Diablo 4 is starting to feel like it’s missing something this season, and today we’re breaking down why. We talk about the Gift of the Tree event, the loss of Sanctification, how Lord of Hatred looks set to bring back that exciting chase through the Horadric Cube, and why Strongholds and activity keys are becoming more of a chore than compelling content. We also cover Last Epoch Season 4, Titan Quest 2’s upcoming summon update, Epic’s massive layoffs and what they may signal for the wider AAA industry, plus two upcoming sci-fi games drawing comparisons to Mass Effect: The Expanse: Osiris Reborn and Star Wars Company Zero.
