After numerous reported false starts, Blizzard have been as we speak lastly able to announce Diablo IV. Oh expensive oh expensive, somebody’s solely gone and launched one other historical evil, so as soon as once more it’s as much as us to click on on monsters till their bellies burst with a blast of gold and swords. Lilith, the Daughter of Hatred, is the massive nasty this time. She created the world of people, so she’s a flawed’un. After the softer Diablo III, Blizzard say they’re going darkish once more with this one. Watch the action-RPG’s cinematic announcement trailer and a wee gamevid beneath.
Game director Luis Barriga took the stage at BlizzCon to elucidate that they’re going darker in story and darker in look, with heaps of blood, gore, occult symbols, and that. The cinematic’s blood sigil reaching out the our bodies is fairly chuffing rad.
The first three courses confirmed are the Barbarian, Sorceress, and Druid, with extra to be revealed. For now, see these three in motion AND ON HORSES:
Blizzard say Diablo IV’s world will likely be “a contiguous, seamless landmass” and it sounds a bit Destiny-ish too, with “opportunities for groups of players to encounter each other in the same shared world”. I’m up for informal meetslashes, positive.
No agency phrase but on when Diablo IV is coming to PC (and PS4 and Xbone). Blizzard plan to gab extra concerning the game in panels throughout BlizzCon weekend. A wee demo will likely be playable there too and, by luck we’ve roving reporter Jay Castello on the market in California.
