Diablo

Normally, I try and remain calm when there's reason to speculate about upcoming Diablo stuff.

Wisdom does not mean infallibility.

Every game has them, and every player has one they love.

Look let's face it -- it's currently unclear what Blizzard is doing with the Diablo IP.

They are not Paladins.

Game history, especially the history of the development of a game, is essentially like all history everywhere -- it's the story of people.

Last week we talked about what you might expect to see in a Diablo 4 in terms of the story.

The lore of the Diablo franchise has gotten deeper and more involved with every new game, expanding from the small town of Tristram and the catacombs beneath the cathedral there to a globe-spanning adventure that led to Hell itself and finally in Diablo 3 we went to the Heavens and Pandemonium in turn. We've seen nightmarish monsters, Baal's army overwhelm the Barbarians and the destruction of the Worldstone, the siege of the Crystal Arch and the Nephalem stand triumphant against a former Archangel with the power of all seven Evils in its grasp.

Hear me out -- what if Diablo 4 dropped with entirely new classes?

When discussing Diablo 4 and what classes we'd like to see in it, the first thing to realize is that each new Diablo game has introduced new ones.
