What is Diablo 4

Diablo 4 continues the Diablo series known for its action role playing genre. They continue to be Developed by Blizzard Entertainment and Activation Blizzard. Since the initial announcements, Endgame Closed beta has been confirmed and World Level, and Skull System Mechanics have been discussed in a few interviews with developers. Diablo 4 was initially announced during the 2019 Blizzcon and was introduced with a cinematic trailer. Diablo 4 will continue the series and begin with Lilith's return to Sanctuary. 

Similar features are expected to return such as familiar Classes from previous titles, the unique difficulty system, and a continuation of the storyline. Much like Diablo Immortal, Diablo 4 will feature a number of available in-game items for purchase, however, developers had wanted to ensure fans that these purchases will not offer any in-game benefits or power, but are bought to further customize characters according to different aesthetics and cosmetic preferences. 

The initial announcements of the game have already introduced some features that can be found through the Beta stages that are open to a small pool of current Diablo players. These players must have their Battle.net setting set to receive marketing and emails in order to receive the invitation if chosen. The End Game Beta will introduce Helltide (Event), Nightmare Dungeons, Whispers of the Dead, Fields of Hatred (PvP), and Paragon Boards. However, further details on these features may not be released during this period, so those with the invitation will have exclusive access to any unique features found in Diablo 4. 

Diablo 4 Features

• Classes & Character Customization: Familiar Classes from previous installments can be found in this title and are expected to expand as updates are released. So far 5 Classes have been confirmed and players can choose between, Barbarians, Druids, Necromancers, Rogue, and the Sorcerers.
• Open World Regions: A new feature in Diablo 4 will be its explorable open world, separated into different biomes and regions. 
• Events: Special events can occur around the map or can affect all regions. Participate in these events to gain prizes and rewards. 
• PvP: This game was built with PvP features in mind, designating specific zones where players can interact and engage in battle with other players in an attempt to gain more valuable loot. Entering these zones will then force players to be alert as well for the risk of losing some valuable items as well. 
• Difficulty: Difficulty levels in Diablo 4, will feature some of the same aspects from previous games in the series. They will range from Normal to Torment 5 and players can work their way up the difficulties in order to reap more valuable rewards. 
• Seasons: Much like the previous titles in the Diablo series, season will be a returning feature that can introduce new questlines, enemies and legendary items as they pass.
• Season Pass: Blizzard Developers had promised players that this game will have available paid content and features, but will not be a pay-to-win game. Paid content will feature a new Season Pass and more items such as Cosmetics and aesthetic enhancements through Season Pass releases and in-game shop purchases.

What is new in Diablo 4? 

A few of the features below are what we have gathered from Blizzard's regular quarterly updates following the initial announcements of Diablo 4. Until its release, the developers are continuously taking in feedback from the community and continue to make changes to improve different mechanics and systems to work towards a great release. 

• Itemization: Developers have expressed their desire to strengthen Class identities to further enhance build customization and give each classes more unique features on their own. 
• Skills & Talents: This is a new system where experience can now be spent to unlock Skill and build your unique skill tree combination to add depth to each build.
• Legendary Items: Changes are being made to legendary items to bring more focus and value to other aspects and features in the game, so that players are not relyant on obtaining legendary items and the best equipment. 
• Stats: Players can expect new stats that are different from the regulars seen in previous games. 
• Class Mechanics: Each Class in Diablo 4, comes with a unique Class Mechanic that governs their playstyle and abilities, allowing to further customize the selected Class, as well as doting it with a distintive and unique system.

What Classes are in Diablo 4? 

As of the initial announcements, the 5 Classes of Diablo 4 have been released seeing some returning familiar Classes from previous installments. The Heroes of the Sanctuary of Diablo 4 are the Barbarian, Druid, Necromancer, Rogue, and the Sorcerer. 

• Barbarian

The Barbarian has unparalleled strength and expertly wields an entire arsenal in battle, with a weapon for every occasion. He bellows intimidating war cries and unleashes ground-shaking slams to send approaching hordes reeling.

• Druid

The Druid is a savage shapeshifter, fluidly transforming between the forms of a towering bear or a vicious werewolf to fight alongside the creatures of the wild. He also commands the power of earth, wind, and storm, unleashing nature’s wrath to devastating effect.

• Necromancer

A Necromancer’s dominion over life and death grants this grisly apothecary the ability to summon skeleton armies and golems, and to unleash baneful poison, curse, and bone skills upon his foes.

• Rogue

The Rogue is an adaptable, agile warrior who can specialize in ranged or close quarters combat. She can best any foe with her imbued weapons, perform powerful combo attacks, and can augment her arsenal with deadly poisons and shadow magic to slay demons with impunity.

• Sorcerer

Rune Words was inspired by Diablo 2, but with a fresh new way to play with options.

Further progressing and leveling will lead to more build customizations, especially at level 50 where players may then have access to the Paragon Board
