For those of you that might not be aware, Blizzard recently announced that Lucio from Overwatch will soon be joining the Heroes of the Storm roster. As with Zarya and Tracer that came before him, Lucio's Heroes of the Storm incarnation will arrive with all of the same spells and effects that make him so ridiculously good in Overwatch... and yes, this does include the ability to wall-ride!

If you're wondering what all of these spells look like in action, and more importantly, what fancy new skins you'll be able to get when the update goes live, here's the recently posted preview video showcasing just that:

Resident Evil 7 family portrait artwork

If you were unsuccessfully trying to play Resident Evil 7 while below or around the minimum system requirements, you might want to patch the game and see how you fare. The reason I'm saying this is because a recent update has added support for older generation CPUs, or more specifically, the game no longer requires the SSSE3 SIMD instruction set.

What this means in practical terms is that Resident Evil 7 is now capable of running on CPUs that are well over a decade old! You mileage will obviously vary as the developers aren't really capable of performing miracles, but if you're around the minimum system requirements you might just get to play it.

World of Warcraft's WoW Token

For those of you that might not know, WoW Tokens arrived in 2015 as a way for players to exchange in-game gold for 30 days of World of Warcraft game time. As you might imagine, this little experiment ended up being a massive success, and even though World of Warcraft's economy is in a constant state of inflation the WoW Token brought some much-needed value to the otherwise useless gold.

But now things have become even more interesting! In a recent update Blizzard has made it so you can transform your WoW Tokens into Battle.Net Balance, which is a fancy way of saying that you can now purchase Blizzard games and in-game items with World of Warcraft gold. If you're wondering how all of this works, here's the recently posted Blizzard video:

Rainbow Six Siege's Operation Velvet Shell operators artwork

Rainbow Six Siege has recently been updated with Operation Velvet Shell, which among the variety of bug fixes and UI tweaks has also added two new Operators, as well as a free map by the name of Coastline. The two new Operators, Mira and Jackal, are currently exclusive to Season Pass owners, but don't worry, you'll be able to unlock them with Renown or R6 Credits in less than a week.

If you're wondering what the new map looks like, and more importantly, what the two new Operators bring to the table, here's the recently posted preview video. There isn't much pure gameplay in there, but it should still get the point across. Anyway, here's the video:

Pillars of Eternity 2 characters

When Pillars of Eternity 2: Deadfire first begun its Fig crowndfunding campaign Obsidian put multi-classing as the initial stretch goal. This naturally led to some concerns about balance, because trying to keep a couple of classes relatively equal is a nearly impossible task, let alone trying to do the same balancing act with fifty of them!

In order to put some of these concerns to rest Obsidian has recently posted a detailed video going over how exactly multi-classing will work in Pillars of Eternity 2: Deadfire. If this sounds incredibly boring to you, worry not as Game Director Josh Sawyer has quite the talent for making explanations interesting. Anyway, here's the video:
