It sounds like Diablo 4 won’t be part of The Game Awards, if this report is true. However, news will likely arrive before the date and fans are hoping that we’ll finally get a concrete 2023 release date soon. A report by Windows Central claims that it will release in April 2023. The game was originally revealed in 2019 and has since been in active development, with Blizzard releasing plenty of developer update videos over the past few years.
The official website provides a description of Diablo 4:
“The endless battle between the High Heavens and the Burning Hells rages on as chaos threatens to consume Sanctuary. With ceaseless demons to slaughter, countless Abilities to master, nightmarish Dungeons, and Legendary loot, this vast, open world brings the promise of adventure and devastation. Survive and conquer darkness – or succumb to the shadows.”
Five playable classes will appear in the game:
- The Barbarian – which appears in Diablo II and Diablo III, has the ability to switch between weapons while in combat.
- The Sorceress – returning from Diablo II, is an elemental mage-type character wielding fire, cold, and lightning magics.
- The Druid – returning from Diablo II, can shapeshift between human, werewolf, and werebear forms, and possesses earthen and storm magics.
- The Rogue – returning from the first game, is a quick-moving combatant that alternates between bladed melee or ranged combat with a bow.
- The Necromancer – returning from Diablo II and Diablo III, utilizes dark magic for summoning and attacks.
Diablo 4 releases in 2023 for PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S and PC.
