This week finally sees the release of the hotly anticipated Diablo 4 – but what other exciting releases are there on Steam and Co.
Whoever releases a new game these days must be very brave or have a very specific target group, because with Diablo 4, one of the most eagerly awaited games in years is being released this week. And as we all know, developers prefer to avoid such a release.
So is there nothing to see in our weekly overview of the latest releases on Steam and Co. this time? Or maybe you”ll find one or two insider tips?

Highlight of the week: Diablo 4
(Genre: Action Role-Playing Game – Developer: Blizzard – Release: June 6 at 1am (Battle.Net))
About Diablo 4 we probably don”t need to tell you much more: Although some things like class balance and the ingame shop are annoying, Blizzard has proven here that they still have it, despite all the controversy of the past year.
The charismatic villain Lilith is summoned to the game world of Sanctuary in the latest spin-off and wants to end the eternal conflict between heaven and hell in her very own way. Presentation, plot, atmosphere – all this fits like a glove. And the monster slaughtering, the looting and the constant upgrading of one”s heroes is once again a lot of fun. Just what you expect from a Diablo.
Further releases of the week
