The Diablo 4 Season 3 livestream now has an official date and time. If you’re anything like me, the long wait with no details of the new season was somewhat anxiety inducing, so it’s good we finally have a date to pin.

Not only is it a soulslike with difficulty options, I also recently gave it a shout-out for having some of the best colour-blind options I’ve seen in a while (as verified by my own chroma-busted eyes).

The holidays may be over, but Game Pass is the gift that keeps on giving. So wrap up warm, hunker down, and place your cup of joe on the USB-powered coaster gizmo that mom panic bought you for Christmas, because it’s time to fend off the January blues with some mid-winter gaming.
