First, Blizzard clarified this will only be available in Seasonal realms. After gaining access to World Tier IV, players must travel to the southwestern port in Gea Kul.

Blizzard's latest iteration in the hack-and-slash action RPG franchise will be available through the PC and console subscription service (which now has 34 million subscribers, according to Microsoft) starting on March 28.

Thankfully, it's not going to be a huge delay, as the Gauntlet dungeon is still on track for release during Season 3. Great seeing the excitement about the Gauntlet & Leaderboards. We're still on track for S3 […]
GeForce NOW, NVIDIA's cloud gaming service, is celebrating its fourth anniversary this month, and it's doing it in style with the addition of some popular games. Starting today, subscribers will be able to play Blizzard's Diablo IV and Overwatch 2, which are the second and third Activision Blizzard games to be added to GFN after Call of Duty. Do note that this is only valid for Steam, not Battle.net, as GeForce NOW still isn't compatible with Blizzard's launcher.

Diablo IV was discussed thoroughly by franchise General Manager Rod Fergusson (formerly head of the Gears of War franchise at The Coalition) in a recent interview with the YouTube channel Electric Playground Network. Among various topics related to the latest installment in the hack-and-slash series, the executive explained the different stance Blizzard is adopting when it comes to balancing versus allowing players to just have fun with their Diablo IV builds, even if they're a little broken for a while. People on Twitter will come at me like, hey, how dare you make this change to the Sorcerer? I'm like, […]
2023 has been a great year for gaming in general, but if there's one genre that marked the past twelve months, it is the roleplaying game genre. Despite many being sequels to established franchises like Baldur's Gate, Diablo, and Final Fantasy, they moved both the genre and the series they belong to forward, showing that there are still many interesting stories to tell in their universes. Picking just five games was as difficult as rolling a natural 20, but ultimately, the choices were made, and the skill check passed. Here are the best roleplaying games released in 2023. Also in […]
