Fan art unites the heroes of Arrow ** , Supergirl ** , The Flash ** , Legends of Tomorrow ** , and **Black Lightning ** in the style of the Justice League San Diego Comic-Con poster. While Warner Bros. is gearing up to premiere their blockbuster adaptation of DC Comics' most famous superhero team this fall, The CW has been developing their small screen DC-inspired universe since Arrow premiered in 2012. Since then, Oliver Queen aka Green Arrow (Stephen Amell) has been joined by a whole host of heroes across the network's four - soon to be five - DC Comics series. They'll unite once again this year for The CW's annual Arrowverse crossover, titled 'Crisis on Earth-X' , which will air in late Novem

There's no denying that eSports will continue to rapidly grow for the foreseeable future. Playerunknown's Battlegrounds ' eSports community is only just getting started, the huge, expensive Overwatch League doesn't start until next year, League of Legends is franchising its North American league next year, and it feels like a AAA game isn't launched these days without some consideration for eSpo

Keep in mind that the ordering here isn't necessarily the focus. Certain games complete their circuits at different points in the year, so games like League of Legends and Overwatch haven't completed their largest tournaments yet. Or take for instance Madden NFL 17 , sitting at $904,000, which won't climb much higher since Madden NFL 18 is now availab

Crossing over $1,000,000 in total prize pool is an impressive accomplishment, but the amount of games is worth noting as well. In 2016 ten games eclipsed the $1 M total, six did it in 2013, and the first broke onto the scene in 2005 ( Counter-Strik

Announced back at E3 2016 from the long dormant Sony Bend Studio, fans have been able to see multiple substantial demos from the open-world apocalypse game despite the title having no release period yet to be attached to it. Days Gone skipped last year’s PSX event, and with no confirmed panels or playable demos, a similar fate could likely befall Sony’s less anticipated zombie title. At best, fans could expect a trailer that perhaps dives further into the story and characters that Sony Bend has kept mum on thus far.

One of the interesting aspects of an open-world game is the size of its map. If you have played inFamous: Second Son , which is Sucker Punch's latest full-fledged open world game (alongside its spin-off First Light ), the map may have felt large because it was a quite dense urban environment, but it really wasn't one of the biggest open worlds out there. As a matter of fact, it wasn't even cl

These details come from eSports Earnings, which tracks tournament and league prize pools along with player earnings. While there's no guarantee that the numbers are wholly accurate or all-encompassing, they are without a doubt representative. Here's the list of games that have crossed the impressive $1,000,000 threshold in 2017 (so f

Of note, despite not being particularly close to the first spot on either platform, Blizzard's Overwatch is making steady progress on both console and PC, making the top 10 list for both and finishing ahead of DOTA 2 on PC. Overwatch 's community has been praised very highly over the course of its brief existence, and its dedicated playerbase makes it a looming threat that could usurp other games on similar lists in the near fut

That said, as exciting as the increased amount of money in eSports is, it would be naive to claim that the overall competitive video game environment is healthy for most players. It's absolutely getting better, but it's not there yet. For example, the average earnings per player are less than $7,000 a year, and the median earnings per player are $440

Sucker Punch was also featured on last year’s PSX speculation article, and then proceeded to remain outside of the spotlight until October, with an in-engine trailer and brief gameplay tease that stole the show during Paris Games Week. Ghost of Tsushima is also guaranteed to have a presence on Friday night and during Saturday’s panels, and considering Sucker Punch’s release schedule for their past few titles, fans could end up seeing quite a bit of this ancient Japanese title.

eSports in 2017 is larger than ever and there's no better evidence of that than the amount of prize money tournaments are offering. In 2017 alone, more than $73 million dollars have been won by players across more than 70 different games, with four months left in the year. At the top reigns Dota 2 after its massive $25 million pool for The International 2017 , but it's not the only [[https://Strategynewsbase.com strategy game Walkthrough|https://strategynewsbase.Com/]] funding a stable and sustainable environment for players. 12 different games have now crossed the $1,000,000 prize pool mark, with more quickly approach

As for Timetravel6000v2's DCTV poster, it's not indicative of this year's Arrowverse crossover and is, of course, simply some fun and striking art featuring some of The CW's most beloved superheroes. Still, it will no doubt get fans excited for not only this year's crossover, 'Crisis on Earth-X', but potential future crossovers - which could include Black Lightning depending on how successful the hero's series turns out to be and whether the showrunners agree to lend Jefferson Pierce to next year's Arrowverse team
