Diablo 4 Is Making Mythic Uniques Nothing Special

Diablo 4 Season 14 will dramatically reimagine how Mythic Uniques work, and it's a change that doesn't seem to be sitting well with many in the game's community. Since Diablo 4's launch, a handful of Mythic Uniques have been the best, and rarest, items in the entire game, with nearly every maxed-out endgame build wanting to use at least one (or likely several) if possible. Not every Mythic Unique currently in Diablo 4 is a winner, but finding or crafting items like The Grandfather, Heir of Perdition, and Harlequin Crest have always been a surefire way to gain an incredible amount of power. That was, in part, because these items had guaranteed stats and affixes. In a game of random loot, Mythic Uniques were set in stone, letting players build around them with confidence. !(https://www.gamespot.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Diablo-4-Season-14-Mythic-Uniques.jpg?w=1024) A look at some of Diablo 4 Season 14's Unique items as Mythics. That's changing in Diablo 4 Season 14. As revealed in the public test realm patch notes(https://news.blizzard.com/en-us/article/24259077/the-3-1-ptr-what-you-need-to-knowMythic) for Diablo 4's next season, Mythic Uniques will go from best items in the game to simply a "modifiable item quality," according to Blizzard. Every Ancestral Unique item in the game (of which there are over 100) will have a chance to drop as a "Mythic" Unique. Existing Mythic Uniques are now becoming regular Uniques with drastically reduced power. On top of that, just like Uniques in the game's Lord of Hatred expansion, Mythic Uniques will have mostly random stats and affixes. In Season 14, a Mythic Unique simply means that a particular Unique item has rolled with max stat values and the potency of its special power increased by 30%. Regular Uniques can be crafted into Mythic Uniques using the Horadric Cube, though Blizzard notes players will only be able to equip one crafted Mythic Unique at a time. Players can additionally use the cube to re-roll affixes on Unique items before potentially turning them into Mythic Uniques, giving at least some control over the randomness. It's a massively controversial change, in more ways than one. Players have already voiced their displeasure with the RNG added to regular Unique items as part of Lord of Hatred, which once upon a time also had set stats. Now Uniques can roll with completely unwanted affixes, making the hunt for a usable one much more time-consuming. Blizzard appears to be doubling down on the already unpopular idea and proposing that exact change to Mythic Uniques too. Whereas before seeing a purple item drop on the ground would cause a rush of excitement, there will now be a good chance it will be practically worthless if it doesn't have the right stats. Players are already arguing about the pros and cons of the change on places like Diablo 4 subreddit. While there are some players who like the changes and argue Mythic Uniques will be even stronger with the addition of being able to re-roll affixes with the cube, many don't see the point and sound frustrated by yet another layer of RNG. https://www.reddit.com/r/diablo4/comments/1tqhe42/mythicuniquesnolongermythic/?utmsource=share&utmmedium=web3x&utmname=web3xcss&utmterm=1&utmcontent=sharebutton "I'm not looking for constant RNG within my RNG," user VagueSomething writes(https://www.reddit.com/r/diablo4/comments/1tqhe42/comment/oohl1tk/?utmsource=share&utmmedium=web3x&utmname=web3xcss&utmterm=1&utmcontent=sharebutton). "Uniques and especially Mythics need some consistency to stats or they're not worth mixing into your build. I'm already gambling if they'll drop and now I'm gambling if they will drop in a usable state." But not everyone agrees. User StrikingSpare100, in a post(https://www.reddit.com/r/diablo4/comments/1tqpg3e/thechangestomythicuniquesarevastly/?solution=0e11df8a1945d0590e11df8a1945d059&jschallenge=1&token=7afd7253fec22262ff1c52b1703fe9ecd8fadf47cfa0b34df3b7e3e8ba32f9ee&jscorigr=) diving into the details of the changes and arguing why it's an improvement, is a fan of the changes. What were once Mythic Uniques will now drop far more frequently, with players having the option to craft them into even more powerful Mythic versions than existed previously. "Personally I like this much more than the current situation of Mythic Unique," they write. "70% of them are utter trash, and the rest are mandatory items that exist on every single build." https://www.reddit.com/r/diablo4/comments/1tqpg3e/thechangestomythicuniquesarevastly/?utmsource=share&utmmedium=web3x&utmname=web3xcss&utmterm=1&utmcontent=sharebutton Blizzard hasn't yet fully explained its reasoning for the change or whether or not it will be a permanent addition to Diablo 4 or is just in place for Season 14. It's possible the developer thinks this change will increase build variety and give players more options--something the community is always wanting to see more of. But if a greater variety of builds comes with the cost of far more work and hours of slogging through bad drops, it might not be a good trade. The Diablo 4 Season 14 PTR will run from June 2-9, so perhaps player feedback will see Blizzard divert course on the Mythic Unique changes before the season's launch on June 30.

Call Of Duty: Warzone For PS4 And Xbox One Is Being Delisted And Will Shut Down Later This Year

!Game Informer News(https://www.gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/bodydefault/public/2026/05/29/4acd1417/call-of-duty-warzone-2.jpg.webp) Activision and Infinity Ward revealed Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4(https://gameinformer.com/preview/2026/05/28/modern-warfare-4-is-returning-to-basics-while-improving-on-its-gunplay) yesterday, which will be the first entry in this generation to release only on current-gen consoles, leaving PlayStation 4 and Xbox One behind. It won’t be alone, as Call of Duty Warzone is also abandoning last-gen hardware. In a blog post(https://support.activision.com/warzone-2/articles/warzone-platform-update), Activision announced that Call of Duty’s popular battle royale is being removed from PS4 and Xbox One storefronts on June 4. Once this happens, it will no longer be available for download. If the game is already in your library, you can still install and play Warzone on PS4 and Xbox One through the end of Season 6 for Call of Duty: Black Ops 7. Overall support for the last-gen versions of Warzone will cease later this year, but Activision does not give an exact shutdown date. The free tiers of the Battle Pass will remain active for last-gen players. Activision states that on June 4, “content purchased with local currency – including COD Points, BlackCell, such as Call of Duty League Operator Packs – will be removed from the Call of Duty: Warzone in-game store and applicable menus on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.” !Game Informer News(https://www.gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/bodydefault/public/2026/05/29/49920047/call-of-duty-warzone-1.jpg.webp) On June 25, Warzone’s in-game store will be removed from PS4 and Xbox One. You can still redeem COD Points until this date. If you continue playing on platforms that support Warzone, such as PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S, remaining COD Points, purchased Battle Pass content and progression, and most content purchased with local currency will be transferred as long as everything is tied to the same Activision account. Warzone first launched on March 10, 2020, for PS4, Xbox One, and PC. You can read our original review of the game at launch here(https://gameinformer.com/review/call-of-duty-warzone/call-of-duty-warzone-review-coming-back-for-more). The free-to-play battle royale saw hundreds of players battling it out on large maps until only one remained, and it has been updated and expanded to coincide with each Call of Duty release since its launch, including a 2.0 overhaul(https://gameinformer.com/preview/2022/09/15/new-details-on-multiplayer-and-warzone-20-changes) in 2022. Although Warzone will continue to be supported on current consoles and PC, it's a bummer to see what's likely not a small portion of the player base losing access to the game in the coming months.

Xbox Showcase Won’t Have Next-Gen Helix News

The upcoming Xbox Games Showcase on June 7 will not feature announcements about the Project Helix(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/next-xbox-release-date-specs-display-price/1100-6525379/) console. Xbox chief content officer Matt Booty said on the latest Xbox Podcast that Microsoft also won't share much about the company's broad strategy plans for its future under the leadership of Xbox CEO Asha Sharma. Instead, the Xbox Games Showcase will be all about games . "We really want to focus on the teams and on the games. This is not going to be a place where we talk about strategy broadly. There are certainly some strategic things out there and some things we want to bring clarity to. But the focus here is on the games," he said. "For the long term, we want to make the right decisions, not fast decisions. There won't be Helix news. Helix will not be in this showcase. We want to get everything about that right." Booty said Xbox will provide answers to "broader strategic questions" and the Helix console at some point later. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BwYglyND1EA&rco=1 The Xbox Games Showcase takes place on Sunday, June 7, with an Xbox Direct event immediately following that will focus on Gears of War: E-Day. One of the games confirmed for the Xbox Games Showcase is the Fable reboot, which has been delayed to February 2027(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/fable-has-been-delayed-to-february-2027/). Booty said Microsoft will have "some really cool stuff to show for Fable" at the showcase. Fable was going to be developer Playground's second big release for 2026, following the successful launch of Forza Horizon 6. Another big game that Microsoft has on tap for 2026 is Halo: Campaign Evolved, which will bring the Halo series to PlayStation for the first time.

Fable Has Been Delayed To February 2027

Fable(https://www.gamespot.com/games/fable/) has officially been delayed to February 2027, Xbox has confirmed. Originally scheduled to release in late 2026, the next game from Forza Horizon 6 developer Playground Games has instead been shifted to Q1 2027. Talking about the delay, Xbox chief content officer Matt Booty explained that while Xbox is confident with how Fable is shaping up, it wants to give the game a "window" to shine all on its own. "We're excited about where the game is. We want to make sure that the game has a window of its own, so we are going to move it from this fall to February," Booty said in the Xbox podcast(https://youtu.be/BwYglyND1EA). While he didn't outright mention it, Booty's comments do suggest that Microsoft wants to avoid competing with Grand Theft Auto 6(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/gta-6-delayed-to-2026/1100-6531282/), which launches on November 19. Fable originally had a nebulous release date of Fall 2026, but signs of a possible delay cropped up earlier this year(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/fable-reboot-could-be-delayed-to-2027-amid-concern-about-gta-6-report/1100-6539357/) when Playground stopped signing off messages to fans with a Fall 2026 release date(https://x.com/fable/withreplies) at the end. https://youtu.be/BwYglyND1EA "In order to plan our game launches through the holidays, in a way that works best for players, we’re moving Fable to February 2027 so it can have the dedicated moment it deserves," Xbox added(https://x.com/XBOX/status/2060398425686888546) in a social media post. Fable steering clear of GTA 6--which Booty described as one of the "biggest entertainment moments" of the year--makes sense when you also factor in Xbox's tentpole game for the year, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/call-of-duty-modern-warfare-4-puts-you-in-the-boots-of-a-grunt/). Launching on October 22, Modern Warfare 4 should have enough breathing room to avoid direct competition with GTA 6, and the game is only coming to Xbox Game Pass(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/game-pass-gets-price-drop-new-call-of-duty-games-no-longer-included/1100-6539523/) a year after launch. Call of Duty games are usually one of the best sellers of the year, but last year's Black Ops 7 was the worst-performing Call of Duty game(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/black-ops-7-had-call-of-dutys-worst-sales-year-ranking-in-the-us-since-2008/1100-6537567/) since 2008. Microsoft hasn't revealed concrete dates yet for Halo: Campaign Evolved(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/halo-campaign-evolved-release-date-trailer-news/1100-6535992/) and Gears of War: E-Day(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/gears-of-war-e-day-release-date-trailer-story/1100-6526145/), but it's likely that more details on those games will be revealed at next month's Xbox June Showcase.
