Rumour: A Remaster is in Development For ‘Diablo II’ For Later This Year?!
Once again, grab your salt shakers.
With the 20th anniversary (holy crap, I’m old) of Blizzard’s classic Diablo II coming up next month, and despite its original creators doubting that it would be possible, French website Actugaming claims that we might be in store for a remaster.
According to their sources, the remaster would be called Diablo II Resurrected, and would hit later this year. Vicarious Visions, the same team behind the Crash Bandicoot N.Sane Trilogy, are the ones behind the development duties. The game could be announced during Summer Game Fest, the video game celebration meant to replace E3 that’ll run through May until August, or Blizzard is keeping the surprise hidden until BlizzCon in November.
Though it could be a coincidence, a new listing on Gamestop has appeared for a Diablo II Tyrael Funko PoP figure.
Regardless of whether this is indeed true, fans are still waiting on Diablo IV, which is in development for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.
After a few delays that resulted in the game missing its original June release, Kwalee and Australian solo indie developer Bun Muen‘s co-op detective horror title Shift at Midnight has finally launched on PC via Steam and itch.io, and the Xbox Series. Steam users can grab a 10% launch discount from now until July 29.
Shift at Midnight is an online co-op title for up to 3 players, where you and your friends work together across randomly generated shifts to investigate their customers at a local gas station. Managing a gas station is tough work, as you’ll need to keep your stock shelves full and sell enough products to meet your quota each night, take deliveries and keep your store tidy.
At the same time, you’ll need to interrogate each customer as you serve – as some are not human and are in fact doppelgangers.To do so, you may ask each customer five questions, examine their ID, cross-check their details in the computer, and observe their behaviour.
If you miss one doppelganger, they will return later that shift to try and kill you and your friends. To prevent this, you must take the obvious route and execute them on site. If you mess up, be prepared to set traps, barricade the doors and hide as the doppelgangers return as monsters.
