Well in a variety of ways Diablo IV's story is a love

"Well in a variety of ways Diablo IV's story is a love letter to our fans D2R Items," Shely said. "We've put a lot of focus on the topic of turning back the darkness. We know that when we develop the Diablo game, gamers have high expectations of Diablo:R Diablo and the previous Diablo experiences they've played.

So we know that we've got plenty of things that actually should be there. As we consider the classes themselves we wanted to make sure that the kind of experiences that players remembered fondly from previous Diablo games were made available and also brought them into the most modern versions of them."

A few of Diablo IV's classes, though not new in terms of technology but haven't been played in quite a while. The Rogue Returns from the first Diablo and is a mix with Diablo's Amazon and Assassin classes. Also, the Druid from Diablo also makes an appearance. Each of the other classes, including the Barbarian, Sorceress, and Necromancer--have been included in Diablo, III, and Diablo Immortal.

Diablo community manager Adam Fletcher recently confirmed the strategy to eventually offer additional paid content for Diablo IV (in addition to optional cosmetics through an in-game shop) So it's possible new classes could be added to the game following launch. Diablo Immortal is slated to receive new classes over time as free updates. Players have already been able to identify a possible franchise first class, that of the Blood Knight.

Diablo IV is set to launch in 2023 following departure of the game's former director who was in place until 2021. It was the wake of various litigations and investigations related to the alleged culture of sexual discrimination and harassment at Activision Blizzard buy diablo 2 resurrected items. The moment Diablo IV does release, it will feature cross-play, as well as cross-progression across consoles and PC.
