There was a second, longer video at the showcase tonight that showed all classes in action - including the Necromancer swinging a big scythe - as well as some of the character customisation available this time. I was leaning Druid, honestly, but Necromancer might be the hot ticket. The Necromancer has a new 'Book Of The Dead' ability giving 'deeper customisation of their undead army'. The Necromancer comes with 'newly designed undead mechanics' who can fix even the most broken of engines. The Necromancer is the final playable class confirmed for launch, the others being the Barbarian, the Sorceress, the Druid and the Rogue (the latter making a return from the very first Diablo).

There's a moody trailer that tries to make being a Necromancer sound twisted and dangerous and a hard path to walk, but it mostly makes it sound like Necromancers are cool badasses with loads of skeleton best friends. Plus, the Necromancer is confirmed as the fifth playable class.

Why, that's the Diablo game people keep saying they want!

But at the Xbox & Bethesda Showcase tonight they were able to share that Diablo 4 is coming out next year for some much anticipated ARPG antics. It must be a relief to ActiBlizz to have some good Diablo 4 news, given how everyone on Earth is ragging on Diablo Immortal 24/8 (when we are not open-mouthed at the stream of terrible news about the company, from numerous allegations of harrassment, misconduct and discrimination, to the company advising shareholders to not approve a proposal to report on harassment and discrimination).
