Diablo 4 coming 2023 with cross-play, cross-progression

Say hello to the Necromancer.

Diablo 4 will head to PC and consoles in 2023, offering cross-play and cross-progression between PC, Xbox and PlayStation, Activision Blizzard has today revealed.

The publisher also used today’s Xbox and Bethesda Game Showcase to show off a new character class in the Necromancer.

“Joining the battle alongside iconic classes Barbarian, Sorceress, Rogue, and Druid is the legendary Necromancer, the fifth playable character class, which returns with newly designed undead mechanics. Players will be able to utilize the Necromancer’s Book of the Dead, an all-new ability for the class, allowing them to dominate the battlefield with deeper customization of their undead army than ever before,” Activision Blizzard said.

“Fight with aggressive skeleton Warriors, fast-attacking Skirmishers, sword and board Defenders, or scythe-wielding Reapers. Unleash a litany of spells with Skeleton Mages, imbuing them with shadow, cold, and sacrificial magics. Deploy tanking Bone Golems, health-stealing Blood Golems, and charging Iron Golems. Or sacrifice them all to absorb their power.”

Expect Diablo 4 on Windows PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series S, Xbox Series X, PS4 and PS5 in 2023.
