Q The world of Sanctuary is now one vast

landmass to explore with friends.

Q Once this boss is defeated will you
turn on one another over the loot?

Sorceress; and the Druid. The

barbarian is the big, beefy lad you’d

expect, fond of war cries and body

slams that’ll send the horde reeling

backwards, but he’s also now

something of a blade master and

can rapidly switch between four

different weapon types. The

Sorceress wields powerful elemental

magic, and is capable of a variety

of flashy attacks from lobbing

lightning bolts at foes to raising

jagged peaks of ice to decimate

demons. Lastly, the Druid can fluidly

transform into a variety of beasts

in the heat of combat.

(LAND) MASS APPEAL

Together (or alone) you’ll be able to

explore Sanctuary as one seamless

land mass... or you could just batter

each and every other player you

happen across. But perhaps

partying up and playing nice will be

better? After all it’s easier to loot a

randomised dungeon with friends

than it is with enemies.

BUILD-A-BATTLER

Diablo IV will offer a variety

of customisation options,

from cutting your own path

through your class’s talent

or skill tree to ponying up

on a personalised mount.
