Barbarians have access to an "Arsenal" mechanic, allowing them to assign their individual skills to use specific weapons from their four melee weapon slots. The Barbarians are back with their massive strength and piles of weaponry. They also have some beast companion options in summonable wolves and ravens. Continue using Werebear skills, and you'll stay as a Werebear for longer. Where Druids had devoted transformation skills in earlier Diablo games, transformations in Diablo 4 are temporary states granted by relevant skills. If that's not enough for you, they can seamlessly shift into Werebear and Werewolf forms.

One of the first classes announced for Diablo 4, Druids are able to harness earth and storm magic. Headed by rogue angel Inarius, a Crusader expedition into hell proves through grisly, graphic impalement that angelic forces can be every bit as terrifying as their demonic counterparts. The release date trailer first shown at the 2022 Game Awards proves that Blizzard's cinematic teams are still firing on all cylinders.

The first official gameplay trailer was also a great tone-setter, showing off three of the character classes in combat, traversing the open world on horseback, and a bit of co-op against a gnarly, big boss creature. Imagine how much better off the world would be without treasure hunters accidentally resurrecting the ultimate evil. The cinematic is gorgeous and morbid, exactly as Diablo should be. The original reveal trailer was one hell of a way to announce Diablo 4. What other Diablo 4 trailers are out there? Forced to seek shelter alone, the player character takes a cave nap just in time to dream of dark and terrible omens.

Because it's a Diablo game, the pony does not fare well. It features the player character wandering a frozen mountain woodland-however you customize yours, they'll appear here-until they discover a statue with such rancid vibes that their horse flees panicked into the dark. Revealed at IGN's 2023 Fan Fest, Diablo 4's intro cutscene is as foreboding as you'd hope.
