Also some baby cats, mind you
Microsoft published a cinematic trailer for Vessel Of Hatred during their latest Xbox Game Showcase stream. The trailer is full of horrible squelching noises and screaming. I had it playing in another tab while I was writing up a trailer for the relatively wholesome and unhellishFable, and the clashing combination of stimuli has done a number on my brain. I refuse to actually watch the trailer. You can though. Here’s the embed. I’m sure it’s not as bad as it sounds. They have kids watching these showcases, don’t they? I’m sure all the squelching and screaming is just… jungle calls, or something. Possibly a species of forest mushroom that resonates in a bizarre way under certain conditions.
You can learn more of Hatred’s Vessel onthe Steam page. Hang on, they’ve got pictures of widdle baby cats on there! Not remotely squelchy or screamy or hateful or even apex-predatory! I can get behind that. These are seemingly the new pets that Blizzard have just now added to the game - you’ll find them when you next log in.
Long-in-the-tooth Diablo players like Graham will, of course,recognise Vessel Of Hatredas a throwback to the story of Diablo 2. Over on ye oldeXbox newswire, there’s a full breakdown of the trailer which includes some thoughts on who Neyrelle is and her relationship with Mephisto.
