Coming from the FIST Gaming Network offices, I bring you yet another month of gaming news and competitions to wet your appetite. Unfortunately since we are in the slow gaming news part of the year there isn’t much to update you on, since many of the new SW games are slated for the end of the year. To make up for this lack of news we switch gears and look at the new content and changes coming for the games in our current gaming library.
The blizzard games Overwatch and Diablo 3 are expecting big updates “soon” and SWTOR just recently dropped a new game update that added a lot of new stuff into the game. So if you're a fan of these games then go check out the new stuff.
In an effort to tailor this report to you the member, please leave suggestions in the comments about what you like to see me cover or by all means shoot me an email.
As always you should read the latest FIST Report, since it always has important news that affects our gaming community the most. Make sure you read the section on how games get supported, which is important since we have 2 games in the process of being tested now.
Coming this June is the EA Play Event , where EA plans to unviel its new games, including hopefully news on all the upcoming SW games it has in the pipeline. Once we get any information about these games they will be brought to your attention ASAP.
Want to know what the critics think are the Best games of 2016? Well, take a look at Metacritic’s list, IGN’s List and Games Radar. How many did you play or want to play?
Not to always be looking backwards to the past, let's look to the future. So here is a list of 44 Upcoming games that people are watching intensely. What game or games are you dying to play or get more information about? Are there any not on the list you are excited about?
For our SWTOR Players you can now enjoy 250% bonus XP and command XP from now to April 10th! Time for you to level up and enjoy the Defend the Throne update!
Since Diablo 3 is making a comeback, members should already be aware of these rumors. With Season 9 coming to an end sometime in the next few weeks, everyone is now wondering when will Season 10 start. Oh and also, when will the Necro finally be released and for what price? If you are bored waiting for it why not try some Diablo 3 Mahjong?
Our Overwatch players also have rumors and changes abound, like Unity Day and DOOMFIST?. Did you know that in 2016 there were more articles written about OW then any other game? Also, did you ever wonder what your favorite OW characters would look like in N64’s Goldeneye? Well, wonder no more.
Blizzard is combating Korean Hackers in a big way and it will bring changes to everyone who plays on Battle.net. Read about it HERE.

It’s nice to see the gaming community is hitting a nice stride and I am happy to announce that there is a healthy amount of gaming submissions coming in, but like in all things we would also love to see more.

Awesome report Edgar!! :) Totally doing some gaming this weekend for Gorefest :)
Great stuff!
Does this mean that those of us who own a European version of Diablo 3, will no longer be able to play with the people playing in the Americas?
Great post/update, but the FIST-o-Matic link is broken
Thanks fur the heads up on the link. I'll fix it when I get to a computer.
Same with the joining DB gaming link. I also have something you could do some research on to bring into the next report that some here may be interested in. VR gaming, and how it does/can/will apply to DB gaming. VR will only grow in the times to come, and knowing how it impacts us in the gaming community may help us prepare for future members/Star Wars games. Just some food for thought.
All in all, great report. Love the new layout, and look forward to next month's update!
Fist-O-Matic link fixed and DB gaming works for me. Anyone else having a issue PM me.
As for VR Games and gaming I'll bring it up with the staff and only time will tell if VR gaming will the way the industry goes or not. But it's been on my watch list for a while now.
@Rulvak if you have a proposal or recommendation, feel free to draft that up and submit it to me and my staff.
Standards for supporting a game, whether it's Console, PC, or mobile still apply. See my most recent FIST report for more details.
