It was at BlizzCon 2019 during a panel on Diablo 4's world and lore that Creative Director Sebastian Stępień shared some specific information about the story and setting in Blizzard's upcoming adventure. First, according to Wccftech 's recap, Stępień echoed the notion that Diablo 4 will be dark. He emphasized that the darkness will serve the story and vibe of Diablo , making the experience distinct and unique.

Even before their controversial placating of the Chinese market over all others, it was clear that the company had its work cut out for them at this years BlizzCon to convince its player base that they were still interested in making great games for the PC .

Although Diablo IV could be a mistranslated reference to Diablo Immortal , it's far more likely to truly mean the next full-sized Diablo sequel. In their assessment of the news, CCN also relays a tweet from Metro, an Overwatch streamer, who stated without evidence " diablo 4 and diablo 2 remastered" are both going to be announced at BlizzCon 2019.

Blizzard's last major _Diablo announcement was the poorly-received Diablo Immortal , revealed last BlizzCon to fan outrage all over the internet, which led to Blizzard feeling the need to defend its decision before wisely just deciding not to talk about it for essentially the rest of the y
With last year's unpleasantly-received Diablo Immortal reveal and a recent letter from United States politicians strongly urging Blizzard to reverse their decision regarding Hearthstone player blitzchung's termination still hanging over their heads, the company is surely anticipating a rambunctious crowd at their upcoming annual convention.
