"One one of the problems with placing 'open world' into an enormous neon, and then flashing the sign is that people are influenced by the concept of Breath of the Wild thinking, 'oh it's all natural and I'm free to roam around and do whatever I want'" Fergusson said Diablo IV Gold, as translated by NME.

"That's not really our story. Our story permits non-linearity but there's some story to tell - we wanted to have an opening, middle and end.

"You do not have to explore the story long, that's the nice thing with the open-world," Fergusson added. "There's lots of side quests, a lot of options that aren't on the golden route."

There is a rumour that Blizzard is likely to release Diablo 4 in April 2023. According to reports from the past Diablo 4's tentative "2023" release date can be shortened to April. Early access expected to begin in February, and pre-orders being available as early as the month of April.

ICYMI, Blizzard recently announced that it would be performing closed beta test for "players of all ages who "recently played for a long time in Diablo endgame experiences". Some footage and details from the closed tests have leaked on the internet.

The Albany-based group of Diablo testers have been awarded the right to create a union.

Beyond the procedural dungeons it's the replayable raids that make Diablo quite the lasting experience. With demons from in the Burning Hells nowhere near extinction even after the defeat of the Primordial Evils with Diablo 2, it's up to a new set of warriors in Diablo Immortal to safeguard the realm of Sanctuary. If you've completed the Diablo game's story to date it's not completed, considering the amount of replayable content players can constantly farm to become stronger buy Diablo 4 Gold.
