Diablo 4 screenshots6/22/2023 ![]() There’s a reason y’all keep clamoring for a remaster, and that’s because you can’t see a blasted thing in that game. Okay, I’ll just say it - Diablo 2 looks like a butt. The second thing I think is, “ Wow, glad we dodged that bullet.”ĭiablo 3’s use of lighter colors is arguably more effective It’s hard to dispute what Kotaku had to say about them - this indeed would have been a much darker game in terms of what you could actually see. It is indeed less colorful, although admittedly there are no mobs visible and nothing is exploding in a shower of gore, which tends to add some reds to this otherwise grey, muted art style. The first is that wow, this game would have looked a lot more like Diablo 2 than what we got in Diablo 3.

Official beta access is coming, though Blizzard previously promised first dibs to those who get an actual Diablo 4 tattoo permanently branded upon their skin. ![]() ![]() Interest is high in Diablo 4, which is the big sequel in Blizzard's role-playing series currently slated for release in 2023. Images and video currently circulating show the game's title screen, character customisation and other initial options, such as game creation and difficulty selection.įootage published to Twitter over the weekend is now offline, but still sits on other social media services, reddit and Imgur.Īs ever, it's worth bearing in mind this is all work-in-progress stuff, and subject to change before the release of the full game.
