Ten years will have passed between the release of Diablo 3 and that of Diablo 4. That is to say if the latter presents itself as a real event. Blizzard marketing also knows how to use pretty words to give confidence to fans of this cult license. “The darkness of the first game will mingle with the progression possibilities of the second and the intense combat of Diablo 3“, according to Rod Fergusson, the general manager of the franchise. What is certain is that Diablo 4 will see the light of day in the service game era, the seasons and the battle passes that go with it, not to mention this ambitious shift in favor of an open world. Players will begin by choosing from one of five available classes (Druid, Rogue, Witch, Barbarian, and Necromancer) and embark on an adventure of over 140 dungeons, side quests, and of course, endless loot.
