Through a lengthy, brutal cinematic trailer followed by a gameplay trailer, Blizzard has announced its isometric action RPG Diablo IV at BlizzCon 2019. It is being developed for PC, PS4 and Xbox One.
Diablo IV was the first announced game at this year’s BlizzCon, which is a good thing considering how anticipated it was prior to last year’s BlizzCon (to much fan disappointment). Diablo IV has been described by game director Luis Barriga as going back to the series’ darker roots, where every monster and character has a sense of place. It will be dark and gothic, “a bleak and shattered hellscape bereft of hope and beset by demons.”
Barriga also says that world is very important in Diablo IV, and the world of Sanctuary will be front and center. “Drowned undead and brutal goatmen” were mentioned, and Diablo IV’s vision of hell was described as dark, gothic and medieval. You will also group and trade with other players, or murder each other in PvP zones.
