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.

52 of the Steam Frame’s 130 Certified Games Run Through Valve’s Android Layer

Valve's registry reveals that Lepton is an Android app with aliases lepton-stable and fauxdroid, translating from android to linux. Steam pages for Pavlov Shack, Table Space, and Action Hero show no PC build, indicating they are VR-only. Existing PC VR pages are adding Android depots, with some titles certified on Lepton. The porting process for Quest builds to Steam Frame is easier than rebuilding for PC VR. Valve is favoring the Android path for porting software to the Frame, despite initial intentions to bring PC VR library to standalone hardware. The release date for these titles is still unknown.
