Chaos
Chaos is a 3D RPG web game developed by Joybit where players are able to do their part in defending the empire from all sorts of foes. Dragons, monsters, and humanoids are all potential adversaries that the player will need to engage. Chaos’ world is influenced by western myth, a world in which the Admodian and Protoss factions go to war when the God of the land vanishes. Players are given the opportunity to become one of two classes in Chaos: the Swordsman or Paladin. The Swordsman specializes in offensive skills whereas the Paladin specializes in defensive and supportive skills, but both of these classes have been born with both Admodian and Protoss genes within them, putting them in the position of needing to defend the empire rather than participate in a faction war.
Features:
Daily Events: Some of Chaos’ end-game content is offered through daily PvE events. Different PvE events, like Elite instances, will become active at different points throughout the day. Elite instances specifically allow players to battle very tough bosses for schematics which can be used to forge powerful equipment.
Companion System: Chaos includes a companion system in which players are able to recruit Hero characters from a variety of gods and champions to help them fight in battle.
PvP: Chaos is not limited to only PvE. Players have the option of participating in 1v1 duels which can be fought in the Arena and Guild wars can be waged which offer team battles.
Battle Power System: Every character in Chaos has a Battle Power value. This value is calculated in order to determine how strong a character actually is. Battle Power can be boosted by leveling the character up, leveling up companion heroes, and equipping better gear.
Hero Sky: New Guild Wars, New Heroes and More
Indie developer Innospark has launched a massive new update to the popular combat strategy game Hero Sky: Epic Guild Wars, which pits players with armies of mighty soldiers and legendary Hero units against hordes of underworld denizens – and against the forces of other players. The new update, which is live in game today, adds four new playable Hero characters, a new playable training mode, a new strategic trap building, and most importantly, the game’s massively social Guild Wars mode.
Guild Wars enhances the social functionality of guilds in Hero Sky. Members of these player-run associations can donate resources and troops together to a communal pool to strengthen the guild’s overall presence in the game. Guilds can also compete in regular weekly competitions to earn the highest scores and dominate the leaderboards.

- Thursdays 1 a.m. PST – Registration opens for 24 hours to let Guilds build their ranks
- Fridays 1 a.m. PST – Guild Wars preparation begins for 24 hours to let Guilds donate
- resources and troops to the Guild, as well as to upgrade guild forts and let Guardians upgrade defenses and update village layouts. Preparation also lets Guild members spy on enemy villages to prepare for battle
- Saturdays 1 a.m. PST through Mondays 1 a.m. PST– Guild Wars Battles begin – Guild members each receive daily battle tickets to conquer enemy villages, after which the Guild map is reset and new invasions can begin – Guild members may continue to fight their battles even if fellow members lose their own engagements. Successful invasions earn Guilds points which increase’s a Guild’s ranking
The new update also adds plenty of new content to help players further refine their strategies and fortify their forces, including:
- New Heroes – Four new legendary Heroes join the game’s 100+-character roster; two Heroes inspired by Eastern mythology, Lingling and the Monkey Emperor; and two inspired by Western mythology, the Souls Collector and Succubus
- Temptation Campfire” defense – The update also adds a new defensive trap to lure invading forces to their doom
- Localized leaderboards and new language support – The game now has localized leaderboards for players to track their standing against not just the entire game population, but also against players from their home country, as well as language support for Swedish, Vietnamese and Polish players
- Defense Practice mode – This valuable new training mode lets players test out their strategies, base defenses, and Hero/army combinations before entering battle

World of Tanks Presents Tankfest
Wargaming is proud to announce they will be sponsoring Tankfest, one of the world’s best displays of historic armored vehicles, for the fifth consecutive time. Held every June 27–28 at The Tank Museum at Bovington, Tankfest will see over 15,000 people from across the country and the globe flock to the Museum. With guest vehicles and old favorites returning to the arena, this Tankfest is set to be the best yet.
Museum Director, Richard Smith, said: “Wargaming has always been very supportive of The Tank Museum, contributing to restoration projects, building our Education Centre and assisting with new exhibitions. Their support of Tankfest is the latest example of their ongoing commitment to champion our collection and our efforts to engage as many people as possible in the subject of armored warfare.”
At this year’s event, there will be three Sherman tanks from the Hollywood blockbuster ‘Fury’ film. These iconic vehicles will be reunited with The Tank Museum’s fearsome Tiger 131, the only running Tiger 1 in the world, for the Grand Finale Battle. The Battle will be a tribute to the last days of World War II and include a salute to the Veterans. Vehicles like the 38T, Comet, Panzer III, Rolls Royce Armored car and some of the latest equipment from the British Army will also take to the arena at Tankfest.
Wargaming’s MGT-20, a specialized mobile gaming truck, will be rolling into The Tank Museum. Attendees will be able to play a few rounds of World of Tanks in the truck, or check out the Wargaming sponsored Education Centre inside the Museum to learn about the history of some iconic vehicles.
There will also be an extensive Living History encampment on-site, where visitors can step back in time and immerse themselves in the era. One of the day’s many highlights will include an original World War II Spitfire and Douglas C-47 Dakota aircraft taking to the skies at Tankfest.
“Wargaming has always been an enthusiastic fan of Tankfest,” said Rinaldo Andreolli, General Manager Europe. “We are excited to take our support to the next level. After participating in Tankfest for the last four years, we are now sponsoring this unique event so even more vehicles and entertainment are available to visitors. For everyone at Wargaming, it’s great to be able to give something back to the community and educate people about the past.”
