Diablo Immortal is gearing up to unleash its next new class, and it's a franchise staple that the mobile game aims to make its own. Diablo Immortal's Druid hails from the isolated Druid folk from the Sharval Wilds; these Druids are more "wild" and "feral" than their counterparts seen throughout the franchise, and this is exemplified in gameplay.

Riftbound is Riot Games' upcoming League of Legends physical trading card game, launching this fall with nearly 300 cards and a dozen playstyle-defining champions to pilot. Contrasting with some well-known TCGs, Riftbound isn't a deathmatch between opponents—instead, it's a race to score points by maintaining control of Battlefield cards. This race format paves the way for engaging multiplayer matches where nobody is eliminated until a winner is declared.

While its gameplay enjoyed a fairly positive reception, Mecha BREAK was met with a fair helping of constructive feedback from its open beta players. Chiefly, there was a concern that Striker mods gave players an unfair competitive advantage; other comments called for easier access to the game's systems or a reduction in the grind to unlock additional Strikers.
