Diablo Immortal

There was a certain amount of hype surrounding this year’s BlizzCon 2018 with Diablo since Blizzard had announced they had been working on “multiple projects” and the schedule included a Diablo focused event.

Wyatt Cheng the Principle Designer of Immortal who presented and helped field questions replied with an answer fans were not hoping for: “The current plan is mobile…we don’t have any plans at the moment to do PC.”

Nomura responded saying that he was “concentrating on Kingdom Hearts III, but when that’s finished, VII will be where I head next,”.
He also mentioned that he was “considering various developments in regards to what accompanies the remake” including the “Compilation titles”.

Fallout 76

A recent thread had caught the eye of Bethesda concerning Fallout 76 PC hacks, while they attest that most are untrue, there are a few that aren’t.
A user by the name of teetharejustdone shared a list of several issues with Fallout 76 on the subreddit. These concerns included unencrypted client to client communications, this allows players the ability to view other gamer’s in-game stats and IP addresses. This also led to other exposures such as Fallout 76 can be modded by players and innovations that have now appeared on Nexus Mods, which give players an upper-hand. These mods have now been put under moderation by the site.
Bethesda response was: “Many of the claims in the thread are either inaccurate or based on incorrect assumptions. The community has however called to attention several issues that our teams are already actively tracking and planning to roll out fixes for.”
It is currently unknown which of these claimed in the thread are true, as Bethesda at this point have not mentioned. Hopefully any major fixes will be all in order before the official launch in about a week’s time.
