Welcome to this month’s Gaming update, obviously the first thing I should mention is the changes to the FIST staff, I would like to welcome both Savant Junazee and Seer Uji Tameike as our new Magistrates for a 6 month term. They have already hit the ground running with ideas, submission approvals and new competitions. So feel free to congratulate them and ask them for any assistance you may have as well.
Also as you might have guess this report is a little late due to the fact of the holiday weekend but also if i were to get it out on time I’d would have missed all the cool new gaming news that hit over the weekend. As you may all know by now Destiny 2 is due in September and Star Wars Battlefront 2 (not the one from 2005) will drop in November of this year. Of course not to mention all the other news from Overwatch, Heroes of the Storm, Diablo 3, Starcraft and Destiny 1 as well.
So without further delay let’s get into the fun part of this update.
OK, so lets get the BIG news done first Star Wars Battlefront II is coming this November and during this past weekend at SW: Celebration they dropped this stunning TRAILER. This game will have a lot of things the first game didn’t, a SP story, Every SW era and more exciting heroes. The one huge thing it won’t have is a Season Pass, so that in itself should be very very interesting change. I do hope this is a lot better than the first game so join me in following the latest news on it’s Official Site. Remember, whatever new info or trailers are released I’ll do what I can to highlight them for you here.

A new map and a Hero have already been released. While a new cinematic and 2 new heros (Genji and ???) will be release on the 25th as well. Honestly, there is so many new changes I can’t list them all here but you can check them all out on the HoTS 2.0 site.
