Diablo 4 Season 5 is in full swing, but one of its best changes, guaranteed ways to earn greater affix items, wasn’t working properly–until the game’s most recent hotfix, that is.The current season, dubbed Season of the Infernal Hordes, introduced a new endgame activity of the same name that sees players battling against waves of enemies, all the while selecting boons and banes in between waves that modify gameplay. One of the most-lucrative rewards for this activity is the ability to choose a Greater Equipment Chest as a reward: one that houses an item guaranteed to have at least one greater affix.
We have released a new hotfix this morning to address runeshards not dropping in NMDs and the Greater …

Read moreOut of all of the Daredevil cast members, Vincent D’Onofrio never lost faith that the show would return in some form. Next year, D’Onofrio, Charlie Cox, and most of the Daredevil cast will finally be back in Disney+’s Daredevil: Born Again. And if you were expecting the show’s TV-MA violence to be watered on its new home, D’Onofrio indicates that the upcoming series may be even more violent than the original Daredevil.”There are some things in this show that go much further than we did on the original show,” D’Onofrio told Rotten Tomatoes. “There’s one thing in particular that my character does that I can’t believe made it into the cut.”

John Carpenter, noted gamer and part-time horror legend, is returning to Halloween, the iconic slasher he directed (and, perhaps more famously, scored) in 1978, which birthed a landmark horror franchise. This time, however, he’s doing it with a controller in his hands. As revealed today, the director is teaming with Boss Team, the developers of 2022’s Evil Dead game, to bring Halloween to life in the form of not one, but two horror games.Though we don’t know much about either game yet, the studio teased players will be able to “relive moments from the film and play as classic characters from one of the most iconic and important horror films of all time.” The team also revealed that one of the games is being built in Unreal Engine 5, and that it’s in early development.
Few horror movies are as iconic as Hellraiser, and Horror movie fanatics will soon be able to experience the nightmare-inducing series in a whole new way with the Hellraiser: Quartet of Torment, which collects the four original films directed by Clive Barker in 4K HDR. It’s now up for preorder ahead of its October 22 release–though it’s bound to be a hit with fans, so consider reserving a copy while you can.

Read moreAssassin’s Creed Shadows has set a new record for the Ubisoft, as it has had the longest development cycle in the franchise so far. As Onnée explained, the four years of development was ideal for building the game, receiving feedback, and focusing on areas that needed work.”We always want to go better, which is what we’re trying to do with Shadows. We are pushing the limits of what we can do,” Onnée said to Gamesindustry.Biz. “It’s always a balance between time and costs, but the more time you have, the more you can iterate. Yes, you can put more people on a project and do it in a shorter time, but that doesn’t give you more time to iterate, because it takes time to get the feedback from your players, your team, and then see what works and what doesn’t and how to improve it. Four years, …

Possibly driven by cinemagoers looking to experience the source material, Borderlands 3 has seen a moderate increase in users and has reached its highest concurrent Steam player count since February 2023. According to SteamDB, the game recently peaked at 12,379 players, which is a big increase compared to previous months.Borderlands 2 also fared better–7,938 peak Steam players recently–and while they’re nowhere near as high, the original Borderlands and Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel games have also seen increased activity. As mentioned above, this is only for the Steam version of the Borderlands games, so …
