Blizzard Entertainment and the Diablo IV development team are proud to share with you how we bring the world of Sanctuary to life with showcases from our amazing Character Art, Technical Art, Animation, and VFX Teams. We have Story driven In-Game Cinematics and intuitive Gameplay Animation to VFX that highlight the World and Define Combat. We have Rigs and tools that allow us to make amazing content and physics that make each gore filled death satisfying! Our Characters and items that have brought Diablo to life like never before, are here for you to see up close and personal. Our amazing art team at Blizzard, along with our co-developers have redefined, reimagined, and delivered a beautiful and dangerous world where the eternal struggle between angels and demons is ever present at each bloody and rewarding turn.
Creating an open world and filling it with living breathing monsters, characters, items, and story is a huge task – one our team was excited to tackle. Experiencing the journey of your created hero, witnessing the fantasy of them coming to life and embarking on a powerful quest to confront Lilith is a powerful and engaging story. Not to mention smashing demons in nightmare dungeons, upgrading items for more power, tweaking your paragon boards for that unique build, and finalizing it by showcasing an amazing look for your hero is a tremendously fun and immersive experience. To do this our developers are passionate, collaborative, and focused on creating the best Diablo experience for our players. Everyone involved in the Art Blast left a lasting mark on Sanctuary. Crafting amazing worlds and Larger than life characters all while striving towards ‘gameplay first’ as our core pillar. Diablo IV begins as our own creation. We play it, we iterate on it, we test it, we collaborate, and we brainstorm ideas. We do this knowing it will eventually not be our game anymore. It will be yours. Thank you for being a hero to Sanctuary and taking the time to enjoy the amazing craftsmanship that goes into such a huge and rewarding project.
