Gearbox has finally revealed the release date for the upcoming Borderlands 3 limited-time event, Bloody Harvest. The Halloween-themed event will go live on October 24, and there’s a new trailer to celebrate the announcement.

Every IGN WWE Game Review
Do you smell what IGN is cookin'?
It's actually our review for WWE 2K20, the code for which we received late this year.

I'll have the review up as soon as I'm humanly able, but in the meantime, check out what IGN critics have thought of all of the WWE games throughout the years, from the storied Smackdown vs Raw series, to the current WWE 2K series, and everything before and in between.
Original Assassin’s Creed Director Apologizes for Towers
Patrice Désilet, the director of the first two Assassin’s Creed games, has jokingly apologized for introducing the much-mocked tower climbing mechanic to video games.
Talking at EGLX in Toronto, Désilet answered a question that asked if he was happy with being known as the “Assassin’s Creed guy”.
“A little bit! If you’re going to spend years on something I hope that happens,” he answered, reports Destructoid. “Breath of the Wild, wow! That was a game where you could do anything, once you finished the first half hour or so. Now, you’re going to just climb towers and unfog the rest of the map. Sorry – it’s my fault!”

How Marvel’s Avengers’ Gear Works
A big part of Marvel’s Avengers will be gear; it is a game with several Destiny vibes, afterall. So far, though, developer Crystal Dynamics has been coy with the details. Eager to learn a little more, IGN attended EGX 2019 in London, where Virgin Media held the UK’s first play of Marvel’s Avengers. There we were able to chat with Crystal Dynamics co-studio head Scot Amos about gear and character appearances.
Take a look at how Ms. Marvel works in the latest Avengers trailer below.
“Gear comes in all kinds of rarities, from common, uncommon, rare, epic, legendary, and even beyond,” Amos explains (We're placing bets now that ‘beyond’ is Excelsior rarity).

A Blizzard advertisement in the latest issue of German magazine GameStar has seemingly leaked the existence of Diablo 4.
A full-page advert on page 27 of the latest issue of GameStar features a segment for the upcoming The Art of Diablo hardback book, which is due for release in November. The description of the book reads: “Featuring over 500 artworks from Diablo, Diablo II, Diablo III and Diablo IV, this book features many noteworthy artworks created for Blizzard Entertainment’s iconic action RPG.”
Check out what we thought of Diablo Immortal, the mobile game revealed at BlizzCon 2018.

The article explains that the magazine will be available to purchase from October 23. As of writing, Diablo IV has not been officially announced, and it seems unlikely it will within the next two days.
