Diablo 5 gameplay details from BlizzCon: More classes than ever before, procedurally-generated dungeons, and Diablo 2-style loot

At BlizzCon 2026, it was announced that Diablo 5 will be set a century after Diablo 4, exploring the aftermath of the demon's impact on Sanctuary. The game is projected for release in spring 2029 and aims to address player feedback from Diablo 4. The narrative will feature Diablo as a central character rather than just a final boss, and players will work to restore Westmarch. Key features include procedurally-generated dungeons, a caravan of NPCs instead of traditional towns, returning classes like the demon hunter and monk, and new classes such as the plague knight. The game will launch with more classes than any previous installment, and items will have a tiered system and occupy multiple inventory slots. Blizzard plans to provide regular updates on the game's development starting next year.

Elden Ring players are hard at work putting the new Tarnished Edition DLC’s new gear to the test

The Tarnished Edition of Elden Ring has introduced new armor sets, weapons, and starting classes, prompting players to experiment with the game's mechanics. Notable player SaxSlaveGael demonstrated the effectiveness of a new sword's Muleta skill against the boss Gaius, while Ilamahradeys showcased the sword's power by nearly depleting the health of the Full-Grown Fallingstar Beast with a single jab. Players are also focusing on aesthetics, with the "fashion souls" concept thriving, as seen with admiration for a new chestpiece from the Idus starting class. Additionally, the heavy armor class introduced in the DLC has gained attention for its enhanced vigor and strength stats, beneficial for melee characters. The excitement for the Tarnished Edition reflects players' eagerness to explore the new content.

Old School RuneScape began when a dev ‘found the 2007 server in their desk drawer:’ 13 years later, it’s setting subscriber records for the long-lived MMO

In June, Jagex hosted its largest live event, the Deadman All Stars, a PvP tournament for Old School RuneScape (OSRS), outside the UK. Kieren Charles, the creative director of OSRS, noted that the game has grown significantly since its launch, stating, “The game's bigger now than it was in 2007.” OSRS surpassed the original RuneScape's age in 2013 and achieved an all-time high of over one million active subscribers last August. The decision to base OSRS on the 2007 version was influenced by player preference for what they considered the "golden age," despite initial interest in the 2006 version. OSRS is recognized as a pioneering example of officially-supported 'classic' servers, balancing community engagement with official support. Regular updates, including the upcoming Varlamore expansion in 2024, aim to keep the game fresh while maintaining its nostalgic essence. New content is approved through community votes, requiring a minimum of 70% approval. Charles emphasized the importance of community feedback, preferring to reject proposals rather than invest significant development time into unpopular features. He views his role as a caretaker of the OSRS legacy, focusing on what the community wants.
