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. In service of that darkness and lore, Diablo 4 will be littered with NPCs from villages and towns all over the aforementioned open world above the dungeons and caverns. Stępień said that the game will have "over 100 villages or places like this [sic]," and that players will have opportunities to learn about the world by discovering the "stories of simple folks" all o
The least interesting character revealed so far is without a doubt the Sorceress. This isn't to say she will not be an enjoyable character to play, but little about the gameplay trailer revealed anything new or special for her in Diablo 4 . Blizzards, Meteors, and Electrical discharges were used to hammer foes, while she also appeared able to transform into a current of electricity and move quickly around a space, hitting enemies as she mo
A potential diablo 4 lore|https://diablo4zone.com/ 4 _ leak popped up on Reddit today, and it appears to have revealed three classes that will be present within the game alongside the much more interesting possibility of open world gameplay becoming a feature for the fan-favorite franchise. 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
Finally, initiating combat through class-specific dismounts and attacks was highlighted during the presentation at BlizzCon as well, but it appears to be little more than cosmetic as opposed to a fundamental component of clearing endgame and the most difficult content. Right now one could consider the animation as a more elegant dismount to what exists in Blizzard’s MOBA Heroes of the Storm , where characters use mounts to move across the map, but dismounting into an attack simply has the companion vanish, while this looks more cinematic and action orien
Whether or not the Diablo 4 leak is true, it's certainly set a high bar for Blizzard come BlizzCon 2019 . It's also generating hype for the upcoming announcement , though, something that Blizzard sorely needs as its still embroiled in a Hong Kong controversy that threatens to completely overshadow what is normally the best weekend of the year for fans of the develo
As the announcement of Diablo Immortal was a spectacular failure last year, the logical assumption is that Diablo 4 will be announced this year. Prior to the controversial moves made by Blizzard this past week, that would have been newsworthy, but now the news may be too little, too l
Finally, the Druid would not be complete without his shapeshifting abilities. The trailer showed that the switch to a massive, imposing bear was instantaneous, and provides a bit of breathing room through an area-of-effect pushback coupled with a mighty roar. Smashing the ground in a frontal cone, several undead crumpled at once before the Druid shifted back out of its animal f
It is a sad state for Blizzard right now. 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 . Now though, we may be seeing one of the most staged, disingenuous BlizzCon events in the history of the comp
Only the arcane was missing from her toolkit in the gameplay trailer, and perhaps that is being replaced with a greater emphasis on electrical elemental attacks. As always, the Sorceress looks like a glass canon that can destroy her opponents from a distance, which will compliment the playstyle of either Barbarian or Druid nic
BlizzCon 2019 begins tomorrow, and previous leaks have already revealed that Blizzard is set to reveal two huge game announcements at the annual gathering: Diablo 4 , which has been in development for a while now, and Overwatch 2 . The latter will apparently be a more campaign-focused iteration of the franchise, but it's also tagged to introduce a new multiplayer game mode. As for Diablo 4 , there isn't much known about the game other than that focus on it has inevitably been ramped up after the poor showing from Diablo Immortal and a cry for a return to the series' ro
To no one’s surprise, Diablo 4 has now been formally announced as the first reveal at BlizzCon 2019. There is much to discuss on the matter, including an early look at classes, game design, and what the developers describe as a commitment to Darkness, World, and Legacy. There is no official date yet for the release of Diablo 4 , but this may chance in the days to c
