Diablo 4’s Warlock looks like an unhinged Necromancer with Sorcerer energy in first look at gameplay

Psychic Software have announced The Lich Wars, a standalone prequel for their widely acclaimed RPG The Necromancer's Tale. Widely acclaimed by me, anyway. I'm pretty wide, these days – the local Morrisons keeps doing discounts on 80-biccy packets of bourbon creams. I liked The Necromancer's Tale specifically for how it wove a whole RPG around the narrative dynamics of a single RPG class, with players performing rituals in each chapter to develop their morbid spellcraft, while managing the suspicions of nearby townsfolk. I also really loved its choose-your-own-adventure prologue. The Lich Wars sort of spins the prologue out into a full game.

Diablo 4's latest Developer Update is nearly upon us, and it's one plenty of the game's fans and players have been looking forward to. Diablo 4’s next, long-awaited Developer Update finally airs today. This meaty livestream was first announced nearly a month ago, when Blizzard initially revealed that the game’s next class is the Warlock.

Blizzard has officially unveiled the Warlock, the second class coming to Diablo 4 with Lord of Hatred. Diablo 4’s segment in the big Diablo 30th Anniversary Spotlight was among the biggest, even if the reason most of us tuned in was somewhat spoiled earlier in the same livestream. Blizzard unveiled the Warlock, the second of two classes coming to the game with the upcoming Lord of Hatred expansion.

One hour with Marvelous' new turn-based RPG. Recently, I visited Marvelous at its Shinagawa headquarters for a one-hour preview of its upcoming turn-based RPG Eternal Anima. As a disclaimer, attendees were gifted a bottle of sake with an Eternal Anima-themed label, presented in a special wooden box engraved with the game’s logo. The demo offered two save files set at points relatively close to each other in the story, both on normal difficulty (there are multiple difficulty options) during Chapter 3. The first let me explore a continent called Ambulis, including the forest village of La Boset, while the second picked up a little further along, after leaving the village and continuing toward a boss encounter. I started by returning to the ship to explore, where I found several rooms that appear to serve different purposes as the game progresses. Characters and certain mechanics seem to become available here at some point during the story. During the demo, I found a cauldron for “Concocting” (crafting) items, as well as a blacksmith where you can craft weapons, armor, accessories, and “M. O. S. Components” for M. O. S., the robotic companion in your party.
