Mayors in RPG games are rarely given the spotlight. They're mostly just there to give you an early quest involving goat banditry or windmill rats or some such other domestic drudgery. Or, in the case of Tristram’s mayor in Diablo, to fret behind the scenes about how to properly fit considerable cathedral repairs into this month’s budget. Well, no more must this valuable civil servant hide behind balance sheets, occasionally popping out to cut a big ribbon in celebration of a nearby mausoleum being turned into a Wetherspoons. Tristam is a 72 hour Ludum Dare project where you play as said town’s mayor. And this time: It’s ceremonial!

Earlier this week, Blizzard announced what's coming up in Season 3 of Diablo 4, and underneath the mountain's worth of lore and loot updates, there was the surprisingly good news that WASD key controls were finally being added to help provide even more accurate and precise movement in the game over the series' traditional mouse clicks. Not that any of them could decide how to actually pronounce WASD when it came to talking about them on last night's Developer Update stream, though, as there were competing cries of "was-dee", "wased" and "double-you-ey-es-dee" all over the shop as they debated this clearly very "controversial topic" live on air. Read on for more details about what they're hoping to achieve with WASD controls in the game, but more importantly: how do you pronounce WASD? Let's get a poll up asap.

I do not greatly enjoy the playing of Diablo 4, but I do rather enjoy its hellish setting, which I would characterise as a Warhammer table-top diorama dunked in a bucket of frozen offal. As such, I'm tickled gall-bladder-pink to hear that Blizzard consider the action-RPG series "a wonderful platform" for different types of game, now that they've made the leap to an open world format.

Malignant Powers may be gone, but Malignant Rings are here to stay.

On the opening night of BlizzCon 2023, Blizzard announced Diablo IV Vessel of Hatred, the first big DLC expansion coming to the action RPG blockbuster in late 2024.

Two Diablo 4 developers have dropped a big hint about a previously-denied secret cow level in the game fans have been searching for.

Diablo 4's first expansion will arrive sometime late in spaceyear 2024, but it's also a throwback to Diablo 2. That's because Vessel Of Hatred is all about one of the Prime Evils, Mephisto, who auld players would have slain in that most-beloved of hack-and-slashers. It's also going to add a new character class "never before seen in the Diablo universe."

Blizzard has already had plenty to share with Diablo IV fans at BlizzCon so far, kicking things off with the unveiling of the game's first expansion, Vessel of Hatred, at the event's opening ceremony on Friday.  

On the opening night of BlizzCon 2023, Blizzard announced Diablo IV Vessel of Hatred, the first big DLC expansion coming to the action RPG blockbuster in late 2024.

New Malignant Power rings, a limited-time level 100 endgame event, and a holiday event are all coming soon.

With this year's BlizzCon now firmly underway, Blizzard has been whipping up the crowds with a bunch of announcements during its Opening Ceremony, including initial details on Diablo 4's first expansion. It's called Vessel of Hatred and it's due «late» next year.

It's no secret that the buzz around Blizzard has waned in recent years. From the various scandals that have rocked Activision Blizzard since the Pandemic to the lukewarm response to the games themselves, we've seen the once galvanized fanbase somewhat muted in recent years.

From Dead Space and Resident Evil 4 Remake to Starfield and Tears of the Kingdom, there's been no shortage of great games to play this year. But is too much of a good thing… bad?

When a popular game is released, and it’s both praised by players and sells well overall, developers will typically try and provide more content over time if possible. Some titles don’t “need” expansions or DLC, and then there are those that get them on the regular simply because they can or developers know fans will buy them up. Diablo IV was a title that many hoped would be good, and then it turned out to be so good that fans bought it in droves, setting record numbers in the process. So the question after launch was, “How long would Blizzard support it?”

The mere announcement of Diablo Immortal was enough to cause an uproar at BlizzCon 2018. At the time, fans were dearly hoping to learn about a new mainline game coming to PC and consoles, but Blizzard unveiled its first Diablo title for mobile devices. The negative feedback was so strong that even Activision's stock took a hit.

Today is a hump day of eclectic deals with no particular throughline. "Cheap stuff that's good and worth owning" — that's all I can say for it. If you put a gun to my head and told me to pick the best ones, I'd have to go with the ludicrous longevity represented in a 22% cheaper Diablo IV on PC or a 67% off Diablo III Collection on Xbox. Great games played solo. Phenomenal games in two-player or four-player co-op, respectively.

Yesterday, Blizzard Entertainment announced that Diablo IV players would be able to enjoy a 25% increased XP and gold rate across all realms (Eternal and Seasonal) and World Tiers this weekend, thanks to Lilith's 'Mother's Blessing'.

Diablo 4 Is offering some special gold and XP bonuses this coming weekend, starting on September 1st.

Path of Exile 2 is quietly one of the most anticipated action RPGs around. Grinding Gear Games recently took the wraps off its big sequel, in the process confirming that it will be a standalone release.

Indie game Last Epoch has no intentions of submitting to the franchise power of games like Diablo IV, Path of Exile 2, and the recently unveiled Titan Quest II.

Blizzard has revealed Season 2 of Diablo IV, and it comes with a surprising guest star.

Blizzard Entertainment has released the trailer for the second season of Diablo IV along with the announcement that it's arriving on October 17th. According to IGN, Rod Fergusson, who oversees the development of the franchise, players will get vampire powers and will face against a vampire lord in the new questline during the opening night of Gamescom 2023. Season 2 of the online action role-playing game is called "Season of Blood," because yes, it does feature vampires. 

Diablo IV's second season, Season of Blood, got its first reveal during Gamescom Opening Night Live. This free second season lets you become a vampire hunter sporting new vampiric powers to take down these bloodsucking invaders. 

Hundreds of preowned Xbox games are on sale at GameStop, including Diablo 4 and Dead Island 2.

The former NPD Group (now named “Circana”) has released its full North American sales data for June, and the horse race was an interesting one. Players spent $4.2 billion on games, additional content, and hardware in June, a 1 percent year-on-year increase. The PS5 continued its strong streak, being #1 in terms of both unit and dollar sales, but the slowing momentum of the aging Switch meant July hardware sales were down 19 percent year-on-year.

Video gamers have a unique “complex” about them if you will. You see, they will spend a lot of time hyping themselves up for a video game that won’t come out for months or years, and then when it arrives, they’ll enjoy it for as long as possible, and then, they’ll start the process over with another title. That process doubles when they’ve played a great game and want the sequel ASAP. For Blizzard, they made fans wait a very long time before releasing Diablo IV, and now fans are wondering if they’ll have to wait an equally long time for the fifth entry.
