We’ll see what makes Civilization 7 different on August 20 when Firaxis shows off the first gameplay of its ‘revolutionary new chapter’ in the grand strategy series-
I love a Civilization reveal. The grand strategy series has been going for 33 years, and Firaxis always finds something to change with each new one, always controversially. Civilization 6 unraveled cities into districts that span multiple hexes, for example. Will Civilization 7 stuff them back onto one tile? Or revamp something else entirely, like combat or the victory conditions? Will they make another stab at a battle royale mode? (Probably not.)
We’ll have answers later this month. First, we’ll see Civilization 7’s debut gameplay trailer at Opening Night Live, the Geoff Keighley showcase that precedes the Gamescom convention in Germany. That’ll be on August 20 at 11 am PT, viewable on the Gamescom Twitch channel.
Immediately after that, Firaxis will stream a 20 m…

Guardians of the Dream, the next major content update for World of Warcraft: Dragonflight, will go live on November 7, one week ahead of the launch of Dragonflight season 3.
Also known as patch 10.2, Guardians of the Dream will add a new zone called The Emerald Dream—an ancient dimension of Azeroth that has been in the lore for decades—with new quests, creatures, objectives, and other content, and a new public event called The Superbloom, a multi-tiered adventure with new rewards that will have players assisting the ancient Sprucecrown as he tends to the Emerald Dream’s world tree.

Read moreThat 2D League of Legends RPG from the Moonlighter devs just got an imminent release date and a gameplay trailer-
Two months after it was leaked by South Korea’s game rating board and three weeks after it was officially announced, The Mageseeker: A League of Legends Story has an imminent release date and a colourful new trailer to go with it. The game, which tells a story based around familiar LoL hero Sylas, is set to come out on April 18.
I’m not much of a LoL guy, but Mageseeker looks pretty intriguing based on what we’ve seen so far. It’s being made by Digital Sun—the same devs who made the rather good shop-sim roguelite Moonlighter—and promises a “2D pixel action RPG” where you lead a magical revolt against the tyrannical Mageseekers who rule the kingdom of Demacia. There are several proper nouns in there that don’t mean much to me at all, but I’m up for steering a revolution…
Read moreYup, PC monitor sales have cratered too and are getting worse-
PC monitor sales were down 5.9% in 2022. If that doesn’t sound too catastrophic, the final quarter of 2022 was down 18.3% compared to the same period in 2021 and added up to the worst quarter on record. So yeah, the latest data is pretty ugly.
This is all according to the market data cork sniffers at analyst outfit IDC. Total PC monitor units shipped in Q4 2022 was just over 30.5 million units, the lowest number since IDC began tracking the market in 2008.
The dip in the PC monitor market mirrors that of CPUs and graphics cards, of course. IDC said the contraction was expected on two counts. First, the patchy global economic environment. Second, an inevitable downturn following a spike in shipments to meet pandemic driven demand for work-at-home and gaming hardware.…

GIFT Nifty traded up 0.11% at 19,717, during Thursday’s early trading session, indicating a positive opening for domestic indices NSE Nifty 50 and BSE Sensex. The benchmark domestic indices ended Wednesday’s trading session in positive territory. The NSE Nifty 50 gained 0.26% to settle at 19,716.45, while the BSE Sensex added over 170 points to 66,118.69.
“The impending rebound in select heavyweights like Reliance and ITC largely contributed to the recovery. We are eyeing 19,750 in Nifty as an immediate hurdle and its break may prompt further rebound else profit taking would resume. Amid all, the scheduled monthly expiry of derivative contracts would keep the volatility high so plan your trades accordingly,” said Ajit Mishra, SVP – Technical Researc…
