Originally published at: [CONSOLE: New Kingdom – Blackhawk – Gems of War](http://gemsofwar.com/console-new-kingdom-blackhawk/) Prepare to be boarded! **New Kingdom: Blackhawk** Talk-like-a-pirate-day may have passed, but that’s no reason not to give a hearty “YARRRRR!” for the arrival of Blackhawk. Ever wondered what happened to Tyri’s father in Zhul’Kari? Or how Tyri and Marid could EVER be related? These questions and more will be answered as you search for treasure on the high seas!

News: Console: New Kingdom: Blackhawk: Coming Soon: Maybe. Yay my kids will be happy, they keep asking when it’s coming on their PS4 version. Today’s kiddie PS4 GoW account trivia: our defence team of DragonSoul and other friendly dragons has a win rate of about 75%… Fun evidence that DragonSoul is seriously overpowered for lower levels - we are only level 100ish, but got a lucky DragonSoul drop early in event keys from our (mostly German and not really very active) Guild… ---
