After announcing the delay of Diablo IV last November, Blizzard has now announced that the game will be coming in 2023. In addition, Diablo IV will be headed to the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series alongside the PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC, with cross-play and cross-progression for all platforms. On top of all of that, Diablo IV‘s fifth character class has been revealed to be the Necromancer.
In a press release, Blizzard Entertainment president Mike Ybarra stated “We can’t wait to open the gates of Hell next year—the talented team behind Diablo IV puts gameplay first in everything they do, and they have built the biggest and most ambitious vision of Sanctuary yet. This sprawling world draws deeply from the dark well of the franchise’s 25-year history and is designed around the philosophy of player choice, offering an adventure unlike anything Diablo players have experienced before.”
The Necromancer joins the previously-announced Barbarian, Sorceress, Rogue, and Druid classes with “newly designed undead mechanics” in Diablo IV. Utilizing the new Book of the Dead ability, the Necromancer will be able to “dominate the battlefield with deeper customization of their undead army than ever before.”
