Barriga describes the design of the world as filled with content driven by the main story but also much that can be discovered along the way through exploration.

While the crafting system has not been detailed much so far, we are excited to see how it plays into the long-term progression of the g

Diablo 4 was officially announced in November 2019, with the game launching in June 2023.
