devastation across the arenas.
More than 9 million players were attracted to the beta – the Star Wars hype still continues today.
More than 9 million players participated in the beta, making it the largest ever under the flag of EA. The developers are satisfied but reiterate that this is just a small taste of what players can expect with the full version.
Star Wars Battlefront will be released on November 19 in Europe, until then the developers want to polish the game and iron out any small issues.
For more information about the game, the various modes, and playable heroes, you can visit our Star Wars Battlefront theme page.
