Official Gameplay Launch Trailer:

The Book of Loraz:
To dive deeper into the lore of Diablo 4, the developers have started releasing a series of articles. The first one, called "The Book of Loraz," delves into the creation of Sanctuary and introduces major lore characters from both sides of the eternal conflict. These articles provide valuable information and exciting glimpses into the game's rich story.

Playing Diablo 4 for the First Time:
If you're new to the Diablo series, don't worry! The developers have emphasized that Diablo 4 is designed to provide a complete lore experience within the game itself. They will explain and show you everything you need to know to fully enjoy the Diablo 4 story, so you can jump right in without any prior knowledge.

Exclusive In-Game Rewards:
One of Diablo 4's Twitch program partnerships, called "Support a Streamer," offers exclusive rewards. By linking your Twitch account to your Battle.net account and giving two subscriptions to participating Twitch channels between June 5th and July 2nd, you can earn a brand new Primal Instinct mount skin in-game. Remember, early access starts on June 1st or 2nd, depending on your region.

Nightmare Dungeons:
Nightmare Dungeons are a key end-game feature in Diablo 4. These amplified versions of normal dungeons offer increased difficulty and greater rewards. Recently, the developers shared a first look at some of the nightmare dungeon affixes, including the Drifting Shade, Storm Veins Wrath, and Nightmare Portal. Prepare to face challenging encounters and adapt your strategies to overcome these powerful foes.

Co-op Quest Progression:
For those planning to play co-op, it's important to note that the host of the party owns the state of the world in terms of quest progression. If all players are aligned at the same point in the quest line, they will progress together. However, if there is a misalignment, the player who hasn't reached that point in the story won't progress until they catch up. Effective communication with your co-op teammates is crucial to avoid confusion.

No Pay-to-Win and Seasonal Characters:
Diablo 4 will not have any pay-to-win elements. Cosmetic rewards in the battle pass can only be obtained by playing on seasonal realms. Blizzard has confirmed that they aim to keep the game fair and enjoyable for all players.

Crowd Control Mechanics and Boss Stagger:
Diablo 4's game director, Joe Shelley, clarified some mechanics related to critical hit damage, overpower, vulnerability, and crowd control effects. These effects can all occur on the same attack but have separate affixes. When bosses are staggered, they are treated as afflicted by all crowd control types, allowing players to deal increased damage during this window.

Diablo 4 Map and World Size:
The full map of Diablo 4 was revealed, showcasing the vast world players will explore. With only a portion of the game accessible during beta testing, it's clear that Diablo 4 will be the largest Diablo game to date. Get ready for countless adventures and discoveries in this expansive world.
