Hardcore Changes to Death Avoidance Coming in Season 4

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 may be announced as soon as next week.

Pac-Man is getting a brand new game that many people might not have saw coming, one that will allow players to take part in multiplayer. This brand new trailer showcases a new Pac-Man that will allow players to join a battle royale style of the classic game. Players will be able to dive into this new game in just a few weeks as the release date is in May.

Warhorse Studios' new game will be revealed next week on April 18th, the Kingdom Come Deliverance developer has announced.

NOTE: There are spoilers ahead for Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, and potentially for as-yet-unreleased post-launch content.

One of the Diablo 4 devs has revealed that rewards for Tormented Bosses will be tweaked before the release of Season 4. Diablo 4 is in Season 3, which has introduced players to the new villain Malphas, new quests, enemies, and the long-awaited debut of the Gauntlet and Leaderboards. But Diablo 4 players' attention is currently focused on the upcoming season and all the hype surrounding it.

In the previous hotfix that Blizzard pushed to Season of Discovery, the new values of health reduction have been calculated. You can see the health reduction below to some boss encounters inside Sunken Temple.

Foamstars! Remember that? Well, it's still going, and Square Enix is gearing up for the game's third seasonal update. Titled Mysterious Swing, the new season debuts on 12th April, and you can see some of the new additions in the above trailer.

One of the best parts of Classic Hardcore was absolutely the hilarious death clips that popped up. Entire channels were able to skyrocket themselves with death compilations alone. One of the most iconic of these was Guzu's hole in one in Sunken Temple at level 52. A perfect storm permanently killing his character by threading the needle into the infamous pit of death. It looks like the Season of Discovery team were watching the same clips we were, and a new NPC, the Unfortunate Adventurer has shown up in our datamining. Looks fairly familiar, doesn't he? While we don't know for sure where this NPC will pop up, I'd say it's a fairly safe bet to assume you can find him in the Sunken Temple raid.

Update 0.1.3 brings multiple bug fixes to Nightingale, but the biggest change is dying will no longer create a death chest. The mechanic has been utilized throughout a number of survival games, but the player community found it tedious, and sometimes impossible, to collect the dropped items after reviving. Looking to set Nightingale apart from others in the genre, a new mechanic has taken the place of death chests.

Targeting a PS5 release at some point this year, MechWarrior 5: Clans has a clear goal in mind: to expand its audience beyond the hardcore fans of this long-running series. Indeed, MechWarrior has always been a fairly demanding franchise — which has largely stuck to PC — but Clans is built to be the most accessible entry to date (and the best-looking entry, thanks to Unreal Engine 5).

We've been hard at work datamining all the new changes for Diablo 4's first-ever PTR! Take a look at the raw data we've gathered below.Editor's Note: This datamined information comes directly from the Diablo 4 PTR client. While some of it may differ to what was described in patch notes, this is the current information live in the Diablo 4 Patch 1.4.0 PTR. These changes may have already entered the game due to the nature of Blizzard's release process — while the items aren't necessarily new to this specific patch release, they are new to the latest comparison of patch changes. Here are the datamined changes for build 1.4.0.51885, compared to 1.3.5.51869.

We've datamined updated 3-piece set bonuses from Sunken Temple item sets, now providing interesting class-specific effects. Prior to today's build, they were quite generic with bonuses giving passive stat gains. A new level-up raid coming in Phase 3 Season of Discovery, Sunken Temple will be on a weekly lockout and contains hundreds of new pieces of loot from eight new bosses. In addition to the item sets with changes detailed below, you can preview more of the datamined loot in our Sunken Temple Guide: Sunken Temple Raid Loot Today's datamining had even more notable item updates, including reputation levels, dungeon reitemization, and P3 item tuning: More Item TuningReitemized Dungeon LootReputation Levels for Emerald Wardens Rewards
