Diablo V ditches fixed bases for caravan travel, adds Plague Knight class

4gamer.net (Japanese)

At BlizzCon 2026, Blizzard announced Diablo V, set in a Sanctuary already conquered by Diablo, featuring three playable classes including the new Plague Knight. The game begins after the apocalypse, not before it. Players are heirs of Westmarch, fleeing a kingdom turned into a hellish outpost. The game abandons fixed bases for caravan travel with companions, and the world changes when players are away. Item systems draw inspiration from Diablo II. Development is early, with regular updates planned from 2027 to gather player feedback. The remaining classes and further details on combat and builds will be revealed later.
