During the show, fans got a brand-new trailer to watch as well as a developer deep dive into Diablo 4's dynamic open world, couch co-op, and even its end game content. In addition to the beta announcement, Diablo 4 had a major presence at the Xbox Games Showcase. Thankfully, fans won't have to wait quite that long to go hands on with the highly anticipated RPG as signups for future beta tests appeared online back in June. While lengthy development periods are nothing new for many Blizzard franchises, such as the oft delayed Overwatch 2, things are seemingly on track for Diablo 4 which is aiming for a worldwide release in 2023.

'They want to make gross, make it dark, anything that was considered cartoony in Diablo 3… Make what people were afraid of in Diablo 2, but modern.Since it was announced at BlizzCon 2019, Diablo 4 has certainly spent a lot of time under the radar. After it was scrapped, Blizzard then put teams working on two new projects: Another version of Diablo IV, and the Rise of Necromancer DLC for Diablo III.Īccording to Kotaku's sources, the current version of Diablo IV is codenamed Fenris and aesthetically shares more in common with the first two games in the series. The Souls-like version of Diablo IV had a number of Diablo III staff working on it from 2014-2016, including director Josh Mosqueira. Blizzard reportedly started working on this version of Diablo IV after the release of Diablo III: Reaper of Souls, cancelling a planned second expansion for that game in the process. That's according to an extensive report on Kotaku, which reveals the first incarnation of the highly anticipated dungeon crawler was codenamed Hades. Blizzard Entertainment was originally developing Diablo IV as a Dark Souls-like experience complete with over-the-shoulder perspective.
