Star Wars: The Old Republic is going to get a new expansion in a few months time. And it’ll be centered around Revan, a character from Knights of the Old Republic.

The expansion will be called Shadow of Revan and will add story-based content to the game about Revan going rogue and starting his own army to oppose both Imperial and Republic forces and the goal of demolishing both sides among other things.

Priced at around $19.99/£13, Shadow of Revan will include five new stages, two new worlds the pirate paradise of Rishi and the jungle world of Yavin 4, an increased level cap of 69 and a whole bunch of new multiplayer Flashpoints and Operations challenges.

There’s also some pre-order bonuses as well as a special subscriber pre-order bonus. If ordered before November 2nd, non-subs will receive one week of Early Access before the grand opening of the new expansion parts to all, the digital expansion: Rise of the Hutt Cartel, and an exclusive grand statue of Revan to display in their Player Stronghold. Subscribers get all this and a 12x experience boost in class story missions up to Level 55 until the day before release. If pre-ordered after November 2nd, Early Access won’t be included but everything else will be.

Shadow of Revan will release on December 2nd for the PC-based MMO.

Today on their special site for The Crew game, Ubisoft announced the release date for all platforms as well as outlining the plans for another console closed beta before then.

The Crew will be officially released on December 2nd it seems across all platforms. This they say will give extra time to “allow for a second closed console beta to be held, giving even more players the opportunity to experience the game”. This will give time for them to collect more user feedback like they have done with previous betas before the full release of the game.

The Crew’s release was originally set for a November 11th date, but feedback from the last three Betas means that Ubisoft have decided to take the time to make some changes based on what users said they would like to see. Among the changes are the ability to remove the HUD if wanted, some tweaks to enemy AI and enhancements to voice-chat.

Crusader Kings 2 is about to get an expansion, and it’s coming quite soon.

The Charlemagne expansion will give you 100 more years to play with, as well as new kingdoms, characters and events. The assassination button has been removed which means now that plotting another’s demise is somewhat harder to do. On the bright side if you;’re on the wrong end of a plot to murder yourself, you’ve more defensive options including going into hiding to reduce the success rate. That means appointing a regent to rule in your stead though and obviously that brings its own issues with it.

The expansion will release October 14th.

A recent update to Blizzard’s Battle.net launcher seems to hint that talk at last year’s Blizzcon of tweaking the older Warcraft games to work better on newer computers might actually finally be about to offer up the games in question.

Added into the launcher are a bunch of icons, backgrounds and logos for Warcraft III, currently locked but looking pretty much ready for use. It was mentioned at Blizzcon 2013 that Blizzard had a small team working on updates to help the games run on present day Windows. Currently while it is possible to get Warcraft III and the previous two games to run on a modern computer, there is a lot of fiddling around with settings and tweaking to get it to run properly. There’s also a lack of support for the native resolutions too.

It is currently unknown when Warcraft III will become available through the launcher, and in what form. Just the game, tweaked to enable smooth running without the faff or will there be some TLC applied in the form of HD graphics and some extra content? Blizzcon 2014 is drawing closer so expect to hear something about it there.

The developers of Firefall, an FPS-MMO have recently been joining in the fun with players as they set themselves against them in what is called the “Chosen Offensive” event. This involves them attacking the most popular outposts in all Accord-owned territories and last week they players won. So the developers are going all out for the final event.

The developers will be out in force in the form of powerful Chosen bosses, and slaying them will net rewards for the players. Players logged in for an hour receive a bunch of in-game titles as well as 7 days of VIP, and everyone who takes part will receive a Chosen glider and an Earthbreaker Hologram pet.

You can also earn the follow in relation to your war efforts:

“Stalker” – Complete 5 Chosen Offensive encounters = 100 credits
“Hunter” – Complete 10 Chosen Offensive encounters = 200 Credits and 1 Silver Vending Token
“Destroyer” – Complete 15 Chosen Offensive encounters = 300 Credits and 1 Silver Vending Token
“Conqueror” – Complete 30 Chosen Offensive encounters = 400 Credits and 1 Gold Vending Token
