It’s a leaky start to the week
One major game has already seen a major leak of info, and now it looks like another is joining the lineup. A leak of early footage ofDiablo IVhas been making the rounds, showing off more of the RPG in action.
Spotted by sites likePC Gamer, aReddit userlinked some footage from a filesharing site which seems to have footage from a private test build ofDiablo IV.
We’ve looked at the footage to verify its existence and yes, it sure does look likeDiablo. Alongside the giant watermarks plastered across the video, it’s got shops, towns, and placeholders.
We reached out to Blizzard for confirmation of the footage’s validity and comment.
Numbers go up
It was a notable weekend for leaks, as amassive pileofGrand Theft Auto VIfootage also found its way online. Rockstarconfirmed the leak’s validitythis morning, adding a statement addressing the leak.
“We are extremely disappointed to have any details of our next game shared with you all in this way. Our work on the nextGrand Theft Autogame will continue as planned, and we remain as committed as ever to delivering an experience to you, our players, that truly exceeds your expectations. We will update everyone again soon, and of course, will properly introduce you to this next game when it is ready.”
UnlikeGTA, we’ve seen quite a bit ofDiablo IVthrough various previews and trailers. Still, a leak’s a leak, and this puts some footage out without any context.
Blizzard has not commented on the leak as of this writing. The studiohasreleasedan updateonDiablo IV, however. An endgame closed beta is on the way, with direct invites rolling out using gameplay data.
Diablo IVis still a ways off, atthe very leastuntil next year. And alot has been happeningover at Activision Blizzard as well.
