Diablo 4

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.

Don't get me wrong.

Season 13 of Diablo 3 seasonal play is coming to an end on June 3 with season 14 arriving nearly two weeks later on June 13.

To say Diablo fans are desperate for information on something -- anything -- new out of the franchise would be an understatement.

Before I get started, no, I have heard nothing about a Diablo 4.

For the last two BlizzCons, I've expected a major Diablo announcement — either a new Diablo 3 expansion or a Diablo 4.

We got the BlizzCon schedule this week and, well, if you're a Diablo fan...

The last time we saw content for Diablo 3 was in Jaunary.
