What we Know from the Xbox Showcase 2022

Character Editor: Diablo 4 will not only be darker compared to Immortal or Part 3, but also more individual. In this way, you can adapt your character to your wishes right from the start of your adventure.

Open World: The developers emphasize in the gameplay video that the special aspect of an open world is that it is YOUR adventure. You decide what you want to do and there is no linear path.

• You can contest around 150 dungeons.
• Many surprises await you in the world.
• You can capture strongholds.
• Hostile areas can become friendly cities after defeating all opponents.
• Other cities and dungeons may appear in the game world depending on what you're doing.
• Small story sections that further immerse you in the gruesome world of Diablo 4 appear regularly.
• Events or world bosses await you in the open world, which you can conquer alone or together with other players.

That's multiplayer: You can not only kill world bosses with other players but also play the entire game via cross-play or in couch co-op with your buddies.

Certain zones are designed for PvP - i.e. player versus player battles. If you are particularly good, you will become a champion and will be marked as a special target for other players. Now you are the hunted.

This is the endgame: Typically in Diablo, the endgame, or the actual game, only begins when you have completed the last story mission and reached max level.

• The item spiral keeps you on the ball.
• New dungeons want to be explored.
• Paragon levels need to be increased.
• New endgame content will be supported for years to come.
