You’ll find other players out in the world in friendly towns, but you’ll also be able to enter PVP zones. Game director Luis Barriga took the stage this weekend, and noted that this time around, Sanctuary will be front and center. The trailer also showcased Lilith, mother of the Nephalem - in other words, a female Diablo.
Inspiration was taken from old medieval paintings, and the trailer showcased during BlizzCon featured plenty of blood.
The hope is to make Diablo 4 darker, gorier, and more sinister, like Diablo 2 before it. From the onset, the plan for Diablo 4 has been to take the series back to its roots, particularly when it comes to the art direction. The existence of a new Diablo game isn’t exactly a surprise - not only has it been teased and leaked, a Kotaku report notes that the sequel has been in development for long enough to have its direction rebooted at least once. Blizzard Entertainment revealed the next installment in the storied dungeon crawling franchise Friday during BlizzCon 2019.
