Shades of Nephalem Theme
Nephalem, can you sense it? Everywhere you look, the remnants of a forgotten past are in wait. Waiting for the chance to focus their strength one more time to help you defeat the demons from hell. Are you brave enough to accept the help of these souls? The Shades of the Nephalem await....
We think the biggest feature in Season 22 is that triggering a Shrine or Pylon will generate a shadow clone of your class. The clone's power will last for a minute or until it is killed and will scale with your character.
You can see an example of the spawning process in the animated GIF below.
Also, in Season 22, Kanai's Cube there's a 4th slot. You have the choice of any power for this additional slot, but it won't stack with powers from your other slots.
Seasonal Cosmetic Rewards
Since the start of Season 17, Blizzard started making rewards from previous Seasons available to players who might not have utilized them the first time they were introduced. In Season 22, some cosmetic rewards from Season 10 are available once again. This means you can earn Season 10 favorites such as Head and Shoulder slots (see the left hand side of the image below) of the exclusive Conqueror Set. Also, you can earn the Black Soulstone-themed portraits and the scholarly Loremaster pennant (right hand side in the image below) first seen in Season 10, and now available in Season 22.
Blizzard are also rewarding players with End of Journey Rewards, which were first introduced in Season 17 - the Season of Nightmares. . In this season, new End of Journey rewards are available, with two new cosmetic prizes for those who complete the Season journey from start to finish. If you complete the Season 22 Guardian Journey (let us know if you do) you will win the Book of Cain pet and the Lost Civilization Portrait Frame (see the image below).
Season 22 Journey Rewards
If you've been working hard killing demons in the past and have reached the level of Conqueror in each previous season journey, you will have acquired a few additional stash tabs, which are helpful for storing bounty. In Shades of the Nephalem, you can earn and extra tab for each Season by completing the Conqueror level, but up to a maximum of five tabs:
- Guardian of Sanctuary: Finish a level 70 Nephalem Rift on Torment XIII difficulty within 5 minutes.
- Gem of My Life: Level three Legendary Gems to level 55.
- All I Do is Win: Complete two Conquests in Season 22.
- Life Goes On: Kill Maghda at level 70 in under 15 seconds on Torment XIII difficulty.
- Money Ain't a Thang: Slay Greed on Torment XIII difficulty. Treasure Goblins outside of Nephalem Rifts will sometimes open portals to Greed's domain, The Vault.
- Take U There: Reach Greater Rift Level 60 Solo. Greater Rift keystones can be obtained from any Nephalem Rift guardian.
- Power Amplification: Use Kanai's Cube to augment an Ancient Legendary item with a level 50+ gem.
- Cubic Reconfiguration: Use Kanai's Cube to reforge a Legendary item.
Seasonal Conquests
As you probably know, Seasonal Conquests are additional goals you can complete as part of your Season Journey. To earn all the cosmetic rewards in Season 22, you'll need to complete at least three of the Conquests below. The challenges available in Season 22 include:
- Sprinter and Speed Racer task you with completing Acts I through V at max level in under one hour.
- Want to go fast while killing things? Boss Mode and Worlds Apart are right up your alley.
- On A Good Day and I Can't Stop are making a return, if leveling your Legendary Gems is more your thing.
- Finally, if you're keen to prove your mastery of various Class Sets, Years of War and Dynasty will be returning along with Masters of the Universe and Masters of Sets
Haedrig's Gift
Finally, the Class Sets rewarded for completing certain chapters in the Season Journey courtesy of Haedrig's Gift have rotated once more. We've listed the available Sets below. For those new to Seasons, here's how it works:
Completing Chapters 2, 3, and 4 of the Season Journey will reward you with three of Haedrig's Gifts. These contain a few pieces from one of your Class Sets. Players can only unlock one Class Set in this manner per Season across Hardcore and Non-Hardcore, so choose wisely!
The set you receive depends on the class of the character you're playing when you open each Haedrig's Gift. To collect a full Class Set, you'll need to open all three on the same character. For the first time in Season 22, Haedrig's Gift will grant the all-new class sets introduced in the three previous Seasons:
Here are the sets granted by Haedrig's Gift:
- Barbarian - Horde of the Ninety Savages (see the image below from left to right)
- Crusader - Aegis of Valor
- Demon Hunter - Gears of Dreadlands
- Monk - Patterns of Justice
- Witch Doctor - Mundunugu's Regalia
- Wizard - Typhon's Veil
- Necromancer - Masquerade of the Burning Carnival

We love Blizzards accompanying text; "The shadows, they are moving, and they seem... animated. It is as though they have a will of their own. Whatever this trickery is, perhaps you can use it to your advantage. Let's see what the demons say when you fight side by side with your own shadow!"

Top 5 Best Video Game Themed Slots
Video games have a very huge influence on popular culture. Meanwhile, this influence has become so huge that it is not difficult to see why a ton of slot games have now become a part of the huge video game franchise.
A lot of new casino sites UK are known for their massive portfolio of slots and casino games. So, you shouldn’t be surprised if some of these casinos take more inspiration from video games in the near future.
In this article, we are presenting some of the online slot machines that were adapted from famous video games to video game and online casino enthusiasts.
1. Resident Evil
The pioneer of this legendary video game was released in the 90s, and whenever you think about the zombie horror video games genre, this readily comes to mind as a pacesetter. This later got a lot of sequels and some movies, because it was a very inspirational piece.
Of course, with the fame and the number of fans that this garnered over the years, it was no surprise that a slot machine sprang up later. In the slot game, the theme is the same with the original horror theme of the video game, and they also tried to bring in some symbols and logos from the video game. It incorporated the essentials of the video game in a way that the fans of Resident Evil will cherish.
2. Zuma
This stands as one puzzle game that people may describe as relatively simple. But its popularity is very huge and that is why it could be played on any platform at all, including the iPod, mobile phones, Xbox, PlayStation and the PCs. The slot game that followed comes with 5 reels and 20 pay-lines, coupled with the major symbols in the puzzle game. However, a few things were also added to make it even more exciting, and they include some of the conventional poker symbols and they sit nicely on the slot game.
3. Tomb Raider
This is another iconic video game that has a lot of sequels. It is such a huge franchise that other things are involved apart from video games. Here, you also have movies and many other forms of media. So, it means that the slot game has a very huge foundation to rest on even before it was conceived.
In the beginning of the game, a video of Lara Croft was shown. Later, it went into the full slot machine mode. Here, just like in all slot adaptations of video games, some familiar symbols from the video games are found, and Lara is also seen in different positions. The fact is that the Lara Croft slot game delivers a very enjoyable experience to the players.
4. Street Fighter
In Street Fighter, we have one of the most iconic of all video games of the arcade type. Many people see it as a simple and ordinary fighting game, but it also has a very large fan base, among who are people that adore the series, especially Street Fighter II.
In the slot game, all the essential characters of the video game are incorporated, and in the bonus round, the players have the chance to select any of these characters and fight with Bison. This is one of the most interesting parts of the game. If you love the Guile, Zangief, Chun Li, Rhu or Ken characters, then you will enjoy them in this game.
5. Call of Duty
When first person shooter games are involved, Call of Duty has a very significant place in history. This very popular game has a lot of sequels, and these sequels are designed to have happened in different eras like the modern times, Cold War, and the Second World War.

Some in-game features like the landmines are also available, and they deliver a playing experience that could be described as amazing.
Gaming & iGaming: Insights & Growth Prospects
The gaming world stands tall and robust more so now, thanks to advanced technologies powering it. From mobile gaming to consoles to casino gaming, eSports, and more, this trend of progression is not ending any time soon. Some of the most popular games have won millions of players, owing to rapidly improving communication and technology and as trends evolve, developers work behind the scenes to ensure their wares appeal more to the mainstream audience.
- Virtual Reality provides gamers hyper immersive gameplay. Incredible as they look, there’s still more ground to be covered in the sphere of game graphics that will blur the line between reality and the game. For instance, when photorealistic graphics are merged with VR, results are bound to be amazing.
- Nearly all online casinos in the lead make use of Artificial Intelligence by helping players achieve a personalized experience. From an enhanced customer service experience to recommended games that are in sync with their online behaviour, AI helps cater to the players’ needs as closely as possible.
- The use of wearable in the gaming industry is still at a nascent stage and different sections of the business are working with wearables to make the entire gameplay experience smoother, easier, and more realistic. For instance, the Myo armband helps players control actions on games by making gestures.
Growth of iGaming
iGaming has seen phenomenal growth in recent years and now with increased interest, there’s been a visible growth in online casino gaming and sports betting. With the advent of new tech trends that include virtual reality, artificial intelligence, machine learning, and cyborg, the online gambling market’s expected to grow at nearly 17% between 2020 and 2026. Further, the revenue generated from this market as well as a high rate of employment has encouraged many countries to legalize online gambling.
Diversity from a growth standpoint
Across all realms of Gaming, diversity has been an area of concern. Online slots are in abundance with innumerable titles which makes it easier for such games to appeal to a wider audience. Check out some popular sites for slot games not on Gamstop which are renowned for great pay outs, fabulous bonuses, and more. Now, games are also being aimed at the female audience which constitutes 40% of the iGaming population. This figure makes it imperative for the gameplay to be rich in content and overall experience. For instance, Mei-Ling Rider’s appointment for G2 eSports will help this developing gaming sector to charm a wider audience.
Convergence of Gaming & iGaming
Thanks to the rapid evolution of communication and technology, online gaming has reached every corner of the globe extensively. While gaming is essentially focused on results-driven by skills, iGaming is all about achieving results by chance. Both these activities are similar to each other in the way they are designed, constitute varied elements, and more.
Most gaming apps include gambling features and vice-versa, and these activities overlap each other to such an extent that they are referred to as gaming-like gambling and gambling-like gaming. Whether you play a video game that features mini-games to wager on in an online casino or a game that features loot boxes, games and gambling have come to converge a great deal. The union of these two genres not only makes the gameplay more exciting but also call for a high level of participation.

Only 12 months ago, Riot games stood as a firm that created a single video game only, and that was the League of Legends, and that entailed a single esports ecosystem that went global. However, on the 16th of October 2019, the company marked its one year anniversary, and it celebrated it with a video that revealed the list of new games that it was working on.
Currently, in 2020, the firm has not just launched three more games, but they now operate three different esports ecosystems. This somewhat rivals Valve’s foot in the door and Counter-Strike has inexplicably been responsible for some of the best CSGO gambling sites in 2020 which has allowed players to partake in skin gambling, item trading, games like crash, coinflip and jackpot and much more.
Throughout 2020, Riot Games have constantly been at conflict with Valve’s 2012 title Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. Despite not drawing in the same viewership or played hours as CSGO, Valorant still seems to be heading in the right direction.
The firm has succeeded in implementing a community centered initial growth system with the three new titles, including Valorant, Legends of Runeterra, and TealFight Tactics. Instead of running away with franchised leagues and million dollar prize pools, some form of breathing space was given to each of the titles by the publisher.
Through communication with organizers and teams, less intrusive support like incorporating unique features and funding of smaller prize pools would be provided. The senior director of global esports, Whalen Rozelle leads this growth strategy, and he does that by building on their experience from the evolution of the League of Legends esports.
According to Rozelle, one of the critical things which has been absolutely essential in helping them unravel how to get the best out of the strengths of each of their titles is the understanding of their communities, through partnering, participating, and listening.
Roselle went ahead to reveal to Esports Observer that they need to work with an approach that must be customized towards the needs of each game, while also considering the full scope of the global esports infrastructure of the group if they are to come up with very competitive ecosystems that will engage the players and fans for many more years.
An example to this is that the success that LOL has recorded globally has given Riot Games the chance to come up with regional esports operations across the globe. Each of the regions is spectacular and only people that work within the region would have a clearer understanding of the community engagement work, schedules, and formats over there. So, whenever they are searching to come up with an official global championship for TeamFight Tactics, Riot will study a region to know the most appropriate qualifying process for that region.
When 2020 wraps up, four global championship events would have been hosted by Riot Games for four games of completely different genres. In the coming years, there will likely be an increase in the number, as the publisher goes ahead to release the remaining titles that were announced in 2019, including a mobile LOL version and one fighting game.
The continuous expansion of Riot across the entire esports landscape must also create more partnership openings. Some of the non-endemic global brands have been brought into the space by the company, and they include Louis Vuitton, MasterCard and others. Having established those relationships, the multi-year established deals by Riot could be easily expanded to bring in international competitions in its other esports properties.
