Hero’s Hour and Leaf Blower Revolution free on GX.games in November as part of new GX.games Monthly Drop initiative
During November, GX.games – the platform where creators and developers meet the 18 million strong audience of the gaming browser– will be adding two new games for users to download and play for free.
“Once again, GX.games is adding two awesome indie games to the platform next month for users to download and play for free. Both Hero’s Hour and Leaf Blower Revolution have been hugely popular on other games platforms, which is why we’re excited to bring them to Opera GX for free during November. We are also super excited to launch the new Monthly Drop initiative,” said Mattijs de Valk, VP Content Acquisition at Opera.
This month’s first free game is Leaf Blower Revolution, an idle game developed by Humble North which received an Overwhelmingly Positive reaction on Steam and is available to download and play from today. With the leaves starting to fall and build up in your yard, it is down to you to grab your nuclear-powered leaf blowers and clear the leaves away – unlocking upgrades, earning achievements, and more.
The second free game coming to GX.games is Hero’s Hour, a popular combat-based strategy RPG boasting over 100 hours of gameplay. In Hero’s Hour, you take control of a hero on a quest to explore their world, build up their town, fight fast-paced battles, and amass an army capable of conquering any challenge.
Created by Danish developer Benjamin Hauer, Hero’s Hour is the first game available through GX.games that will not only be free to download and play, but users who download the game during the 17th-24th November will be able to keep the game forever.
To ensure you get Hero’s hour for free, go to GX.games, click on the game, create an account, and press “claim it.”
The new games are part of the new “Monthly Drop” by GX.games, an initiative that offers new indie games for free to the Opera GX audience each month. These games are free when accessed via both Opera and Opera GX.
But the fun doesn’t stop there! Gamers hungry for additional high-quality free indie games can also still play many more free games on GX.games, like Last Horizon, Windmills, Textorcist, and Chronicon (only till 22/11).
Hero’s Hour will be available to be claimed for free between Nov 17 and Nov 24, 2022.

Eagerly anticipated release now confirmed following a highly successful exclusivity period with Rush Street Interactive
Play’n GO has today announced the official US release of its hit title Colt Lightning Firestorm, following a three-week period of exclusivity with Rush Street Interactive brands BetRivers and SugarHouse.
Colt Lightning Firestorm was released in Europe and other jurisdictions in May 2024, and its release in the US comes with much fanfare following the game’s rave reviews in its short exclusivity period. The game is a sequel to the wildly popular Colt Lightning game which was released early last year, and indications at this stage suggest that this sequel may prove even more successful.
This announcement sees Colt Lightning Firestorm available to players in each state and operator with whom Play’n GO is licensed. Play’n GO first entered the online casino market in the US in 2022, and has reiterated its commitment to becoming active in every regulated market around the world.
Magnus Olsson, Chief Commercial Officer at Play’n GO said: “We’re excited to unveil Colt Lightning Firestorm to the wider online casino gaming community in the US, and have been very pleased to see its strong performance during its exclusivity period with Rush Street Interactive. We had high hopes for the game following the success of its predecessor, and we’re confident that these robust results will continue now that the game is available to an even bigger audience.”
Esports entertainment company BLAST has announced plans to host two popular esports events in Singapore in 2024 and 2025.
BLAST will bring both world-class Counter-Strike and Dota 2 tournaments to the heart of Southeast Asia, marking a major step in Singapore’s emergence as an esports and gaming hub. Supported by the Singapore Tourism Board (STB), these high-profile events will bring the world’s best esports teams and players from all across the world to compete in Singapore.
BLAST has teamed up with AEG Presents Asia, one of the world’s largest live entertainment entities to bring these events to Singapore. The partnership forms part of BLAST’s ambition to create the best esports experiences by working closely with premier destinations and the biggest and best live entertainment partners.
More than half of global esports views (57%) are estimated to come from the Asia Pacific region, 47% more than any other region in the world with the global market valued at $1.6 billion.
By bringing the top-tier Counter-Strike and Dota 2 tournaments to Singapore, BLAST aims
to attract global esports talent, foster local growth, and elevate Singapore’s status as a destination for world-class esports entertainment.
James Woollard, Director of Market Development at BLAST, said: “We are incredibly excited to bring two of the biggest esports titles to this vibrant destination. Over the coming 18 months, Singapore will become a major hub for esports in Southeast Asia, and with the support of the Singapore Tourism Board, we look forward to delivering unforgettable experiences for fans while helping to build a thriving esports ecosystem in the region. Bringing the first BLAST arena event to Singapore is an exciting first step in this journey. The World Final will see the world’s best Counter-Strike players and teams fighting for a $1,000,000 total prize pool.”
Ms Ong Ling Lee, Executive Director, Sports and Wellness, Singapore Tourism Board, said, “We are excited to host the BLAST Premier World Final and the BLAST Dota Slam in Singapore. The Counter-Strike event marks the first BLAST-branded event in Southeast Asia and the inaugural Counter-Strike tournament series in the region, solidifying Singapore’s position as a world-class esports destination. We are confident that the international participants and their legions of fans will have a memorable experience in Singapore, immersing themselves in the diverse and dynamic offerings of our city.”
The World Final 2024 will take place from 30th October – 3rd November and will be the first BLAST event to take place in Singapore, followed by the BLAST Dota Slam in 2025. The World Final will be the biggest Counter-Strike event to take place in Singapore, where the world’s best eight Counter-Strike teams will compete for a massive prize pool of $1,000,000 and the chance to claim bragging rights as the best team around.
