Quick summary

Blizzard wants some classic action RPG DNA in the next Diablo game.

What we know so far

Automatic note by LuaCat Games, built from what we know about the coverage (who reported it, how many sites, the story’s history) — not a translation or copy of the source.

This comes from PC Gamer, which does its own reporting — for now, it's the only coverage. Some people met Diablo in 1996; others were born long after and joined in anyway. Worth remembering: Diablo already had a delay announced on 09/16/2026. If the date holds this time, we'll come back here and say so.

Bottom line: Safe to take the main point — it's the fine detail that sometimes shifts later.
