Devour the Webtoons of Sanctuary

Over the years, Blizzard has released several books, detailing the journeys and perspectives of some of Sanctuary's most iconic characters. These books have highlighted the stories of Deckard Cain, Tyrael, Adria, and most recently Lorath.

Safety is a far-fetched concept in Sanctuary, only momentarily becoming tangible during the Harvest Bounty holiday…cling to it tightly, adventurer.

Diablo 4's developers have offered up a slight tease about the sought-after 'cow level'.

Should you expect to see Master Chief or his iconic MJOLNIR armor appear in Diablo 4 anytime soon? The game's associate game director laughed off such a suggestion at BlizzCon 2023, with Brent Gibson telling me that "fans have speculated about all sorts of collaborations" following the acquisition of Blizzard Entertainment by Microsoft Gaming. 

Some players reckon Priest will be the next class added to Diablo 4, while others are praying it's Paladin.

With Diablo 4 embracing a live service structure for the very first time, it's difficult to know exactly how Blizzard will handle the release of key expansions. Associate game director Brent Gibson sought to provide some clarity at BlizzCon 2023, telling me that "we're not going to pause" the seasonal structure when Diablo 4: Vessel of Hatred launches next year. 

IGN had the chance to speak to Diablo 4 production director Tiffany Wat and associate game director Joe Piepiora at BlizzCon 2023, and they dropped a pretty big hint about the highly sought-after but yet-to-be-confirmed Cow Level.

Sanctuary beckons you forth, wanderer. At BlizzCon 2023, associate game director Brent Gibson, production director Tiffany Wat, lead game producer Kalyeigh Calder, game director Joe Shely, and associate director of community Adam Fletcher, gave a tantalizing glimpse into the future of Diablo IV. Toward the end of the Campfire Chat, the team answered questions from the community, collected from players at BlizzCon and afar. To watch the Developer Campfire Chat in full, check out the replay at the end of this article.

Diablo 4's first expansion will arrive sometime late in spaceyear 2024, but it's also a throwback to Diablo 2. That's because Vessel Of Hatred is all about one of the Prime Evils, Mephisto, who auld players would have slain in that most-beloved of hack-and-slashers. It's also going to add a new character class "never before seen in the Diablo universe."

Surprise! Diablo 4 only came out a few months ago, but there’s already a brand new Diablo game in the works. Two, in fact! The twist? These will be tabletop adaptations of Blizzard’s action-RPG series, taking Diablo into the realm occupied by Dungeons & Dragons and Catan.

Diablo 4 players might want to hold off on fighting Duriel until tomorrow, October 31, as there's a patch going live that'll make boss fights considerably more rewarding.
