World of Warcraft: Midnight’s prepatch officially rolled out this week. The reception to the update almost immediately made Blizzard realize that the “transmog revolution” they had anticipated was actually driven by angry fans demanding—and ultimately receiving—cheaper outfits along the way.
Meanwhile, Ashes of Creation downplayed its recent layoffs, aiming to reassure its community about the future of the project. At the same time, Ubisoft’s ongoing challenges continued to unfold, contributing to what some are calling a period of self-immolation for the company.
In related news, footage from Project Blackbird was recently released, offering fans a glimpse into this highly anticipated title.
