A new hell
Diablo IV is the most recent incarnation of the franchise, it is available since june 6th. Players had to be patient for this one as Diablo III was released in 2012, so over 10 years were required to get this next chapter. Hell almost had time to freeze over.
Synopsis
You wake up in a frozen tundra, your horse and survival gear and rations are all lost. You look for a shelter from the cold when you come upon a small village. The villagers take you in and when they tell you about an evil threatening them, you volunteer to help in a way to repay them. After the evil vanquished, you return to the village and a great party is thrown in your honor. After lots of drinking, you wake up and you are sick, but strangely there are red petals coming out of your mouth. The monk that saved your life explains that it is an ancient ritual that was performed on you and that you were given the blood of Lilith.
New faces
As per the previous one in Diablo IV the players gets to choose the class he wants to play. Some of the classes are back, like the necromancer and the sorcerer. The crusader is no longer offered, for the melee type the player will have to select either the barbarian or the druid. The demon hunter is back to being a regular rogue.
More open
In the new release, the player is presented with a very large map. It is all hidden by the fog of war but as you progress and reveal more of it you realize how large it. Contrary to Diablo III this one is much less linear, you have side quest galore and the quest for the main story do not direct you on a single path, as you can choose to perform certain quest ahead of others.
