With Diablo IV having its open beta weekend in a matter of weeks, Blizzard has dropped a new trailer giving fans a taste of what to expect when they return to Sanctuary. It’s a short 30 seconds, but it shows off plenty of hellish gameplay.

For those needing to get up to speed, the Diablo IV open beta test will kick off on March 24, and last until March 26 across PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC via Battle.net. Those who pre-ordered the game (which you can do so here) will get early access to the beta from March 17 to 19.

The open beta will include both the prologue and first Act of the game. Players will have access to three classes, and can have a maximum of 10 characters per account. Characters can level up to level 25, and all main and side quests in that area will be available. For early access players, you can transfer your progress from the earlier open beta weekend to the next.

And for those itching for in-game collectibles, you’ve got three rewards available during the Diablo IV beta:

  • Initial Casualty Title: earned by reaching Kyovashad with one character.
  • Early Voyager Title: earned by reaching Level 20 on one character.
  • Beta Wolf Pack Cosmetic Item: earned by reaching Level 20 on one character.

Diablo IV is currently set for a June 6 release.

‘Crow Country’ Adds Xbox Series Release for May 9th [Trailer]

Published

on

Xbox owners feeling left out over SFB Games’ throwback Survival Horror title Crow Country coming to Steam and PlayStation? Never fear, as the developer has secured an Xbox Series release via the Microsoft Store, which will launch on May 9th as the other platforms. And to celebrate, Xbox owners also get a new trailer announcing Crow Country coming to the platform alongside the PlayStation 5 and PC.

In this brand new horror inspired by classics from the original PlayStation, Crow Country takes place in the year 1990. It’s been two years since the mysterious disappearance of Edward Crow and the abrupt closure of his theme park, the eponymous Crow Country. You are Mara Forest, and you’re searching for some answers from Crow. You’ll need to venture deep into the abandoned Crow Country theme park and uncover the secrets behind its Crow’s sudden disappearance.

Crow Country will see you immerse yourself in a richly atmospheric, deeply sinister world evocative of late 90s pre-rendered graphics. You’ll need to make every bullet count as you manage limited resources and try to survive against the creatures that stalk the eerily tranquil grounds of the amusement park.

Monsters aren’t your only problem, however. Crow Country hides many secrets behind its locked gates, requiring you to overcome the gauntlet of puzzles and challenges that stand between you and the truth. And for those who want to immerse themselves in the atmosphere without having to battle against the inhabitants of the park, there’s the “Exploration Mode”, which switches off the combat to focus entirely on solving the mystery and exploration.

Crow Country will be available for $19.99 USD. You can also check out the demo on Steam.
