We’re grateful to have you with us on this journey. Later this year you can expect to hear more about how we plan to support Diablo IV after launch, including our plans for Seasons. We hope you enjoy this update and look forward to your thoughts and reactions. As you’ll see below, the Book of the Dead focuses on this idea of choice and what kind of Necromancer you want to be.

It shapes how we approach many of our systems, from character customization, to the density and layout of our open world, to the design of our classes and builds. We’ll also look at a selection of the incredible armor and weapons that Necromancers can use.ĭiablo IV is committed to the principle of player choice. You can think of this blog as a companion to that announcement, with our Lead Class Designer Adam Jackson doing a deep dive into the core playstyles of the Necromancer, some of its skills, and its unique class mechanic: Book of the Dead. Now that it’s been announced on the big screen, we can jump into some of the grittier details and mechanics of the class. Today, we’re going to look at the final launch class: the Necromancer. The Immortal team worked incredibly hard to bring Diablo to life on mobile, and it’s exciting to have another way to enjoy Diablo.

I’d also like to take a moment to congratulate Diablo Immortal on its launch. That blog and our previous updates are available here if you missed out. We hope you enjoyed last quarter’s behind the scenes look at the art of Sanctuary and its Dungeons. Hello and welcome to the mid-year Diablo IV Quarterly Update.
