The Early Access period is over for
Diablo IV, and Blizzard's action/RPG
sequel has officially launched for PC and consoles. It is available through
Battle.net, along with details
on the game and the previously released
Gameplay
Launch Trailer. There are new game-ready graphics card drivers for this from
AMD and
NVIDIA
(there's also a
hotfix from NVIDIA if that
applies to you). And thanks to that Early Access,
Blizzard announces Diablo IV is its "fastest-selling game of all time." Word
is: "In the four days since early access started on June 1, Diablo IV has been
played for 93 million hours, or over 10,000 years --- the equivalent playing 24
hours a day since the beginning of human civilization." Read on for more on this latest battle against an incursion
from Hell:
The endless battle between the High Heavens and the Burning
Hells rages on as chaos threatens to consume Sanctuary. With ceaseless demons to
slaughter, countless Abilities to master, nightmarish Dungeons, and Legendary
loot, this vast, open world brings the promise of adventure and devastation.
Survive and conquer darkness – or succumb to the shadows.
Seeking refuge from the eternal conflict between the High Heavens and the
Burning Hells, Inarius and Lilith formed Sanctuary and gave life to the Nephalem
with the stolen Worldstone. Fearing for the destruction of her hybrid offspring,
Lilith led a violent, protective act to protect the Nephalem; ultimately leading
Inarius to turn his back on her, banishing her to the abyss, becoming enemies
henceforth. Lilith’s return ushers in an age of darkness and misery. What fate
awaits?
