Overwolf Launches New CurseForge App Ahead of WoW Shadowlands Expansion
Overwolf, the all-in-one platform that enables creators to build, distribute, and monetize in-game apps and mods, today announced the launch of the beta version of the new CurseForge app. The app will replace the mod tab in the Twitch client and help gamers and mod authors to manage mods and addons for supported games, beginning with World of Warcraft. Overwolf announced in June its plans to acquire CurseForge from Twitch to empower mod authors to not only create better experiences for gamers, but also make a living from their passion. The new dedicated app, built on the Overwolf framework, is launching ahead of WoW Shadowlands expansion to allow gamers to download the latest addons prior to the highly anticipated release.
Designed as a dedicated app for PC and Mac, the new CurseForge app will initially offer similar functionality to the “mods” section inside the Twitch client which includes discovering, downloading, and managing mods and addons. Since the announcement of the impending acquisition of CurseForge, Overwolf has collaborated with top in-game creators and gaming communities to identify how to improve CurseForge. The community’s feedback and most requested features were then used to lay out CurseForge’s development roadmap, available here. Improvements including sidebar navigation between games and better search functionality are already introduced in the launch version, with additional features coming during the next few months.
“We’re building our roadmap by listening to community suggestions on which features the players and mod authors would like to see in the new home for CurseForge. Essentially, we are giving the community the keys to shape the future of CurseForge,” said Uri Marchand, Overwolf CEO and Co-Founder. “Overwolf is focused on empowering mod authors with tools and services to build, share and monetize their amazing gaming creations with gamers. As part of our mission to put in-game creators first, we are fully committed to paying CurseForge mod authors 50% more by 2022, compared to what they’re making today.”
“CurseForge has always been the place where players could get the most up to date version of Mythic Dungeon Tools (MDT) and countless other great addons. Overwolf has reached out to the addon community to ask for feedback and ideas for potential new features to ensure that the development of the CurseForge platform benefits everyone including addon authors, but also the players. A lot of changes have been made based on feedback and suggestions to improve the overall experience of the platform, and I am really excited to see what’s in store for CurseForge in the coming months,” said Nnoggie, creator of Mythic Dungeon Tools, a leading World of Warcraft addons with over 10,000,000 downloads.
Support for Minecraft and additional games are also scheduled to arrive on November 17, 2020. Beginning November 30, gamers will no longer be able to use the Twitch client for mod management. All exploration, updating, and downloading of mods and addons will be done through the new CurseForge app and website.

PG Soft releases wrestling-themed slot Reel Royale Showdown
PG Soft has launched Reel Royale Showdown, a wrestling-inspired video slot built for mobile play. The company says the title is set in a wrestling arena and uses a 6-reel layout.
Reel Royale Showdown includes a Wild Addition mechanic and an escalating multiplier that increases with each win. A Wild symbol substitutes for all symbols except the Scatter and appears only on reels two, three, four and five.
In the base game, three Wild slots above the reels start deactivated. Each winning round activates one Wild slot. Once all three are activated, Wild symbols are added to every empty position on reels two to five before the next round begins.
The Free Spins feature triggers when four or more Scatter symbols land anywhere on the reels, awarding 10 free spins. Each additional Scatter adds two extra spins. In Free Spins, the multiplier starts at x1 and increases by one after every winning combination, including after wins are paid and new symbols cascade into place.
PG Soft said free spins can be retriggered and the maximum win is 5,000x. A spokesperson said: “Reel Royale Showdown puts players in the front row for an epic battle, where the spoils go to the champion willing to fight to the end. The Wild Addition mechanic makes this a show-stopper,, while the escalating multipliers in Free Spins mean big rewards are always just one cascade away.”
