IGN UK Podcast #559: The Manic Marsupial and Jesse's Voice Changer

-
The manic marsupial, AKA Crash Bandicoot is back, and because he forgot to press record the first time; so is Dale with a second go at explaining all his thoughts on the game. Jesse is also on and has been playing a ton of Star Wars: Squadrons. In other news, he also has a new voice changer toy that distracts us for a good 30 seconds too. Cardy rounds off the trio by telling us all about his early thoughts of the Mafia Remaster and we also have an extremely tight round of The Endless Search that needs an action replay to decide a winner. It's tense stuff. Remember, if you want to get in touch with the podcast, please do: ign_ukfeedback@ign.com.

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Preloading Has Begun

-
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom isn't out for another week, but it's now officially available for preloading. As of today, Nintendo Switch users who preordered Tears of the Kingdom digitally can now preload the game a week early as expected. Of course, it still won't be playable until the game officially unlocks, but preloading it now might help you jump back into the world of Hyrule a little bit earlier — as GameSpot pointed out, the file is 16.2GB. Some fans have reported difficulty with getting the preload to begin, but it appears there's a simple solution. According to Twitter user @PhantomxKairi, canceling the preorder and preordering again should prompt the preload to begin correctly. My digital version of Tears of the Kingdom is now preloading on my Switch! For those who don't see the preload yet (I used a NSO game voucher) cancel the preorder and preorder again, download will pop up! Can't wait for May 12th <3 #Zelda #ZeldaTearsofth

Diablo: Immortal Won't Launch in Belgium and the Netherlands Due to Lootbox Laws

-

Diablo: Immortal will no longer be released in Belgium or the Netherlands due to lootboxes being illegal in both countries.

The long-awaited mobile (and now PC) game finally arrives on June 2 but developer Activision Blizzard cancelled the launch in the two European countries just days before their release date.

As reported by gamesindustry.biz and confirmed to Eurogamer, Diablo Immortal will not be available there due to "the current operating conditions in these countries", as Belgium and the Netherlands both deem lootboxes to be gambling and they're therefore illegal.

"Diablo Immortal will not be available in Belgium or the Netherlands, and will not appear on Battle.net or the Belgian and Netherlands App or Google Play Stores," a spokesperson told Eurogamer.

The ban was placed in 2018 and is essentially only intended to affect loot boxes that have contents which can be sold for money.

It's unclear if lootbox items will be sold on the secondary market in Diablo: Immortal (or if this will be possible in the game at all) but Activision Blizzard seemingly has some reason to believe this will be the case and has therefore banned the game in these territories altogether.

Diablo: Immortal was announced at BlizzCon 2018 and was rumoured to release on June 30 after a date appeared to those who pre-registered for the game on Apple devices.

It was almost immediately met with negative fan reception due to its mobile-only plans and then-Blizzard Entertainment president J. Allen Brack said the company learned that "fundamentally our roots are PC" as a result of the reveal.

However, once the game hit alpha, we called it a hell of a good time, even if it did come with some problems.

Brack stepped down from the his position after Activision Blizzard was hit with a discrimination and harassment lawsuit from the state of California last year, the first in a long series of accusations that have since been made against the company.
