In the final episode of Azeroth Choppers the votes are in! For the finale both teams have come together to count the votes and reveal the all important winner. Will it be Alliance or Horde? The idea for the program is really cool, not only did the teams have to design a bike with the style of World of Warcraft but they actually built them!

Watch the episode to find out which bike will be making into the Warlords of Draenor expansion and enjoy the engineering!

If you haven’t been following the series you can watch them all on the official site.

Grab a front-row seat for the ultimate road showdown! Legendary custom motorcycle designer Paul Jr. has assembled two handpicked teams of bike experts to bring to life a pair of asphalt-kicking chopper designs inspired by World of Warcraft®’s two warring factions. Joining each crew on their epic quest are members of the World of Warcraft development team, on board to help to infuse the essence of the Horde and the Alliance into each bike. In the end, only one chopper will reign supreme as the undisputed king of Azeroth’s roads in a winner-takes-all showdown voted on by World of Warcraft players around the globe.

Many have said it’s a long time overdue but we finally get to have a look at the new visuals for Summoner’s Rift on the League of Legends. The preview video is work in progress but it already looks much better than the old visuals. Follow Garen on a short trip through the new map, everything has been updated to look cleaner. All the minions camps have great looking upgrades, with the Dragon and Baron Nashor having much cooler entrances too.

Given the importance of Summoner’s Rift to League of Legends, the fundamental structure of the map remains untouched. Flashable walls, turret ranges, lane sizes, brush interaction and ward placements are exactly as they are on the current map. The intention is to keep moment-to-moment League of Legends the same while improving gameplay through additional clarity.

What clarity translates to is the updated map doing a better job of drawing eyes to the most important information of the moment. When fights break out, the environment should be the background, allowing particle effects and champions to pop off the screen and feed players the crucial data they need to make the right play.

Watch the video and let us know what you think!

CCP Games launched Kronos today, the first release in their development cadence for EVE Online, the award-winning sci-fi MMO that has grown each of its eleven years.

Kronos focuses on the continued decline of the four major empires and celebrates the concurrent rise of pirate factions and player influence across the constellations. It also heralds a change in EVE’s development structure, replacing two major expansions per year with up to ten releases. The change allows for more ambitious features, quicker delivery of content and functionality, and provides more frequent updates for players to look forward to. Honestly I prefer it when companies do this, it can keep a game feeling fresh.

Here’s a peek at what you can expect to see in game.

Check out the new effects on jumping, I love the sounds!

In Kronos, EVE’s legendary space combat will forever change thanks to the new and deadly Mordu’s Legion ships, a stealthy mining frigate, and 38 other rebalanced ships and drones. Gorgeous visual changes include reimagined solar flares, warp effects and new ship skins. An entirely customizable soundscape allows players to tailor their own audio experience.

Low-security space sites and dozens of other changes round out Kronos and set the stage for the massive industry features coming in July’s Crius release.

For a detailed breakdown on everything Kronos has to offer go to the official website.

One thing that’s missing from the list and currently the most popular reddit comment is the option to turn 3rd person on and off. I think this is pretty important too because it will greatly change the feel of the game and how you must play.
