5 Things You Didn’t Know About Hyrule Warrior’s Linkle
Hyrule Warriors isn’t short on strong female fighters, but from the moment fans uncovered a concept drawing of a woman dressed in Link’s signature green tunic, they wanted one more added to the roster.

Bungie is taking a new approach to future support for Destiny: The Taken King, with plans to offer smaller, event-based content rather than large-scale DLC packs.
In an interview with Eurogamer, senior designer Derek Carroll discussed the studio's new strategy. "With Taken King we are moving to a more event-based model - things like Festival of the Lost and Sparrow racing, which is our winter event, and then smaller events such as Iron Banner and Trials of Osiris every weekend," he said.

Here’s Our First Look at the Witcher 3’s Second Expansion
We have our first look at The Witcher 3's second expansion, Blood and Wine, courtesy of two new screenshots from CD Projekt Red.
The images show a very different environment than the squalid and war torn climes mostly seen in the main game. That's because Blood and Wine takes place in Toussaint, a duchy far to the south of The Witcher 3's Northern realms.
That shouldn't mean there won't be anything for Witcher Geralt to investigate and subsequently slay. The press release accompanying the shots describes Toussaint as a place "where an atmosphere of carefree indulgence and knightly ritual masks an ancient, bloody secret."
