Diablo 4 Gameplay Trailer Shows New RPG In Action At BlizzCon

BlizzCon 2019 kicked off with the official reveal of Diablo 4, the upcoming entry in the long-time RPG franchise. While we got to see a lengthy cinematic trailer, a gameplay trailer soon followed that showed three classic classes in action: Barbarian, Sorceress, and Druid.

All three classes call back to Diablo II and the Lord of Destruction expansion pack. Barbarian looks to be a close-range melee class that can dual-wield axes and use a number of physical abilities, while Sorceress is a magic-based class that can combine spells to wreak havoc from long-range. And Druid separates itself from the pack with a spell to transform into a bear of sorts, attack from mid-range with some magic. You can see all this in the gameplay video below.

Diablo IV maintains the classic isometric action RPG formula, but adds more like multi-level terrain with verticality. The game also appears to sport a darker, more realistic looking art style, a slight departure from Diablo III‘s cartoon-ish vibe. The final shot of the trailer shows Lilith in-game, who seems to be the main villain this time around based on the cinematic trailer.

Blizzard president J. Allen Brack says the game has been under development for quite some time–it’s also playable on the show floor. For all our coverage on Blizzcon 2019, check out our stories below:
