Apparently - this also has picked up the attention of some websites as well - I really have no opinion on this. I just want BlizzCon to happen already to find out the truth. - Website reports -
"I do have a friend that's affiliated over at Blizzard and I do know a few things here and there. However, I do not know everything 100% and I do not want to discuss his position or relationship with the company due to obvious reasons.
With that out of the way you can take this statement for what it is. I advice you take it with a grain of salt because anyone can say anything on the internet, the rest is up to your personal feelings.
I am not in any position too make myself look special or better than others or to brag about anything. I am here because it is exciting time for the fans (including myself) and everyone has their questions and opinions and ideas and there plenty of people who are thirsty for any kind of information they come and get. Well today is the day I decide to shed some light among Sanctuary.
Lets get to the meaty stuff.
° The next Diablo game is going to be fully Open World. All physically fluid in and out like World of Warcraft/Fallout/Assassin's Creed Oddysey etc..
° It's a sequel, Internally there are 2 names that they've been bouncing back and forth. Diablo 4 or Diablo: World of Sanctuary. Chance are most likely they'll stick with Diablo 4 for consistency.
° It is NOT single player only like the 4chan leak was suggesting and it has multiplayer and multiple classes. Class systems and multiplayer core parts of what makes a Diablo game.
° It will be played in a isometric view and most importantly it's an isometric MMO. So basically, think of the games like Lineage Eternal or Lost Ark but done by Blizzard and is in the Diablo universe.
° You can go anywhere and do anything whether that'd be quests, dungeons, slaying random mobs or even PvP among many other cool activities.
° There is a mainline quest line with a main plot that can be played solo with friends and other random people. However, there are no seperate acts. The world is giant and free. Most of your time though you'll be spending time on side activities.
° There is PvP, but I don't know exact details how it works.
° You can see and meet other people in towns and regions.
° I am not sure what the server capacity is or how many people a town or a zone/region can hold.
° It's running on a brand new engine that looks very modern and clean. (I think this is obvious anyways)
° The game is a lot darker than Diablo 3 but still stylized. Not ultra realistic, but dark enough. Think of Dark Souls artstyle but a tad less realistic. But yet close enough. It's hard to describe without seeing.
° I have no details in regards to some of the more core important stuff such as loot system (arguably the most important), how stats work, how many levels there are and what the endgame is like.
° However, I can assure you this will be treated as a live service game similar to Heroes of the Storm, World of Warcraft and Overwatch where you get in game events, special cosmetic items and etc. There will be always things to do and in a good Blizzard fashion they will be adding new systems over time and polishing the game throughout its life.
° Classic classes returning such as Barbarian, Sorceress, Amazon, Necromancer, Paladin.
° I have no information in regards to Diablo 1 or 2 Remaster.
° The game was being developed ahead of time with next gen consoles in mind. The game will be coming to PS5 and project Scarlett (Next Xbox) at some point in time.
This a next generation Diablo game but as we all know blizzard is great with optimization so don't be fearful about your pc setup as of now.
