blizzard Ad Leak Confirms Diablo IV Reveal at BlizzCon 2019

[Stan 5,252]

The Art of Diablo is a book showcasing Diablo art that will release after BlizzCon on November 3. The German GameStar magazine comes with an ad for the book ahead of BlizzCon claiming the book contains art from the upcoming Diablo IV title.

A rough translation from German tells us the book contains more than 500 memorable artworks from Diablo, Diablo II, Diablo III, and Diablo IV. The book will become available on November 3, right after BlizzCon.

A few days ago, we looked at a leak which talked about Diablo IV in addition to a Diablo II Remaster and Overwatch 2 to be unveiled at BlizzCon. This would be the second leak in a row to talk about the unveiling of the the next Diablo game at the event.

Here's a preview of the book taken from Amazon:

Diablo IV was reportedly in development when Reaper of Souls came out and got rebooted after two years, because it wasn't shaping well, so they came up with the Rise of Necromancer DLC for Diablo III to make up for the canceled project.

Based on our latest article on Diablo IV, we know the current iteration of the game has been in development only since 2016 under code name Hades with Luis Barriga as Game Director, who has worked on World of Warcraft in the past.

A GameStar ad released ahead of BlizzCon teases Diablo IV artwork of an upcoming book.

Interesting, whether it's intentional or just a slip up.

Now you're just making stuff up. The fact that Diablo IV concept art exists means that it was made at some point in time (probably early development stage). Diablo III was in development hell for like 11 years or so?

This doesn't confirm anything, really.

I'm not sure about  the leaks and the possibility of a new Diablo, but the book looks awesome!

Somebody's *filtered* is being fired for this.

[Misuteri 26]

Prepare for micro-transactions, loot boxes and subscriptions.

I don't get the surprise. It's a well known fact for quite some time now that they are working on Diablo IV, so obviously it can be mentioned in an artbook.

Much more likely that these supposed "leaks" are intentional, trying to drum up hype (and distract us from a certain media kerfuffle).

I thought Rise of the Necromancer was salvaged from the remains of the cancelled D3 expansion, "King of the North" or whatever slightly lame name they had attached to it.

I wonder if they'll announce Diablo 4 and the remaster at teh same stime.
