We could also look for inspiration in the same cultures and locales like developers themselves did. Such a class is perhaps encroaching on the Necromancer’s turf, but a lifesteal-heavy class that could lean into a more aristocratic aesthetic could fit. Pulling from that, a Vampiric character or Blood Knight could fit right in. Blood, for example, features heavily in both the thematic sense of family bonds, but there are also literal buckets of the stuff in the plagued areas.
Now Blizzard loves to retread old ground and bring back past favorites, but what if it wants to try something genuinely new? We’re treading even further into speculation territory here, but we can still pull from themes and ideas in Diablo IV for guidance. In fact, of the classes three are casters of some form or another, so a more physical class would also add some variety. Though the Necromancer has a wall of minions and can wear ornate-looking plate armor, their play style is more akin to a caster. While the Druid can specialize in a tanky Bear form, they are also more of a flexible hybrid able to fill any role. First, there’s only one heavy armor-wearing front-liner: the Barbarian. Now there are a few observations we can make about this lineup. Currently, Diablo IV players can pick between the heavily armed Barbarian, the enchanting Sorcerer, the agile Rogue, the shape-shifting Druid, and the minion-summoning Necromancer. So what potential new classes could we perhaps expect?įirst, let’s take stock of the existing roster to see what roles or concepts might be missing, or what might compliment the starting classes. While Blizzard didn’t announced anything yet, it’s not unreasonable to assume there is potential for more classes to be added to Diablo IV as well, especially since the battle pass system likely means plenty of post-launch support. Similarly, Diablo III’s adventurer roster was bolstered by the addition of the Crusader class in Reaper of Souls and the Necromancer in Rise of the Necromancer.
When Blizzard released the Lord of Destruction expansion for Diablo II, it added the Assassin and Druid characters to the original games’s five class lineup.
