Diablo 4’s endgame and loot system is about to look a lot more Diablo 2-like, with the upcoming Lord of Hatred expansion set to bring back low-level loot to higher levels with one massive change: those items will soon have the chance to drop with greater affixes, something currently only possible in legendary loot.Currently, at some point toward Diablo 4’s endgame, basic loot like common, magic, and rare items all but stop dropping to make way for higher level, more powerful gear, which is identified by its orange color as opposed to blue, white, and yellow-colored bad loot. Visually, that…
I think that genres, particularly in the realm of games, are often more used as marketing tools than signifiers of the contents therewithin. Still! Genre labels are a useful thing to quickly ascertain the thing you’re doing in a game. Take, for example, Arc Raiders and its specific genre of extraction shooter. You know you’ll be shooting, and extracting something, even if it technically isn’t that simple in practice, but you get the gist. However, at one point in time, the genre of the game completely depended on who you asked. Production director Caio Braga recently gave a…
Huntrix fans, warm up your sing-a-long skills, because KPop Demon Hunters 2 is officially coming to Netflix, with the original film’s directors Maggie Kang and Chris Appelhans returning for the hotly anticipated sequel.”I feel immense pride as a Korean filmmaker that the audience wants more from this Korean story and our Korean characters,” says Kang in a statement. “There’s so much more to this world we have built, and I’m excited to show you. This is only the beginning.””These characters are like family to us, their world has become our second home,” adds Appelhans. “We’re excited to write their next…
The devs behind Moonlighter are already back with something new. While they’re still tinkering away with the early access release of Moonlighter 2, at the Future Games Show Spring Showcase they revealed another roguelike entirely: ReVamp, a tower defence spin on the genre that pits you as Dracula himself protecting his castle. Now, you might be wondering why Dracula is stuck having to defend his castle. That’s because he’s been cursed by Achlys, goddess of the night, forcing him (and subsequently you) to face endless waves of mortals every night. Rather than Dracula himself fending off his foes,…
I’ve got a bone to pick with the internet. Specifically, the corner of the internet that’s very angry 1348 Ex Voto exists. You see, all this time I’ve been unironically referring to it by its alternative title, coined by its earliest detractors: “the lesbian knight game.” It’s a neat shorthand for a story-driven action-adventure that doesn’t have the most memorable name. It’s also wildly inaccurate. Developer Sedleo hasn’t marketed 1348 Ex Voto as an explicitly LGBTQIA+ game, yet its portrayal of a female knight-errant and her close bond with a castle servant is apparently enough to trigger the “woke” alarm.…
It doesn’t matter if they’re AAA or indie; third-person or first-person; dystopian, militaristic, or horror, live-service games keep meeting Highguard’s fate – arriving in a gorgeous bubble of hype only to get popped and delisted. But not Dead by Daylight, whose developer Behaviour Interactive is now celebrating 10 years of the asymmetrical multiplayer’s success at Game Developer Conference 2026, where creative director Dave Richard and head of partnership Mathieu Cote tells GamesRadar+ the secret.The secret is… “Everything’s tough. It’s a hellish landscape of challenges,” says Richard. Actually, that’s not a secret, it’s reality. Cote adds that, “A lot of people…
Video games are such funny things, because I think if you were to tell someone unfamiliar with them that there is genuine enjoyment to be had in pushing some blocks around in a virtual space they’d look at you as if you’d told them there’s genuine enjoyment to be hand in pushing some blocks around in a virtual space. And yet it’s true! It’s one of the classic puzzle game genres, going way back to 1982 with Sokoban. And here we are now, many years later, with a new entry to the genre in the form of Hazard Pay,…
Who is the new League of Legends champion? As the MOBA’s roster continues to expand (it currently sits at a colossal 172), Riot has admitted that it’s planning to release less champions per year. Ahead of the highly anticipated League Next update, which in many ways sounds like a sequel without the generic ‘2,’ the developer is adjusting its champion release cadence dramatically, which is bad news for those of you who are looking for something new in League of Legends, but, in my mind, essential to the health of the overall game. So, without further ado, here’s everything we…
A new trailer for Malcolm in the Middle: Life’s Still Unfair has arrived – and it’s more absurd than I could’ve ever even imagined.In the brief clip, which can be viewed below, Malcolm’s doing just fine some 20 years after the show’s end, living a happy and nondysfunctional life with his daughter Lea (Keeley Karsten) and girlfriend Tristan (Kiana Madeira). The reason his life is so good, he says, is because he completely cut his parents and brothers out of his life some time ago… and doesn’t want Lea or Tristan to know anything about them. This all comes to…
That’s cool, but can I whip out a six-shooter while my private parts dangle in the breeze and cause a rootin’ tootin’ ruckus that leaves my enemies with chills going up their spine whenever they see bare buttocks? This is the question I’ve found myself asking of The Legend of California, a multiplayer survival shooter that the studio currently led by former Overwatch director Jeff Kaplan are releasing in early access this year.
