So based on those learnings, we are making Diablo IV open from the ground up. That was a moment where we learned a lot about how the game could be played, and where we saw how you guys were approaching Diablo. So, with Reaper of Souls we created Adventure Mode to kind of give you guys a taste of that openness and it was really transformative. Jumping around, killing stuff, and not following the rules. We told you that he came from Scosglen, and we had shown little corners of Sanctuary that we knew you guys wanted to explore but then on the gameplay side, we kept making a more or less linear game with Diablo before: Act 1, Act 2, Act 3 and you guys kept wanting to approach it in a more open way. ![]() On the fantasy side, we knew we had kind of planted these seeds of the druid. We’re coming at it from two angles: the fantasy and the gameplay. It’s a very big difference in how we’ve approached it from different installments. We’re very excited to see the combinations that you come up with but the message that we want to bring to you today is we want you to play the build that’s inside your head not the build that I designed for you but the build that you want to play because we realized that (you know) your idea of a frost sorceress might be different than mine or John’s.Īnother thing that’s new to Diablo IV is the sense of world. That’s no longer like a secret recipe, but a little bit more freeform with triggers and effects.ĮDITOR’S NOTE: I took this from one of the Diablo IV demo gameplay livestreams: You’ll get to hear all about it in our systems and feature panel tomorrow or if you check it out on the demo but the way that it works, it’s super exciting. Runewords, especially, we’ve taken inspiration from Diablo II, and given it a fresh new interpretation. Make sure to “Open in New Tab.” BLIZZCON 2019: DIABLO IV CONTENT We have a trifecta of customization options with talent trees, with skill ranks, and with runewords.ĮDITOR’S NOTE: Check out all the Barbarian, Druid, and Sorceress skills and talent trees in this menu then come back to the transcript. We’re a little nervous like: “Yeah, they gonna like it.” We’re bringing back some ideas and new ideas, so we’ve become inspired from various games. The customization is at the core of Diablo and what I mean with that is gameplay customization, and customization is back with a vengeance. Luis: Aright, but it’s not just the appearance. So if you want to customize the hair, the skin, the jewelry, the scars, the tattoos, those kinds of things and we really wanted it like, we have a lot of these that we’re planning and it’s something we’re really excited about. These are some concepts of also where we’re going with this, we really want to give you like kind of like a template, and you can build on that fantasy however you want. Don’t you think? you guys want more options for customization than you’ve had in the past? Of course, and we agree and we’re offering levels of customization in Diablo IV, more than we’ve ever had before and allow you to make that Barbarian of your dreams (that drove your dreams), and this is just a few options that we have here today in our demo to kind of show you what the appearances look like. So how you look in a game like Diablo as you’re laying waste to the hordes of Hell? It’s pretty important. Progression will be evident thanks to the included skill trees, while there will be greater opportunity to customise player appearance.John: Super exciting. There will be five classes of characters, with three already announced – the Sorceress, Barbarian and Druid. Thank you, it has been an honor and a privilege to work with you all. Leaving is bittersweet as I love our Gears family, the fans, and everyone at The Coalition and Xbox. Starting in March, I will join Blizzard to oversee the Diablo franchise. In a curious move, former Gears of War head Rod Fergusson moved to Blizzard specifically to oversee the series. Fergusson has been instrumental in the popularity of all four Gears of War titles, and will hope to translate some of that success to Diablo. ![]() This is a notable shift from regular foe Diablo, your principal antagonist in the first three games. Your main enemy will be Lilith, the daughter of Mephisto, who has established power.
