Hopefully that last part will be optional, to avoid issues. You can run into other players within the game world, taking on gigantic bosses together or even indulging in a little PvP action. Unlike previous games, this sequel will offer a shared world experience. Diablo 4 will release on PC, PS4, and Xbox One.The Druid is a savage shapeshifter whose updated playstyle empowers them to fluidly transform between werewolf, werebear, and human form to unleash the raw power of nature’s fury on the forces of the Burning Hells.ĭiablo IV will preserve the core gameplay that we all know and love, with skill trees and ridiculous amounts of loot to collect, not to mention runes and, in a new twist, personalised mounts for open world traversal. Blizzard wants to combine the sense of dread from Diablo 1, the loot chase from Diablo 2, and the combat from Diablo 3. You’ll find other players out in the world in friendly towns, but you’ll also be able to enter PVP zones. Game director Luis Barriga took the stage this weekend, and noted that this time around, Sanctuary will be front and center. The trailer also showcased Lilith, mother of the Nephalem - in other words, a female Diablo. Inspiration was taken from old medieval paintings, and the trailer showcased during BlizzCon featured plenty of blood. The hope is to make Diablo 4 darker, gorier, and more sinister, like Diablo 2 before it. From the onset, the plan for Diablo 4 has been to take the series back to its roots, particularly when it comes to the art direction. The existence of a new Diablo game isn’t exactly a surprise - not only has it been teased and leaked, a Kotaku report notes that the sequel has been in development for long enough to have its direction rebooted at least once. Blizzard Entertainment revealed the next installment in the storied dungeon crawling franchise Friday during BlizzCon 2019.
