Diablo 4 has been a long time coming since it was first announced at BlizzCon in 2019. The long-awaited sequel to Diablo 3, which still enjoys a healthy player base more than 10 years later, promises another round of dungeon-crawling full of deadly traps, fearsome monsters, and of course, epic loot.
