Diablo 3 on Switch May Have Outed an Unannounced Amiibo
Diablo 3: Eternal Collection on Nintendo Switch reveals a currently unannounced amiibo early in a tutorial pop-up.
Early in the game, a "Use Amiibo" prompt shows a picture of a Treasure Goblin amiibo, which has not yet been revealed by Blizzard or Nintendo.
The Treasure Goblin amiibo bears a striking resemblance to an already released Cute But Deadly figurine, so the asset in-game could potentially be placeholder. If the amiibo is legitimate, we're unsure what rewards you'll get for using it in the game for now.

Here’s Your First Look at Henry Cavill in The Witcher Netflix Series
Netflix has given us our first look at The Witcher series' star, Henry Cavill in costume as Geralt of Rivia to celebrate the show beginning formal production.
In a clip shared on Cavill's Instagram page and the Netflix Twitter account, we see the actor in full costume and makeup, with the long silver hair Geralt also sports in CD Projekt Red's video game trilogy. We don't, however, see his prominent scars, or the beard he sported for much of The Witcher 3. Cavill is silent during the clip, but takes a swig from a flask to show that he's definitely in character.
Why Henry Cavill Doesn’t Have a Beard in Netflix’s The Witcher
Netflix's unveiling of Henry Cavill as Geralt of Rivia in full costume has polarized fans of both the video game franchise and Andrzej Sapkowski's best-selling novels, with each side giving their two cents on how the White Wolf should actually look.
The Netflix series is using the books as source material - not the popular game franchise - and in Sapkowski's novels, Geralt doesn't enjoy having a beard. In an excerpt from The Time of Contempt, Geralt asks his friend and legendary poet, Dandelion, if he can borrow his razor:
Geralt: "Do you have a razor?"
Dandelion: "Eh? Of course I do."
Geralt: "Lend it to me tomorrow morning. This beard of mine is driving me insane."

Betrayal Legacy Makes a Fantastic Horror Game Even Better, Out Today
This article was originally published on Oct 31, 2018, but we're repromoting it as Betrayal Legacy is out today for $75. Note that if you buy something through this post, IGN may get a share of the sale. For more, read our Terms of Use.
Betrayal at House on the Hill was already a well-loved board game, but its upcoming Legacy version from designer Rob Daviau has somehow made it even better. It takes the original’s randomized haunted house mechanics and centers them around the story of a single house that shifts (and gets considerably more spooky) over nearly 400 years of history.

Daviau was kind enough to sit down with us and play Betrayal Legacy’s first two scenarios ahead of its release next month. You can watch that playthrough in the video at the top of the page, though be wary that there will be spoilers for the prologue and first chapter of its 13 chapter campaign.
Netflix Renews Castlevania for Season 3
Netflix has given us a spooky Halloween treat and renewed Castlevania for Season 3 a few days after Season 2 debuted on the streaming service.
The series will expand from eight episodes to 10 in the upcoming season. There are no details on the plot of Season 3 so far, but the show will once again be written by Warren Ellis and directed by Sam Deats. Ellis serves as executive producer alongside Adi Shankar, Fred Seibert and Kevin Kolde.
Read our Season 2 review of Castlevania, which we call one of the best video game adaptations of all time, and check out our interviews with Shankar in which he discusses adapting Symphony of Night, and why Dracula is such a tragic and effective antagonist.
