Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft Delayed
Blizzard has decided to postpone the launch of the online card game Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft until January 2014. The exact date is not announced yet, but given the winter holidays, it should be expected closer to the second half of the month.
However, all those who are really waiting for Hearthstone, had the opportunity to try out the game as part of the closed beta test - simultaneously with the news about the postponement of the game Blizzard sent out invitations to everyone who has applied earlier for the test. And if you decide to apply for it right now, you'll get the invitation within hours.
DayZ Standalone Alpha Sales Exceed All Expectations
Developers fulfilled their long-standing promise to launch the alpha version of the game during winter - though a year later than promised. Nonetheless it did not deter fans from the project - in the first day Bohemia Interactive has sold 172,000 pieces of DayZ early access. Despite the fact that the game is still in a very raw shape.
Alpha version is far from DayZ Standalone we have all been waiting for. Developers obviously need at least few months to ensure that the game will be acceptable. Read our review of DayZ Standalone Alpha here.
Warhammer Online Servers Shut Down Permanently
On December 19th EA Mythic has shut down Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning servers permanently. The game was launched in September 2008 and initially proved to be very popular. The project was mainly focused on PvP-mode. But developers have not been able to bring balance into the gameplay and later even decided not to release it as a free-to-play game.
Andrew Meggs, one of the developers of the project, published an open letter to Electronic Arts officially asking them to allow him to make a single-player version of the game. So, we may still have a chance to see Warhammer.
