Diablo IV features cross-platform play and cross-progression on
Windows® PC, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PlayStation®5,
PlayStation®4, plus up to four player co-op, including two player
couch co-op on consoles.
“This is a moment years in the making for the Diablo IV team,”
said Rod Fergusson, general manager of Diablo. “We’re extremely
proud to offer players the richest story ever told in a Diablo
game. Players have a range of choices, including personal character
customization, equipping personalized skills for battling horrific
demons, or collecting Legendary loot to support your playstyle
while discovering new ones. Since the game was first announced in
2019, the support from millions of players around the world drove
us toward this release of our dark vision of Sanctuary. Hail
Lilith, Blessed Mother.”
“Our vision at Blizzard is to create legendary experiences for
all to share, and Diablo IV is an incredible realization of that
vision,” said Mike Ybarra, President of Blizzard Entertainment.
“With highly customizable gameplay, gripping storytelling, and
plenty of options around how to engage with the world, this
masterfully crafted expression of the Diablo universe is an
outstanding example of what our talented development teams are
capable of. Whether you’re a veteran of the series or diving into
Sanctuary for the first time, we welcome players to the global
launch of Diablo IV.”
Set 50 years after the events of Diablo III: Reaper of Souls®,
Diablo IV opens with the summoning of Lilith, the Daughter of
Hatred, back to the mortal realm of Sanctuary. The lands have
become infested with horrific creatures, and only the bravest of
souls will be able to stand against the threat of chaos. Players
can customize their gameplay experience in directions that appeal
to them, experimenting with skill trees to showcase complimenting
spells and abilities as they fight to return Sanctuary to its
citizens.
Diablo IV heralds an expansive overworld, which players
can explore as their choice of five classes—the shapeshifting
Druids, agile Rogues, elemental Sorcerer, brutal Barbarians, and
ritualistic Necromancers. There is no golden path; players choose
how they want to progress, whether it be pursuing Lilith with
laser-focus or exploring the dark corners of each region, while
building their skills. The land of Sanctuary is diverse with
different biomes and demonic beasts, and players will test their
mettle across five regions in over 120 dungeons and dozens
of side-quests, all while confronting World Bosses and
exorcising plagued Strongholds in a shared and cooperative
open world.
But it doesn’t end there. After completing the main storyline,
players can explore robust end-game activities to further their
adventures and grow even more formidable in power. From the
grueling and regularly occurring Helltide, to demonically
challenging Nightmare Dungeons, there’s plenty of ways for
players to utilize an updated Paragon Board system and
continue customizing their adventures. Also featured is the
Whispers of the Dead, which grant Legendary rewards for
selected world bounties, and the Fields of Hatred, which
offer designated grounds for battling other players and building
PvP renown. Plus, players can remain embroiled in the happenings of
Sanctuary with the regular release of Seasons and
expansions, providing new gameplay features, questlines,
characters, challenges, and Legendary loot.
