If you love Diablo 4’s Necromancer, the next Titan Quest 2 update is made for you

Titan Quest 2 is an action role-playing game developed by Grimlore Games, focusing on core elements from the original game while avoiding the live-service model. The game is currently in early access, with an update scheduled for April that will introduce two major features: summons and talismans. Each mastery will include a summon skill with new passive abilities, allowing for diverse playstyles. Summons will function similarly to auras, requiring energy management, and the game will automatically re-summon fallen minions. The five current masteries and their summons include: - Storm: Wisps that unleash lightning strikes. - Warfare: War Banner that heals and buffs allies or debuffs foes. - Forge: Automaton, a customizable mechanical ally. - Earth: Core Dweller, a rock golem that deals damage. - Rogue: Shadow Clone that mirrors the player’s gear. The update will also introduce talismans for mages, replacing traditional shields and enhancing energy reserves. Additionally, there will be an overhaul of epic items, with significant buffs and reworks to improve their effects. Other enhancements include new affixes on gear and revamped implicits on staves for casters. The exact release date of the update is not specified, but it is described as "nearly ready for release."

Diablo 4 challenger confirms paid DLC classes are coming, and its Steam reviews have taken a massive hit

Eleventh Hour Games (EHG) is set to release Last Epoch's first major expansion, Orobyss, for free to existing players in late August or early September 2026. New players will need to purchase an updated base game bundle. The expansion will follow Seasons 4 and 5, with Season 4 introducing a new seasonal mechanic and several updates. EHG has announced the introduction of paid downloadable content (DLC) in the form of 'Paradox Classes,' which has led to backlash from the community due to concerns about balance and monetization. CEO Judd Cobler explained that the decision to monetize classes was driven by the lack of profitability from the first three seasons and the need for alternative revenue streams. The game's Steam review ratings have shifted from 'Mostly Positive' to 'Mixed' due to community dissatisfaction. EHG has also been acquired by Krafton, raising concerns about potential changes in monetization strategies.
