Several Diablo 4 players have reported that they randomly received the biggest XP boost of their life in the latest season. One player went from level 60 to 100 instantly, a process that usually takes several hours grinding dungeons. After some investigating, Blizzard found the culprit: a mischevious new unique dagger for rogues.
Seekers of Skyveil is like playing a MOBA with a tight time limit. You have to get in and out alive so you can come back with better stuff. It's an extraction shooter without the shooter, a genre twist that hooked me when I played it in May. Its developer Elodie Games runs regular playtests on Steam—which you can sign up for now—and next month it's going to enter closed beta.
My sorceress isn't even halfway to Diablo 4's max level and she's frying rooms full of monsters with lightning like I was playing an endgame build. After a hugely successful season 4, Blizzard didn't need to reinvent the mucus-slick wheel, but Diablo 4 season 5 frontloads the fun with the most exciting loot drops I've seen in the action RPG, period.
Square Enix's newest games aren't doing so hot. Without any major releases in the three-month period from April to June, its net sales dropped by 18.4% from the same period last year. Overall, however, the company still made a 250.1% operating profit, largely due to its mobile and MMO games, which means Final Fantasy 14 is one of the main things keeping its «digital entertainment» financials positive.
Palworld's explosive success earlier this year made developer Pocketpair heaps of money, but its CEO would rather make an indie-sized game over something that could «go beyond AAA.»
Much like the Dark Souls boss who can be defeated by throwing hundreds of dung pies over a wall, Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree's dual-wielding magic knight can be killed without stepping foot inside her boss room.
The last time we heard about Ark 2, the sequel to the popular dinosaur survival RPG, it was scheduled to come out by the end of this year in early access. Although it's been over a year since that news came out, when Microsoft put it on its list of playable demos at Gamescom, it seemed like we'd finally get an update on the Vin Diesel-starring sequel. And then it got removed.
Sorcerers and druids have had a rough time competing with Diablo 4's other classes even though Blizzard has improved almost everything else about the game. Both of them fall behind the others when it comes to raw power, and their most effective builds are not as fun. But in season 5, which starts next week, sorcerers and druids are getting loads of buffs to help them out before Blizzard takes a more comprehensive look at them after the expansion's release in October.
