Following the disastrous announcement of Diablo: Immortal at BlizzCon 2018, players were somewhat relieved to learn that Diablo 4 is finally in development. Recently here at TheGamer, we discussed how the failure of the Real Money Auction House (RMAH) was a catalyst that shifted how Diablo 3 was developed, and subsequently abandoned long before its original vision was fulfilled. This included the cancellation of a second expansion called The King of the North, and the rumor of a cancelled Druid class.
Players who have wanted to see actual gameplay from the title finally had their prayers answered during the Xbox & Bethesda Showcase. This long gameplay trailer showed that the game will allow players to visit multiple planets, explore various cities, meet NPCs, and fly their spaceship throughout space; although the promise of being able to visit over a thousand planets has divided viewers who envision this potentially slowing down the g
World of Warcraft is in a unique position to have a monthly subscription still serve as a viable model after failing so many other MMOs. Their expansions also demand purchase and serves to literally gate characters in old content and ten levels lower.
Harry Potter fans have been looking forward to 2023 due to the upcoming release of Hogwarts Legacy, which will fulfill many fans' dreams of becoming a student at Hogwarts, the magical school. Players will be able to select their House, customize their character, meet and befriend original characters, cast spells, and even kill dark wizards in Hogwarts Legacy . The game will also feature flying mechanics as part of its traversal system, and players can take part in broom race challenges. Unfortunately, the game will not offer a playable Quidditch game despite being highly demanded by f
Along with this showcase, there was also another presentation on June 14 at 1 p.m. called the Xbox Games Showcase Extended, which featured more announcements and in-depth looks. Even before that, this presentation had multiple worthwhile announcements including Diablo
It may be a matter of opinion for some that say Hearthstone is a friendly game for free-to-play players, but this writer has to agree with James „Firebat“ Kostesich, the first World Champion of the game and currently one of the best in the Grandmasters Tour.
Silent Hill 2 isn't exactly a game that one would expect to feature silly jokes, but that’s exactly what fans can find with the Silent Hill 2 dog ending. Obtaining one of the happier endings is fairly difficult, but players can find a different path at the Lakeview Hotel when they receive the dog key and head to the observation room on the third floor, but only after watching the videotape. This will unlock the secret Dog Ending that reveals the shiba inu dog that was behind the events of the g
Even if Diablo 4 had hiccups, its long-term success will hinge on how Blizzard reacts to one of its most treasured series of games. If players see that the company is as quick to abandon the next game to a similar state as Diablo 3 , no number of interesting features will mat

The desire to have meaningful PVP goes back to the days of Diablo 4 Lore 2 , and its formal inclusion in Diablo 3 during the 2010 BlizzCon was met with much praise. It wasn't a total success, however: over time the feature became problematic for Blizzard, and in 2012 it was cancelled entir
The more probable idea is to split the game into episodes, similar to what was done with Starcraft II over its long development and release. Alternatively, the game could go the route of World of Warcraft , which is to say that Blizzard could release expansions more frequently, perhaps every year or so. These would provide not only a small amount of new content, but also an all-important level cap increase to gate progression for existing players unless they buy in.
Along with this, another significant announcement during the presentation was that Xbox Game Studios is partnering with the iconic game developer Hideo Kojima to create a new game. According to Kojima, this untitled new game is something he has wanted to make for a very long t
