VGamingNews Headlines 6th April 2021
We hope everyone had a lovely Easter holiday and managed to make use of the extra days off to eat chocolate and play video games. If you had to work, we hope that you weren’t too rushed. As there has been a long weekend, the video game announcements are a little on the light side, but we do have a few new games that are worth keeping an eye on.
Diablo II Resurrected Gets PC Test This Week
Activision Blizzard recently announced they were bringing an enhanced version of Diablo II: Resurrected back to PC & Consoles this year. Well, from 15.00 this Friday (9th April) until Monday 12th April at 18.00, PC players will be able to take part in a Single-player Technical Alpha. Players will be able to taste the HD demon hunting as well as giving feedback on how the build of the game is coming along.
Three of the seven classes will be able and there will be no level caps as you play through the entirety of the first two Acts of the game, although as this is an Alpha test, it’s unlikely your progress will move to the full game when Diablo II: Resurrected launches later in the year.
New Game – The Lightbringer Announced For Steam & Nintendo Switch
Described as a puzzle-platformer, The Lightbringer is coming to Nintendo Switch and Steam in 2021. Zordix Publishing and developer Rock Square Thunder are teaming up to bring a heartfelt story of a man following the path travelled by his older sister in order to restore the world from an imposing tar like substance known as ‘the corruption’.
The Lightbringer looks like a charming indie title where you traverse compact levels looking to collect objects in order to progress. From the trailer it looks like there is still work to be done, however our initial impressions is that the game looks to be in a similar vein of Oceanhorn. That alone has our interest piqued. We’ll be keeping an eye on how The Lightbringer shapes up when it’s released later in the year.
