About
Diablo IV is the fourth main game in the Diablo series of role-playing games by Blizzard Entertainment. The game was announced at BlizzCon 2019.
History
On November 1st, 2019, Blizzard announced Diablo 4 via a cinematic trailer at BlizzCon (shown below, left) and a gameplay trailer (shown below, right).[1] The game's existence had been leaked via a German tweet two weeks prior to the announcement.[2] The game is directed by Luis Barriga. Blizzard reportedly "wants to combine the sense of dread from Diablo 1, the loot chase from Diablo 2, and the combat from Diablo 3." It will release on PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
Online Reaction
Online, Twitter users were excited about the release of the game, but remained upset at Blizzard for its stance in the ongoing Hong Kong Protests. Twitter user Lirik wrote, "I am dead. That was incredible. Diablo 4 people. Wow," gaining over 1,500 likes (shown below, left). User @TripleKyun wrote that it was hypocritical for those participating in the Blizzard Boycott to be distracted by Blizzard's recent run of announcements including Overwatch 2.
