Now players are anxious for Dark and Darker to return.ĭark and Darker is currently in mid-development with a tentative release date of late 2023. Dark and Darker could be that game, as the fantasy action game's latest alpha grew virally popular. Much like in the early days of battle royale popularity, an increasing number of Tarkov-like online multiplayer games seek to become the "breakthrough" release that goes mainstream. The visuals in Diablo 4 help elevate the darker tone with cinematic sequences zooming in on the characters to give a close-up view of the horror rather than the distant viewpoint used throughout the game.Dark and Darker will be returning soon, as expected, as developer Ironmace has confirmed plans for another free alpha test in the near future. Blizzard pushed the envelope in villainy by introducing Lilith, who entices individuals to let their inner demon out and do horrible things. Time and time again, I was creeped out by the events unfolding in the game. There are also landmarks to discover and overworld events that will send waves of gruesome enemies your way.ĭiablo 4 isn't just bigger, it also has a far darker feel than previous games in the series. Some will require killing a number of enemies in the wild, while others are focused on taking down bosses found in dungeons.ĭungeons are scattered throughout the regions, some of which take a few minutes to clear, while others may take up to 15 minutes or more. Quests in the game are abundant and will send you to the far reaches of Sanctuary. Zones generally have open areas filled with monsters, as well as different towns and encampments where players can interact with merchants or find side quests. Sanctuary is split into large regions that are then divided into smaller zones. Diablo 4 is bigger and darker than previous games, which is a much-needed upgrade to its dungeon-crawler formula.
