Diablo IV Development 

Diablo IV’s development journey began with its announcement at BlizzCon 2019, targeting releases on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S. Game director Luis Barriga, known for his involvement in Diablo III: Reaper of Souls and World of Warcraft: Legion, led the project. Inspired by heavy metal aesthetics, the game sought a visual balance between the darkness of Diablo II and the hand-painted style of Diablo III, drawing inspiration from both classical and contemporary artists.

After more than 6 years in development, the game faced setbacks, with Barriga and game designer Jesse McCree departing amid the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing v. Activision Blizzard lawsuit in July 2021. The release date was announced during The Game Awards 2022, with reports of issues in the open beta involving Nvidia RTX 3080 Ti graphics cards, prompting collaborative efforts between Blizzard and Nvidia to address the problems by March 2023.
