PracticalBrush12, a prominent game leaker, has leaked details for Diablo 4 which is expected to be announced at BlizzCon later this week.

According to the leaker, Diablo 4 is going to be a very “dark, gritty, and gross” game filled with flesh and “rotten crypts”. The leaker claims that three classes exist in the game – mage, barbarian, and druid. Other than gameplay details, PracticalBrush12 did not reveal anything about the game’s release date or platforms, so we don’t know whether it’s coming to Nintendo Switch yet.

Industry analyst ZhugeEX has also corroborated the report, saying it’s similar to things he has heard about Diablo 4.

Full details below:

Whatever, I got some news about Diablo 4 for you all and I think you will like it despite what’s been recently happening… If you don’t want – don’t believe me, especially since I can’t provide any sources for this… My “history” could convince you but eh – I won’t force anyone!

Diablo 4 is actually going to look dark, gritty and gross – no more rainbow shiny bullshit this time! Loactions are toned down, infrequently laid with corpses, wasteland, greyish deserts, clut caves surrounded by flesh, rotten crypts, marshes and bogs, plagued cities you name it. They are also seemingly much bigger, maybe even open? Characters now are able to ride horses (possibly other mounts), also there’s contextual interaction with environment ? – climbing a wall Lost Ark style. Blood splatters look more like blood and not splashed jam too.

So far i can confirm 3 classes: mage (uses fire, ice and lightning so far), barbarian (swords, clubs, axes, kicks etc), and druid (lightning, wind, and transforming into beasts – so far bear and werewolf!).

Possibly there will be PvP from the start?. 4 player coop is there for sure.

All this game seems to be is a W I N K to the Diablo 2 fans, Lilith being the new diablo (she’s covered in blood veil kinda), characters being shown sitting at a campfire as character selection, nitty gritty dark style that 2 was praised for, some skills also seem to be just taken from it and put in here (like sorceress’ charged bolt). I’m interested and hope they don’t fuck this up. The company is bad, but the game might not be this time.

2 points with “?” are just because it’s not clear to me tbh… let’s see what they say at the conference

What do you think?
