Rumor: Xbox Series X Diablo IV Edition Has Leaked - News

Tweet

Leaker billbil-kun has claimed that an Xbox Series X Diablo IV Edition will release alongside the game on June 6, 2023.

The limited edition console is priced at $559.99, which is $60 more than the standard Xbox Series X console. If the bundle includes the game it would be $10 cheaper than purchasing an Xbox Series X and the Diablo IV Standard Edition separately.

The leaker isn't sure when the Xbox Series X Diablo IV Edition will be announced.

Read details on the game below:

The demon Lilith and the angel Inarius united to create the world of Sanctuary in their desire to escape the Eternal Conflict between Heaven and Hell. But now, decades after the events of Diablo III: Reaper of Souls, they are bitter enemies who have resorted to war against each other with their respective followers. The lands of Sanctuary have become plagued with ceaseless demons, and only the most steadfast of heroes will be able to hold in the face of darkness. Players will enter the world with their choice of five classes—the shapeshifting Druids, agile Rogues, elemental Sorceresses, brutal Barbarians, and cunning Necromancers. As players grow in power, they can build their gameplay experience in directions that appeal to them, experimenting with skill trees to showcase complimenting spells and abilities.

Debuting in the Diablo universe is an expansive overworld. Players will drive back the demons of Hell across the diverse zones of Sanctuar—the snow-frosted forests of Fractured Peaks, the windswept highlands of Scosglen, the festering swamps of Hawezar, the barren wastelands of the Dry Steppes, and the deserts of Kehjistan, home to the central city of Caldeum. The non-linear experience consists of a captivatingly epic story, over 140 dungeons, side-quests, and a plethora of loot. Mighty World Bosses will emerge, taunting players to defeat them in groups for a chance at their spoils, and Strongholds stand in wait for heroic adventurers to claim once again for the citizens of Sanctuary.

Also advancing the world-class ARPG experience is a robust end-game system, where players will continue to grow in power as they take on a medley of challenges. There’s the grueling Helltide, a regularly occurring event that brings a surge in demonic activity to Sanctuary, new ferocious and particularly challenging Nightmare Dungeons, an updated Paragon Board system to continue customizing heroes to new heights of power, Whispers of the Dead which grant Legendary rewards for selected world bounties, and Fields of Hatred offer designated grounds for building PvP renown.

Diablo IV will launch for the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC via Battle.net on June 6, 2023.

Is it a rumor or a leak ? Can't be both, they're mutually exclusives

As tempting as it would be, I would rather wait for the Starfield versions.

If it doesn't include the game, as the article suggests that it may not, then it's exclusively about the visual redesign of the console, so I'd need to see each to pass judgement.

True I get that, my opinion on it is also the fact that I am far more interested in Starfield than D4 even though I will be playing both.

Yeah, fair enough. If the game were included I would likely favour the Starfield version myself! :) And I'm a big fan of space-based science fiction in general, so it's likely a Starfield console would look better to me too. :)

Well whaddya know, it looks like the game IS included, but that there's no funky design, so the Diablo version is a total non-starter for me.

Yea that's an easy pass as someone who already has a Series X.

I have a Series S, but could be tempted to upgrade to a Series X if there was some kind of sweet bundle. :) This isn't that, especially since the game will likely come to Game Pass later (if and when the ABK transaction goes through).
