Diablo IV introduces the dark and macabre open world of Sanctuary

Followers of the legendary Diablo universe have marked the June 6th on their calendars, the scheduled release date for Diablo IV. Activision Blizzard is already putting its promotional campaign at the service of all of them, thanks to which we will have access to an open beta and now also a series of videos that take us into the game.

In these videos, called “Inside the Game”, different members of the Diablo IV development team will be showing the most important aspects of the game. The first chapter is already published and has been devoted to Sanctuarythe open world in which this arduous fight between angels and demons takes place, and which you can see below with subtitles in Spanish.

This is the macabre world of Sanctuary in Diablo IV

In this first short film, several of those responsible for Diablo IV, such as Harrison Pink (mission designer) or Joe Shely (Diablo IV director) explain that Sanctuary is a huge world where there is always something new in each area, such as hordes of enemies, towns to hide in, resources to collect, events, quests and much more.

The world of Sanctuary is made up of five unique and well differentiated zones: Kehjistan is an arid desert area with vast sand dunes; Scosglen is inspired by Scotland; the Broken Tops do the same with the Carpathian mountains; the Grim Steppes are a mountainous, desert region; and Hawezar is a swampy area that is located to the south. Any of these areas can be visited on foot or on a mount and the team guarantees that we will do it without loading times.

The developers of Diablo IV say they wanted to make a Diablo II, but with a much more darker and more macabre. We will see that the monsters They are divided into families and that each one offers a different combat through unique abilities. All of them will be present at the various activities that can be done in Sanctuary, such as forts, side quests, locked dungeons, quests, world bosses, or invasion events, among others.

There are still months left for Diablo IV to be released, but this trickle of videos is going to be very interesting for those players who want to get to know the game in depth before purchasing it.
