Oops! Blizzard accidentally nerfs every Diablo 4 player on the same day its brutally hard new dungeon releases

Remnant 2's first DLC dropped a short while ago—and it's a pretty good romp. It adds a whole new area to explore, a new class, and some new gear to grab—it also enhances Losomn as a whole, since having the DLC lets its areas and bosses crop up during your randomised runs of the main campaign.

World of Warcraft revealed its roadmaps for both retail and Classic yesterday, and while there's plenty of exciting news—including a confirmed Summer release window for The War Within—one particular stop on the road hit me like a cannon full of grapeshot. A black flag with a skull and crossbones.

When Overwatch 2 launched back in 2022, the franchise switched to a free-to-play model, and as you might expect, there have been some complaints about how Blizzard has chosen to monetize the game. One sticking point has been the fact that in order to access new Heroes, you either have to buy the premium version of the most recent seasonal battle pass (which costs $10) or complete a number of hero challenges, which takes time. This kind of setup isn’t unheard of in a live-service game, but in a game like Overwatch where character balance is such a major focus, locking some folks who don’t want to pay out of using a new character for a certain amount of time has been a bone of contention.

We've all had frustrating experiences in multiplayer games. Heck, it's not that unusual for the worst of them to upset you in real life for a brief spell, and perhaps inspire some intemperate messages or uncivil voice chat. But for one Diablo 2 player, KrimzontheRed, the insult dealt by a bunch of gankers in the game's hardcore mode was simply too much. They wanted revenge and, even in hell, that is a dish best served cold.

Last month Path of Exile 2 was selected as the #9 Most Wanted game in PC Gaming Show: Most Wanted. The sequel to the long-running ARPG Path of Exile is coming soon, and with work on Path of Exile 2 now well underway, we flew to New Zealand to talk to developers at Grinding Gear Games about how they're approaching a game that needs to be firmly rooted in the original while offering both new players and veterans something fresh and different.

The holidays are here and people -perhaps you- are finally able to buy consoles without jumping through huge hoops. But now the question arises: what games are you going to gift?

Time for a slay ride.

It’s common for CCP Games’ massively multiplayer online spacefaring sim Eve Online to make headlines based on the mind-blowing strategies employed by its devoted community, but would AI be able to keep up with the deeply human wars of subterfuge and espionage that often result in the game’s most compelling moments? One group of players is hoping to find the answer.

Well now, that was quite the episode of Doctor Who. Clearly wanting to end the 60th anniversary specials with a bang, the latest episode from returning showrunner Russell T Davies, titled The Giggle, saw David Tennant's Doctor and Catherine Tate's Donna Noble take on the Toymaker, played by Neil Patrick Harris. 

Blizzard has relaxed Diablo 4’s excessively grindy new endgame challenge called Abattoir of Zir.

Dead by Daylight's ghastly universe is slowly spinning open with the brand-new interactive horror game The Casting of Frank Stone, developers Behaviour Interactive and Until Dawn creators Supermassive Games revealed in a trailer at The Game Awards 2023.

Hideo Kojima took the stage at The Game Awards tonight—no surprise there—but didn't show up with a Death Stranding 2 trailer like we might've expected. Instead, Kojima was joined by actor and director Jordan Peele to announce horror game OD.
