Diablo

We finally have some idea of how Diablo Immortal is going to play and I'm glad to report it's still recognizably Diablo in its approach to itemization.

I'm excited every time we get a Quarterly Update for Diablo 4, despite the fact that these are updates for a game that's not out yet and that could all change at a moment's notice.

We finally know when Diablo Immortal will get any sort of public test: the answer is "now, if you live in Australia." The announcement of a technical alpha test says invites to Australian players who pre-registered on the Google Play Store have started going out, and there are already streamers showing off gameplay.

We are seeing more and more information about Diablo 4 and that has me really starting to think about what kind of game it's going to be.

The December 2020 Quarterly Update for Diablo 4 -- in general a very detailed update with a lot to chew on -- went into a change that brings back some of the RPG elements of the franchise.

In the December 2020 Quarterly Update for Diablo 4, we found out that the Skill Tree for the game has essentially been locked in as a system -- as Game Director Luis Barriga put it in the post, the general consensus is that the Skill Tree is headed in a solid direction and now it's time to iterate on and improve it.

Is there any joy quite like when you uncover an in-game secret?

After some bug-related delays, we’re finally within striking distance of a new Diablo 3 season.

I ask questions here sometimes because the answers have an illuminating presence on my own life.

Diablo 3 Season 22, the Shades of the Nephalem, brings with it a new Season Theme this November, and you may be curious about how the Shadow Clones work, how to make best use of them, or what exactly they even are.
