screenrant.com:

Blizzard has given a release window for Diablo IVand announced that a new class will be coming to the game, confirming Necromancer as the fifth and final class. The long-anticipated fourth instalment in the Diablo series was delayed in 2021 much to fans' disappointment. Until now, Blizzard Entertainment had not given a firm answer as to when players could expect to see the next title in the innovative RPG series.

The long-running Diablo series is a dark fantasy role-playing series set in a world called Sanctuary. Although stories have varied between games, the main element of the Diablo series is the conflict between humans and demonic monsters. Players can select from a variety of classes in-game, each of which granting different powers. In past titles, classes have included Monk, Barbarian, Wizard, Demon Hunter, and more. Blizzard Entertainment first announced Diablo IV at BlizzCon in 2019, teasing that the new entry would focus more on the darker, more morbid side of the Diablo franchise.

New Diablo IV footage was shown during the Xbox and Bethesda Showcase this week, revealing a new class and as well as a release date window. Blizzard Entertainment has confirmed that the game will release in 2023, and teased that a new style of play will be added to the game through the Necromancer class. Necromancers can utilize the Book of the Dead to create a fierce undead army. A Blizzard Entertainment press release also mentions new magic abilities, stating that players can "unleash a litany of spells with Skeleton Mages, imbuing them with shadow, cold, and sacrificial magics."
