Diablo 4 fans think Blizzard is learning the wrong lessons from WoW and Overwatch

Today, after a long list of eight delays (called time extensions), the New Zealand Commerce Commission has officially cleared Microsoft's acquisition of Activision Blizzard.

Insomniac's first two Spider-Man titles were chock full of suits, but two games aren't enough to unpack Spider-Man's extensive 60-year history, so there is plenty left for Insomniac to use. That's what fans have been discussing on the subreddit.

Starfield is going to be big. Bigger than anything we've seen from Bethesda. While in the past, we've explored singular continents or real-life regions in The Elder Scrolls and Fallout, its newest RPG will take us across the stars to 1,000 planets across 100 star systems.

One of the most common criticisms of The Witcher on Netflix is that it strays too far from Andrzej Sapkowski's novels. It may have been a source of some tension behind the scenes, too: Former series star Henry Cavill made a point of saying he «pushed really, really hard» to stay true to the books, while also claiming that some of the writers on the show «actively disliked» them. There's no question that some aspects of the novel have been simplified for the TV show, and in an interview with Polish site Wyborcza (translated by Witcher fan site Redanian Intelligence), executive producer Tomek Baginski explained why some of those changes were made: "[A] higher level of nuance and complexity will have a smaller range."

TheSuicide Squad: Kill the Justice League release date was recently pushed back pretty significantly. It'll now release next year, and it's unclear as to whether there will be big changes to the gameplay shown off previously.

Starfield fans are eagerly awaiting this game to launch into the marketplace. This new RPG from the talented folks by Bethesda has been going through a bit of a marketing spree as we’re nearing its release date. But some of the content we’ve seen to help hype this game up actually came from fans. For instance, one group of fans had taken it upon themselves to chart out a map for the game, which gives players a look into some of the planets and stars you can expect to find when the RPG does launch.

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is now in development for PS4 and Xbox One - that's right, two consoles that were first released around 10 years ago. 

EA has said the next Battlefield game will be a "reimagination" of the series, but fans aren't convinced it's a good thing. 

Just as Blizzard is facing backlash following the release of Diablo 4 Season 1, developer Grinding Gear Games has revealed new gameplay and the closed beta date for its upcoming action-RPG Path of Exile 2. But despite the frosty reception to the new season, it seems Diablo 4 fans haven't been won over by the Path of Exile sequel just yet. 

In the wake of the Activision Blizzard FTC trial questions, games like World of Warcraft and Diablo coming to Xbox’s PC Game Pass library remains a hot topic. Will we finally see PC-exclusive WoW on console after all these years? There are a lot of questions and not a whole lot of answers yet – but a report from the European Commission’s official case documentation implies that we may see the MMORPG locked behind the Game Pass Ultimate subscription.
