Lords of the Fallen is this week's Souls-like, hot off the grimdark presses, and we enjoyed our time with the game, awarding it 7/10 in our review. If you've been anticipating this one, you'll be glad to know that it launches fairly imminently, depending on what part of the world you call home, and preload is now live on PS5.
Overwatch 2's Tempting Diablo 4 Skins Trapped Behind Pricey $40 Ultimate Battle Pass Bundle | Push Square
14.10.2023 - 09:45 / pushsquare.com
Blizzard has once again earned the ire of its long-suffering Overwatch 2 player base, packaging a couple of eagerly-awaited Diablo 4 skins inside the game's pricey Ultimate Battle Pass Bundle for Season 7, which is now live on PS5 and PS4.
The particular skins in question depict Moira as the demonic Lilith, Daughter of Hatred, and Pharah as the fallen archangel Inarius, central characters in Diablo lore. They look pretty good, too, which is part of the problem. Blizzard leaned on the skins in marketing material for Season 7, and fans were quite surprised to learn that the only way to unlock them was to shell out for the premium Ultimate Battle Pass Bundle, which will run you USD $40, or £32.48.
Previously, skins such as these could be earned in-game or at least through Battle Pass progression. Over on the Overwatch 2 subreddit, a diplomatic post quickly went viral, with many sharing strong, nuanced views on the current state of the game and this latest pricing news:
The Ultimate Battle Pass Bundle comes packaged with a total of nine items, which you can peruse below.

Are you surprised by this development? Are you willing to pony up a premium in order to dish out some destruction in style? Let us know in the comments section below.

Pay 10 bucks more and you can buy AC Mirage which is a real game instead of this nonsense. The gall of ABK.
@Powerplay94 Totally agreed I'm not touching anything from ABK. COD was already dead, Overwatch the same and I didn't even get Diablo I think I did the right thing.
«Go f$% yourself Blizzard»
I wholeheartedly agree.
Yeah this is basically ABK pushing their Black Cell practice from MW2 to Overwatch 2 but in a more lighter version. Next up will be Diablo 4, we just need to wait.
As usual this is all Microsoft's fault.
@Enuo Lol it will be more interesting to see if MS plans to right this ship or not. They've given Bethesda it's own freedom and the results have been mixed. Whether they take a more active role in ABK will be interesting to see.
This is disgusting. Warzone's battle pass is £8.99 but once purchased gives you plenty of chance to earn enough cod points to unlock the next pass if you can grind it out. Diablo 4 is £8.99 too but with no chance of earning enough platinum because..well there is not enough on offer presently. So warzone may only require one
