Following Diablo 3's more heavily stylised aesthetic, Diablo 4 returns to a more grimdark look that the series was known for during its early years. This dye system will be accessed from the Lair, where players can use a new 'Wardrobe' system to mix and match armour components and colour palettes.Įlsewhere in the update, Blizzard discussed the advancements made in Diablo's tech and art design. "You can dye each piece with a different color palette if you choose, or apply the same palette to all of them at once." "Each part of the armor can be dyed, including the helmet, chest, gloves, legs, and boots," said Kotelnikoff. Some elements will be class-specific, to support the classes’ unique backgrounds, but many will be shared between classes allowing more possibilities to mix and match."Īs ever, your chosen armour items will also be a large part of your character's look, and Diablo 4 will offer a more advanced dye system than that seen in Diablo 3. "You will also be able to change the color values of your character’s skin, eyes, hair/facial hair, and body markings. But what’s visible so far looks promising."You will be able to change the face of your character, the hairstyle, the facial hair (beards and eyebrows), and add jewelry (nose piercing or earrings), makeup, and body markings such as tattoos or body paint," explained Arnaud Kotelnikoff, Lead Character Artist on Diablo 4. The game’s early in production though, so it seems like we won’t see much of those options until a later date. When you’re battling a world boss together, nobody will forget your Sorceress or Druid.īlizzard said there will be an equal amount of customization for each class for anyone that was worried that their favorite would get neglected. Not only is this exciting for people who have a hard time connecting with the series’ previous appearance options, but also for people who want to differentiate themselves in the game’s new dynamic multiplayer. You won’t be forgotten as just another demon-slaying hero you’ll be uniquely you. That said, it’s nice to see the ability to be a black hero in a series that’s been inexcusably light on them so far, as well as people of different ages too - something games severely lack in general.ĭiablo 4 will also include your character in cutscenes, which furthers the game’s support of your own actual role-playing. They specifically used the word “curated” to describe the options, so it’s unlikely that you’ll be able to fully customize your hero with a bunch of sliders like in other RPGs. You’ll be able to change your appearance from set options that include different hair styles, ethnicity, eye color, scars, and jewelry.Īt BlizzCon, the team showed off different versions of the Sorcerer and Sorceress class that showed off a variety of face shapes and effects. The new game will give you the option to do more than change your gender from man or woman (although that dated binary still seems to exist). The five character classes of Diablo 4 will offer a lot more customization than the previous game, and will be featured more prominently in the game’s storytelling. For the first time in the Diablo series, you’ll be able to play a character that looks more like you, or whoever you want your hero to be.
