‘Diablo II: Resurrected’ Technical Alpha Test Begins This Friday
Blizzard and Vicarious Visions are giving players a chance to try out the upcoming Diablo II remake in Diablo II: Resurrected later this month with their Single-player Technical Alpha. Available to PC users, the Alpha will begin this Friday, April 9, at 7:00am Pacific Time, and last until April 12 at 10:00am Pacific Time.
Of course, as these things go, it will be limited to a selection of players who opted-in for the Technical Alpha. Those who do get to participate in the Alpha will be able to choose from three of the seven classes (Barbarian, Sorceress and Amazon), and be able to play through the entirety of the first two Acts of the game, taking you to up to Lut Gholein. There will also be no level cap, so you’ll be able to grind to your heart’s content.
Diablo II: Resurrected is due out for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Xbox Series, Nintendo Switch and PC in 2021.

Horror Action-Adventure Title ‘EONA’ Appearing at Gamescom 2026; New Gameplay Trailer Released [Watch]
With gamescom 2026 right around the corner, developer/publisher SUPER AC has revealed that their upcoming horror adventure game EONA will be making an appearance at the show, which takes place from August 26-30. In addition, the team has revealed a new gameplay trailer, as well as announcing that the game will launch “just a few weeks” after gamescom.
Those attending gamescom will be able to play the final version of EONA at the SUPER AC booth, located in Hall 10.1, Booth A043. If you’re not able to attend, you can always check out the demo for the game on Steam.
EONA centres around the eponymous girl, who after a failed spell, has her soul split into two, with one half residing in a mysterious puppet. Eona must enter the castle of the evil fairy Mélusine and recover an artifact that is the only hope of saving her mother. But the path through the castle comes at a cost. To achieve her goal, Eona must uncover the castle’s secrets… and ultimately confront Mélusine herself.
Eona wields the Puppeteer’s Cross, a stolen artifact that allows her to manipulate the souls of the castle’s servants. By altering their behavior, redirecting their patrol routes, and disrupting the castle’s order, she can turn its own inhabitants against it. She can also swap between her human body and her puppet form, with each form granting unique abilities that are essential for delving deeper into the castle, reaching inaccessible areas, and uncovering its hidden secrets.
Blending stealth, exploration, puzzle-solving and soul manipulation, you’ll use Eona’s supernatural abilities to overcome obstacles—but never lose sight of your own body, which is completely vulnerable when using her puppet form.
In addition to Steam, EONA will also be launching on the Epic Games Store.
