Diablo 4 fans believe Blizzard has leaked the action RPG’s next class via an internal build name. Wowhead reported that the Paladin class, perhaps the most-requested by fans since Diablo 4’s June 2023 release, is coming soon, potentially even as part of Season 11. That’s because the word Paladin was found in the name of a build uploaded to Blizzard’s servers (2.5.Xpaladin67961). The Paladin is one of the most popular classes from Diablo 2, so its arrival in Diablo 4, should it happen, would be celebrated by the game's community. Now, this may be nothing (and Diablo 4 fans are already joking that the Paladin will be added as a Mercenary rather than a new class), but a new class is expected from Diablo 4’s second expansion, and the Paladin would certainly be a crowd-pleaser. As Blizzard confirmed earlier this year, Diablo 4’s next expansion was pushed out of 2025 and into 2026 . The game’s first expansion, Vessel of Hatred, added the Spiritborn class. A Diablo 4 roadmap imag...

McDonald's has announced fresh restrictions aimed at combating scalpers, as it launches the next wave of its enormously popular Pokémon promotion in Japan. Last weekend, the fast food chain was swamped by scalpers who bought up dozens of Happy Meals just for the exclusive Pokémon cards within them . Photos and videos posted to social media by outraged fans highlighted arguments among patrons over the scalping, and showed examples of huge food wastage, with the Happy Meals dumped by the side of the road or left in the restaurant uneaten. The incident meant McDonald's ran out of its cards within hours of its three-day promotion going live, forcing the burger brand to apologise to Pokémon fans left empty-handed. And now, McDonald's has gone further — with new rules regarding the availability of Pokémon merchandise in Happy Meals applied from today. "We deeply apologize to our customers who regularly use McDonald's restaurants, as well as to our store staff and m...

Let’s be real, Magic: The Gathering is complicated. I've been playing it for decades, but knowing how or where to start is intimidating if you haven't – until last year, when a product called the Foundations Beginner Box finally provided the excellent starting point paper Magic has needed. Now, with a brand new Beginner Box themed around the game’s upcoming crossover with Avatar: The Last Airbender just a few months away, that inviting front door is being opened up to an even wider audience. Ahead of the Avatar set’s first look earlier this week, Wizards of the Coast sent me the Avatar Beginner Box to open up and try out for myself. It’s been every bit the flavorful introduction I hoped it would be, full of fun references to the cartoon show and simple but still mechanically interesting cards to ease newcomers in. And with over 100 brand new cards, some of which are unique to this product while others are from the main set, we have a massive amount of spoilers to show off...

The in-game descriptions for each mode will tell you which modes are included in the rotation. “Rotating through multiple modes within playlists helps us understand what our community enjoys as we shape the launch experience, and e...

The collaborative relationship between LEGO and Nintendo, two world leaders in family-friendly entertainment that operate in the adjacent realms of toys and games, began with the 1999 release of LEGO Racers on N64. At least one LEGO game has been released on a Nintendo platform nearly every year since, and multiple Nintendo-themed LEGO sets have been released each year since they debuted in 2020. The LEGO-Nintendo synergy has persisted through the Switch era, and with the Switch 2 now out in the wild, we’re looking back on the legacy of LEGO on the Switch. How Many LEGO Games Are There on Nintendo Switch? As of January 2025, 17 LEGO games have been released on Switch , from LEGO Undercover City in 2017 to the PlayStation collaboration LEGO Horizon Adventures in 2024. Of the 17 games, seven are LEGO originals and 10 are licensed collaborations with other intellectual properties. As of right now, there are two more LEGO games slated to release in 2025.
