One of the biggest changes to the competitive Hearthstone scene this year has been the introduction of Grandmasters – a league-style system featuring 48 of the top players in the world, divided into three regions: APAC, North America and Europe, each with 16 players. The second season of Grandmasters started quite recently, and sees players battling it out every weekend to try and come out on top in their respective region and earn a place at the Hearthstone Global Finals at BlizzCon. Season 2 will also see two players from each region relegated to make room for fresh faces, so the stakes are high. On top of that, this season has also introduced a new format, moving away from Specialist towards a modified version of Conquest. You can find out what a number of Hearthstone pros think about that change here.

Among the new features in this month’s NHL 20 are Alumni Teams, which are squads featuring legacy players and even teams altogether that no longer exist.

There are 33 Alumni Teams in NHL 20. Among the former teams featured in the game are the Hartford Whalers, the Minnesota North Stars, and the Quebec Nordiques. The rest are teams that still exist today but they feature rosters of some of the best players from each team’s history.

Hailing from Connecticut myself, I am particularly excited to play as The Whalers. The team played its final game in Hartford in 1997, before moving to Raleigh, North Carolina where they became the Carolina Hurricanes. Mark Rein, the co-founder and vice president of Fortnite studio Epic Games, is one of the minority investors in the Hurricanes.

During last year’s NHL season, the Hurricanes played the Bruins in Hartford Whalers jerseys as part of a commemorative event. They even played the famous Whalers “Brass Bonanza” goal-celebration song. Check it out in the video clip below from the NHL.

NHL 20 launches on September 13 for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. In other news, EA Sports has officially announced the Top 50 highest-rated players, and Connor McDavid is No. 1.

Activision’s big new Call of Duty game, the Modern Warfare reboot, launches in October. It’s poised to be one of 2019’s biggest games. But how long will it take to beat?

As with pretty much all games, the way you play will determine how long it takes to beat. That’s also true for Modern Warfare, studio narrative director Taylor Kurosaki told Game Informer. That being said, Kurosaki said players can expect Modern Warfare’s campaign length to be “in line” with what players would expect from a Call of Duty game.

“It varies greatly,” Kurosaki said. “The length of this campaign is exactly in line with the lengths of what you would expect in a contemporary Call of Duty campaign.”

Campaign is just one element of the new Modern Warfare. The game also features multiplayer, which adds the large-scale Ground War mode this year, along with a Spec Ops co-op mode. The game doesn’t feature a Zombies mode, and there are no current plans for battle royale.

The new Modern Warfare launches on October 25 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. In a big change for the series, there will be cross-play multiplayer support between competing consoles.

Early access to the upcoming multiplayer beta for Modern Warfare begins September 12 on PS4, while the open beta starts September 14 on Sony’s system before it extends to Xbox One and PC at some point later on.
