Diablo 4 details leaked prior to official reveal; darker and grittier, will be similar in style to Diablo 2

It appears that the first details for Diablo 4 have been leaked online. According to the leak, Diablo IV will be darker and grittier than before, will feature a 4-player co-op mode, and will have a similar style with Diablo 2.

This leak comes from Reddit’s PracticalBrush12 and ZhugeEX. Both of them have been reliable sources when it comes to leaks, so I guess this is the real deal. Still, and while the sources are credible, I suggest taking everything you are about to read with a grain of salt.

Diablo 4 is going to look dark, gritty and gross. Locations will be toned down, infrequently laid with corpses, wasteland, grey-ish deserts, clut caves surrounded by flesh, rotten crypts, marshes and bogs, as well as plagued cities. These levels will be larger than Diablo 3’s levels.

Characters will now be able to ride horses (possibly other mounts) and there might be contextual interaction with environment. Blood splatters will also look more like blood and not splashed jam.

The leaker has confirmed three classes: Mage (uses fire, ice and lightning so far), Barbarian (swords, clubs, axes, kicks etc), and Druid (lightning, wind, and transforming into beasts).

While it’s not clear whether there will be PvP at launch, there will be a 4 player coop mode.

Now into some spoilers (so be sure to avoid this paragraph). Okay? We got this out of our way? The leaker claims that Lilith will be the new diablo in Diablo 4.

As said, we expect Blizzard to officially reveal Diablo IV later today at Blizzcon 2019, so stay tuned for more!

      1. I know. She was even in Diablo 2 LoD. But she is nothing in hell’s hierarchy so making her main boss is suspicious.

        1. Lilith has nothing to do with Hell’s Hierarchy? Her father is Mephisto, she’s the brother of Lucion, she created the very beings who have vanquished Diablo 3 times, and she also directly is responsible for summoning Diablo in Diablo 2.She also took part in the resurrection of the two other Prime Evils.

          Man was your comment about her having nothing to do with Hell’s Hierarchy actually suspicious.

    1. poor guy.

      Last year obviously they weren’t ready to show D4, and this guy was tasked with announcing Diablo Immortal to everyone, without so much as an explanation, like “Oh and btw we are working on a PC sequel, we just aren’t ready to show it”

    1. Hey Fernando, the guys are right. Due to our new comment policy, this is a warning message. There is no reason to spam the same message in every article 😉

  1. If it’s always online and i can’t pirate it then i don’t care, always online games belong to the trash can.

  2. Does anyone “really” have faith that today’s Acti/Blizz can deliver a genuinely good Diablo game?

    Set aside the inevitable grotesque DRM and money gouging tactics. The game itself, is sure to be trash. Wouldn’t touch this for the life of me.

  3. The leaker claims that Lilith will be the new diablo in Diablo 4.

    Lilith cant be the new diablo unless they merde on the lore, but given the fact what happened to blizz and d3 i doubt it will be anything good.

  4. Hoping for PC controller support this time as the game for me played so much better on the consoles and without the always online nonsense of PC.

    1. Pretty much, you can add Diablo 2 and Torchlight 2 to the mix and the result will be far better than anything Blizzard is making.

        1. grind? arpgs like most online rpgs are about grinding. and its tencent who owns it not the chinese. not sure whos that relevant though, or do you research the CEOs of game companies once you buy a game from em? lol

          1. Path of Exile is too grindy and you get barely any return for your efforts due to it being a F2P game.

            Tencent does indeed own the developers and they’re a monopolistic mass media company that’s essentially a proxy for the PRC Government and keep trying to buy everything outside their borders for control.
            The devs even censored the HUD due to having a statue of a woman with breasts.

            Yes I do research into this stuff because unfortunately the industry has become a convoluted mess where consumers are treated like cattle that don’t even own the products they paid for.

          2. a proxy? a year ago the chinese government blocked game releases from tencent and the stock dropped like 35%. kind of a weird move if theyre one and the same huh?
            and wtf does removing a naked woman from the UI have to do with the PRC?
            do you also research every CEO and executive of a game before buying it? must take you a lotta time

            and again, all ARPGS are grindy (d2 “the original arpg” was about grinding the same stupid easy content over and over for months)and you get tons of results from grinding. i just played blight league on a solo self found character and beat uber elder. took me probably about 250 hours, thats really low for a grindy game. the game itself changed quite a bit from what i heard so maybe if you played it years ago it was like that but no idea

  5. Lillith the new Diablo? Sounds misogynist to me. We all know Women can’t be bad. It’s men who do bad things.

  6. Darker and grittier? You mean like a lot of us wanted from Diablo 3, an opinion disregarded – if not mocked – by the art team.

    Even if I didn’t have an issue with Blizzard right now, I wouldn’t trust them after Diablo 3 (at least until I knew they weren’t f*king this up too.) Always online, connectivity issues at launch (Error 37), the auction house, and balance likely skewed to encourage usage of the auction house, among many other things I’m probably forgetting. Fool me once…

    1. huh? its online where they use bots and maphacks. but they can do so because of the game being able to be played offline. that means the whole games engine is on your pc and thus, easy to spy on to it and hack it
