Diablo 4 has a big, small problem: inventory space. There’s just not enough of it. Among all the other cool things coming next year in Vessel of Hatred, Diablo 4’s first expansion, are a number of fixes designed to help players with the endless bag-space management task that is, perhaps, inevitable in Blizzard’s loot-explosion action…
Revenant Hill made a big impression on us when it was revealed back in May: Associate editor Ted Litchfield said it “looks to press the gas on both autumnal vibes and the themes of early industrial labor organizing,” which actually sounds pretty spot-on when you consider that developer The Glory Society was founded by Night…
A lot of games claim to authentically recreate some beloved old style, whether that’s 16-bit RPGs or a particular horror vibe, but few truly capture the spirit of their chosen era as well as Lunacid does. From the very beginning it’s clear indie developer Kira understands that the PlayStation look—now almost 30 years old—is about…
Earlier this year, Activision Blizzard expressed doubt about the long-term future of the Overwatch League, and said its efforts to maintain the city-based pro esports league “may prove unsuccessful.” That has turned out to be the case, as Activision confirmed today that the Overwatch League as we know it is finished.

Risk of Rain 2 keeps on trucking.

(Or, you know, whatever.) Currently, the privacy options…
Grammy-winning British singer-songwriter Adele is currently in the middle of a multi-year Las Vegas residency at Caesars Palace. “Weekends with Adele” runs until 2024, and the idea came about after the artist found herself fed-up with the touring life but still wishing to perform in more intimate settings where she can talk to the audience…
As promised, Starfield’s big DLSS update is now live in beta testing on Steam, which means Nvidia owners can finally take advantage of the higher frame rates their GPUs are capable of. It seemed weird that Starfield did not support DLSS at launch, given that more than 80% of PC gamers have Nvidia graphics cards…
Live service games are evolving. The major multiplayer shooters of the 2010s are starting to show their age in the 2020s, leaving their stewards to answer an interesting question: How do you move a service game into the future without disrupting its active player base, or starting completely fresh? In the cases of Overwatch 2…
Age of Wonders 4, easily Triumph’s best 4X, received a meaty free update alongside its premium expansion this week. The expansion itself is pretty tantalising, introducing a new form with the Avians, the Reaver culture, new tomes and a whole lot more, but the free update feels almost as significant. The Golem update, which is…
