Diablo 5 unveiled as a caravan-driven, story-forward leap beyond Diablo 4

Blizzard revealed Diablo 5 at BlizzCon 2026, set a century after Diablo 4 in a ruined Sanctuary, featuring a roaming caravan hub with companion vendors who offer side quests, a new Plague Knight class alongside returning Diablo 3 classes, and a Diablo 2–inspired item system (runes, runewords, belts, gear tiers) with more involved loot management. The world and dungeons are procedurally generated, combat is described as more visceral, and the multiplayer model remains unclear. The game is slated for spring 2029, with a Netflix series in development and hints that Blizzard may shift focus away from further Diablo 4 expansions until 5 releases.

Control Resonant Expands Remedy’s Weird World Into a City‑Scale Hack‑and‑Slash

Remedy’s Control Resonant shifts from the eerie Oldest House to a fractured, Hiss-haunted Manhattan and pivots from Control’s shooter roots to a third‑person hack‑and‑slash action RPG starring Dylan Faden. The Aberrant weapon lets him switch forms (including a Bloodborne‑like saw cleaver and a scythe), with early gameplay emphasizing fluid combos, new powers, and expanding skill trees, all while the Remedy Connected Universe hints at bigger mysteries (Polaris, the Former). The preview praises the combat feel and the game’s confident world‑building, suggesting Resonant could be a bold, more conventional entry that still preserves its signature weirdness.
