Diablo Immortal gained’t have time journey, however it could have extra Diablo 4

There has by no means been a Diablo Immortal armor set I wanted extra in my life than the Hatred’s Heritage assortment. Having rolled and rolled for it within the motion RPG sport‘ Phantom Market, I requested Diablo Immortal‘s lead UX designer Chris Liao and senior narrative designer Ryan Quinn whether or not or not we’ll see one other D4 collab in an unique PCGamesN interview.

Whereas the pair stay comparatively tight-lipped about Lilith infiltrating the world of Diablo Immortal sooner or later, Liao tells PCGamesN that “there have been discussions about crossovers sooner or later.” That’s sufficient to get me excited, and make my financial institution steadiness quiver with terror.

Quinn highlights, nonetheless, that when it comes to narrative, the video games will largely run individually from each other, particularly provided that Immortal bridges the hole between Diablo 2 and three, which means the occasions of Diablo 4 stay far on the horizon.

“We’ve seen occasions that use Ashava the Pestilent from Diablo 4, and I believe if we will get round that timeline problem, we wish to harness as a lot of the Diablo universe as we will,” he tells me.

“However, on the similar time, there’s a steadiness to be struck there. I believe we wish to extra borrow themes and tones and issues that really feel like components of Diablo 4 than essentially characters. We’ve positioned Immortal as going down between Diablo 2 and Diablo 3, and I don’t assume we’re on the stage the place we wish to introduce time journey simply but!”

“That’s simply me spitballing as a narrative man,” he says with amusing, “that’s not on the agenda for proper now.” It’s one thing that, whereas I am keen on Lilith, I’m all for. The sport could be very a lot a separate entity, and already has good ol’ Uncle Deckard – truthfully, what different characters do you want?
