What is the story of Diablo IV?
The story of Diablo IV takes place after the end of Diablo III and after the defeat of Malthael. The world is in ruins and there are few survivors. Lilith, the main antagonist, comes back to life. She is the daughter of Mephisto, the lord of hatred and brother of Diablo, and is considered the mother of Sanctuary.
What do we know about the content of Diablo IV?
10 years after Diablo III, there will be many changes in this new game. We are still a long way from its official release, but we already have some information on this long-awaited hack ‘n’ slash. Let’s see what’s new.
Diablo IV will have a premium online store to purchase cosmetics only, but also a season pass for the same purpose. Expansions of the game are expected to be paid. As for the game mode, there will be a normal mode and a hardcore mode where your character’s death is final. The creation of the character of the season will also be available and will be the only way to participate in the season. It will have a new phase each time and offer new challenges. Clans will have their own banner, common chest and voice chat which will be integrated into the game. Low value items can be traded between players. Diablo IV will use a system of linked items when you collect them and a new category will appear: Unique Items. Transmog will once again allow players to customize their character graphics with skins that can be unlocked or purchased from the store. You no longer have to fix your computer. You will lose the gold directly when you die.
–The game will be available in 5 classes and the customization should allow for much more than in previous installments: hairstyle, skin color, scars, facial details … Many skills and talents will be available to players to offer a wide variety of build. The classes will be: Magician, Druid, Barbarian, Thief and Necromancer. Maybe there will be updates to see more classes in the future.
100 will be the maximum level to reach and at level 50 Paragon will appear. At each level you can use two points in the skill tree … Shaped like a tree. Here you can unlock new passive attributes and upgrades. More passives can be unlocked at the tree roots. It is possible to restore feats, but the cost will depend on your character level. There will also be a Paragon board that will allow players to be even more specific in their specialization.
–The world of Diablo 4, which takes place mainly in Sanctuary, will be, an open world that will be much larger than the previous installments. Areas can be completed in no particular order as they will be adapted to your level. It will be possible to cross paths with other players, as the game will be online only. However, the frequency of encounters shouldn’t detract too much from the player experience, as there will be areas reserved for group battles and it is mainly in these that wild interactions can take place. Dynamic time and day / night cycle will directly affect the monsters present. When the game launches, there will be 5 major regions and regular global and local events. There will also be a hundred peaceful settlements: small village, big city, village, where you can meet more players. Important detail: cross-play will be possible in Diablo IV. About 35 hours of life to complete the main campaign, if we don’t count all the exploration that this open world offers.
For the impatient, pre-orders are rumored to be available before 2023
