Action-RPG Last Epoch launches to rave reviews, over 162,000 concurrent Steam players, and glowing comparisons to Diablo

Granblue Fantasy Relink, a surprise hit that's managed to stand out in a year positively stuffed with JRPGs, is barely a month old but already rolling out an exciting roadmap of free content that starts with a new boss coming this Thursday, March 14.

Now, let's chat how you can actually watch the show.

Announced for PS5 at The Game Awards last year, No Rest for the Wicked has returned with a lengthy gameplay showcase. Narrated by developer Moon Studios — the Austria-based team behind the Ori games — the footage shows huge promise. It's an isometric, dark fantasy RPG where you make your own character, experiment with various weapon-based fighting styles, and engage in bloody battle.

Moon Studios – the developer behind beloved Metroidvania games Ori and the Blind Forest and Will of the Wisps – is gearing up to launch its next game, action-RPG No Rest for the Wicked, into early access. Ahead of that, its director has clarified that there'll be no microtransactions included in the upcoming title at all, and definitely no expensive skins to buy for horses.

Last Epoch's developer has disabled family sharing in an effort to combat real-money trading and botting in the popular action RPG.

Unreal Engine-powered first-person action-RPG VOIN is being created by one solo developer named Nikita Sozidar. It's a fast-paced, retro-themed dark fantasy melee combat game that might remind you a bit of Raven Software's classic Hexen (albeit with much faster movement). It's in development for PC, with a public playtest beginning on March 8. Check it out on Steam if you're interested.

The Last of Us director and Naughty Dog president Neil Druckmann has described the studio's next project as "really ambitious" and is under no illusion that bringing it to life will be easy.

It is written that whenever Blizzard releases a Diablo game, players will get annoyed with it — it’s too dark, or not dark enough, or too grindy, or not grindy enough, or the loot is no good, or it doesn’t work, or its business model is suspect. It’s also written that a challenger shall arise, a game from a scrappy independent developer that looks like Diablo and plays like Diablo, but is pure of heart and shall deliver to all those frustrated Diablo players exactly what they wanted but Blizzard refused to give them.

The concurrent player count for the Steam version of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League has dropped so much since launch that it’s now frequently lower than that of Gotham Knights.

The two million-selling Tekken 8 has opened its premium in-game shop, sparking a vociferous debate within the fighting game’s community.

A Palworld player finds themselves in an unusual predicament in their in-game world, being wanted for over 1000 charges of assault within the game. The breakout hit game from developer Pocket Pair gives players a variety of ways to interact with its expansive world through both Pals and NPCs. Aside from capturing new Pals, players are given the ability to build up their in-game Palworld base, challenge the game's bosses, and explore dungeons scattered throughout the world. However, players need to be particularly careful when dealing with the game's human NPCs.

A Diablo 4 player obtained a bow that had a one in 175,616 chance of dropping, and declared that it's "still crap."
