World of Warcraft: Forever looks—well, pretty interesting, all told. Rather than just being a Season of Discovery-style reimagining of Classic, Forever promises to be a full-on remake of classic-era WoW. Reimagined class trees, new raids, and $30 elves. Don’t think about the $30 elves too hard. But it does beg the question, why is Blizzard…
Diablo 5 may be set in a lonely world ravaged by a demon lord, but you’ll still be able to team up with your friends like in previous Diablo games. Senior game director Joe Shely confirmed that Diablo 5 will fully support multiplayer in a group interview with PC Gamer: “Like Diablo 4, it is…
Wouldn’t it be nice if more of Blizzard’s classic games were available on Steam? People could easily play them on their Steam Decks! But no, that’s not happening. Instead, we’re getting Cyberpunk 2077 on Battle.net. After announcing at GamesCom that The Witcher 3’s upcoming remastered version would release on Battle.net as well as the expected…
World of Warcraft Forever might be stuck in the first year of the MMO for the foreseeable future, but it’s going to draw from future iterations of it to freshen up the experience. Blizzard held a panel at BlizzCon today where WoW Forever developers dug into the crucial design changes that will differentiate it from…
Warcraft 3: Reforged got a hefty 3.0 patch alongside its new Forsaken Kingdom expansion, but not all of the changes are for the better. Amid bugfixes and new features, Reforged now requires an internet connection to play, even in singleplayer, and it also removed the game’s local area network (LAN) functionality. Blizzard did not provide…
As noted by MMORPG.com, World of Warcraft: Forever is coming with a peculiar economic proposition: Most of the new fork of the MMO is included in your normal WoW subscription (rad), but the new Skyborne Elf race (and its corresponding starter zone experience) is gated behind a separate, $30 purchase (sad). While “$30 elf” might…
Following the announcement of a new StarCraft game at BlizzCon’s Opening Ceremony, GM and creative director Dan Hay (best known for Far Cry 3-6) spoke to Korean media about the open-world shooter. Based on Inven Global’s transcript, it sounds like StarCraft will be a shooter along the lines of the Far Crys, though with a…
I still remember the PC Gamer cover from October 2006 featuring Company of Heroes as the vanguard of the “RTS Revolution.” This was back in the day that I would walk down to the local grocery store to grab each new physical issue off of the news stand. I had just turned 17. I was…
I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but the games industry kind of sucks. Despite (and because of) the absurd amount of money games rake in, there’s an ungodly degree of consolidation, the RAMpocalypse, and constant, huge waves of layoffs. Tim Cain, who co-created the original Fallout, uploaded a video to YouTube last Wednesday explaining why…
Over the last few days, Roblox’s 2026 Developers Conference was held in San Jose, California, and one of Roblox CEO David Baszucki’s on-stage introduction’s hit something of a hitch. Roblox YouTuber Mathieo took to the stage shouting, “We deserve better, don’t we deserve better,” while revealing a shirt that read “Kids deserve better,” until he…
