What could have been a featureless, bland expanse is, instead, a delight. Perhaps Diablo 4’s most adventurous quality is the move towards an open world in the 'modern' sense. Like the other brief mortals of Sanctuary, in Diablo 4 we must play the cards we are dealt as best we can. It may feel ruthless, but it also serves to give your choices meaning. For every skill you pick, there are, perhaps, a dozen that you have had to pass up. This sense of fearful exploration melds seamlessly with the game’s mechanics, doubling down on this theme of mortal limitations. The game’s imposing art style bores into your skull with the inexorable regularity of a jackhammer The open world of Sanctuary is richly detailed and foreboding – a fact that the game’s consistent stylistic refrains don’t let you forget. Diablo 4 kicked down the door to my imagination and now lives there rent-free, complete with the obligatory contingent of skulls and gargoyles. The game’s imposing art style bores into your skull with the inexorable regularity of a jackhammer. Rather, you step into the role of a character who is, despite their role as protagonist, undeniably limited and mortal. The game’s plot, art style, and mechanics all skillfully converge on a single point: the conflict between dark and light, and the poor humans who get caught up in the cosmic mess.

What does that have to do with a Diablo 4 release date announcement? Nothing directly, but if Blizzard does hope to get the game out by April, those testers will be expected to get the lead out to help it ship on time. A result is expected on or after November 18th. Employees can now vote to formalise the union, and have their ballots in hand. The group’s petition to the US National Labor Relations Board was accepted in October. Some of that material has found its way online, with a major leak of footage arriving in the wake of the recent Grand Theft Auto VI leaks.Īnother recent story: a group of Diablo 4 testers working for Blizzard in Albany have also recently won the right to unionise. The most recent Diablo 4 closed beta involved endgame content.
The Game Awards would, therefore, make a convenient stand-in. That would certainly make sense - since stories about its workplace culture became public scandals, Blizzard no longer has an end-of-year IRL BlizzCon event it can use to announce major release dates. The current thinking is that, if Blizzard has anything to announce, it will come during The Game Awards, which are set for December 8 (which will be Dec 9, here in Australia). Further, both have reporting that suggests early access could kick off in February, and preorders as early as December.

Or at least, that’s the story from both the Xbox Era podcast and Windows Central (and spotted by Eurogamer), both of which seem to agree that Diablo 4‘s (currently tentative) 2023 release window is a Q2 affair.
