One of the more intriguing games I saw at E3 this year was Vampyr, a “semi-open world” action RPG from Dontnod, the developers of Life is Strange. But don’t make the mistake of thinking that Vampyr is going to be full of teenage angst and heart-warming moments of friendship.

It’s hard to believe it’s now nearly two decades (if you go with rounding, that is) since Diablo II was released by Blizzard Entertainment. Diablo II launched on June 29, 2000 with the game’s first expansion, Lord of Destruction, coming a year later. If that doesn’t make you want to get out the Depends and Dentugrip, nothing will.
