Diablo 4: 10 Things We Want Blizzard To Include

Yes, The Last of Us does have a multiplayer mode and it’s absolutely fantastic. But the reason Naughty Dog’s epic is on this list is the multiplayer’s focus on teamwork and understanding. Just like in the single player portion, the game’s multiplayer has a severe scarcity in resources and ammunition. Players are almost forced to work together in order to attain vict


It’s becoming more and more common for RPGs to have sprawling and interesting storylines for players to grind through. Diablo 2 had a story that took roughly 35 hours to complete and fans are hopeful Diablo 4 will expand on that by delivering a game that takes 40-50 ho


Many fans are both hopeful and leery of the promised Diablo 4 and whether it’ll be a return to formula, an innovative breakthrough, or a half-handed cash grab. In any case here’s what fans hope for in the upcoming g


First released on PlayStation 3 in 2010, Dead Nation made its PS4 debut in 2014 with the Apocalypse Edition. The top down shooter has friends exploring a post-apocalyptic world full of zombies while looking for any way to survive. The game starts pretty easy, but once it gets going, hordes of zombies are thrown at players making for an exciting co-op g


Whether you grab the original retail version or the Ultimate Evil edition that bundles the main game with the Reaper of Souls expansion, Diablo 3 is a blast to play with up to four players both in local and online play. This widely popular action RPG from Blizzard has five character classes that players and their teammates can choose from that are vital to combine in order to progress on higher difficult

The more probable idea is to split the game into episodes, similar to what was done with Starcraft II over its long development and release. Alternatively, the game could go the route of World of Warcraft , which is to say that Blizzard could release expansions more frequently, perhaps every year or so. These would provide not only a small amount of new content, but also an all-important level cap increase to gate progression for existing players unless they buy in.

Reading the above ideas about Diablo 4 may come off as pessimistic, but again, the point is to consider how a design for the next game would look with a revenue model that would satisfy Blizzard’s expectations, and that of its shareholders. Gone are the days of putting out a game with a single DLC pack and calling it a day. Blizzard, and many others, seek to produce games as a service, and Diablo 3 simply did not cut it. Let us cross our fingers and hope for the best, that Diablo 4 builds 4 both meets our expectations and Blizzard’s - though it’s hard to imagine such an ideal landing spot for the next game.

Finally, Blizzard could also release new classes at halfway points between each expansion. They could start with a basic set of five classes, much like the release of Diablo 3 , and then add our old favorites again, including the Necromancer, Druid, Paladin/Crusader, Amazon, and whatever other fan-favorite classes would ensure another purchase. Unlike expansions, these would not be mandatory, but few would pass up a new class in their favorite game!

Overwatch is perhaps the least demanding of a consumer’s cash as it only has a single purchase point to access the game, but then has the benefit of loot boxes for the many cosmetic skins created for events scattered throughout the year. With that said, the esports push in the Overwatch League (OWL) likely keeps it relevant enough to justify additional development.


Something that would be fun to see in Diablo 4 is having the player become more and more powerful, but never feel like they can throw caution to the wind. It’s a great feeling watching enemies fall before your axe or fire spells, but it gets boring if there’s never any thr

Following the disastrous announcement of Diablo: Immortal at BlizzCon 2018, players were somewhat relieved to learn that Diablo 4 is finally in development. Recently here at TheGamer, we discussed how the failure of the Real Money Auction House (RMAH) was a catalyst that shifted how Diablo 3 was developed, and subsequently abandoned long before its original vision was fulfilled. This included the cancellation of a second expansion called The King of the North, and the rumor of a cancelled Druid class.

When Diablo 3 launched, the RMAH would have meant that players would always be buying and selling items, with Blizzard taking a constant cut of the cash. With that failure out the door, we need to consider how else Diablo 4 could bring in revenue at a pace that would keep its development assured. One option is another RMAH, but that would imply Blizzard has learned nothing from the first attempt. Unlikely, but we should not count it out completely.


That bring us to the end of this rundown of potential changes to make Diablo 4 a force to be reckoned with. Although it may still be some time before the announcement, hopefully Diablo 4 will prove to be relatively close by, and leave players satisfied with what Blizzard has in store for t
