Diablo 4: What's Next Presentation

Diablo 4 having finally been announced, a dedicated conference quickly followed to present it in more detail, directly with some of the key figures of the project. Many elements remain to be clarified, but it has been confirmed that Diablo 4 will be a classic RPG Action in isometric view, it will include a dark and non-linear campaign, an open world and hundreds of dungeons and legends are planned.

Diablo 4: Release date

• Let's start with the most important thing. With no surprise, no release date has been offered. They simply stated that it is not going to happen soon, not even the Blizzard-specific 'soon'. This explains why all the following information is rather superficial and many important points have not been mentioned. However, there are other conferences coming up tomorrow.

Story

• The story takes place decades after Reapers of Souls. Sanctuary was devastated, as well as the heavens that withdrew to themselves. Lilith, Mephisto's daughter, considered the mother of humanity, returns to Sanctuary. The reasons for its invocation are currently kept secret.

Classes

• When the game released, there will be 5 classes, 3 are already revealed, the Sorcerer, the Barbarian and the Druid. The choice is made in the same way as Diablo 2, around a campfire.

• It will be possible to customize the appearance of your heroes this time. Gender, hair, skin, tattoos, etc.

• Talent trees are back. They seem to be quite strongly inspired by those of Diablo 2 after their revision. But the system is also mixed with Diablo 3's system obviously.

Barbarian

• The fighter who embodies the brutality of the series.
• It will have 4 weapon slots at the same time. This will allow him to equip the weapon he needs for each fight.
• Many of Diablo 3's techniques are back, such as leaping, frenzy, shock wave.

Druid

• You can change shape when you want follow the attacks with the most suitable form, such as werewolf to hit and then bear-werewolf to charge.
• The Druid also has pets to assist him in battle, including 2 wolves.
• The magic of nature is also at its service, like tornadoes and lightning.

Sorcerer

• The Master of the elements is also back, with fire, lightning and ice at her service.
• This includes frost flashes, fire walls, a charge in the form of a lightning ball, etc. Most of the skills from previous games seem to be back like Blizzard, Hydra, Fireball etc.

World

• Rather than a fantastic world in its inspirations, it is occult, and dark. It's a universe where evil can win.
• The world of Diablo 4 is open, with 5 distinct regions.

• You can decide how you will explore it and level it up, which is facilitated by the non-linear campaign.
• Waypoints will always allow you to travel quickly.
• Customizable frames will be available, you can equip them with a seal, armor, trophies etc.
• Each class has the ability to leave it quickly, such as the barbarian leap or teleportation.

Dungeons

• Underground and above ground dungeons will be constructed in a procedural manner.
• You can explore Hell too, Diablo obliges.

Social

• You can play solo, or form groups, PvP and trade are available.

Monsters

• The Fallen will be present, but also many new features.
• The drowned are the undead from the oceans, the fruits of an ancient curse.

Equipment

• The sets were too important in Diablo 3, they will always be present but not as predominant.
• Many legendary people with special powers will be present.

• The runic words are also back, but in a more flexible and free form. You can compose your own words according to the desired effects.
