Unpacking Dark Star Mode
Unpacking, a game that has to do with organizing and placing objects in their proper place, has a secret and the official Twitter Unpacking allows us to do it on April Fool’s Day. When players complete a level in unpacking, they are usually rewarded with a gold star confirming that everything has been unpacked and withdrawn. Dark Star Mode invites players to embrace chaos and put everything where it should not be.

All new Blood interactive games are delayed for 2023
New Blood Interactive released a press release and a statement on Twitter, stating that due to Elden Ring, all New Blood games are delayed until 2023. Below is the image of the statement along with a transcript of the statement to make it easier to read : “Dear New Blood community, We are truly grateful for all the love and support you have shown us in recent years. However, as you know, the release of Elden Ring has affected many people and, unfortunately, we are no different. As soon as the game was released, the perfect reviews and many hours at Lands Between continued to pile up – and it became clear that things just could not return to normal. Since then we have had to adapt to a new way of life and meet many new production challenges associated with the Elden Ring. And because of these unprecedented and uncertain circumstances, we had to make the difficult decision to delay the entire development of New Blood until 2023. While this may be disappointing to hear, we hope that you, our most valuable players, can take time from your last sessions in the Elden Ring to understand why this decision had to be made. We are very excited to be back next year, introduce new games and bring you the experiences you have trusted from New Blood … but they will actually depend on how fast the Elden Ring DLC arrives. May the Outer Gods have mercy on us all. ”

This sample of rebranding was posted on Diablo’s Twitter: Shortly after the post was made public, Diablo’s entire Twitter account collapsed, so we can assume that the dramatic rebranding certainly caused some confusion in the underworld.
