According to a recent report, sales of items inside video
game showed a more profitable business for Activision Blizzard than selling the
titles themselves.

opposed to the implementation of micro-transactions in modern video games, they
do not hesitate to open their own wallets to spend money on such virtual
products. Namely, some companies have already confirmed that selling items
within a games earns them more money than selling games themselves, and

Rainbow Six Siege emerged in a serious eSports title
The Rainbow Six Pro League will be divided into two seasons, each of which
will last for six months: from June to November 2018 and from December 2018 to
May 2019. The world's largest eSports organizations have already formed their
Rainbow Six Siege teams while some are still looking for their future stars.
If you do not know yet Rainbow Six Siege is a tactical first-person shooter
in which a team of five people is trying to defend or destroy a bomb site.
Ubisoft released the game at the end of 2015 and has so far accumulated an
enviable number of players playing on a daily basis. The creator's original
idea was to focus on eSports, and new players would be able to embark on a
ranked play and competing for themselves after the twentieth level.

The fifth season For Honor comes in a few days, and with dedicated servers
Ubisoft officially confirmed that
the fifth season of hack & slash action game For Honor, known as Age of
Wolves, will start on February 15 and that only a few days later its PC version
will get long-deserved dedicated servers. On this occasion, Ubisoft has not
been precise when dedicated servers can be expected on consoles, but coming to
the PC should result in much better matchmaking and more fluid and stable
matches.
One of the biggest minuses of
last year's For Honor game was definitely the P2P network multiplayer
performance. In short, that performance has made it easier to launch the game,
lowering some online traffic to the players. The adverse effects of this were
the slowdown and general breaks during the match. For one game that relied so
much on the multiplayer component, Ubisoft's move was "inexpensive"
in the absence of another description.
Ash of Gods - A visual novel designed as a turn-based RPG with a roguelike story

turn us into brave people who are willing to make difficult decisions and
sacrifice others and also to stop the devastation of darkness and death that
destroys their homeland.
Last year, American Independent
Studio AurumDust presented its first project on Kickstarter; and as it used to
be, they asked the generous people who saw the potential in their projectto
fund them. Given that nearly two thousand people supported their idea with just
over half a million dollars this year, we will enjoy a visual novel called Ash
of Gods.

Fear the Wolves - Battle royale game in irradiated Chernobyl
Fear the Wolves takes place, like
S.T.A.L.K.E.R., in the creepy radiation-blasted wasteland of Chernobyl. Deadly
anomalies constantly threaten your health, and mutated forms lurking in the
shadows.
With the massive success of PUBG
and the free-to-play battle royale mode in Fortnite it should come as no
surprise that developers are starting to hop on the bandwagon. The people who
brought us S.T.A.L.K.E.R., after they left the GSC Game World, they joined
together under a newly-founded studio called Vostok Games - from which they
launched Steam Early Access game Survarium, a shooter multiplayer game in 2015.
With Survarium still in development, Vostok Games presents its new game,
derived from the ever-increasing popularity of the Battle Royale genre, called
