It answered some really big ones - what happened when Tyrael destroyed the Worldstone, for example - but then introduced some huge new ones, like who is Dirgest or what happened to Leah’s soul or did all seven of the Evils escape the Black Soulstone or is it just Diablo as the Prime Evil. Frankly, all of that needs to be addressed. I like Diablo‘s lore but I’m still a little irritated by how things often seem to just stop or be left as loose ends, and Diablo 3 didn’t really fix that. One place Diablo has always kind of lagged behind is in its story. Make the leap to the next stage in storytelling By max level you need to be comfortable with fighting huge bosses or literal armies of monstrosities and painting the walls, floor and even ceiling with their gore.Ībove all else, Diablo 4 needs to feel like a Diablo game. Power creep isn’t a problem here - it’s necessary. The game must preserve the feeling of seeing dozens of creatures coming your way and preparing to show them the door back to the Burning Hells. Diablo’s Sanctuary is a world constantly on the brink of ruin where heroes who are effectively demigods start off strong and get much, much stronger. There can’t be any getting around this - it’s got to be a core part of the game from the beginning.Īlso, this is a game where demons invade people’s thoughts and transform them into monsters, where powerful heroes wage war against literal armies of foes. You go out, you kill monsters, you get loot that makes you stronger so you can fight harder monsters for better loot and this repeats. Loot and grinding for loot is the heart and corrupted demonic soul of this franchise.

What do I mean by saying that the DNA of the Diablo series must be obvious? Well, for starters, we can’t have missteps like the Real Money Auction House.
So what do we want? What should Diablo 4 look like? So if we’re going to do this, we really should hope to see it done right - we need a Diablo game that holds up the standard for the most famous dungeon crawl RPG ever released. There are a lot of players out there with fond memories of the first two installments and the argument between those who are staunch Diablo 2 partisans and those that prefer Diablo 3 has long split the fanbase. I’ve really enjoyed Diablo 3 and gotten a lot of fun playtime out of it, and I’d like to see Sanctuary make a return and advance the story of the setting.īut the Diablo franchise is a big deal.
This isn’t a hint or a tease - I have no inside information and no announcements, just a burning desire for a Diablo 4 to come out. Before I get started, no, I have heard nothing about a Diablo 4.
