Diablo

Halloween is my favorite time of the year, and luckily, Blizzard has chosen to celebrate in most of their games as well this year.

In the Diablo 4 expansion Vessel of Hatred, players follow Neyrelle, who has taken Mephisto's soulstone into the jungles of Nahantu, the main setting for the expansion.

Welcome (back) to Diablo 3 Season 32: Season of Ethereal Memory!

The Diablo 4 team crafts some beautiful cosmetic sets, and their newest theme -- a crossover with World of Warcraft -- continues to deliver premium quality.

Seething Opals are a new consumable elixir introduced as part of Diablo 4 Season 6 and are designed to give a more focused route of obtaining different gear and materials.

Realmwalkers are the bosses of the public event for Diablo 4 Season 6, Season of Hatred Rising, that started concurrently with the Vessel of Hatred expansion.

All I have done since I closed the podcast this Tuesday is play Diablo 4, use the potty, shovel emergency food into my craw so I can continue to play Diablo 4, and love my wife. And that last one I don’t have to think about because she’s the only thing I love more than Diablo 4 right now. My cat and dog are on par with it, and the rest? Well, I’m sure it’s all very nice. But I don’t have a giant winged hat or glowing tattoos all over my body in real life, much less blow up demons with blood orbs.

Anyway, let’s get this Queue done so I can go back to Sanctuary and see just how bad Neyrelle has screwed this all up.

While previous Diablo games have typically had a single expansion a year or two after the initial launch of the game, Diablo 4 promises annual expansions, the first of which is Vessel of Hatred.

Diablo 4's first expansion, Vessel of Hatred, was due to launch today, October 7, at 4pm pacific alongside Season 6, but Adam Fletcher (otherwise known as PezRadar, Diablo's Global Director of Community) says the launch is delayed due to a "small technical issue." Frankly, it wouldn't be a Diablo 4 launch without some kind of technical problem, but we seem to be in for a fairly long downtime tonight.

Long-time Diablo fans probably remember Runewords from Diablo 2, in which you collected Runes to socket into your gear and combine to create Runewords, which were similar to affixes on Diablo 4 Legendary gear.
