In Diablo IV, the Druid class is making a return, capable of transforming into several animals, such as the bear that can deal massive physical damage with some limitations (because let’s face it, a bear has a bigger body, and thus, somewhat slower speed). So this time, the PlayStation 4 and the Xbox One (and let’s be honest, the PlayStation 5 and the Xbox Project Scarlett as well, even if they didn’t announce the game for these platforms… yet) will also get an always-online version of the game. Campaign quest areas will remain private,” lead designer Angela Del Priore said. You can play solo and dungeons are private. „We are not going to support an offline mode, but as I said before, nothing in Diablo IV is going to require partying up.

Just like how Diablo 3 had none on PC (while the console owners got lucky on this aspect – the reason here seems obvious: cutting back piracy on PC…). Now, for some bad news: Diablo IV will not have an online mode either. This comment revealed that Diablo IV is inspired by a Japanese manga artist named Junji Ito (Uzumaki, Gyo, Tomie…). „Junji Ito and some of the elements he brings in, kind of taking mundane things and twisting them, creating horror elements within that – then there’s the Cthulhu mythos and some of the horror elements there, especially the fear of the unknown,” lead quest designer Jason Roberts added. We consider it the true Diablo, and we want to hit those tones again,” lead artist Matt McDaid explained. „The developers on the team enjoy Diablo 2 the most and what resonates with us is that dark element, the dark factor.
