BlizzConOnline kicks off in a handful of hours, and while fans are expecting some sort of update on Diablo 4, it looks like the development team just dropped some early and meaty tidbits on how the game is shaping up so far. In the latest update, Blizzard revealed how the grim RPG is handling elements such as storytelling, its open-world, and seamless multiplayer.

BlizzCon may have been a bust in 2020, but one of the oldest names in video games is back with a vengeance in 2021!

The first of those changes were revealed a few hours ago, within the company’s first of several promised quarterly updates.
