Today, as we celebrate the past of this beloved franchise with the announcement of Diablo II: Resurrected, we must also look ahead and seek what fate has in store for us in the next chapter of the Eternal Conflict!
Players will return to the harsh, dark, and unforgiving world of Sanctuary. Set many years after the events of Diablo III, Diablo IV will plunge adventurers into the fray with endless demons to slaughter. A great evil has resurged, and her return will throw the realm into hopeless calamity. This staggering reimagining in Diablo IV combines all the hallmarks of the iconic ARPG series—fierce combat, deep customization through talents, skill points, runes, and the hunt for Legendary loot.
As today marks the first day of BlizzConline on Blizzard's 30th anniversary, there isn't a more appropriate time to shine a light on a mysterious figure who has been lurking in the shadows. In case you missed the BlizzConline Opening Ceremony, we're proud to welcome the latest hero to join the party at the campfire—the Rogue.
The Barbarian embodies brute strength, the Sorceress arcane knowledge, the Druid ferocious savagery, and now the Rogue has arrived to lay waste to the forces of Hell through unparalleled versatility. Rogue players can choose from a variety of ways to stab, shoot, and trap their enemies and can enhance their combat through poisons, shadow magic, and specialized techniques. This class is not just for fans of the original Rogue—Assassin and Demon Hunter players will notice some of our favorite tricks of the trade have come back as well.
