Activision and Blizzard have also released the first in-game 4K screenshots for Diablo 4. These screenshots will give you a better idea of the game’s graphics, as well as its art design and visual style (which is closer to Diablo 2).
Diablo 4 aims to draw players into a grim story line and give them the freedom to explore and forge their own path. The game will feature the most expansive and intense vision of the world of Sanctuary; a bleak and shattered hellscape bereft of hope and beset by demons.
As we’ve already reported, Diablo 4 will be always-online and will not feature any offline mode. Furthermore, Blizzard has not provided any ETA on when the game will come out so don’t expect to be playing it anytime soon.
Still, I’m certain that most Diablo fans will find these screenshots interesting. After all, these screenshots are artifact-free (something from which all YouTube videos/trailers suffer). So yeah, they can better showcase the game’s graphics. Furthermore, some screenshots are in a 21:9 ratio. As such, we can safely assume that the game will support ultra widescreen monitors at launch.
Enjoy!

i see the trash but where is the recycle bin?
Idk where is ur mom lolol
first find out where is your step mom https://media1.giphy.com/media/XDXGgx4zfjyJoFbEUy/giphy.gif
Diaboooooooooo..,.
More like Diabl–nooooooooooooooooooooooo lol
Graphics: what D3 should have looked like, really feels like D2 20 years later. Amazing!.
Gameplay however?… One shotting every mob is really worrying.
are you saying a game released 6 years ago should look like one released today? or are you saying D3 should of had art and a mood like D4 looks?
I’m obviously talking about the artistic direction
what you mean one shotting every mob? They only showed a bit of gameplay. You can’t make that assumption just by watching the one video.
Well now i actually watched some of a 1:51hr demo from Rhykker and it looks much better. Though the enemies flashing white looks rather arcadey, spoils the feel a bit. (Yeah i know, really nitpicking)
Looks great! I like a lot the lighting direction they took!
Also the snow house with the forest around looks very dense and moody, it somehow reminds me the intro cinematic of Diablo 2 where Marius is. I really hope they stick with this direction 🙂
That 4th image looks like a painting, very nice.
It’s nice seeing a comment that isnt negative. Its nauseating that people can not appreciate things anymore.
Meh
You’ll be long gone before even Diablo II gets put offline. Stop making dumb excuses and buy the games already.
Too bad the game is online only BS. No offline mode. I pass on this one.
Go play Honey Select or Monster Girl Quest or Snow Daze or HuniePop then u degenerate filthy weeb pirate
Thanks for the recommendations.
Yeah because you are not online 24/7…
What kind of logic bullshit is that? what if i want to play the game and the servers are down? what if they shut down the servers and the game goes to oblivion? what if i have an internet cuota? pathetic excuse.
What if your power goes out or your internet goes down? Maybe you should quite gaming by your logic.
So because games cant work without power it’s alright if if tack on as many potential problems as we possibly could?
Christ man, think before you type…
Maybe YOU should think before you type. That’s the point I was making What if you have a hardware failure?
Lmao well…….I hate to break it to you but if you have a hardware failure then you wont be playing anything regardless if its online or not.
Okay, let me try to explain why an always online requirement is concerning.
You compare it to a power failure or hardware failure. Fair point, then you cannot play your game. Read, YOU cannot play your game.
So often these companies ask for people to be always online while they themselves are not online. If my hardware fails, then that is MY problem and I could fix it. Ofcourse a power failure is different or heck, maybe that could be something I did wrong.
If the servers fails to handle the traffic or whatever, then every single person who paid 60 bucks is screwed because there is absolutely nothing you can do to fix it. See the problem?
Another problem with this always online is that while companies take a lot of data to sell to each other, Activision Blizzard is the last company I would trust with that right now. Their ties to China make them so untrustworthy. That’s a more personal thing.
Lastly, what happens when those servers shut down for good? Let’s say hypothetically, this game is the best of its genre ever, but later down the line, the servers are turned off and you can no longer play it.
I can still play games that don’t require an always online connection because they aren’t tethered to an always online connection.
And if all of that still isn’t enough, can you give 1 benefit why Diablo 4 is always online? It is not an MMO and it’s not like content will update on a daily basis. It is not more stable, it is not safer, …
than you wouldnt be playing anyway.
Tough luck? Mostly everything today goes live service or online only.
Keep up with the times old man XD.
Any always-online game is on life support from the moment it comes out.
It’s not a matter of “if” it’s going to die, it’s a matter of when.
doubt that…Blizzard games are played by millions and almost every single game they have made is still relevant.
Tell pirates on this site to stop pirating, it might fix the issue in a few years.
I am ok with online always. I hope even single player games adopt this and host some game files required so they can remove things like Denuvo. We live in a world that is always online. If you are complaining about being on a device is always connected to the internet in the first place than you are just complaining to complain.
I take Denuvo every single time.
Nobody ever bought Blizzard games for their graphics, and it appears they won’t be starting to with this one. Partner that up with gatekeeper permissions to even use the thing, and this game can go f**k itself.
it’s not in 4k…
Actually, they are 4K screenshots. VG247 simply resized them. You can open our screenshots in new tab and see their original 4K versions (apart from the last four that they are in 1440p format).
You effectively right! My bad.
Lets see screenshots of the in game store with EXP boosts and Loot drop rate increase boosts, we all know theyre gonna be there, its activision blizzard, they cant help themselves to that gross, predatory monetization.
Looks really good, too bad its full of bad decisions.
They wont shut off the game anytime soon, DIablo 2 is still online like 50 years later. At least that much we can trust Blizzard. Its not like EA.
Never played a Diablo. Looks pretty cool. Again with the online only nonsense though. …ehhhhhhhh.
Always online is to avoid piracy…..
This looks fantastic. I’m so stoked that they’re going back to the darker look and tone. I much prefer the more “realistic” look of the previous game before D3. I’m fully on board here.
Magic does not cast shadows, kinda lame.

Maybe they will add those effects during development as it’s not due for a long while?
I like the way it looks. Ready for more Diablo at this point. Love the fact that it’s going back to Diablo, Diablo 2 grim estetics. Hitting stuff in this game looks fun due to ragdols and stuff breaking. Hopefully the story is good though. The online thing doesn’t bother me at all. I have great net. If and when it goes down for an hour or so I am sure I’ll find some other stuff to do. 😀
Sadly the game comes out in a few years most likely. I’m hoping for a 2021 release but i guess we’l see at the end of next year. Really hyped for it, and curious about the other 2 classes.
Bring on the hordes of Treasure Goblins!!!
