Diablo IV is finally officially revealed - Blizzard announced the game at the opening ceremony of BlizzCon 2019 in Anaheim, and this is the first game in the series since Diablo III, which was released in 2012. The project was announced with a lengthy cinematic story trailer that showcased the game's dark mood, reminiscent of early projects in the series.
Blizzard describes the opening of the game as follows: “After the black soulstone was destroyed, the Prime Evil was defeated, and the angel of Death Malthael fell, dark times fell on the inhabitants of Sanctuary, claiming countless lives. Years passed, and only it began to seem that everything was gradually returning to normal, as evil woke up again - ancient, like the world itself.
The events in Diablo IV take place many years after the conflict between Heaven and Hell in Diablo III claimed millions of lives. No one had remembered big names for a long time, and then Lilith, the daughter of Mephisto, who, according to legend, laid the foundation for the human race, reminded herself of herself. Its influence is felt by all the inhabitants of Sanctuary: both men and women. It awakens the darkest feelings in their hearts and kills all hope. In addition to the story trailer, a video with the gameplay of the upcoming project was also shown:
As the developers promise, in Diablo IV the campaign will be arranged differently than in other games in the series. Sanctuary will be presented to players like never before: it will be a single open world, consisting of five completely different, but equally dangerous zones that can be visited in any order. You can travel on horseback, participate in events with other players, and visit cities to chat, find a group, or trade. Battles with bosses or other players will be rewarded. Many powerful opponents are promised.
It will be possible to complete the campaign in single player mode, as well as descend into randomly generated dungeons for valuable loot and items without ever joining a group. After the end of the game, special dungeons will open, which can only be entered with the help of keys. They can also be played alone or with allies.
Immediately after launch, players will be able to create a hero from one of five unique classes. There are three characters so far:
- The barbarian will allow you to crush enemies, unleashing unbridled fury;
- The sorceress knows how to freeze, set fire to and strike opponents with lightning, curbing the immense power of arcane magic;
- The druid changes shape, becoming the embodiment of the wrath of nature itself.
No release date has been announced yet, but Diablo IV has been announced for PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
