Three years after the announcement, the time has finally come: We know when Diablo 4 will be released. As announced at the Game Awards, the long-awaited action role-playing game is coming on June 6, 2023. And despite all justified skepticism, things are already looking pretty good. Diablo expert Fabiano was allowed to play the whole first act and had a lot of fun, although there is still untapped potential:

Maurice was also allowed to try Diablo and also couldn’t get enough. In his video, he reports on his experiences and also goes into the construction sites that still exist.

But Diablo 4 doesn’t leave it at a mere display of the release date, but attaches it to a new story trailer that prepares you for an epic battle between heaven and hell:

We didn’t know much about the story of Diablo 4 so far, but a leak revealed more about what villain Lilith is planning darkly this time. The campaign will also be the top priority of the action role-playing game and is said to be the longest Diablo story to date at around 35 hours.
What else is there to know about Diablo 4?
Despite the many positive signs, there are still many question marks about Diablo 4. For example, Fabiano worries about the open world, which he believes could break a lot. In the podcast, we also discuss whether the open world has the potential to make the action role-playing game better or could be more of a threat to Diablo 4:

Another elephant in the room is the topic of microtransactions and Pay2Win. After Blizzard delivered an extremely problematic example of in-game purchases with the mobile offshoot Diablo Immortal and Diablo 4 is also said to contain microtransactions, many fans have become cautious. Maurice has therefore thoroughly analyzed the Diablo 4 shop to answer the most pressing questions:

How good Diablo 4 will be in the end will only become apparent after the release, when we can play the full story, experience the whole open world and see the extent of the microtransactions.
