Diablo

Another Diablo 3 Season has begun, with Season 26 representing the theme of Echoing Nightmare starting on April 15.

A series of changes came to Greater Rifts in Diablo 3 patch 2.7.3 just ahead of the start of Season 26 that should make getting to the Rift Guardian a little faster, without the tedium of chasing monsters down the endless corridors of maps like the Hidden Aqueducts.

The new Season's start is one of my favorite times of the year.

We're coming up on the start of Diablo 3 Season 26, and Blizzard has thrown together a new end-game mode as a theme: the Echoing Nightmare.  This is the first seasonal theme that's added an entirely new activity to the title, but tackling this unique rift type remains optional, so don't stress if you'd prefer to complete the season's journey and earn rewards.

Diablo 3 Season 25 ends on April 10, and now we know that the next Season will follow quickly on its heels: Season 26 begins on Friday, April 15, just five days later.

For a lot of people, the announcement of the Final Fantasy 7 Remake was their dream -- the old classic getting a graphical update and a story that feels fresh but still contains all the elements they expected from their childhood crush all grown up and dressed sharp.

The team at Blizzard sure knows how to melt brains in one day. Yes, we got a Diablo Immortal iOS preorder announcement today, but another blog on transforming yourself in Diablo Immortal was quick on its heels.

A game's launch -- the period of time in which it first becomes available for widespread play -- is one of the most important for that game's overall reputation, and many factors can impact whether or not that crucial event goes smoothly.

Diablo 3 Season 25 started on December 10, and we now know it will end on Sunday, April 10.

Honestly, one of the reasons I'm still playing Diablo 3 all these years later (it came out in 2012) is because it still has this perfect gameplay loop that sparks a mellow, relaxed feeling for me.
