For Honor: Every Black Prior Execution and Emote
The first season For Honor's third year, Year of the Harbinger, is coming soon to season pass holders on January 31 and bringing with it a new hero – the Black Prior – while everyone else will get their hands on the new hero when it hits consoles and PC on on February 7.
In addition to the hero updates for the Shugoki, Warlord, and Peacekeeper, year 3 season 1 will bring with it a new Dominion map, Harbor, which will be accessible to all players on January 31 for free. Harbor is a port town on the shores of Lake Eitrivatnen, a strategic location that the new Black Priors once held alongside the Knights against all enemies.
You can check out more on the Black Prior and follow the official Ubisoft Warrior’s Den livestream starting right now.
Kingdom Hearts 3 Leak May Mean an End for Square Enix’s Worldwide Retail Releases
Kingdom Hearts series director, Tetsuya Nomura, says that he is "reconsidering" simultaneous worldwide releases for his games.
Last month, four copies of Kingdom Hearts 3 were sold ahead of the game's release, and despite the damage control and efforts from the community to shut down any leaks before they became widespread, the experience has given Tetsuya Nomura second thoughts about how to handle the launch of his games going forward.
"Because of what happened, the risks for a simultaneous worldwide release are high, for any games that I work on henceforth, currently I cannot help but reconsider a simultaneous worldwide release for at the very least the retail package version," he said in an interview with Famitsu, via Kotaku.

Batman #63 Review
Written by Tom King | Drawn by Mikel Janin
"Batman's current "Knightmares" storyline has been a disorienting read, to say the least. Initially, that was a bad thing. Issue #60 wrapped with one of the most significant cliffhangers yet in Tom King's run, yet #61 proceeded as if that twist never happened at all. But issue #62 showed a method to that madness, urging readers to question the very reality of Batman's surroundings. And now this new storyline shows its full hand in issue #63, reminding us once again that it's all part of King's plan." -Jesse
