News! Read it!

  • Vive Wireless Adapter Release Date
  • D.Va’s Shooting Star Overwatch Video
  • The Dota 2 Gabe Newell Announcer Pack

Vive’s Wireless Adapter


According to a recent post on the Vive blog, the Wireless Adapter for the HTC Vive will release publicly on September 24, with preorders opening up on September 5. The standard version costs $299, while the Pro version costs $359. As the name implies, this is Valve’s official method of eliminating cables in the virtual reality process. It’s noted that you need a free PCI-e slot to install the receiver card. I wish I could afford one.

Shooting Star


Blizzard released a new animated short, featuring modern-day D.Va. She’s the leader of a protective task force for the Korean city of Busan. I won’t go into detail about it, just watch for yourself.

Also, Busan will be a new control map in Overwatch, based in the city from the short.

Gabe Newell Dota Announcer Pack


Valve founder Gabe Newell is now a Mega Kill pack available in Dota 2. The catch? He’s only available to those subscribed to Dota +, their monthly subscription service for aiding player improvement. It was announced via this entertaining video of Newell in the recording room.


That’s all for today, folks, thanks for reading! Tune in tomorrow for more news relating to video games! Otherwise, have a great day.
