But it goes even further than that, bringing in entirely new ways to upgrade items, a revamp of the World Tiers,...

Screenshot: Blizzard / Kotaku It’s time, once again, for The Wanderer to suit up and go dungeon crawling. This time, in the new Vessel of Hatred expansion for Diablo IV, you’re in pursuit of poor, tormented Neyrelle in the Hate-ridden lands of Nahantu. Much as I’d like to tell you that there’s a nice handy little pamphlet titled, “So, You Just Sent An Innocent One-Armed Girl Into The Heart Of A Jungle Full Of Demons,”...

While the genre dominated 3D gaming’s earlier years, interest in it dwindled over the years, even if it’s had a bit of a comeback on the indie...

The co-creator of RuneScape’s next MMO, Brighter Shores, has caught a delay of exactly one day because there’s some election coming up, apparently. Hey, did you know that there’s an election coming up in the US? You might have missed that fact, it’s not like it’s been all over the news no matter where you’re from for months on end even though you don’t even live in the US, but hey, it’s the...

Sorry to say it, My Hero Academia fans, but your favourite anime is soon coming to an end, as the final season has been announced. It was only just in August that the My Hero Academia manga ended its 10 year run, but just yesterday it was confirmed that the anime will be coming to an end too. Season seven has been airing over the past few months, with the 21st and final...

This is a post that I’ve known was coming for quite some time, but that doesn’t make it any easier to write. After more than 16 years TouchArcade will be closing its doors and shutting down operations. There may be an additional post here or there in the coming weeks as we try to honor any previously agreed to obligations, and a proper farewell post is in the works too, but as of now our...
