Also included in this week’s unlocks for World of Warcraft are world bosses and Mythic + 5-man dungeons. In addition to loot, the world bosses will help players earn new artifact appearances via Unleashed Monstrosities, and may even drop hidden artifact appearances for some classes. Additionally, if you’ve been looking for a little more prestige and difficulty out of your 5-man experiences, you can start collecting Mythic Keystones to make your runs just a little more involved. A full preview of the system was also offered on the official website just last week. Some dungeon modifiers include increasing health and damage by bosses (Tyrannical), constant player-damage (Decay), and an all-time tank favorite where tanks generate less threat (Skittish). Various achievements will be rewarded according to Keystone use and progress, in addition to the improved loot the reward system includes.

Finally, for those who run to the beat of a different World of Warcraft drum, today also marks the start of Legion‘s first PVP season. Are you going to start raiding today? Let us know in the comments, or talk to us on Twitter and Facebook.

KH3 Prologue Gets New Launch Date & Trailer

During the 2016 PlayStation Press Conference in Japan earlier today, updates were given on a number of titles. This included Final Fantasy XV, as well as the new PS4 System Software Update. For dedicated Kingdom Hearts fans however, it was announced that the prequel to Kingdom Hearts 3 would be delayed until at least January 12, 2017 in Japan, and January 24, 2017 in North American markets. In E3 2016, Kingdom Hearts 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue (KH2.8) was originally set for a December 2016 release.

While slipping release dates are not uncommon in gaming production, hardcore fans of the series may worry that this delay will further push the highly anticipated Kingdom Hearts 3 down the line. However, the launch of the prequel will hopefully give fans something engaging to tide them over until Kingdom Hearts 3 is released. A new trailer for KH2.8 was launched alongside the announcement, featuring stunning graphical updates to the engine as well as an overview of what’s to come. KH2.8 itself is built from the KH3 engine and will include a new storyline to set the stage for KH3‘s events. The title also includes a remaster of Kingdom Hearts: Dream Drop Distance, as well as a new side-quest story, Kingdom Hearts Chi: Back Cover.

Unfortunately, Kingdom Hearts fans will have to wait until later this year for further information about Kingdom Hearts 3.
