So far Blizzard has remained consistent in its policy to frustrate eager fans when it comes to release dates for its new games– generally forgoing the traditional method of telling people when its products will be available in favor of them more unusual tactic of saying “sometime in the future”. Diablo III is no exception, but Blizzard continues to release trailers for the game, which could mean that it is due in 2011, or it might be due sometime in the next ten years. With Blizzard, you never know.

Following the recent release of the Demon Hunter class, the next trailer up is for the Monk class, a new type of character altogether. Despite the name “Monk” being shared with a class in the Diablo: Hellfire expansion, the class is original to Diablo III.

So while we may have a lengthy wait until the game is finally in our hands, at least we can get a taste of what is to come. Check out the Monk class in action, in this trailer for Diablo III.

[Update: sorry for the confusion, this trailer is from last year.  For whatever reason it began making the rounds again recently]

The Stream Deck support is an in-house integration rather than a third-party collaboration, since Corsair owns Elgato. It brings Elgato’s shortcut system directly to the mouse, letting gamers, streamers, and creators trigger app, gaming, and workflow controls without reaching for a separate desktop panel.

The PC and laptop industry has run on Intel and AMD silicon so long that most people don’t even question whether these are the only options. 

Nvidia just answered that question at Computex 2026, in the form of the RTX Spark superchip, and Jensen Huang’s comments about what comes next suggest that it wasn’t a one-time experiment.

Nintendo is redesigning the Switch 2 so you can replace the battery yourself
An EU regulation taking effect in 2027 requires portable game consoles to support user-replaceable batteries, and Nintendo is already preparing a compliant version of the Switch 2.
Nintendo Switch 2

Nintendo plans to release a modified Switch 2 in Europe that will let you swap out the battery without sending the console in for service. The move is a direct response to a new EU regulation set to take effect in February 2027, which requires portable electronics, including game consoles, to support user-replaceable batteries.

Why this is a bigger deal than it sounds
