Steven Seagal is a Character in World of Warships Now

Steven Seagal becomes Steven Sea-guy.

By Matt Porter

Players in World of Warships will be able to earn Steven Seagal as an in-game Commander for the next month.

As long as you're at Account Level 10, you need to amass 70,000 XP in Random, Ranked, Team, or Co-op battles. Only then will the actor, producer, director, and martial artist be added to your crew.

Steven Seagal is no stranger to the high seas, of course. Back in 1992 he starred as an ex-Navy SEAL protecting the USS Missouri battleship from Tommy Lee Jones and a group of terrorists in Under Siege, followed by a sequel in 1995.

Here's an excellent excerpt from the press release describing Mr Seagal's addition: "Just think of what you could accomplish with his husky voice; his decades of battle experience; his quiet, confident aura that would echo through the decks of your ship? With Steven at your side, you could become more powerful than you ever thought possible. You could be the next great action hero."

He won't stick around for long though, as Seagal will leave your crew on December 14. However, we are promised he's "not finished with World of Warships" yet, so expect more Stevel Seagal in your life further down the line.

IGN's review of the free-to-play naval simulator says it's a "glorious pre-World War 2 admiralty fantasy come to life."

Overwatch: Sombra Art Leaks, All But Confirms New Character

¿Quién es Sombra? ¡Esto es Sombra!

By Joe Skrebels

You know how we were all wondering whether that leaked character model of Sombra was the real deal, or a very convincing fake? Yeah, you can probably shelve that argument - we were looking at our next Overwatch (anti-)hero.

Spotted on Reddit, a now-removed piece of art of the new character - who has been the subject of a months-long ARG - had been hosted on Blizzard's merchandise website. It has now been preserved on Imgur (embedded below) - and it matches last month's leak in almost every respect.

So let's dig into that art a little. It's always a little risky to draw too much from a concept piece, but we can almost certainly say that this character is the omnic-hacking individual who's been narrating the Sombra ARG, and that the talons we'd pointed out previously appear to be her interface mechanism with machines.

Going a little more off-piste, the fact that she's in the palm of one of the Svyatogor mechs seen most prominently on the game's Volskaya Industries map has led some to believe her Ultimate ability might involve calling in some titan-sized aid.

As a quick recap, Sombra appears to be a prominent hacker who, after losing everything to the Omnic Crisis and working with the Los Muertos gang, began working alongside the game's antagonistic terrorist faction, Talon.

It seems almost certain that we'll get our formal introduction to Sombra at Blizzcon later this week. Personally, I'd expect her to appear on the PC's PTR server immediately, and be released fully for all platforms shortly afterwards. For reference, it was 10 days between the hero to be added, Ana's introduction on the PTR and her appearance on console.

If this all comes to pass, Sombra will be the first addition since the game's Halloween Terror event, which came to an end last night.

Animal Crossing Nintendo Direct Coming Tomorrow

Village green adaptation society.

By Joe Skrebels

An Animal Crossing-themed Nintendo Direct will be broadcast tomorrow, November 2 at 7am PDT / 10am EDT / 2pm GMT / 1am AEDT.

The Direct will focus entirely on the upcoming update for the 3DS'  Animal Crossing: New Leaf.

We already know the gist of at least some of the announcements after Nintendo teased this Direct in September. The update will primarily add amiibo support to the games, coming alongside the release of 50 new amiibo cards on December 2.

We'll likely see more of Animal Crossing: New Leaf - Welcome amiibo edition, a new version of the four year-old game that comes pre-installed with the update, and bundled with an amiibo card.

What we don't know is which pre-existing amiibo will become compatible with New Leaf, while Nintendo has also hinted at other new, unannounced features - both are likely to be covered in the broadcast.

Don't expect much else, however - Nintendo has ruled out discussing any Nintendo Switch games until January, and no mention has been made of the company's upcoming Animal Crossing smartphone game.

You can watch the Direct live tomorrow on Nintendo's website, or Twitch.
