Diablo IV has been officially announced

Blizzard has the fourth game in their Diablo series. Diablo 4 will be an action isometric RPG, will have three classes (Barbarian, Sorceress, and Druid), and its new "diablo" will be Lilith.

The game will be darker and grittier than Diablo 3, and will have a similar style/tone to Diablo 2. Locations will be toned down, infrequently laid with corpses, wasteland, grey-ish deserts, clut caves surrounded by flesh, rotten crypts, marshes and bogs, as well as plagued cities. These levels will be larger than Diablo 3's levels. Characters will now be able to ride horses (possibly other mounts) and there might be contextual interaction with environment. Blood splatters will also look more like blood and not splashed jam. Diablo 4 is in development for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC (no sign of Nintendo Switch) but there's no release date as yet.

Diablo IV is the newest incarnation of the genre defining ARPG players have come to know and love. Hellish new features, brutal challenges, and an indisputable return to darkness lie at the core of our hard work. Take a glimpse into the terror that awaits.

Wait, did they just rename Path of Exile into Diablo IV?

Edit:
But yea, this is a Diablo I can play... totally skipped III due to cartoony, childish graphics.
Hope it will be.... decent.

Doesn't look very good. This isnt a true blizzard game but a rush job because of last blizzcon and the diablo mobile disaster. RIP Blizzard
