This is a Good Time to Return to ‘Diablo III’

Published

on

Starcraft, World of Warcraft and Diablo have more in common than the game of Rock, Paper, Scissors they’re each built on. They’re also proof that Blizzard has mastered the craft of creating video games that are as epic as they are frighteningly addictive.

I spent a decade with Diablo II, and I would’ve spent many, many more had Diablo III not come along to replace it. Even though it originally released in 2012, a steady stream of quality, and free, endgame content has kept it from becoming too tedious.

The latest update — patch 2.4.0 — aims to do just that by adding a substantial amount of new content, including a swampy new environment called Greyhallow Island, a larger stash, and a couple dozen new dungeons that reward players with pieces of a set, which can be collected to unlock more dungeons. You can learn more about it in the video below.

Patch 2.4.0 is a free update that’s available now on PC, PS4 and Xbox One.

Clive Barker

We told you earlier this month that horror legend Clive Barker is leaving the convention scene behind to focus entirely on his writing, with various upcoming projects in the works.

A series of final appearances from Barker will begin at Days of the Dead Chicago this month, and we’ve learned Barker will also be coming to Monster Mania in New Jersey.

Clive Barker will be signing at Monster Mania 59 in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, which runs from August 2 – August 4, 2024. Stay tuned for more info from the convention.

Barker’s official statement earlier this month explained, “… it’s time to focus entirely on writing. I’m not stopping public events because I’ve lost delight in meeting you all over the years. I’m as passionate as ever about sharing my imagination with readers and moviegoers around the world. In the very room where I’m writing these words, I have the manuscripts for a very large number of projects (Thirty-one of them), some very close to completion, others still telling themselves. There are some wild projects in this collection of works, whether close to finished or done. There are also stories that you all knew I would be finishing.”

“Abarat IV and V are amongst the books at my feet,” he continued. “So is the Third and final book of The Art and the sequel to The Thief of Always. There are also return visits to characters and mythologies you may have thought I would never return to.

“I hope I am still able to surprise you in the decades ahead.”
