World of Warcraft’s appearance at the Xbox Gamescom stream today was, shall we say, light on new information. So close to The War Within’s release, it was hard to imagine what the team would have to talk about at Gamescom, and what we got was primarily a recap of the game’s known features.

Playing with friends is the World of Warcraft we want — and it’s the Warcraft we get in the new War Within trailer

The first installment of World of Warcraft‘s World Soul saga, The War Within, is on the horizon with early access starting this Thursday August 22 at 3PM pacific time ahead of the August 26 worldwide release at 3PM pacific. A new expansion means new zones to explore and I’m curious to know which one you are most looking forward to exploring in The War Within.

The War Within barely scratches the surface of Blizzard's plans

It's not just the Worldsoul Saga - World of Warcraft lead Chris Metzen says Blizzard is "mapping out" the MMO upwards of patch 17.0

World of Warcraft‘s latest expansion The War Within will take players through the depths of Khaz Algar into the realm of Azj-Kahet where we’ll battle against the machinations of the Harbinger of the Void Xal’atath. While the weapons, armor and jewelry we’ll acquire is the most important source of our stats, you should never overlook enchantments for giving your characters that extra oomph to help take down the enemy.

Bloodborne is one of the most iconic Soulsborne games developed by FromSoftware. It was launched on March 24, 2015, and remains to this day a PS 4 exclusive. It is the only weapon alongside Demon Souls that is a PS exclusive and has not been released on PC. All other Soulslike games like the Dark Souls trilogy and Elden Ring are available on all platforms. However, a new post by PlayStation reveals that this beloved IP might be coming to PS5 as well as potentially to PC.

Games that fall into the soulslike subgenre tend to focus on single-player experiences. Some flirt with multiplayer in the form of PVP and other similar features, but only a few have full-blown multiplayer and co-op. With Black Myth: Wukong taking the community by storm, it’s only natural to ask whether you can share the fun with others in multiplayer.

Blizzard brought the goods at Gamescom this year. Diablo 4 fans didn’t just get treated to a new trailer for the upcoming Vessel of Hatred expansion, focusing on the Mercenaries, we also got to see more of the new Nahantu region, and learn about much of what we can expect when we get our hands on it.

After over a year of people asking for one, Blizzard is finally giving Diablo 4 players with no friends a way to group up

Following the news that Blizzard would introduce a brand-new co-op PvE experience as part of Diablo 4 Vessel of Hatred, the community’s reaction was predictably apprehensive. Most worried that the game’s lack of social features would make this activity a chore for solo players, especially since finding other people to play with is nigh impossible. Recently, however, the dev team revealed they’ll be bringing in a party finder feature to the Diablo 4 expansion to make finding a group much easier.

A reliable leaker has beat the Epic Games Store to revealing not just this week's free game giveaway, but also one that will not start until the end of August. In recent weeks, it seemed that @billbil_kun had stepped back from leaking details about the Epic Games Store's future free game giveaways. However, that changed last week when they outlined $80 worth of free content headed the way of Epic Games account holders, full details of which we have covered separately.

The original Hollow Knight was first released in 2017 and was immediately recognized as one of the most impressive entries in the Metroidvania genre, indie or not.
