Title: Diablo 4: Lord of Hatred review - A compelling conclusion delivered with a panache that proves Blizzard still got it Date: Tue, 21 Apr 2026 16:00:00 +0000 Link: https://www.vg247.com/diablo-4-lord-of-hatred-expansion-review Diablo 4: Lord of Hatred has, without question, been one of my most anticipated releases of 2026. Diablo 4 is likely my most played game ever by sheer hour count, so it’s easy to see why this expansion is so high up on my list. However many rakes Blizzard has stepped on over the course of the game’s live service, however many seasons or events it botched, I maintain that no other ARPG matches Diablo 4 in either game feel or production value.

Title: Vampire Crawlers - All Relics And Where To Get Them Date: Tue, 21 Apr 2026 09:00:00 -0700 Link: https://www.gamespot.com/articles/vampire-crawlers-all-relics-and-where-to-get-them/1100-6539334/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f Vampire Crawlers sends you into a variety of dungeons to build a deck of cards and whoop up on some enemies, often unlocking cool new features and abilities in the process. This gameplay loop ensures you're always making some type of progress and working towards revealing some of the game's most important items and mechanics, such as relics--which we're going to dive into below.Relics essentially function as gameplay features that can be toggled off or on. They provide some of Vampire Crawler's most game-changing mechanics, such as the ability to add gems to cards, see enemy positions on the map, or speed up the gameplay. As such, tracking these down throughout the game should be one of your highest priorities. Luckily, they're all easily discovered within specific levels, ensuring that you'll almost certainly obtain them during your journey.Below, we've compiled every Vampire Crawlers relic and the information you need to know about them. When you're ready to dive in and check them all out, read on.Continue Reading at GameSpot

Title: Vampire Crawlers - All Weapon Evolutions Date: Tue, 21 Apr 2026 09:00:00 -0700 Link: https://www.gamespot.com/articles/vampire-crawlers-all-weapon-evolutions/1100-6539333/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f Vampire Crawlers may opt for old-school dungeon crawling rather than isometric battling like its predecessor, but this spin-off maintains the first game's massive selection of weapons and evolutions. Creating evolutions is done in largely the same way: combining items when interacting with a chest. This time, though, you'll be given multiple choices when opening a chest, letting you decide which of your potential evolutions you want to create--or whether you'd like to create one at all.Getting evolutions requires some trial and error without a guide since there are so many potential combinations. There's also a bit of luck involved, as you can't be guaranteed you'll get the cards you need for evolutions. Sadly, we can't make those cards magically appear for you, but we have compiled all of the Vampire Crawler weapon evolutions to make things a bit easier to plan for you.All weapon evolutions in Vampire CrawlersHere are all the current weapon evolutions in the game. Additional evolutions are likely to be added in future updates.Continue Reading at GameSpot

Title: Vampire Crawlers Beginner's Tips Date: Tue, 21 Apr 2026 09:00:00 -0700 Link: https://www.gamespot.com/gallery/vampire-crawlers-beginners-tips/2900-7664/ Vampire Crawlers offers that same "one more game" fun of its predecessor, and even uses a majority of the same characters, levels, and mechanics that fans have come to know and love. However, this turn-based dungeon crawler is a totally different type of experience from Vampire Survivors' isometric action, so there are some unique features here that might trip up both new and returning players. Below, we've detailed a selection of tips for the opening hours of the game that we feel will help you make progress and adapt to the different types of strategy Vampire Crawlers requires. Upgrade Greed and Might ASAPWith such limited gold available early in your adventure, it's reasonable to feel a bit uncertain of where to put your upgrade points. While there's not necessarily a wrong answer, the most efficient route is to prioritize Greed as soon as it's unlocked. This will increase your coin acquisition by 25% per rank, so getting it to a minimum of Rank 2 or 3 will dramatically improve how quickly you can afford additional upgrades throughout the remainder of the game.Also, make sure you're getting points into Might very early. At least a couple of ranks in this upgrade will make a significant impact on how much damage you do. While other upgrades like Max Health can be important, too, you'll have options for dealing with mitigating incoming damage through armor and cards like Pummarola, so dishing out more pain to your foes is usually going to be a better bet.And don't forget that you can reset your points at any time, so you should always feel free to move them around to different upgrades based on your current goals. Combo, combo, comboDuring the tutorial, you'll unlock the Combo Stack relic, which will allow you to improve the power of cards when played in ascending mana cost order. While the game provides a little blurb about how this works, it's easy to overlook it or forget how important this is in future encounters.Basically, playing your cards in ascending order of how much mana they cost will allow you to power up the following card. For example, if you play a 0-cost card, you'll immediately notice that any 1-cost cards in your hand will glow and receive improved stats for the next move. Then, if you play that 1-cost card, any 2-cost cards will receive improved stats, and so forth.This doesn't just apply to damage, either. Comboing into a Pummarola card, for instance, can provide a huge boon to how much healing you receive from it. You can even combo into a one-time use card like Hollow Hearts to get a boost to how much max health it grants you. This adds a lot of depth to building your character during a run, so take your time and plan your moves to get the most out of them, especially on lower levels when the challenge ramps up. Bang into every light sourceAs you explore the map, you'll commonly spot lit braziers, candles, and other light sources. Make sure you always bang into these, as they'll frequently drop coins, one-time use cards, or consumable chicken that can be used to heal you a bit (more on that below).After you find the Guiding Light relic in the Inlaid Library (only a few hours in at most), you'll be able to spot light sources on your map in each dungeon, making it much easier to track which ones you've already given a smack to. Don't leave any behind! Save your chickens for when you really need themSmacking all those light sources will sometimes reveal chickens you can eat to restore a small bit of health. These can make or break a run if consumed at the right time, so you don't want to accidentally use them when they're not needed.Unless you're extremely low on health and might easily die in an upcoming battle, it's best to leave your chickens until you've cleared most of the map. This is because you'll often have Pummarola cards or other healing methods that will top you off for regular battles. You don't want to waste the chicken if other healing methods are currently available, in other words.In many cases, it's best to save the chicken for after you've beaten a boss (before shoveling down to the next level), giving you a small boost to your health right before heading into the next phase of the dungeon. Use the Sharp Mind Arcana cardYour playstyle will certainly evolve as you reach the later parts of the game and decide what really works best for how you like to tackle things, but during the early hours, there's no Arcana with a better modifier than Sharp Mind. This Arcana allows any unused mana in a turn to carry over to the next turn.Most characters will start with a pretty low mana pool, often even making it impossible to use 3-cost cards until you've found some mana capacity upgrades in a run or get lucky and draw a Tome card in the same turn. With Sharp Mind equipped, you'll be able to stockpile mana more easily by skipping the use of any unnecessary cards in a turn to prepare for the following turn. Combined with the aforementioned capacity upgrades and proper use of Tomes, you can eventually end up with a staggering amount of mana in a turn, allowing you to unleash devastation on your foes. Grind previous levels for goldDungeons in Vampire Crawlers get progressively harder, so it will be extremely challenging (if not impossible) to pass some of them without investing in more upgrades back in the village. During the first few hours, make a habit of running some of them multiple times with a heavy focus on coin acquisition so that you can start getting more powerful.You can combine these coin runs with leveling a new character or trying to unlock a new evolution. Check the Unlocks menu to see what you should be working toward, as you may be surprised at how often you can make some pretty significant headway on your overall game progress even while simply grinding older levels. Sometimes, it's best to just cash outWhen you open chests or interact with certain other upgrade stations, you'll be prompted to choose from a list of gems or evolutions. It's often a good idea to take one of these if they really match your build, but that won't always be the case. Instead, note an option on the lower right that says "Cash Out."Cashing out allows you to pass on the gems or evolution and take some coins as a replacement. Doing this, especially while you're still trying to save up for some of the most important upgrades, can be the best option. This is especially true if you're already near the end of a run and feel very confident with your build, as there's no reason to throw away the option to earn some extra coins for a minor upgrade that will disappear at the end of the dungeon anyway. Check the Grim Grimoire for reminders on evolution combinationsEvolving your weapon cards by combining two specific cards will turn them into a vastly improved version capable of dealing more damage and often adding some additional bonuses. However, with so many cards to keep up with, it can be easy to forget which cards combine to create which evolution.Once you can visit the Library West Wing fairly early on, however, you'll be able to quickly obtain the Grim Grimoire relic. Having this unlocked and activated will let you pause the game and access the Grim Grimoire option at the bottom of the screen. Here, you can see a list of all evolution combinations, including those you haven't discovered yet.

Title: Splatoon Raiders Amiibos Combined Cost More Than The Game Itself Date: Tue, 21 Apr 2026 08:33:00 -0700 Link: https://www.gamespot.com/articles/splatoon-raiders-amiibos-combined-cost-more-than-the-game-itself/1100-6539521/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f In just over two months, Splatoon Raiders hopes to make a splash on Switch 2. Nintendo just revealed the release date for the spin-off game--July 23--as well as a more budget-friendly $50 price tag digitally. But if you want all three Amiibos launching alongside the game, be prepared to shell out more cash than for the game itself.Each Amiibo will cost $25, combined equaling $75 for the Deep Cut trio. Obviously, no one is forcing you to purchase all of them. Big Man, Shiver, and Frye are up for preorder on Nintendo's website, though no details are offered yet about their functionality with Splatoon Raiders.Each Amiibo of the Deep Cut trio costs $25, meaning it's $75 for all three. The official Splatoon account on X did unveil that the three Amiibos can be connected together at their bases. It's a cool detail, as Deep Cut's poses work individually or collectively. On top of that, Splatoon Raiders will be one of the first Switch 2 games utilizing tiered pricing between digital and physical. While $50 on the eShop, the title will cost $60 for a boxed copy. That's still cheaper than the trio of Amiibos, though.Continue Reading at GameSpot

Title: You don't need to be a Dropout fan to love Izzy Roland's D(e)ad Date: Tue, 21 Apr 2026 16:40:40 GMT Link: https://www.polygon.com/dead-izzy-roland-film-kickstarter/ Brought to life via a 2024 Kickstarter campaign, the indie supernatural drama D(e)ad stars several alumni from the comedy streaming service Dropout TV. Comedian and actor Isabella Roland wrote the script and stars in the film, alongside Vic Michaelis, Zac Oyama, and Dimension 20 creator Brennan Lee Mulligan, the current Critical Role dungeon master. With a cast and crew like that, it's an ideal film for Dropout fans. But I’d go as far as to say you’ll enjoy this dark-comedy romp far more if you haven’t spent hours consuming Dropout content.

Title: Tides of Tomorrow review: the best anti-social social game you've ever played Date: Tue, 21 Apr 2026 16:15:18 GMT Link: https://www.polygon.com/tides-of-tomorrow-review/ I never thought I'd play a game that would prompt me to "choose a real-life player to stalk," but here we are. Tides of Tomorrow is an apocalyptic, narrative-driven adventure game with a unique twist: the story is shaped by its players. No, not in the usual "my actions influence the outcome" sense, but in the "my actions can royally fuck things up for the next player" sense.

Title: Diablo 4 Lord of Hatred review: a great story impedes the grind Date: Tue, 21 Apr 2026 16:00:18 GMT Link: https://www.polygon.com/diablo-4-lord-of-hatred-review/ In Diablo 3, Blizzard's cinematic storytelling instincts took over, leaving the player feeling trapped in its propulsive but linear staging. So the Reaper of Souls expansion opened up Adventure Mode, which remixed all the game's elements into a carnivalesque grinding playground. It really worked, but it turned the campaign that had been built as the game's bedrock into an afterthought.

Title: Xbox Game Pass gets big price cut and loses a major perk Date: Tue, 21 Apr 2026 16:00:18 GMT Link: https://www.polygon.com/xbox-game-pass-ultimate-price-cut-call-of-duty/ Following a leaked memo from Xbox CEO Asha Sharma, Microsoft is officially lowering the price of Game Pass, its signature subscription service. Starting today, the top-tier Game Pass Ultimate subscription costs $22.99, down from $29.99. The PC-specific version of Game Pass now costs $13.99, a few dollars less than its previous price tag of $16.49. The catch is what is included in these tiers and when.

Title: Helldivers 2: The Exo Experts Warbond drops April 28 Date: Tue, 21 Apr 2026 13:00:15 +0000 Link: https://blog.playstation.com/2026/04/21/helldivers-2-the-exo-experts-warbond-drops-april-28/ The latest Helldivers 2 Warbond, entitled The Exo Experts, launches April 28. Read on for full intel on what to expect.  Play Video Machines… Our enemies… But they can also be forces for good, tools at our disposal, and when you need to fight fire with fire it is important to be an Exo Expert.   ​​  The Ministry of Defense has authorised the immediate mobilisation of new Exosuits to aid in our ongoing war efforts against the enemies of Managed Democracy.   Weapons and Stratagems Let’s start where all good Warbonds start, with the latest offensive items included in the Exo Experts*. Beginning with EXO-51 Lumberer, a modern reinvention of the Lumberers of the first Galactic War, this Exosuit is equipped with an anti-tank cannon and a flamethrower allowing you to unleash maximum devastation upon your foes and then purge smaller enemies in the flames of Liberty.  Next up, we have the EXO-55 Breakthrough. Brandishing a flak cannon and a ballistics shield, allowing you to face off with Super Earth’s toughest foes whilst laying down heavy fire.  For those who don’t like to overburden themselves, we are introducing the MGX-42 Bullet Storm: a disposable machine gun sporting caseless ammunition in multiple barrels. Each usage includes two of these so you can throw them away when you are done.  Not forgetting our ground troops! We have the SMG-203 Gallant, a submachine gun with a high rate of fire, this is the MP-98 Knight’s older brother, sacrificing clip size for increased penetration. Finally to round out your kit, try the new P-33 Missile Pistol utilising the latest in guided, heat-propelled rounds and a lock-on feature. Proven to hit its target 60% of the time, every time.  View and download image Download the image close Close Download this image Armors and Capes To ensure you remain compliant with safety regulations, make sure you have these new armors. The O-2 Heavy Operator armor is the state mandated uniform for Super Earth Citizens who must operate heavy machinery and is best paired with the Watchful Compatriot cape, which sports a retro print that was first made popular in GW1 cereal merchandising. It helps citizens to remember that not all machines are twisted mechano-socialists; some are piloted by true-hearted humans and we can all rest easy in their gaze. The O-3 Free Spirit armor comes equipped with SteerComfort, this armor that allows the wearer to feel every curve, bump, and jostle of their Exosuit, as if they were drifting into one single being.The Free Spirited Spangles cape pays tribute to the mischief-makers and mavericks, those trailblazers who dutifully execute their orders with universally-endearing panache. The star-crossed trail calls to mind the special kind of Freedom that can only be achieved by going very fast in very expensive state-owned vehicles. These new armors come stock standard with the Oxygenator perk allowing you to walk, run and slide slightly quicker (within Super Earth Health and Safety guidelines). To ensure others know you are up to the job, you can also equip the new Exosuit Certified title and make sure to let them know how you feel with the Thumb of Approval emote and victory pose  This Warbond also includes the Mobile White patterns. Prepare to become an Exo Expert on April 28!   *Warbond requires base game, Super Credits, and game progression to unlock.

Title: Ball x Pit: Shadow Update arrives April 27 Date: Mon, 20 Apr 2026 16:00:22 +0000 Link: https://blog.playstation.com/2026/04/20/ball-x-pit-shadow-update-arrives-april-27/ Hey everyone, last time you heard from us was back in January where we shared some fun facts about Ball x Pit’s game concept, its inspiration, and pretty much all the brand new content that we packed into the first free major update titled The Regal Update. The incredible PlayStation Blog team wanted us back to share first details with you on the second free content update coming to Ball x Pit titled The Shadow Update, which releases in just one week on April 27 for PS5. Play Video Time starts to bend in this update, with some new ball evolutions that freeze it and warp it entirely. Expect your runs to get a little more chaotic as we introduce some new balls, passives, and characters alongside the addition of a new building all detailed below! Two new characters The Tunneller is a scrappy miner whose shots don’t stop at the edge; they wrap around the screen and come back in from the other side, making just about every angle fair game. The Tiptoer is a fragile but deadly ninja who stays undetected by enemies at close range at the cost of lower health and damage. 11 New Balls Venom stacks up with each hit, slowing targets and chipping away at them until enough buildup finally locks them in place with paralysis. Time leans into area control, dropping a timesnare that freezes enemies caught in its range. Erosion cuts straight through foes, with each hit shaving off a percentage of their current health, making it incredibly nasty against tougher targets. Time Bomb adds a bit of delayed chaos, planting an explosive that goes off after a short wait. Timestop does exactly what it sounds like, freezing absolutely everything on the field for a few seconds before going on cooldown. Warp keeps things unpredictable, blinking to a random spot on the field upon every enemy hit while ramping up speed as it goes. Sniper shots cut straight through enemies but burn out the moment they hit a wall or loop back, trading longevity for a boosted critical chance that rewards precise enemy line ups. Heart Swallower gives each hit a certain chance to drain a bit of life and heal you for one while also weakening the target’s attack by a percentage, but remember each enemy can only be drained once. Plus a few more that we won’t spoil just yet.. Four new passives Full Metal Rapier thrives on chaos with each ball scaling its damage based on how many baby balls and enemies are currently on the field. Arrow of Fate flips defense into offense, making you immune to incoming projectiles and firing back a burst of baby balls whenever you’re hit. Argent Stopwatch plays with momentum, starting balls off at 150% damage before shaving off 30% with every bounce, so timing and positioning matter more than ever. Sword Breaker keeps things steady but scalable, lowering base damage to 75% while quietly stacking an extra 1% for every enemy in play. 1 new buildings Better start thinking of a spot to drop the Guildhall! This new building will allow players to re-roll previously chosen character upgrades. Thank you again to all players supporting and for making Ball x Pit what it is! We hope you’re excited to jump back into the pit when Ball x Pit : The Shadow Update releases for free next week, April 27 on PS5.

Title: Infinity Nikki Version 2.5 launches April 23 Date: Mon, 20 Apr 2026 14:00:02 +0000 Link: https://blog.playstation.com/2026/04/20/infinity-nikki-version-2-5-launches-april-23/ Infinity Nikki Version 2.5, launching April 23, expands the adventure on PlayStation 5, with visual upgrades and a more seamless photo experience. This update introduces the Boneyard—a brand-new region with a deeper, more mature tone—while also enhancing performance and image quality, especially on PlayStation 5 Pro with updated PSSR support. Sharper visuals and smoother performance on PS5 Pro With Version 2.5, we’ve focused on improving visual clarity and overall gameplay stability. On PlayStation 5 Pro, updated PSSR enhances image sharpness, visual clarity, and frame-rate stability, with improvements most noticeable in large areas or during combat. We’ve also enhanced environmental detail, lighting, and long-distance rendering. Outfit materials—especially layered fabrics and textures—now appear more defined, making styling moments feel even more rewarding up close. A more seamless photo experience We know many players enjoy capturing their favorite looks and moments, so we’ve made the photography experience easier. Screenshots can now be saved to the PlayStation system gallery, removing extra steps between taking a photo and sharing it. Whether you’re documenting an outfit, a location, or a story moment, it’s now quicker to capture and revisit them anytime. A new region: the Boneyard Version 2.5 introduces the Boneyard, a new open-world region centered on themes of reincarnation, destiny, and choice. It’s a quieter, more atmospheric region, with environments shaped by dragon bones, ruins, and lingering mysteries. As you explore, more of its story unfolds through the world itself. With the visual improvements on PlayStation 5 Pro, this region feels even more immersive—especially when moving through its expansive spaces or taking in distant views. Outfit abilities play a bigger role in exploration We’ve continued expanding how Ability Outfits interact with the world. New additions, such as a new Archery Ability Outfit, offer greater flexibility in movement and interaction. At the same time, other abilities—like Dragonbone-related mechanics—are more deeply integrated into the environment and its challenges. These updates bring exploration and ability choices closer together. Infinity Nikki Version 2.5 will be available for free starting April 23 PT / April 24 CEST on PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 5 Pro. We hope you enjoy exploring the Boneyard and discovering all it has to offer.

Title: NTE: Neverness to Everness out April 29, new gameplay details revealed Date: Mon, 20 Apr 2026 13:00:07 +0000 Link: https://blog.playstation.com/2026/04/20/nte-neverness-to-everness-out-april-29-new-gameplay-details-revealed/ NTE: Neverness to Everness is a supernatural urban open-world game coming to PS5 April 29. You will step into the shoes of an Appraiser, embarking on an extraordinary supernatural adventure in the bustling metropolis of Hethereau. Today, we’re detailing the game’s PS5 Pro enhancements, revealing new modes and a first person perspective option. But first, we want to talk about two exciting collaborations coming to the game.  Iconic collaborations: Persona 5 and Porsche  The heartbeat of any great city is its music. We wanted driving through Hethereau to feel unforgettable, which is why NTE’s in-car radio features an iconic lineup of legendary Persona 5 tracks and fan-favorite Tower of Fantasy anthems. Better yet, the new Walkman feature lets you pull those same beats from the dashboard and carry them with you as you explore the neon-lit streets. These Persona 5 tracks will be available in-game from launch.  Play Video But true urban style isn’t just the perfect soundtrack—it’s your unique way of cruising the streets. Through our collaboration with Porsche, players will get behind the wheel of iconic Porsche models, staging a resonance of speed and luxury in the supernatural metropolis. This collaboration brings the ultimate high-performance luxury experience to every NTE player. The Porsche collaboration will be available as part of a future game update.  ​​ Deeper immersion: Co-living and first-person dates We want you to feel like a resident, not just a visitor. That’s why we’re introducing a first-person perspective option. The moment you switch over, everything changes, from the way you view towering skyscrapers to the intimate details of your apartment. Speaking of intimacy, our Hangout and Move-In Systems allow you to bring the story home:  Hangout: Invite your favorite companions to ride along as you cruise through the neon-lit streets. Move-In Invites: From luxury penthouses to hillside villas, choose your dream home and share your daily life with your favorite characters. Define your life: The City Tycoon system In NTE, the city isn’t just a backdrop for combat. It’s a living, breathing stage for your own story. We believe that a true urban open world should offer total freedom, letting you be more than just an anomaly hunter. Build your own business empire. Run storefronts, stack assets, fill your garage with supercars, and earn your title as a true City Tycoon. For a more grounded experience, spend a lazy afternoon driving a Swift Cab for extra cash, or pick up a few Sterry Express delivery runs to get a taste of the everyday hustle. When the neon starts to wear on you, grab a rod and find a secluded spot for a bit of fishing. It’s the perfect change of pace. And for those who thrive on social energy and high stakes, you can challenge your friends to adrenaline-fueled street races or test your wits in a tense round of online Mahjong, where every tile could turn the tide. New stages: Bank Heist & Asymmetric Horror We are pushing the boundaries of what co-op stages can be with two radically different experiences: one built to test your strategy, the other designed to break your nerves.  Pink Paws Heist delivers the fast-paced, high-stakes cooperative experience players have been asking for. Designed for squads of one-to-four players, this isn’t just about clearing waves of enemies. Success hinges on precise coordination between teammates.Every second counts. You have a strict time window to infiltrate the vault, secure loot, and extract. With the clock ticking and waves of anomalies closing in, the pressure never lets up.  In sharp contrast to the Heist’s all-out intensity, Coldmount Hospital is a descent into asymmetrical psychological horror. Here, we trade speed for atmosphere and raw power for investigative instinct. You are being hunted. A powerful entity stalks the hospital’s decaying corridors, and going in head-on is a death sentence. You must master the art of hiding, using the environment to break line of sight and stay silent. PlayStation 5 features NTE fully harnesses the power of PS5 to deliver a supernatural visual feast. Enjoy stunning 4K resolution with stable frame rates and seamless map loading for a truly fluid open-world experience. From dynamic weather systems to dazzling supernatural anomaly effects, every detail is designed for total immersion. DualSense wireless controller features: Haptic feedback: Feel the weight of every combat strike and the intensity of key story moments through precision vibrations. Adaptive triggers: Experience the physical resistance of braking and the surge of acceleration as you drive through the city. Light bar effects: We’ve integrated unique light bar effects for specific characters… we’ll let you discover those for yourself at launch. Enhanced for PS5 Pro For players on PS5 Pro, NTE supports the latest PSSR technology. Leveraging the PS5 Pro’s enhanced GPU, the game utilizes higher internal rendering resolutions and adds advanced effects like volumetric fog and Distance Field Ambient Occlusion. PSSR2 ensures a shimmering-free, stable 4K output at a silky-smooth 60Hz, providing the ultimate urban exploration experience. NTE: Neverness to Everness launches on PS5 April 29.
