Yikes.Īlongside the world and those within it, Diablo 4 has also had several new mechanics implemented. Even worse is that when you kill it, it explodes into tiny spiders that then come after you. The Spider Host is one, which is a monster that attaches to a corpse and controls it in battle. ![]() And alongside some of the more familiar monsters, there's been some new additions. They've also been designed to match the locations that they're in, so whether you're in snowy Fractured Peaks or the swamps of Hawezar, the beasts will fit in with the region. Not only that, but they each have unique abilities and can bolster each other in combat, so you'll have a fresh experience with each encounter. Not only will you have a massive amount of character customization options to go through, but story cutscenes have now been rendered in their engine with the game models as well, so you can fully admire your creation during cutscenes!Īnother point expressed in the 'Inside the Game' developer interview above is that the monsters have also gone through quite the redesign to look a bit scarier for the game's tone. We built a robust character customization system that is entirely new to Diablo and it was a daunting amount of technical character work." In a developer blog on Blizzard's website, Art Director John Mueller explained that they paid a lot of attention to detail with this game, with improvements to, "the surfacing of complex materials like skin, cloth simulation, hair, fur, metal, even down to the details of the highlights of the eyes and rivulets of perspiration. When creating your character in Diablo 4, you'll have a wide variety of options to choose from. Once defeated, these can actually become outposts filled with friendly NPCs for you to interact with!Īnd with a world this big, it's important to have a way to get around, so it's great to see that mounts will also be available for you! You can find these mounts in numerous ways as well, from solving puzzles to defeating certain monsters.Īccording to Blizzard's developer blog for Diablo 4, you can also attach trophies to your horse's saddle "to signal to other players that completed an obscure challenge in the zone." You can also find a variety of activities throughout this open world, including PvP zones, world bosses, and places like Camps that have been overrun by enemies. All of the dungeons within certain regions match the environments as well. In a recent developer interview that takes a look inside the game's creation, senior quest designer II Harrison Pink explains that, "making sure it felt geologically true was really important," so walking from one area to the next will also show the transition that takes place in the environment to make it swampy, snowy, or dry and deserted. What's truly incredible about this open world is how beautifully it all connects. ![]() While roaming around, you'll encounter five zones that are completely different from each other: Kehjistan is a desert locale, Scosglen is a foresty region, Fractured Peaks is a snowy region, the Dry Steppes is a more mountainous region, and Hawezar is the swampy section of this open world. ![]() Unlike previous Diablo games, the world of Sanctuary is yours to freely explore.
