The book is due out on November 3, the day after BlizzCon, which would be a great time to capitalize on the hype of a BlizzCon announcement. Still, the book itself is an official Blizzard product, co-written by Robert Brooks, a senior writer on Blizzard’s creative development team. It’s possible that Panini jumped the gun a little on a reveal or even made a typo: there’s no mention of Diablo 4 (or any specific Diablo title) on the book’s Amazon page. The ad is for the The Art of Diablobook, and it explicitly mentions that it includes art from the Diablo 4. While there have been a number of rumors suggesting Blizzard is hard at work on Diablo 4, this is the closest we’ve seen to confirmation so far.įeaturing over 500 artworks from Diablo, Diablo II, Diablo III and Diablo IV, this book presents many remarkable artworks created for Blizzard Entertainment’s iconic action role-playing game that has given generations of fans endless nightmares.Īccording to GameStar the ad wasn’t directly published by Blizzard, but by its European publisher Panini. It seems unlikely, at least at the time of writing, they would cancel their convention this year, though at least one outlet, the crowdfunded Easy Allies, has already floated the idea of ignoring their announcements anyway.Diablo 4 may be coming soon - at least according to an advertisement printed in German magazine GameStar. BlizzCon 2019 thus comes at an interesting time for the company, which is being boycotted by some and criticized by many.
The suddenly under fire publisher has since cancelled two events, one in Taiwan and another in New York, that were meant to celebrate World of Warcraft and Overwatch respectively. This year, it seems Blizzard may bring players the reveal they've been waiting for, but now that otherwise good news feels shrouded in different controversy following the publisher's move to suspend esports player blitzchung following his pro-Hong Kong comments during the Hearthstone Grandmaster Tournament on October 8. Attendees at BlizzCon last year also got their hopes up for a new Diablo reveal, but were largely disappointed when that reveal came in the form of Diablo Immortal, a new take on the action-RPG designed from the ground up for mobile devices.
