Diablo 4 Season 11, Season of Divine Intervention, has started...

Ok the title is a joke, because as expected Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 absolutely cleaned up at the Game Awards last night taking home Game of the Year and eight other trophies. The one trophy it didn’t take home though? Best Audio Design, which went to Battlefield 6. It’s kind of an odd exclusion because E33 won Best Score and Music, so I’m really curious what Battlefield 6 was able to do in their audio that earned them the reward. I mean not curious enough to actually play it, but still.

So while I mentally recover from all the times I saw “2027” in the show, let’s answer some questions starting with a couple about wood!

This week we're still immersed in Player Housing, but just a little bit of the shine has worn off, mostly as we've tried to chop down enough trees to decorate the houses of our dreams.

Player housing has joined the World of Warcraft universe to much fanfare and excitement as people join their communities in developing (and decorating) in-game homes.

Diablo 4 developers told us to watch The Game Awards and we were not disappointed -- their next expansion, Diablo 4: Lord of Hatred, continues our (rather expected) fight against Mephisto.

Diablo 4 players finally get the sword-and-board holy warrior they've been hoping for with the newly announced Paladin class.

With the release of player housing, we have been given hundreds of items to design our perfect homes, but certain races seemed to have received the short end of the stick, including Gnomes, who have perhaps the shortest stick of all.

It likes when I give pets. Sure, it’s a robot that floats and can shoot people with the gun mounted to its tail, but it still likes a good skritch.

Diablo 4 patch 2.5.0 and Season 11 launch on December 11 — at the unusual time of 8:30pm pacific (11:30pm eastern) — and feature some significant changes to defense systems, including healing and Fortify, as well as version 2.0 of Masterworking and Tempering.

The Pit of Artificers was added to Diablo 4 in Season 4 as a timed endgame dungeon activity similar to Diablo 3's Greater Rifts.
