The watch for Diablo 4 got a bit more excruciating today because of an exciting new developer video centered on class and player customization.
The seven-and-a-half-minute-long video dives deep into simply how much care Blizzard has had into allowing players a chance to customize their classes and characters as part of your before within the franchise.
“In previous Diablo games you'd be mounted on certain archetypes and appear a certain way, as well as in Diablo 4 it’s really your decision how you would like your character to appear,” said Adam Jackson, lead class designer. “As far as aesthetics, heaven is the limit.”
Diablo 4 is touting more transmog options than in the past, too, with Blizzard stating that “everybody’s going to appear completely different” within the game.
Customization doesn't end at looks, though. Playstyle can also be highly customizable, because of the skill tree for every class, which players reached try out within the beta. All of the game’s five classes have a number of different paths to consider, nodes to completely unlock, and talents to upgrade for any variety of different playstyles.
Things get even deeper within the late game using the Paragon Board, something that truly fleshes out previous Skill Tree unlocks with such things as additional Strength or Dexterity, resulting in even more powerful buffs that may tweak specific abilities.
The Paragon Board looks pretty complex and it is something that will probably appeal to probably the most hardcore Diablo players seeking to customize their play and experience tenfold.
Diablo 4 launches worldwide on June 6, with early access for several editions of the game going live as soon as June 2.
