The Red Dead rumour mill is in full swing
Just 24 hours after Rockstar released their last image that set the internet on fire, they've released a second image. If the last image of a the Rockstar games logo in black and red didn't give you the full Red Dead vibe, then the new image, which is the thumbnail to this article, should get you more excited. The image of 7 figures in western looking clothing and time appropriate guns seems to strongly point towards an announcement coming soon about a new Red Dead game. The rumours seem to have been great for Rockstar's parent company Take-Two Interactive, with the company's stocks rising 6.57% overnight. For more information, see the full story on Gamespot.
Sniper: Ghost Warrior 3 has been delayed

Diablo 4 announcement could be coming at Blizzcon
It seems there are a lot of rumours going around at the moment, and this one has been started by a dice. This year is the 20th anniversary of the Diablo series, and as a result, fans have been expecting that there would be some sort of announcement about the series at Blizzcon. Earlier on this year, some people took notice when t previews of the gift bag that attendees of Blizzcon would be receiving. Among the items was a set of Diablo-themed dice, including a four-sided one, also known as a d4, which people said pointed towards a Diablo 4 announcement. However, this dice has either a slight fault or an intentional tease that allows the dice to read 1-1-4 when rolled, which people are saying points to 11/4, or the 4th of November, which is the first day of Blizzcon.

Hearthstone releases a new, premium game mode
The Tavern Brawl has been a weekly game mode that changes each week that allows Blizzard to try out some fun game modes that wouldn't normally be possibly under the regular rules of the game. This week, the game mode is called the Heroic Tavern Brawl, and is a high stakes games with enormous rewards. The game mode requires a buy in of either 1000 in-game gold or 9.99USD, and will let you use your pool of cards to build a single deck. You will then be placed up against other players, and once you suffer 3 losses, you will be knocked out of the game mode, similar to how the arena game mode works in the game. But if you can make it all the way to 12 wins, which is the maximum possible, you could earn yourself some huge rewards. These include 50 card packs, huge sums of gold and dust for card crafting, as well as 3 golden legendary cards. For more information, see the full post on Hearthstone's website.
