All we got was an acknolwedgement that we’d hear more about Link’s next adventure later this year, and confirmation of an HD release of Skyward Sword. Safe to say fans were left disappointed, but for me I was more than happy to see a new Splatoon announced.
The other big news came from BlizzCononline at the end of the week, with more details of Dibalo 4 unveileved with the confirmation that The Rogue class will be returning to the series. That wasn’t all as Blizzard also revealed their HD remaster of Diablo II, an announcement sure to send fans wild.
If you’ve kept on top of the news, then you might want to satisfy your Sunday reading by taking a look at this deep-dive into Xbox Game Pass.
