Diablo 4 will not only be much darker than Diablo 3, but also significantly more brutal. In an interview, the developers revealed how much blood and violence is in the new installment.
This is what Diablo 4 offers: In conversation with the English site GamesRadar, Senior Producer Tiffany Wat revealed how you can attack enemies in the upcoming Diablo 4.
Each of the available classes has its own means and ways to eliminate the enemies in as spectacular a manner as possible:
What people liked about Diablo 3, we still have here. There are hacking and slashing and blood that splatters everywhere […]. Depending on how you kill the monsters, their bodies will fall apart.
If you decapitate an enemy, the head falls off. If you are a sorceress with a fire spell, you can scorch their flesh from their bones. Or you can freeze them and watch them explode into a million pieces.
GamesRadar also reports that they were able to see during a gameplay session how the druid rips enemies apart as if they were just wet paper, or observe reanimated waterlogged corpses dragging their faces through the muck.
Brutal gameplay fits Diablo
Here are the impressions: GamesRadar also had the opportunity for a 20-minute hands-on with Diablo 4 during the interview. There, the testers found heaps of “blood, pus, and other bodily fluids”.
They even saw a small boy who had been cursed. He choked on his own vomit. This illustrates well how dirty Diablo 4 is going to be. The developers confirm this as well.
Executive Producer Allan Adham told the site: “There is no clean victory in Diablo. The world is not your typical clean world where the good guys always win and evil is always defeated.”
Diablo 4 apparently wants to ensure that you feel that too. Bright and colorful colors and rainbows will be consistently kept out as in the third part.
How does Diablo 4 play? Although Diablo 4 sounds increasingly like an MMO with many of its features, it still remains at its roots a Diablo – a particularly brutal one at that.
The core endgame content consists mainly of the hundreds of different dungeons that you can make more difficult for yourself. They are instanced, accessible only to you and your group.
With a total of an hour of gameplay for the classes, it may be easier for you to get an impression of all this.
When can I play it myself?
This is what we know about the release: So far, there is not much information about a beta and a release. All assumptions are based on the years between 2020 and 2022. Only a later release is expected by no one. Everything we know about the release of Diablo 4 can be found here.
While you wait for the release, there are a few ways to pass the time:
