BlizzCon 2019 brought with it the announcement that the long-awaited Diablo IV is now officially happening. Although it'll be a while before we descend into Hell to smite all manner of demons, the announcement resulted in a swathe of online opinions being shared.
David Brevik, designer on Diablo 1, was one of the people to chip in and offer their opinion on Diablo 4, doing so in a positive key.
Diablo 4 David Brevik Opinion
"Overall, I think that Diablo 4 looks good", he said. He then went on to point out how Blizzard looks towards the grittier Diablo 2 when it comes to the upcoming ARPG's graphics, calling the gothic-inspired artstyle "cool".
Another point Brevik brought up was how Diablo 4 marks a return to skill trees, which were absent from Diablo 3. He then concluded with saying that "Overall, it seems like something that [he] would design.". You can check out the full clip over on Twitch.
Diablo 4 does indeed seem to look towards both Diablo 3 and Diablo 2 for inspiration. The Druid class is making a comeback with more fluid shapeshifting to boot, while runes and runewords will also be part of the game's take on item customization.
To top things off Lilith, a significant character in Diablo lore responsible for birthing the Nephalem, returns in Diablo 4 and likely with not-so-honorable goals in mind.
