Lilith has been summoned in the mortal realm and it's probably bad for the people of Sanctuary.ĭiablo 4 is set up as a shared open-world online game with multiple dungeons and regions that players can choose to explore. Overall, the world is bigger than all previous Diablo maps combined. These five regions are split into various sub-regions, each offering its own unique environmental style. There are five different regions that make up Diablo IV's Sanctuary setting:

With a horse, you can more quickly traverse the environment, as well, which should encourage more exploration. Instead, the shared open-world environment is yours to explore, and you can freely roam and conquer enemy strongholds if you don't want to stick to completing the main questlines right away. This organization was present in both original games, and you'll be able to turn in ears from fallen enemies to use as upgrades.ĭiablo IV isn't structured linearly like Diablo III. The demonic villain Lilith is shown during a resurrection ceremony in an early trailer, and we know that we'll be able to work for the Sisterhood of the Sightless Eye during the game.

Set after the events of Diablo III's Reaper of Souls expansion, Diablo IV's story is set to be a darker tale than we saw in the previous game-similar to Diablo II. 'As you move from zone to zone, you seamlessly have that transition, and you can really feel that when you have the power of Xbox behind you.' The Story So Far 'One of the things we really try to do is create seamless, shared open world,' Blizzard SVP and Diablo EP Rod Fergusson said. Thanks to the SSD technology in both of these consoles, Diablo IV won't have loading screens as you move from zone to zone across the open world, but you will encounter those screens briefly when teleporting back to the town or you move into a dungeon. On Xbox Series X, Blizzard says Diablo IV will support full 4K at 60fps, while the Xbox Series S version will run at 1080p at 60fps. Diablo III and Diablo II: Resurrected both also came to Nintendo Switch, but that platform has not been announced for Diablo IV. Alongside PC (via ), Diablo IV will launch on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PS5, and PS4. The release plan is different for Diablo IV, which was announced for consoles and PC at the same time.
