I thought the trailer was excellent: Diablo’s depiction of the ancient battle between good an evil is strangely realistic horror. The new video follows-up thegrisly announcement trailerfirst seen at the BlizzCon 2019 opening ceremony, we see Diablo’s avenging angel Tyrael floating above lines of holy soldiers in formation, with spears and shields knit into an impenetrable line. Running headlong into this human wall are Lilith’s demons, looking as menacing and hackable as we’ve seen them in this series.
We’ve already played some Diablo 4, with PC Gamer editor Tyler Colp calling it"the Diablo I’ve been waiting for."
“Diablo 4 reminds me why other action-RPGs don’t do it for me,” Tyler wrote inhis previewyesterday. “It either takes too long to earn enough abilities to formulate a plan or they drop so many on you that it’s overwhelming. Blizzard knows exactly how quickly to fill your spellbook and when to introduce a new wrinkle to get you thinking.”
Diablo 4 will launch simultaneously on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X. The standard edition of the game will cost $70, with an Ultimate edition at $100. Here’s Blizzard’s breakdown of those editions:
