The new graphics engine allows Blizzard to bet on a new visual direction for its RPG.
There are many things we like about Diablo IV: it has a very vertical and innovative design for its scenarios, great adjustments for statistics and loot; And if you have been putting order in Sanctuary for many years, surely you have found great parallels with the previous games in the classes or the visual section. Of course, that’s completely intentional – it’s a mix of what was seen in Diablo II and Diablo III.
Talking With PC Games N, Art Director John Mueller explains that “Diablo III had a artistic style very picturesque, handmade “, a distinguishing feature that today is not so different, especially if we compare it with the aesthetics of Path of Exile or Victor Vran. That is why Blizzard He opted for a different direction this time, the perfect excuse to recover the darkness of the legendary Diablo II. “With our new engine […] we had the opportunity to bring that gloomy world, but rendering it in a very picturesque way. “
It is undeniable that Diablo 3 achieved very good prints at its launch, but one of the aspects most criticized by the community was precisely the lack of darkness (literal, but also figurative) that characterized Diablo 2. Since the announcement of Diablo 4, Blizzard has tried to satisfy fans with terrifying satanic rituals or a rogue who cuts off the ears of her enemies, for example; without giving up the games of lights and shadows that transform colors into immersive settings with a lot of personality.
At 3DJuegos we have had the opportunity to speak at length with Mueller and other creatives after the game to better understand what it will be like to return to Sanctuary now that it has an open world and the ambition to be hooked for countless hours. Diablo IV has no release date yet, no clues to an alpha or beta – the game will come out (guess what) when it’s ready, following Blizzard’s favorite mantra. In the meantime, we’ll be able to warm up our engines with the remastering of Diablo 2.
