Diablo 4 announced - and it will be dark, very dark, Blizzard says Hell yes. News by Tom Phillips Deputy Editor Updated on 1 Nov 2019 91 comments Blizzard has announced Diablo 4 during this year's BlizzCon Opening Ceremony with a lengthy cinematic.

The reveal of this long-awaited fourth entry into the series comes after last year's disappointing Diablo Mobile debut - which sparked a hellish backlash from fans.
