Blizzard has announced Diablo 4 with a dark cinematic and also a gameplay trailer. Looks like a proper Diablo game.

Also announced the new World of Warcraft expansion Shadowlands with cinematic and features overviewy.

Overwatch 2 announced with a pretty cinematic

Hearthstone's next expansion is Descent of Dragons. here's the cinematic.

Here's the whole opening ceremony.

Edit:
According to PCGamer, Diablo 4 has an online 'shared open world' and a non-linear campaign. Hope that online part doesn't transform it into an MMO.

Edit 2:
Another PCGamer article points out that "Diablo 4 will not have an offline mode, and the game is 'not coming anytime soon"

New Diablo? Does that mean we'll stop boycotting Blizzard now? :P
I mean, if you're going to compromise on human rights, a game about demon lords corrupting humanity seems like the way to go.

Either way, the graphics in that trailer look pretty sumptuous.

At least they can count past 1 with Diablo.
WoW is just a blatant cash grab by now.

most of wow revenues are from microtransactions. the audience is basically sheep consummers that don't question anything and just throw money at anything that is shown to them

I agree.

Btw i always enjoyed D1 way more then D2. When i finally got my hands in D2 i liked lots of things about it, but it felt more generic and longer for the sake of being longer, and all the different biomes failed to speak 'its diablo' to me. I think i got too much stuck in d1s atmosphere then the gameplay. The gameplay afterall was quickly copied by many, so today the gameplay matters even less then when d2 was big- now more then ever that d1 atmosphere is the most iconic thing they have. Sadly they seem to be going full d2

Hmph. There’s two things that could have excited me—a new Starcraft campaign, or Lost Vikings 3. As neither of these has been announced, I shall go back to ignoring Blizzard again.

edit: I lie. More REAL Warcraft—none of this MMO and certainly not the remaster—would actually be pretty sweet too.

Tuned in for Diablo 4, Starcraft 3 and Warcraft 4. Obviously wasn't expecting all 3 to be announced at the same Blizzcon. The online stuff still got some good cinematics.

Diablo is possibly my favorite game franchise so... I wouldn't mind a new game, as long as it's better than D3 was. I'm just not going to buy it on release.

D4 looks nice, pretty hype-worthy. Time will tell.

isn't this trailer gameplay of D4 pretty similar to the mobile phone game????
i mean even D2 skills was better and more visual than this D4..... they show only 2 characters (mage and barbarian?? well or druid because he transform in a bear...)

the full gameplay looks a lot as a mobile phone, a few monsters groups even more little than D2 group of monsters, and one of the boss it's really similar to Duriel from D2 for the god sake that monster have the same animation of Duriel..... but with really nice graphics.

the camera it's too close.. feels like a 800x600 resolution.... so we can expect 0 long range skills or chain skills

to the good side, the graphics are really cool for a trailer, but for what i saw the game only have graphics and cinematics, the content they show to us it's ridiculous.

what i saw in that two videos instead of make me hype it's the opposite... i expect being a ultra good graphics game and cinematics with shit content, another moneygrab game using the diablo franchise.

we will see in the future with more videos and more info... i hope to be wrong.....

i think they will sort of abandon 3 in favor of 4 and get people to migrate to 4 with their usual tricks such as promotions, decreasing the quality of [old] in purpose to get people to move to [new], giving all attention to 4 while ostracizing 3 to deter players from playing/staying on 3 with the threat of being left behind "alone". or maybe "tie" 3 and 4 together, again with eases to access 3 (promotions, packages, crossplay maybe) to passively assure it a minimal population and attention all while basically serving as an ad for 4 (a bit like wow "classic" vs "retail")

this is diablo game... they will not need do that.. the first day of d4 d3 will die instantly.

i bet you don't played D1 or D2, not offense what you said it's really really blizzard identity but anyone who played the real diablo games.... well... should know it.. just remember the people that went to the blizz thing where the guy said "is this a april fool??
a huge % of blizzard players are hardcore game players just to make you know ^^

I noticed the camera too- but im sure its a trailer thing.

First the game is far from ready, so a lot can change.
But that camera is too close even by modern blizzard standards... thats not the game camera, believe me; Its the engine allowing different levels of zoom, and a closer look looking much better on a reveal trailer

I sincerely hope that D4 will go back to its fantastic ARPG roots instead of being converted into another Blizzard eSport due to poor endgame planning.

So you deleted your account because Blizzard took a stab against participant-political-statements during a mayor live tournament event? If they let that slide.. it would be chaos.
Imagine every player being able to treat that live-feed like a personal "the world is unfair" video-blog.

At least they don't go after, and penalize, participant's personal time and social media, like many other organizers trying to cover their behinds.

This whole thing is absolutely blown out of proportion.

No, I deleted my account because Blizzard kowtowed to Chinese authoritarian censorship, silencing their players to get that sweet yuan. Letting players express themselves freely would be chaos? It's worked fine for years until now.

I'm not saying there can't be any rules, but their decision was excessive and contrary to the fundamentals of basic human rights. If you think the Hong Kong protesters are just whiny children who think the world is unfair, you're living in a different reality.

I don't think this is blown out of proportion at all, and I for one will be putting my money where my mouth is and supporting game companies who are taking a stand against censorship such as the ones listed on GamersForFreedom.com.

You misunderstand... both me and the reality of the situation.
But wtr.. I'm not here to change your mind. I just can't believe what's being said... by many 😕
