## Resource

I got to sit down with the team behind Diablo V and ask about where the series is going next, and they shared a lot more about the game than I expected.Diablo V takes place roughly 100 years after Diablo IV in a world where Diablo has effectively won. Sanctuary has been reshaped, Westmarch has fallen, and the survivors left behind are trying to rebuild in a world already conquered by Terror.We talk about Diablo V’s new and returning classes, including the Plague Knight, Demon Hunter and Monk, how combat could evolve, the return of procedural world design, the new caravan system that travels with you, itemization, exploration, and the team’s approach to making Diablo V feel different from Diablo IV.We also discuss the larger class roster, how Blizzard is thinking about movement and combat, the return of fog of war and discovery, and what the team wants players to feel when they step back into Sanctuary.Diablo V is currently targeting Spring 2029.
