It appears that ARMA 4 will be officially announced in the coming days, more than eight years after ARMA 3 was released as one of the most realistic open-world military tactical shooters in history. Taking to Twitter earlier today, publisher-and-developer Bohemia Interactive announced a special livestream for next week that will discuss the future of the ARMA franchise. While no hints were given, Bohemia Interactive is strongly expected to reveal ARMA 4 as a next-generation successor and not just another content add-on for the existing, long-running installment. 🚨 Make sure to mark this date on your calendar! May 17, 12:00 CDT | 19:00 CEST. 🚨See you at https://t.co/ha82TnEKaS. https://t.co/soQWlo6v8Z — Bohemia Interactive (@bohemiainteract) May 12, 2022 The expectation of a new ARMA 4 announcement stems from several reasons. Firstly, Bohemia Interactive is known to be working on an unannounced project. Secondly, the publisher revealed its new Enfusion engine last December which was described as a “powerful toolset” to support “any potential new ARMA game” in the future. Thirdly, Bohemia Interactive CEO Marek Spanel potentially teased ARMA 4 a couple of days back by tweeting “Everon 4 Ever!” which was taken as a play on words for the new installment. Everon…

Just as cooking shows draw large and dedicated audiences on network television, cooking streams are an incredibly popular category on Twitch. Unlike more professional productions, however, the people cooking on the streaming platform are not necessarily experts with the requisite training and equipment. This is when potentially dangerous situations can arise, all in front of a Twitch audience who can’t do much to help. In the past, there have been some onscreen catastrophes captured on Twitch. These have for the most part involved burglaries, swatting incidents, and even earthquakes, tornadoes, and other natural disasters. Sometimes the incidents are not too severe and can be joked about afterwards, such as when Twitch streamer Woofy caught her hair on fire, presumably due to the presence of hairspray and a nearby burning candle. Other situations with fire are not always so easily dismissed. On Wednesday, Twitch content creator Kjanecaron was holding a subathon and decided to stream herself cooking. Things soon began to go off the rails, as her kitchen filled with smoke and the atmosphere generally felt a bit chaotic. Soon, however, things got even worse as the fire alarm began sounding and the grease in Kjanecaron's frying pan burst into flames.…

Multi-Grammy award winning superstar Sheryl Crow stopped by Rolling Stone’s Twitch channel this past week to talk about her new documentary Sheryl and three new songs on it’s accompanying soundtrack. Sheryl has been in the works for a while, but Sheryl herself indicated in this interview that she was very hesitant to even tell her story until other musicians pushed her. “I had some encouragement from younger artists. I mean Brandi Carlile… she was one of the people who said you have to do this.” Crow went on to describe how she created connections with young artists in her career, much like the connections she made with Stevie Nicks, Carole King who inspired her to leave her hometown and start her journey. Crow made it very clear that Sheryl talks about the good times, but does not hold back on the lesser known dark times. Previewing some of the hardships of her career, Crow brought up some deep cuts that really set the scene for what she went through. She noted her song “Weather Channel” as one of those deep cuts, saying “I joke around about how it’s just this really sweet song about suicidal tendencies… but everybody has low…

Kyrie Irving and the Brooklyn Nets are no longer in postseason contention, which has granted the mercurial point guard some extra free time. The Nets star recently decided to use some of that time to play some video games and also stream his session live to fans on Twitch. It did not turn out as harmless as it sounds. A handful of Celtics fans decided to clown him in the comments, which the Nets star was not going to take sitting down. Instead, Kyrie Irving called them out and even impersonated them with an impish expression.

The Nets star doesn’t have any plans on doing it for free. He asked for a cool $5…

Starting on Wednesday, YouTube will be allowing fans and creators of their platform to gift each other with paid channel subscriptions. Popular streamers announced the feature's availability on Twitter today, who were excited about the new monetization tool.  (Photo : AFP via Getty Images) This picture taken in Moscow on March 19, 2022 shows logos of Youtube social media on a smartphone screen. Gifted subscriptions are a popular feature on Twitch, which happens to be Youtube Gaming's main competition. Streamers benefit from the subs to monetize their content and build their own community. This has been long requested by Youtubers, and now it has been finally granted to them. Youtube Japan was the first one to test out this feature earlier this year for a select number of channels.  However, in the US and UK, gifted memberships are still in beta and will be available to all Youtube Gaming users in the coming months.

Hearthstone introduces three highly-requested quality-of-life features alongside Battlegrounds and Mercenary changes in its upcoming patch. Hearthstone recently announced Patch 23.2, full of bug fixes and new content for Battlegrounds and Mercenaries. Hearthstone also introduced three new quality-of-life features coming to the game when the patch goes live on May 10th. For Hearthstone players who pride themselves on collecting Golden cards, the highly-anticipated Upgrade feature is finally coming to Hearthstone. This feature is not just convenient–the full Arcane Dust cost of the base card is applied to the cost of the Golden Upgrade, rather than the Disenchant value, meaning Upgrading a card costs less dust than crafting the Golden copy from scratch. Players can also share Hearthstone deck codes through the in-game chat system, allowing players to easily share decks with one another. This allows players to show off their latest wacky deck with a friend, or swap strategies for ladder climbing and rank grinding, without having to rely on outside chat programs. Lastly, players can now Favorite multiple card backs. This allows players to add several card backs to their Favorites list and have one pulled randomly each time a default card back is used by the game. These are…

Today, Ubisoft announced that new content for Tom Clancy’s The Division 2 will release on May 12th, 2022. Season 9: Hidden Alliance along with a new PvE mode, Countdown, will highlight the upcoming Title Update 15. Season 9: Hidden Alliance is available to all The Division 2 Warlords of New York owners. A New Enemy Emerges in Season 9: The latest season continues The Division narrative and brings agents back to the aftermath of their takedown of a former Division commander-turned-traitor. A new target, Captain Lewis, is out there and the Division must gather intel and face four high-ranking True Sons before they can face him. Season 9 is one of three seasons scheduled to run throughout the year. New Eight-Player Co-op Mode: Countdown is a new and intense co-op mode where up to eight Division agents are sent to a power plant and have 15 minutes to stabilize the plant and prevent a lockdown. The agents, deployed in two teams of four, will start at different locations on the map and must work together to overcome the challenge. The Division will be confronted by some familiar foes and will have to fend them off to secure the plant, then…

Screenshot: Complex GamesComplex Games, the developers of the new Warhammer 40,000: Chaos Gate – Daemonhunters, have issued a statement apologising to players after running a campaign where certain in-game items were only available to those who sat through some Twitch streams.Via PC Gamer, while Complex probably thought they were running a fairly standard (by 2022 standards anyway) release window promotional stuff, the nature of the items and the fanbase/platform in question weren’t having it. Here’s an example of a negative review left on the game’s Steam page as a result, one of many that presumably prompted the statement:The game would have gotten a thumbs up but for one thing. The developers for some ridiculous reason decided to put 11 ingame items(not skins or cosmetics but actual weapons and armor) behind twitch drops on the day of release. In order to get these items you not only have to create and link a Frontier account and a Twitch account but you have to watch hours and hours of inane twitch streamers prattling on instead of actually playing the game you paid for. They also are timed so if you miss them you miss them forever.If there was another way to earn…
