Diablo 4 could feature Diablo 2’s runewords, Blizzard says

It goes with out saying that the most effective components of Diablo 2 is the Runewords improve system, and Blizzard has hinted that it might make a return in Diablo 4. When? Your guess is nearly as good as mine, however given the huge quantity of customization that’s already obtainable within the motion RPG game, Diablo 4 is shaping as much as be the sequence’ finest journey but.

For individuals who have by no means performed Diablo earlier than however bought lured into the Diablo 4 beta and ensnared in Lilith’s net, runewords are simply that – phrases made out of runes. In Diablo 2, you could possibly gather runes with completely different letter combos on them, then fuse them collectively to make a strong runeword that may very well be added to your weapons and armour. So, for instance, my all-time favorite runeword, Enigma (I even have it on a bracelet), was made up of JahIthBer and outfitted gamers with an additional teleport and motion velocity.

There are quite a lot of improve methods already deliberate for the Diablo 4 endgame, however at a digital roundtable PCGamesN attended, lead class designer Adam Jackson hints that we may even see the runeword system resurrected (ha ha, see what I did there?) within the extremely anticipated sequel.

When requested if there are any plans so as to add the system to the sport, Jackson replies with “we like runewords, they’re very cool.” With a wry smile he clarifies, “we don’t have something to announce about whether or not or not they’ll be within the sport sooner or later, however we do suppose they’re a very cool concept. That’s all I’m going to say proper now.”

I, for one, would like to see the return of Runewords – though I anticipate there will probably be a Diablo 4 twist concerned. As I stated in my Diablo 4 gameplay preview, Blizzard’s woeful world very a lot harkens again to the darkness and despair of Diablo 2, so I believe the function can be a welcome return to type and an awesome throwback to what many see as ‘the great outdated days.’
