New Battlefield Reveal Soon! [Link]

The reveal, which we’ve all felt coming, for the next Battlefield game is coming next month (June)!

This reveal was arguably teased back in April via EA’s blog and was even further cemented by a tweet on May 10th stating, “Words that rhyme with ‘soon:’ June. Boom.”

If true, Battlefield will not be first announced during the EA Play event on July 22, but a month ahead; Giving the title its own spotlight.

As for the era and features on the new Battlefield, we know nothing. At least I don’t! Can’t wait!

New World Expeditions, A Closer Look [Link]

First of all, New World released a new trailer the other day. Go watch it!

Thanks to MMORPG.com’s attendance at a recent press event, we get a few more details on Expeditions.

5-man, instanced PvE content that most MMO players are familiar with.

So far they seem pretty linear, similar to WoW instances.

Some “trash mobs” actually have spawners you have to destroy

Still rely on the age-old “Holy Trinity” of tank/dps/healer

Recent weapon additions to the Alpha! Rapier, Ice Gauntlet, Spears

Rapier: DoT based DPS tree and a Defensive tree with parries/counters

Ice Gauntlet: Actually more a crowd control weapon so far, not many details.

Spear: Not much of a description yet, but seen in the new trailer being thrown, expectedly.
