It looks like Diablo IV is officially confirmed. An error in an advertisement has revealed that the title is in development.
In the lead-up to BlizzCon, leaks and accidental revelations are not uncommon, but I’m sure Blizzard didn’t expect it this way. It seems that Diablo 4 is going to be one of the major announcements at BlizzCon, as an advertisement has inadvertently revealed the title.
What happened? As GameStar reports, an advertisement for a Diablo art book has surfaced that revealed a bit too many details. The book was supposed to come out after BlizzCon (November 1-3), but it has already been advertised. The corresponding ad can be seen in the current GameStar. The advertisement states the following:
Featuring over 500 artworks from Diablo, Diablo II, Diablo III, and Diablo IV, this book showcases numerous remarkable pieces of art created for the iconic action role-playing game from Blizzard Entertainment, which has provided generations of fans with eternal nightmares.
So if an art book is officially advertising artworks for Diablo IV, it seems very likely that this game will be announced very soon.
How likely is that? The likelihood of an announcement for Diablo IV is thus extremely high. However, it was already high before this slip-up. Last year, Blizzard had announced after the “Diablo: Immortal” debacle that they were working on several Diablo projects but weren’t yet ready to talk about them.
Those who follow BlizzCon via Virtual Ticket will receive some rewards, by the way.
When will there be new info? More details will apparently be revealed at BlizzCon 2019, which takes place in just under 2 weeks. We should expect the first images and solid information about the gameplay of the latest installment in the Diablo series.
Are you looking forward to Diablo IV? Or does your heart beat for Diablo: Immortal?
