Gamescom Opening Night Diablo 4 Blog Post - Mercenaries Revealed
Blizzard has released a blog post detailing the Diablo 4 revelations from the opening night of Gamescom, including Mercenaries.
While the main Diablo 4 event is taking place during tomorrow's Gamescom Livestream at 6am PDT, Blizzard teased several franchise details for World of Warcraft, Overwatch, and Diablo 4 during Gamescom's opening ceremony. Primarily, Blizzard launched a reveal trailer for Mercenaries, and hinted at more information to come for the Dark Citadel and the Kurast Undercity.
The first expansion for Diablo® IV releases worldwide on October 8, and game director Brent Gibson took to the gamescom stage to introduce the Mercenaries—a new feature coming to Vessel of Hatred™. Mercenaries are your companions in battle, who grow in strength and can be customized to support your playstyle. Each Mercenary is unique in the role they serve, so no matter your class or build, you’ll find a Mercenary that’s right for you. See them in action below!
The team also introduced the Dark Citadel, a new co-op PvE endgame experience that will put everything you know about combat to the test through a series of cooperative puzzles and mechanics, as well as the Kurast Undercity—an intense new multistage, time-attack dungeon that gives you the control over the challenge as well as the loot you will find! Lastly, in preparation of bringing the jungles of Nahantu to players at launch, attendees at gamescom will be some of the first to slay demons as the Spiritborn in a Vessel of Hatred™ demo.
There’s a lot to uncover with these new upcoming features, as well as across the Diablo universe, so Diablo general manager Rod Fergusson, lead game designer Rex Dickson, systems designer Aislyn Hall, and Diablo® Immortal’s™ executive producer Peiwen Yao will be live on August 21, 6 a.m. PDT in the Xbox broadcast at gamescom to share more about what’s to come. You can watch the broadcast on Xbox’s official YouTube, Twitch, and Facebook channels.
