Is Diablo 4 Bringing Back the Crusader Class?

Diablo 4 Season 10 has just begun, and whilst players are out and about enjoying the new Chaos Perks and Chaos Armor, some fans found something interesting. Fans have discovered that Konstantin Vavilov, an EX-Blizzard Senior Concept Artist, has uploaded some interesting concept art to ArtStation, which features a silhouette that bears resemblance to Diablo 3’s Crusader.

Crusader In Diablo 4?

Blizzard has talked about that as Diablo 4 evolves over the years, it will introduce more expansions alongside the annual seasons. The first expansion, Vessel of Hatred, continues the story and introduces brand new zones. Most importantly, it brings us the new Spiritborn class.

While these beautiful art pieces focus on the Druid culture, it is a bit odd that the silhouette in one of the key pieces resembles a Crusader, rather than a Druid. Is this simply just a quick thing thrown together, or is there more to this story?

While players don’t have concrete answers as to where we will visit next in Sanctuary, the Cathedral of Light is still active. Perhaps after the countless losses the Cathedral of Light has suffered through the conclusion of Diablo 4’s base game and from the events of Vessel of Hatred, it would make sense for them to seek like-minded aid.

The Crusader is likely one of the next classes on the list for joining the D4 roster, as most of the cast is already present, excluding a few that bear too similar gameplay styles, such as Diablo 3’s Demon Hunter. Players have been hoping for either the Crusader, Witch Doctor, or even the Amazon to make a reappearance eventually.

But what do you think? Would you want the Crusader to be the next class in Diablo 4 or perhaps another class? Maybe something entirely new altogether, like the Spiritborn, or something from the past games?
