Most of the leaked images and videos of the private beta have been pulled from sites like Twitter, but can still be found around the web (like the gaming leaks and rumors subreddit).Īs Diablo IV is still in development, details like the difficulty and customization options seen in the leaks are still works-in-progress and could change between now and the game's official release, which is slated to arrive sometime in the first half of 2023. The leaks are believed to be from a 'friends and family' private beta for Diablo that is currently ongoing, according to reports. Given the franchise's history, it seems a safe bet that Diablo IV will have more difficulty options for higher-level, endgame characters, but what exactly those settings will look like still remains to be seen. Diablo III has five base difficulties (Normal, Hard, Expert, Master, and Torment), with the hardest, Torment, being broken down into 16-different tiers of challenge. Diablo II, for example, has three difficulties (Normal, Nightmare, and Hell) which are unlocked by completing the game with a character on each difficulty in order. Veteran, on the other hand, is more challenging and is recommended for longtime players of the franchise that 'want to be tested.' Playing on Veteran difficulty will award better loot, more gold, and more XP.ĭiablo as a franchise is known for having numerous difficulty settings. Enemies will be weaker on the Adventurer difficulty (which is recommended for new Diablo players) and will drop average loot.

When it comes to difficulty settings, at least at the start of Diablo IV, it looks like there will be two-Adventurer and Veteran. Now Playing: Diablo 4 - Official Xbox Gameplay Showcase By clicking 'enter', you agree to GameSpot's
