Blizzard confirms that unlike what happened with Diablo 3, this time he wants to offer cross-play between all platforms: PC, PS4 and Xbox One.
Although Diablo 3 finally ran out of cross-platform interplay ("does not come into our plans," the developer said), the same will not happen with Diablo 4. At least if we follow the statements of Allen Adham, executive producer of the game , who says Blizzard hopes to offer crossplay on his return to the underworld. “We are very excited about it. We have to work on some technical details with the first parties, but our goal is to have crosspplay in Diablo 4, ”said Adham.
Also for PS5 and Project Scarlett?
Announced for PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, we understand that by first parties, Adam refers to Sony and Microsoft. The crossplay has been one of the struggles of the generation and, although in its day there were several strips and loosens with Sony about it, which was reluctant, users ended up achieving an important victory with their pleas and demands. As a result, in recent years we have been able to enjoy shared communities in titles such as Rocket League, Fortnite and even Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. Blizzard has already assured that Diablo 4 “will not arrive soon” and perhaps the title is one of the first to also include PlayStation 5 and Xbox Project Scarlett.
About the game, which a few days ago we reviewed everything we know, there are already all kinds of relevant details, such as the fact that it will require permanent connection, there will be no auction houses and will have more content than Diablo 3. In the last hours until we have been able to enjoy a 24-minute gameplay of the barbarian, one of the three classes of Diablo 4 next to the sorceress and the druid. A video loaded with playable news, new enemies and unpublished locations, with an aesthetic inspired by Diablo 2, the mangaka Junji Ito (Uzumaki) and the myths of Cthhulhu, as recognized by the creators themselves.
