‘Diablo IV’ Announced at BlizzCon 2019
The leaks were true, after all. At this year’s BlizzCon, Blizzard has unveiled Diablo IV, specifically the announcement cinematic. No release date yet, but this should soften the blow for those turned off by the mobile game announced last year based in the Diablo universe, Diablo Immortal.
As part of the reveal, three classes – Barbarian, the Sorceress, and the Druid – were confirmed. On top of that, we also get a gameplay trailer, featuring graphics that appear to have gone back to the drab Diablo 2.
You can also hit up the official site, which is now live. Diablo IV is expected on PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
The House of The Dead fans have a new rail shooter to dive into with Alex Rassloff‘s MEATHOOK, which will be launching on Steam on July 21. If you can’t wait that long, you can check out the demo, which features seven of the game’s 10 levels.
This survival horror FPS sees you being captured by a mysterious cult, which has killed your partner and suspended you from a conveyor mechanism like a piece of meat. Making matter worse, you’re now forced to partake in a collection of ritualistic challenges, collecting weapons and cleansing the tunnels of cultists that are looking to carve you up.
Sporting throwback PS1-style graphics and gore, MEATHOOK also features a tactile physics-driven weapon system as well as a unique manual reload feature. You navigate the small interconnected levels by selecting markers to move along the conveyor that takes you throughout the levels. You’ll be stocking up on resources such as food, ammo, keys and guns.
For added replay, there are multiple paths to discover, as well as a few shortcuts. There are also secret items to discover for the completionists in mind.
