World of Warcraft Boss Drops An Overpowered Weapon in Season of Discovery

Following the recent Campfire Chat Developer Livestream on March 20th, Blizzard has been providing extra details regarding some of the upcoming changes and features we can expect in Diablo 4 Season 4. Recently, Blizzard has confirmed that the new Uber Boss Andariel will be an alternative to fighting Duriel for the coveted Uber Unique items such as The Grandfather.

PocketPair's Palworld — a game that the internet dubbed 'Pokemon with guns' ahead of its early access release in January — has been a huge success for both the developer and Xbox.

Diablo 4’s Associate Game Director Joe Piepiora announced that Legendary and Unique drops will no longer be soulbound in Season 4, meaning players can trade Legendary Armor and Weapons to other players. This will only apply to drops as Imprinting a Legendary Aspect on an item will make it soulbound.

The Unreal Engine 5 remake of Riven: The Sequel to Myst, previously known as Riven: New Discoveries From the Lost D'ni Empire but now officially just called plain-old Riven, is coming this year, original developer Cyan Worlds has announced. 

The latest New World Forged in Aeternum is out, and the team discusses the narrative and mechanics of Soul Trials, including why they’re not replayable (yet), goals behind them, and answer community questions.

During today's GTC 2024 keynote, NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang showed a new AI NPC demo called Covert Protocol. Unlike the Kairos demo demonstrated at CES 2024, which was based on Convai technology, this one is powered by Inworld AI, the other major AI NPC platform geared towards game development. As you may recall, Inworld AI was first added by modder 'Bloc' in games like Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, and Grand Theft Auto V, though Rockstar quickly took that down to the dismay of the creator.

Using Chiori’s best build in can significantly improve her performance as a Geo sub-DPS and support on the field, which in turn results in extra damage output and less trouble from opponents. The 5-star unit is one of the new pieces of content added with Version 4.5 in mid-March. The character had previously been introduced as an NPC in Version 4.3’s flagship event but is now fully playable. Chiori’s main usage as a new character in 4.5 is dealing Geo DMG while off-field, supporting her main Geo DPS unit for increased elemental resonance.

Recent Genshin Impact leaks show two new bosses and Remuria enemies that will allegedly arrive in version 4.6. With the closed beta test for Genshin Impact's update 4.6 now underway, leaks about the upcoming content have arisen. It was revealed that the next version will expand Teyvat into new sub-regions, Bayda Harbor and Petrichor Island, to fill some empty spaces on the map. In addition, it will bring back a fan-favorite domain event, Vibro-Crystal Research, that requires players to dispatch enemies within a limited time to earn Primogems and other rewards.

Genshin Impact players can now have their first glimpse into the new zone of Remuria, located below the surface of Teyvat on a separate world map. While Version 4.5 is considered by many to be a quieter patch, Version 4.6 of Genshin Impact appears to be packed with new content. The update will mark the arrival of Arlecchino as a playable character, and will introduce two new artifact sets, a new world boss, and a new Trounce Domain near Mont Esus. More importantly, it will feature the third subterranean zone after Enkanomiya and the Chasm, which have traditionally been fan favorites.

World of Warcraft Classic has released a new update for Season of Discovery, which primarily deals with class tuning, but also makes some important changes to the Stranglethorn Vale boss. While it's safe to say that Season of Discovery has been a major success for World of Warcraft Classic, the experiment is still ongoing. Its premise has allowed the developers to reinvent the Classic experience, divided into five distinct phases, each being capped off with an endgame raid instance appropriate for its level cap.

One of the summons you can unlock in is the Phoenix, a fiery bird your party has to beat in an intense boss battle. Fought in the simulations of the NPC Chadley, defeating this powerful beast will give you a new Materia that can call upon the creature. Having the Phoenix on your side as an ally can be extremely helpful in future challenging battles.

Season of Discovery has given the developers free rein to reinvent World of Warcraft Classic, as the latest update brings major buffs to Mages and Hunters, as well as Paladins, Warlocks, and Warriors to a lesser degree. Though retail certainly found success with Dragonflight, World of Warcraft Classic players have seen Hardcore Mode and Season of Discovery added to the game, two different approaches to Classic content that have both resonated with the World of Warcraft community.
