Diablo 4 is official, and it's built on three pillars: darkness, world, and legacy. Blizzard revealed the long-awaited followup to its action RPG series as the first part of its BlizzCon 2019 opening ceremony, telling fans that it would be a "dark, gothic, and medieval version of Hell" coming to PC, PS4, and Xbox One. You can catch the cinematic reveal trailer below, and the very first gameplay trailer in here.

[/b]The cinematic trailer follows an adventuring party delving deep into some old place they definitely shouldn't be going. After a few backstabs and abandonments, they find themselves in an ancient chamber where a fiendish figure leads them to resurrect... Lilith. Yep, the leaks were right. She'll be the primary antagonist of Diablo 4, and her bloody new form looks suitably imposing.

But you're really here to watch a bunch of intrepid adventures slam their way through hordes of monsters, ideally from an isometric perspective, right? Here you go.

[/b][b]A BLEAK FUTURE

[/b]

Diablo IV takes place many years after the events of Diablo III, after millions have been slaughtered by the actions of the High Heavens and Burning Hells alike. In the power vacuum, a legendary name resurfaces—Lilith, daughter of Mephisto, the whispered progenitor of humanity. Her grip on Sanctuary cuts deep into the hearts of men and women alike, cultivating the worst in its denizens and leaving the world a dark, hopeless place.

AN OPEN SANCTUARY TO EXPLORE[b]

With Diablo IV, we are cracking open the campaign approach to broaden Sanctuary in a way we've never explored. With a fully open world, players will be able to adventure across five distinctively dangerous regions in any order, all seamlessly connected for uninterrupted journeys.

Mount up and roam from zone to zone completing public events with others or explore populated town social hubs to party up and trade. Challenge a world boss or even other players for treasure and glory! The world, along with its deadly inhabitants, awaits.

While it’s dangerous to go alone, you might prefer to solo your way through Sanctuary. Anyone can explore the campaign at their own pace, plumb randomized dungeons for rare loot, and find any item without joining a group. Keyed dungeons will offer a new endgame experience available to individual players as well as groups of up to four! You'll want to stay tuned to find out more!+

THE CLASSES OF DIABLO IV

Players will be able to choose between five different, unique classes on launch. Let’s start with a few fan favorites, three of which we’re revealing today at BlizzCon:
