Epic Games’ Paragon will be receiving a new ranged caster on April 4th with Morigesh. The creepy new hero received an abilities overview video which you can see below.

Morigesh’s abilities include Mark, which sees her mark a hero and deal damage to them. Targets stay marked until dead or another target is chosen. Hive sends several insects at enemies, which explode and deal damage over time. Each tick of damage will also slow targets.

Swarm sees Morigesh transform into a swarm of insects, providing increase movement speed and the ability to phase enemies, dealing damage and regenerating health. Finally, there’s Curse which summons a swarm to stab the last marked target.

Paragon is currently available for PC and PS4 as a free to play title. What are your thoughts on Morigesh and her dangerous abilities? Let us know in the comments below and stay tuned for more information when she goes live.

During its Spring Summit for Heroes of the Storm, Blizzard Entertainment introduced some fairly big changes coming with update 2.0. This includes a new hero – Cassia from Diablo 2.

Progression is being overhauled and there will be no level caps. Player level will be the total number of hero levels gained. Even XP gained past the level cap will be taken into account.

You can also expect less XP for each level and a loot chests whenever you level up. These are only basic loot chests – rare and epic loot is obtained with certain milestones. You’re guaranteed one rare item in a rare chest and an epic item from the epic chest along with chances of higher rarity items.

Items will include up to four items which can be heroes, portraits, announcer packs and voice lines. There will also be new banners, emojis and sprays for use in-game. If you want, Gold can be spent to reroll loot chests.

The full changes can be gleaned here. What are your thoughts on the evolution of Heroes of the Storm? Let us know below.

Epic Games has a new hero coming to its MOBA Paragon and it’s Shinbi, a pop star known for using Spirit Wolves in her performance. Check out her admittedly cheesy but still entertaining announcement video below.

Shinbi is a melee assassin who relies on her wolves to decimate enemies. Rushing Beat allows her to dash through enemies and damage them; after triggering it once, she can reactivate it for a second dash.

Then there’s Line Tempo, which sends a Spirit Wolf out in a straight path. It will damage any minions it passes through but explodes when hitting an enemy Hero. Circle Rhythm sees four wolves circling around Shinbi for 4 seconds, damaging nearby enemies and healing her.

Her Ultimate is “All-Kill!” – while passive, all of your abilities put a Spirit Wolf stack per hit on an enemy Hero (up to 8 stacks). When activated, a wolf pack will hit the Hero with the highest number of stacks. Each wolf hit counts for one stack.

Shinbi will be going live for Paragon on PS4 and PC on February 21st. Check out the ability overview video below for a better idea of her skills.

Epic Games’ Paragon will be receiving a new hero (yes, another hero) on July 12th with Greystone. You can check out his abilities below in a new announcement trailer.

Greystone specializes in team fights. “Assault the Gates” sees him closing in on certain targets while “Make Way” deals damage around him. To make things even more interesting, his ultimate “Reforged” turns Greystone to, well, stone and allows him to respawn with full mana and knocking enemies into the air. It should be interesting to see how his warrior/tank-like fighting style works within the current set-up.

Paragon is currently in paid Early Access for PS4 and PC. It will enter into open beta on August 16th and has recently received updates to its Daily Wins system, Weekly Quests, overall interface and gameplay changes. What are your thoughts on Greystone? Let us know in the comments below and stay tuned for more information.

While there are plenty of people anxiously awaiting the arrival of the Xbox One console exclusive Gigantic, there were some hiccups getting the game to market. Now those hiccups might be solved as Motiga has handed over publishing duties to Perfect World Entertainment. The announcement of the new publisher comes just a few months after Motiga announced it was in serious financial trouble, even having to lay off staff.

That could mean that there’s now an influx of cash so we might not have to wait long for it to hit the market. However, it’s not clear whether this partnership means those who were laid off will be brought back.

Gigantic was supposed to release last year and went through a number of betas.  The game, which is said to support cross-platform (meaning Xbox One and Windows 10) cooperative play is now back on track. Gigantic still doesn’t have a release date, but at least it will be released at some point.

Motiga’s Gigantic, the Xbox One and Windows 10 MOBA that was announced at E3 2015, is in trouble. The developer recently announced that it had to lay off a significant portion of its staff today for a temporary period due to its financial situation.

“It is with deep heartache that Motiga announces the temporary layoff of a significant percentage of our studio today. Our financial situation is such that we are unable to continue supporting the entirety of the studio at this time. Though we are in active and promising discussions with a number of potential investors, the timing for those negotiations extends beyond the resources we have to maintain the staffing required to continue development on Gigantic.”

If Motiga doesn’t attract significant investment, it may need to cancel Gigantic. At this point, even closed beta support is looking tricky.

“It is of course our goal, and our deep hope, that we are able to secure the necessary funding in the near future in order to bring Gigantic to market.

“We would like to thank everyone for their support over the last few months, and while the situation is far from ideal, the sheer number of people that have enjoyed playing Gigantic has affirmed what we’ve believed all along: while we still have a lot of work to do to polish the experience for the players, the current closed beta version of our game introduces a legitimately fun gameplay experience with great promise for the future.”

Epic Games has released a new gameplay video for its third person action MOBA Paragon which is currently in closed alpha testing. The video covers updates made to the alpha and various changes that players should take note of.

These include changes to movement speed; an updated replay system; changes to game balance; performance optimizations; and a death recap system. Paragon is currently in the closed alpha testing phase for PC but the PS4 is expected to receive a closed test as well in the coming months. Head here to sign up for future tests in the meantime.

Paragon will have an open beta this Summer but will enter Early Access in Spring for PC. Thus far, the gameplay has showcased a mix of third person action with the traditional MOBA abilities, team-play and minion battling. Is that enough to warrant one’s time especially with all the MOBAs currently around? We’ll find out later this year but let us know your thoughts about Paragon in the comments below.

Epic Games’ Paragon, a hybrid shooter/MOBA, was one of the bigger wild cars at Sony’s PlayStation Experience keynote, especially since it will be coming to the PS4 and PC. Though we got a look at the game through a pre-rendered announcement trailer, we were left wanting for the actual gameplay to be shown.

Thankfully, some new gameplay has been released courtesy of the on-going alpha test. The footage released serves as a decent tutorial of sorts while also showing off the various mechanics. On the surface, it’s interesting to see all the different abilities of each character but we’ll be waiting to see how it actually pans out in terms of balance, map design, etc.

Paragon will be releasing sometime in 2016 for PC. What are your thoughts on the gameplay footage? Let us know in the comments below and we’ll update you with more information on the game in the coming months.

The big, final announcement at the end of PlayStation Experience was not a new God of War, or a new Crash Bandicoot, or even a new Sony Bend game. It was… the announcement that Paragon, Epic’s new upcoming PC MOBA, will be coming to the PS4 as well.

If you have been following our footage of Paragon, you know it’s a pretty interesting looking title. If it sounds like something you would be able to get into, maybe the PS4 version is for you. As for me, well, I can’t stand MOBAs, and I think that another one really is the last thing that gaming needs right now. But hey, good for PS4!

You can check out the announcement trailer for this for yourself below. Not included in this announcement trailer- the abrupt and awkward way that this conference ended right after the trailer was done.

Riot Games has decided to revamp the client for League of Legends, it’s insanely popular MOBA which is played by millions worldwide. The developer is looking to overhaul its client completely and introduce new features for fans.

These include a new interface with a brand new look; social features like Parties and Clubs; a Friends mobile app along with a standalone Friends list for organizing your contacts while in-game; better support for future content updates and much more.

Though a specific date for the updated client hasn’t been revealed, Riot will be inviting level 30 players with positive reputations to volunteer in an alpha client through the 2016 season. Sign-ups will start next year itself so in the meantime, stay tuned for more information on the main site.
