Diablo Immortal Has Reportedly Made $24M in its Opening 2 Weeks!
You would’ve been forgiven for thinking that given all the negative news surrounding Diablo Immortal (pretty much ever since it was originally revealed) that it was probably shaping up to be one of the biggest gaming flops of 2022. – This is, of course, primarily driven by the fact that…

Blizzard is Hiring a Microtransactions Manager for Diablo 4
I daresay that it probably hasn’t escaped your attention that the decent release of Diablo Immortal has come with more than a little controversy for Blizzard over the predatory nature of its in-game economy. – Put simply, while the game itself is actually pretty good fun, to get a truly…

Twitch Streamer Spends Over $6,500 on Diablo Immortal – Gets ZERO 5-Star Gems
While Diablo Immortal might seem like an excellent game on the surface (which it is), it’s hard to deny that the predatory nature of its in-game economy has caused it to (quite rightly) be maligned by both fans and critics. With it being estimated that it would cost either $110,000…

World of Warcraft’s Next Expansion Name Confirmed After Blizzard Blunder
I think it would be fair to say that World of Warcraft isn’t what it once was. And that’s not, incidentally, any kind of criticism as, by and large, the game has always remained fairly decent. – If anything though, the biggest problem that has faced World of Warcraft over…

Activision Blizzard Confirm Something from ‘Warcraft’ is Coming to Mobile
While many of us are still reeling from the news last month that Microsoft has successfully purchased Activision/Blizzard, this deal didn’t, of course, mean that the immediate plans for the developer were going to be placed on indefinite hold. While it’s unclear how much of an influence this deal may…

Microsoft Confirms Call of Duty Titles Will Still Come to PlayStation – For Now…
Let’s be honest, while it always seemed possible, if not probable, that Activision might have eventually stepped in to shut down Blizzard, the news of Microsoft successfully acquiring them for a deal in the region of $70BN last week literally came out of nowhere. While this has, of course, raised…

Lego to End its Partnership With Blizzard Over Mounting Criticism?
The world of Lego is a happy warm place where everyone is invited to join in on the fun with the only limits being your imagination. In other words, Lego is something of the polar opposite of Blizzard Entertainment. – With the upcoming release of a brand new Overwatch 2…

Blizzard Releases 9-Minutes of New Diablo IV Gameplay Footage
After what has been an incredibly lousy year for the developer (for reasons we’re not going to rehash here), you do seem to increasingly get the feeling that Blizzard Entertainment simply has to get back on track with some new and decent gaming releases as soon as possible. With it…

Diablo 4 and Overwatch 2 Are Both Officially Delayed!
It’s hardly any secret that 2021 has not been a particularly good year for Blizzard. In fact, putting aside the Burning Crusade expansion from WoW Classic, and the rather well publicised internal scandals, this will mark yet another year where the company has brought practically nothing to the market. Well,…

Blizzard Offers Free Battle.net User Name Change!
As some of you are probably aware, Blizzard recently confirmed that Overwatch’s McCree had (due to a number of controversies I’m not going to bother mentioning here) undergone a name change.

Warcraft 3 Fan Remake Shows the Difference Between Love & Money!
There is no polite way to say this, so I’m just going to blurt it out. When Warcraft 3 Reforged was released in January 2020, it was a sham of what it was supposed, or indeed, deserved to be. While certainly not unplayable, it was pretty clear that Blizzard had…

Microsoft Store Leaks Diablo 2 Resurrected Beta Date?
Diablo 2 Resurrected is quite possibly one of my most anticipated upcoming gaming releases. Having pumped hundreds of hours into the original version (and often staying up exceptionally late into the night for ‘just a few more goes’ in the Cow Level) presuming Blizzard doesn’t cock this up as badly…
