The blog explains the importance of character art and how the available playable classes are the gamer's window into the world of Diablo 4. Art Director John Mueller, Lead Character Artist Arnaud Kotelnikoff, and Associate Art Director Nick Chilano each take turns offering insight into the process of building unique hero and enemy characters for Diablo 4. The latest quarterly update blog has a heavy focus on character art this time around. The team at Blizzard has a treat for such folks today with the release of the newest installment of its quarterly update blogs for the game. Thanks to the runaway success of each game in the franchise, Diablo 4 has a built-in fan base that is eagerly anticipating any new nugget of information they can get their mitts on. I can't see Blizzard rushing another one out when Diablo 3 is available on both new-gen consoles - but I'm regularly wrong, so whatever.Ever since its formal announcement at BlizzCon 2019, Diablo 4 has been one of the most highly-anticipated game releases. Diablo 3 is still going strong among hardcore players (it's a lot more fun now than it was at launch) and is patched regularly with new content. That would certainly explain those Diablo 4 BlizzCon announce rumours, although that's also a possibility, too. Last time Blizzard added a class to Diablo 3 it came with an expansion, so fingers crossed for a nice big content drop in the near future. The male in the artwork bears a marked resemblance to Xul, a character from Diablo 2 who also appears in Heroes of the Storm. The art's filename was 'necromancer', so naturally the assumption we're all making is that a new necromancer class is inbound.

The art shows a pair of very similar-looking male and female characters, which suggests we're looking at a new Diablo 3 class, as opposed to a character from another Blizzard game.

Although the URL is no longer valid, plenty of people saw it before it was taken down - just like yesterday's Sombra leak. Diablo 3 new class announce incoming? I dig it.ĭiablo 3 players may have something to look forward to at BlizzCon this weekend.Ī new piece of artwork credited to Blizzard art director John Mueller has popped up on the Blizzard Gear Store.
