"Once we saw the art we were motivated, [Lilith] was a personality that we can build a story around," Barriga explains. There's a backstory seen in Diablo 4 Gold books and lore books, so we decided to look closer in the creation myth. We believed that we've fought Diablo earlier, and Diablo consistently comes back -- so, it was a example of what other bullets do we have on the table only lying around."
Concerning the idea that every expansion is centered around a new recognizable or entirely new personality, John Muller says that"Diablo IV resembles the first chapter of a book. We wish to tell a story and we want to tell it, hopefully, for a very long time. Treating this like the very first chapter of Lilith and a publication as a key character in this story, it feels great knowing that there are still these other characters which could return later on. Or, new personalities we have not seen before."
This approach should help relieve the situation where Diablo was successively feeling less and less of a hazard when maximum level characters had to battle him. On the other hand it unclear what this means for the monetization aspect. Will players be forced to pay for every new incident? Hopefully Blizzard finds out a way to maintain all expansions free, or at least price each new episode at just a portion of the launch title price.
Though the"Diablo 4" launch date has not yet been officially revealed, interest on the upcoming title has picked up following its preview came out buy Diablo Immortal Gold recently. However, Blizzard is not done teasing players as the titles match and art directors suggested that characters apart from the demon Lilith are currently coming into the franchise. It reveals four adventurers as they battle various monsters while in their way to that which they thought was a grave.
