Alas, the troubles of game development reared its ugly head, “We’re going to do this right, we’re going to have a playable demo, by the time we’d hit May, that game wasn’t far enough along. Much like the many shared world shooters out there today, a source familiar with the development remarked that “what if we still had a core Diablo game that just happened to have a bunch of people on the map to do other cool stuff?” This addition of “light MMO elements” could bring a new dimension to the storied franchise.Īll the revelations seem to point towards a positive development circle, in fact, the game was on course for a 2018 announcement.
While another said that “they want to make this gross, make it dark, anything that was considered cartoony in Diablo 3… Make what people were afraid of in Diablo 2, but modern.” “There’s a lot of people who felt like Diablo 3 got away from what made Diablo “Diablo” in terms of art style and spell effects,” mentioned a current Blizzard employee, who claimed the new title would be returning to the roots of Diablo 2 than 3. The team was even considering to move away from the isometric perspective into a third-person over-the-shoulder camera, much like the cancelled Hades, but recent builds seem to have gone back to the traditional camera.
#Diablo 4 cancelled Pc#
Whether PC will get first dibs or will it be a simultaneous console release remains to be seen. Blizzard has reportedly canceled an unannounced StarCraft first-person shooter, instead allegedly deciding to shift resources over to the unannounced Diablo 4 and Overwatch 2 development teams. Though it is still early days in development, Diablo 4 is expected to be released in 2020 or later. “Embrace the darkness” seems to be the general direction for both the game and art moving forward since the start of development since 2016 if sources are to be believed, with most who have seen it being optimistic about the direction. While allegedly it was the team’s primary project for two years, it was eventually cancelled in 2016 due to a rocky development process and comes after the departure of Josh Mosqueira, Diablo 3’s console lead designer. It was supposed to be Blizzard’s take on a gothic, difficult dungeon crawler. Meanwhile, Hades looked set to bring the franchise in a drastically different direction, more akin to D ark Souls.
